Mexico-born tattoo artist Kat Von D (born Katherine Von Drachenberg)
first attained national recognition in her mid-twenties, via her participation
in the TLC network's reality series Miami Ink. The program observed the
goings-on at the 305 Ink tattoo shop in Miami Beach, FL, run by
Chris Nuñez and Ami James, which employs such tattooists as Darren Brass
and Chris Garver. Von D joined the program in 2005 and remained with it
for two seasons, but she reportedly left thanks to interpersonal
differences with the other participants. In 2007, shortly after
Von D's departure from Miami, the TLC network announced the launch of
her own series, LA Ink, in fall 2007 -- a program quite similar in structure
and content that unfolds at the High Voltage Tattoo shop in Los Angeles.

A woman of German, Spanish, and Italian descent (whose parents
hailed from Argentina), Von D grew up in the Colton, CA, area.
After discovering a great passion and talent for tattoo artistry,
she worked at such parlors as Pasadena's Blue Bird Tattoo
and True Tattoo (on Cahuenga Blvd. in L.A.).
