How long does it take to get tattooed by Kat Von D?

Question

A lot of people I have asked said that if you are in LA, that they can do walk-in appointments. I am not sure if this is true though. I would imagine there would be a waiting list of some kind. Also, I don't want to be on the series if that helps. If you know, please tell me what an average cost might be.

Answer 1

ull be on a waiting list for a couple months...

and ull prob NOT be tattooed by her...

but one of the other artists

Answer 2

the entire shop has a waiting list of up to 11 months. and the shop minimum is $200. so no matter how small the tat is it will cost no less than $200. its not worth it unless u got the cash and patience

Answer 3

Depends on what you get! That's with any tattoo artist!

Answer 4

To be honest her tattoos are not that great they are good but save your self some time and money and find a good artist

Answer 5

Kat doesn't book just anyone. Right now she's only doing bookings through the show and any tattoo events she's at. So basically it's pretty close to impossible to get her to do a tattoo for you. If you do get accepted to be on the show and get tattooed by her, her prices start at $1000 and go up from there. Currently, the wait is over a year.

The LA Ink shop is nothing like it is on TV. I walked in there while I was visiting LA. The place is basically like a huge set. The people that work there are rude and most of it is a shrine to Kat where you can buy shirts and other junk with her face on it.

If you want a tattoo there, it's insanely high...$300 for three 1x1 inch Chinese symbols. It's ridiculous. The actual shop is a joke. The artists on the show only tattoo there during tapings. Otherwise it's a bunch of snotty fake tattoo artists who think they can overcharge tourists and yuppies who walk into the place. No thanks!

Answer 6

not gonna happen

Answer 7

first you have to be hot, then have a good story of why you want to get a tattoo, make it dramatic sad and also cry a little, then have around 800 to 1000$ cash with you and after you have all that you have to go through a screening to be able to get on tv and if u dont want to get on tv you mite have to wait about a year or two to get an appointment with her, she doesnt take walk ins,  

Answer 8

In her shop prices start at 200 but by Kat it is $500 and up. Also you would be on the waiting list. I am on the list and have been since March its August. It usually takes about 2 hrs and up depending on the detail of your tattoo.

Answer 9

if you r goin to b in LA then call and ask

Answer 10

it is true that you can walk in and get tattooed that day but it def wont be by kat and probably not by any of the artists on the show....kat has other artists that dont appear on the series that work in her shop and thats how she can manage to have walk ins welcome........to get tattooed by kat herself though i read on the internet some where that the wait is like months, understandable considering she is totally awesome!.....i found out about these other artists from the shops site, they may not be tv stars but im sure they are also amazing artists because if they werent idt kat would want her shop or name associated with them

Answer 11

I looked on her myspace and website...and she doesn't say the cost. But yes you must book ahead of time. I imagine you would have to wait at least half a year, and it would first be a sketch then you would have to come back for the actual tattooing process.

Answer 12

h**l no, i'm pretty sure there's a waiting list and its a butt load of money to get tattooed there.  Kinda sad since right around the corner is a better shop called Velvet Grip with better artists than those at Kat Von D's shop, h**l, her work is mediocre at best.  If you want something absolutely brilliant, go to Ignition Tattoo in Apple Valley, CA and find Nikko Hurtado.

Answer 13

it depends on what you want really
