Kat Von D showed off a conservative look as she unveiled her book “High Voltage Tattoo: The Tattoo Chronicles” in NYC. Kat despite writing a book on tattoos didn’t show any of hers off, opting instead to let friend Jeffree Star show off his.

The Tattoo Chronicles is an illustrated diary that offers an intimate look at a crucial year in the personal and professional life of Kat Von D, the charismatic, no-holds-barred tattooer and star of LA Ink.

When Kat does a tattoo, she writes an entry about it in her journal, reflecting not only on the significance of the tattoo for the person who is receiving it but also on how the experience of creating this tattoo affects her personally.

In these diary entries—some poignant, some hilarious, some confessional—Kat lays it on the line about how doing these tattoos influences her life and art. Here are the highs and the lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly—including her feelings about her fame, family, love life, friends, and fans.

Don’t you just love those nerdy glasses? I am going to wear some of those on Halloween.
