new ink (soon)

for quite some time i've wanted to get a portrait tattoo of mom and the only tattoo artist i would want to do it is kat von d.....i found out about kat von d on a tv show called 'miami ink'....she specializes in black & gray portrait and pin-up style tattoos...kat lives in los angeles but had been flying to miami for the show taping...she's finished taping and is back in LA....
the process to get an appt w/kat is to email the request through her website and there is a statement on her site that says even if you request an appt, it doesn't guarantee you will get an appt.....apparently kat is booked out a couple months in advance.....
on 3/8, i emailed the request for an appt....

AND......the other day i received a call from aaron, kat's assistant, who said he read my request, and since i live in the area, they are able to get me in on friday, the 13th.....i can't believe it!! so, looks like i'll be meeting with kat on friday at true tattoo in los angeles and getting mom's portrait inked on my arm.....i want to have it placed where it is easily visible by me and others....

by having the tattoo, my mom will always be at my side :)
i love you mom!!!
