A. Ink and 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 parchment like pages, it throws the door wide open to tattooing culture in the way only an insider like Kat can. High Voltage Tattoo traces Kat's career as an artist, from early childhood influences to recent work, along with examples of what inspires her, information about the show and her shop, her sketches and personal tattoos. The book goes deep into tattoo process and culture: readers can see up close the pigments, the tools and the making of complex, even collaborative, tattoos. With a foreword by Mötley Crüe's Nikki Six, the book features images and stories about celebrities, rockers, pro skaters and everyday citizens, including Slayer's Kerry King, Anthrax's Scott Ian, Margaret Cho, Jackass' Bam Margera, David Letterman and many others. It profiles and showcases the work of artists Kat has selected from all over the world, her interviews with people who have compelling tattoos and stories and amazing images of extraordinary tattoo work. Numerous portfolios throughout the book showcase a range of relevant subjects, from the black and gray portrait work for which Kat is famous to a popular tattoo theme, such as the rose or biblical images. 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. Review: Génial - Je suis ravie. Cela faisait un moment que je voulais le commander, je ne regrette pas, le livre est superbe et les images magnifiques. Seul bémol, il n'y a pas de version française mais je le prends avec philosophie, cela m'oblige à travailler mon anglais (scolaire) Review: Magnífico libro - Magnífico libro. Buenas fotos y buen diseño. Hay que tenerlo si sigues a Kat Von D. Lo único negativo es que el libro no había sido cuidado y me llegó con las puntas dobladas, el lomo estropeado, rallado... Menos mal que el diseño del libro disimula todos esos desperfectos. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #462,974 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #177 in Body Art & Tattoo #1,146 in Pop Culture Art #2,687 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 528 Reviews | ## Images ![High Voltage Tattoo: An Insider's Guide to Tattoo Art and Culture by L.A.

Cela faisait un moment que je voulais le commander, je ne regrette pas, le livre est superbe et les images magnifiques. Seul bémol, il n'y a pas de version française mais je le prends avec philosophie, cela m'oblige à travailler mon anglais (scolaire) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnífico libro *by E***. on 29 June 2016* Magnífico libro. Buenas fotos y buen diseño. Hay que tenerlo si sigues a Kat Von D. Lo único negativo es que el libro no había sido cuidado y me llegó con las puntas dobladas, el lomo estropeado, rallado... Menos mal que el diseño del libro disimula todos esos desperfectos. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hands-on" beauty in a tech age world ... *by K***1 on 22 January 2009* All the other reviews are spot on. I would like to comment on the actual BOOK (construction) itself, as well as some of the content. I, being un-inked (but now am considering a small piece), was surprised at how good Kat's show was when I first started watching it during the first show, the first season. I'm hooked, and plan to watch until it isn't made anymore. How could anyone so young be so ... what's the word I'm grasping for? ... "together"?! This young woman is absolutely AMAZING! She dumped herself out onto her kitchen table, sorted thru everything, then plunked it into this book. She is what she seems and nothing else, yet she's multi-faceted and super talented. She found her passion at a very young age and has never let go of it. (Go Kat!) Yes, it has transformed/morphed into different versions throughout her young lifetime, but it's STILL THERE. To me it seems as if Kat was meant to be famous. She thinks nothing of it, yet utilizes it to help others. She's selfless and caring yet this book doesn't brag, it just informs. She's respectful (and in awe) of her colleagues, yet happy to be at the level of excellence she's currently at while continually honing her skills. The artwork showcased in this book doesn't stop at the individual tattoo artist's work ... no! The beauty of the book ITSELF is mind-blowing! Each and every detail was carefully considered. It is a classy printed version of (what seems like) a handmade scrapbook. The cover is padded hardcover. Believe it or not, the book actually feels like it BELONGS sitting in your hand! Each page is printed to look old and worn, and the printing goes all the way to the edge. The illustrated capital letter on almost every page is gothic, yet elegant and beautiful (calligraphers rejoice!). The calligraphy interspersed throughout is breathtaking. The photos are clear, sharp, crisp, like you are actually looking at the person's skin. All of the background history is short and sweet, easy to read, yet multi-dimensional. Not one bit of info included could be considered useless. The intro and outro were obviously handwritten in red ink by Kat with her favorite pen (corrections and all). The forward by Nikki Sixx ... WOW! This guy gets her. He's got the gift of words. And it's very cool to see the artwork Kat did on him. I pre-ordered it and got it very quickly (Thanks Amazon!). I have read it all the way thru twice now (in only 2 days), and have shown things to my husband (who doesn't like to read) and he has read a lot more of it than I thought he would. And, no, he's NOT just looking at the pictures! I have a nice place reserved for this book on our coffee table - and I guarantee that the faux distressing of the pages won't be faux for long! Kat, if you are reading this, THANK YOU. What a beautiful piece of artwork to grace our home, as well as a heartfelt autobiography! And who knows ... I may make the trip from NJ to LA to acquire my very first tattoo! Congratulations, and best wishes for your continued success. ## Frequently Bought Together - High Voltage Tattoo - The Tattoo Chronicles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/64658614-high-voltage-tattoo-an-insiders-guide-to-tattoo-art-culture](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/64658614-high-voltage-tattoo-an-insiders-guide-to-tattoo-art-culture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
