Kat Von D Essay
Katherine von Drachenberg Kat von D Kat von D was born on March 8th, 1982 in Montemorelos, Nuevo Leon, mexico. She started tattooing at the age of 14 but has been drawing her whole life. Her well known came upon the television series LA Ink. Kat is still currently owning her own shop and has a growing amout of visits per day.

Von D possessed alot of inspiration from love. As said in her interview its known as her higher power. As a successful business person, she couldnt have done it without her family. Kat seems to be driven by herself of being a female in a male known industry. Men are very intimidated by her work she has done since she first started tattooing and drawing.

The history of the company LA Ink is diverse throughout the years. Kat has had employees come in and out of her shop since the grand opening. During the construction, she was very skeptical about how things were placed and built. After the completion of LA Ink, the shop has never had a slow day. Her and her employees have had a waiting list for up to a seven month period.

The products of Kat von D are mostly tattoo concealers and tattoos. The tattoo concealer simply covers up tattoos according to your own complection. The use of the concealer is great for formal outgoings. Her tattoos are also a great product for expressing yourself and never forgeting about them. Her work has escalated since the age of 14 and will never stop.

My opinion to the competition to LA Ink is that no other tattooing company could compare. With the drive of Kat to proving to her fans that girls are able to be in a guy position is very important. I feel that Kat is very against the sexis outlook of careers. But of course there is cometition out there that are driven by Kat to become a better artist and get inspired by her work.

I have never had an experience with Kat von D's product mostly because i have not yet been tattooed by her or her employees. For that, i have not used her

    Tattoos hold a unique position in the U.S. market in many respects. First, of course, being that the end consumer doesn't receive any kind of consumable product, but rather a specific and permanent alteration of their skin and surrounding tissue. Second, as a somewhat direct result of the first, the tattoo market in one city is completely independent from the market in any other city. Indeed, because a tattoo is essentially a work of art, and all artists create their own individual works, the fees associated with getting a tattoo can be completely different at one shop than the next one just down the road. Third, and maybe most important, There is not really a middle man to speak of in the…

    It has been brought to my attention; that the past motion pictures you have acted in have not been as successful as we both thought. This in no way shape or form has any thing to do with your comic routines, as we both know they are a huge success and growing ever more popular day by day. The American public loves who you are, and what you stand for although my sources tell me that your acting needs some polishing up. This is what the people want and being on top as an actor and a comedian the sky is the limit for Katt Williams. This is not as big of a deal as it sounds. I have pulled some strings and have landed you an audition on Broadway. I know Katt Williams on Broadway? Yes this lead role is perfect for you it allows you to use your natural funny and mix it with some real acting. Soap Opera, David Ives doesn’t sound like the funniest play ever. You state in stand up you can’t judge a book by its cover the same goes for plays. This is exactly what your career is in dire need of.…

    Throughout the past thirty or so years, the human body began to show originality, not through bone structure, but through personality. Wilham and Bulark (2003) believe sixty five percent of adults (18+) in the United States chose to add originality to their skin. This form of art is called tattooing. The process of tattooing is described by Mirriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (2003) as, "to mark or color (the skin) by pricking in coloring matter so as to form indelible marks or pictures." Even though originality may seem ideal, there is a controversy over whether getting tattooed or to worry about the stereotype of promised disease, infection, and easy fading. The question is, why would a person allow an unknown individual to place foreign inks into their skin, with sharp needles? The answer lies in the tattoo parlors that shape our body modified world, and the god/goddess if the shop, the tattoo artist.…

    Female Body Image Analysis

    During the 19th century, the skin needed to be perfect as well. Facial blemishes were believed to be cured by marriage by some because it “indicated a life that was out of balance” (body proj 62) and was an indication of masturbation or uncleanliness. Acne was everyone's disease and was seen in different races and classes of individuals. The body project also extends to women who view the ideal self in body modifications such as tattoos and piercings. Courtney is no stranger to tattoos and piercings and neither is Alex. At the age of 13, she received her first piercing while she would receive her first tattoo at 18 years of age. Now 25, she has five tattoos, 15 piercings and gauged ears. Courtney has been interested with body modifications since she was very young. While each tattoo has it's own story which has helped her through a time in her life, she likes to think of them “as a scrapbook of who I am, who I can be, and who I’ve been.” She also believes that “society still has hang-ups on a woman taking control of her body in such a permanent way, as if a woman is incapable of making drastic, permanent decisions”adding that sometimes “men have unfairly assumed I’m “slutty” because I have visible tattoos and piercings, because “nice girls don’t wear their rebellious behavior on their sleeve.” Alex also believes that society views women…

    For others, a tattoo is a passing “fad”, a craze, and is something they will later regret. These are most often the people who go with a group of friends to get tattooed because it's “cool," or perhaps some are those who would, in the thralls of a passionate affair, get a lover's name inked into their flesh. These people are most commonly the ones who are often ashamed of what they consider a momentary…
