Kat made celebrity news headlines by finally opening up about her “toxic” relationship with Jesse in an extensive Facebook blog, which she titled “Thank You, Jesse James.”

In the blog, she revealed:

“Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year.”

The tattoo artist added:

“I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship.  All of this may sound petty or immature to some, but I assure you this is coming from a place of pure honesty and love.”

Some people are probably wondering why Kat would bother going into a relationship with a man who so famously cheated on his wife (if you didn’t already know, Jesse gained notoriety in Hollywood when he cheated on ex-wife Sandra Bullock). In the blog, the heavily tattooed brunette explained that, in some way, she gave the relationship a chance because she wanted to prove that people could change. She wrote:

“There was a time when I was confident and excited at proving the world wrong, because I believed so deeply in people’s ability to change for the better. Although this was not a primary purpose in the relationship, I did feel like it would be a positive thing for those who judged Jesse solely based on what they read in tabloids, to see that change is always possible — even in the people who seem hopeless.”

Kat, who announced her second and final split with Jesse James on her Facebook page back in September, then went on to talk about Jesse’s womanizing ways:

“I think it just made me sad today to imagine him still in that dark place — where seeking validation through the attention of women takes precedence over being a good father, a sincere friend, a better coworker, and a happy individual.”

I tried my best to go through all of this without venting, or complaining, or fueling more tabloid mumbo jumbo — but this isn’t about any of that… This is about me making peace with myself, and forgiving myself for making some bad mistakes.”

She then ended the blog with a “thank you” to her philandering ex. Kat said:

“I don’t want to sink into the feelings of regret, or resentment… Because right now, for the first time in my life I have felt regret,  (for someone like me, who’s never felt that before, this is hard to say out loud).

Time is something you can never get back, and what we do with this very present moment is the most real thing we have. So if that’s the lesson Jesse forced me to face and learn by all of this, than all I can say is Thank You.

It would be nice to move on now, and kindly thank you all in advance for your support, love, and positivity.”

What can you say about Kat’s lengthy blog? Do you applaud her for being honest, or is she acting like a bitter ex by throwing Jesse under the bus and airing out his numerous indiscretions?

Celebrity news reported that Jesse James had been repeatedly unfaithful to his ex-wife, Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, and again with Kat when they were together, hence the many splits and broken engagements between them.

The site, Cheaterville.com, is

“working out the final agreement with Kat Von D’s people.  She has been offered $20,000 and all she has to do is endorse the site and make a 30 second PSA with the site’s owner, former US Marine James McGibney, about anti-cheating and why cheating in Hollywood needs to stop now.”

Why only Hollywood? We’re sure cheating is cheating everywhere, and whether the victims are celebrities or ordinary people, cheaters lay hurt and devastation in their path.

So, Kat Von D, will we be seeing you take a stand?

This time, it looks like they’ve broken up for good. A source tells RadarOnline.com:

“They are done, through and through finished, split, game over. They are both confident that they won’t be giving it another go. It’s the end of the road for them… I think it just fizzled out between them. They were hot and heavy to start, but once the sexual attraction started waning there wasn’t really anything left to sustain a relationship.”

The insider adds:

“Also, Kat didn’t really want to relocate to Austin from LA and neither of them really had the commitment to make a long distance relationship work.”

Kat herself confirmed the breakup with Jesse on her Facebook page. In response to all the questions posed by her fans, the tattoo artist wrote:

“I think maybe the final episode of LA Ink left things a bit confusing to some.  So in a nutshell here goes:

1. I am not in any way moving to Texas.  I am not opening up another tattoo shop.  And I am not leaving my shop here in Los Angeles, High Voltage Tattoo.

2. I am not in a relationship. (And I apologize for all the “back and forth” if it’s caused any confusion)

3. I am in no way retiring – (what does that even mean anyway???)

4. My tattoo shop is not closing, and is open for business like always! (Same goes for my art gallery, Wonderland -  next door to High Voltage Tattoo.)

5. As hard as it is to sometimes let go of the things you are so accustomed to doing, I am happy to have done LA Ink, but am even more excited about new upcoming ventures – and cant wait to eventually share more about this with you all!”

