Kat Von D has revealed what she looks like now after inking out 80% of her body with tattoos.

In photos shared to her social media, she has completely covered her famous tattoos with all-black down her arms.
Kat also revealed she is in the process of lasering some of her artwork, including a rose on her neck, as she keeps her Instagram followers up to date with the process.
The TV personality previously opened up about her decision while talking to Inked Magazine.
‘I think I had been fed up with a lot of the tattoos I got over the years for a long time,’ she admitted.

The change, according to updates from the Mexican-born celebrity tattoo artist, was part of a larger pattern of reform that included her self-proclaimed abandonment of witchcraft for Christianity and her departure from Los Angeles to rural Indiana.
