Kat Von D set up shop in a Borders to sign copies of her new book High Voltage Tattoo.

High Voltage Tattoo is a graphic perspective on today’s global tattoo culture by Kat Von D, star of The Learning Channel’s L.A. Inkand one of the most talented and popular artists working today. Designed in a style that is reminiscent of a handmade Gothic journal with its red padded cover, ornate typography, and parchmentlike pages, it throws the door wide open to tattooing culture in the way only an insider like Kat can.

If you go a grab yourself a copy you’re in for a special treat boys and girls.

There is a knockout ten-page full-body spread of Kat—clad in a yellow bikini and seven-inch, rhinestone-studded red stilettos—that catalogs in detail all her personal tattoos on her front, back, left, and right sides—even her hands and head.

Once you go ahead and jump onto the “head tattoo” train that’s pretty much end of the line for most folks, but not Ms. Von D. It’s only a matter of time before Kat unveils her hooha tat. I’m not sure about how the skin there would take the ink, but given her vast tattoo related experience I’m sure she could find a way…and then put photographs of it in a book for the rest of us to admire.

I’m sure Kat Von D is trying to make some manner of statement by showing up at this post-Grammy party looking like she just escaped from the set of a cheesy horror flick, but I don’t know what it is.

Maybe it’s “Your children should be in bed, and nowhere near me.”

Maybe it’s “And you thought clowns were scary?”

Maybe it’s “If my boots were any higher, I would be having sexual intercourse with them.”

I mean, seriously, is it just me, or does she look like she’s got a penis poking out of those pants?

Weird, weird, weird.
