Kat Von D is currently doing a second edit of her next book, due for release on 26th October this year.

The title of this latest offering by the worlds cutest tattooist is “The Tattoo Chronicles”.

The compelling follow-up to the New York Times bestseller “High Voltage Tattoo” by the charismatic, no-holds-barred LA Ink star is to be packed with 240 pages of content.

High Voltage Tattoo has 130,000 copies. Signings for the book often drew as many as 1,500 people.

Kat Von D’s followup to High Voltage Tattoo offers an intimate look at a pivotal year in her personal and professional life through an illustrated diary that begins in spring 2008 and ends in summer 2009.

When Kat does a tattoo, she writes about it and draws sketches in a journal, creating an entry for each piece. She has hundreds of ledgers of these entries in her own writing which reflect not only upon the significance of the tattoo for the person who is receiving it (their story), but also how the experience of creating this tattoo affects her personally. In these entries – some poignant, some hilarious, some serious – she lays it on the line about how doing these tattoos affects her life and her art.  Here are the highs and the lows, the good, bad, and the ugly – including her feelings about her fame, her family, her boyfriend (Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue), her friends, and fans.

Visually stunning, this graphically compelling diary is jam-packed with tons of Kat’s sketches, candid photographs, images of a variety of amazing finished tattoos and her many unusual personal collections – all shot by Kat herself. Fans will love the array of clients featured here, including Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, guitarist Dave Navarro, and Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, as much as they will love seeing new photographs of Kat that were taken specifically for the book.

Here’s the real Kat Von D – unscripted and uncensored.