It’s probably only a matter of time before they get back together, but who knows? Maybe Kat’s finally realized that Jesse’s a no-good cheater who’ll just do to her what he did to ex-wife Sandra Bullock.

Who would’ve thought that the 22-year-old Gaga would eclipse even Kat Von D’s fame not three years from that very date. But what would a budding musician do upon moving to L.A. if not to get a tattoo from Kat Von D, who then held the Guinness World Record of the most tattoos given by a single person in 24 hours, at her High Voltage Tattoo shop.

“I’m a singer and also a songwriter for other artists,”

Gaga told Kat Von D who’d been working away on her lower back.

“I worked with New Kids on the Block last night, it was rad!”

Clearly, this Gaga was still the star-struck Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta whose performances were heretofore confined to the New York underground.

If you’ve forgotten that creature of old, here’s Lady Gaga getting her first Kat Von D tattoo…

Celebrity gossip websites delved deeper into the balding Kat situation and found out the hairy situation’s reportedly been caused by stress…

“Kat totally has bald spots and it’s from stress,”

a friend reveals.

“It’s worse than anyone her age should have. The combination of all the treatments she does to her hair and stress have finally caught up with her. She’s started ordering wigs along with the hair pieces and extensions she already uses.”

And Kat‘s stress has supposedly been caused by her recent breakup and subsequent make-up with on-again-off-again fiance Jesse James, as well as her show’s cancellation.

One thing’s for certain sure…if she loses all her hair, that’ll just leave her more skin to work with. Good for business, eh?

Jesse went on Twitter to post this picture of him and Kat reunited all but four hours ago with the message:

“@TheKatVonD *para siempre*”

and for all of you non-Spanish speaking ladies and gents, that means “for always”…

Or at least until the next trashy female comes around and gives him the wink.

Current entertainment news hopped over to Kat Von D‘s Twitter feed just to make sure the twitpic wasn’t a fake, and what do you know, the queen of ink posted one of her own at the very same time Jesse did:

“Sometimes you are only given one chance in life,”

Jesse James has been quoted in an interview.

“It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her.”

Can you believe this guy? Just between us and you…we still think it was that armpit tattoo…awesome advanced planning Kat!

The title of Kat’s post “What Can I Say? I Suck”.

Today felt pretty impossible. Most of the times, regardless of what’s going on around me, I’m usually strong enough to not let things get to me like this.

But today there seems to be no way of escaping my thoughts.

“What have I done?”
“I sure made a mess of things”
“Wish today was over..”

Today was really hard for me. And no ones to blame other than myself.

Never planned on walking away from this relationship, let alone the timing of things.

Never was good at being anything other than myself either. And as much as I’d like to picture me being this strong, independent woman, the truth is most of the time I’m not as strong as I’d like to be – but I’m still trying.

Although my intentions were never to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings, this isn’t an apology for walking out on a silly morning show interview this morning- and this isn’t an attempt at justifying anything either. I don’t expect people to understand, just like I can’t expect myself to be able to please everyone at all times.

Tomorrow the new season of LA Ink starts and I admit I’m not strong enough to do all the press I committed to doing for the show. Today was a perfect example of that.

I’m not going to flatter myself in thinking I’m interesting enough for the press not to pry into gossip-related questions so its unfair of me to expect them to respect that ..but even though it’s not in my nature to cancel on people, it IS in my nature to admit when I’m weak.

According to Hollywood gossip news, the break-up could have been triggered by another woman. We all have our weak moment but I think Kat has made a right choice to break off the engagement.

LA Ink new season, anyone follows?

Kat tells star news of Jesse James‘ fifth grade portrait underneath her left armpit:

“I love my tattoo…it’s more than just a portrait, it has a lot of meaning.”

Apparently, all of the tattoo artist’s ink has meaning to her, and she has another tattoo of an ex-boyfriend on her body somewhere which she doesn’t intend to remove either.

Can you imagine Kat looking back on her life at age 80, and wondering if she has any bare skin left to commemorate her geriatric boyfriend at the nursing home?

Image via WENN

Which is really funny because Hollywood rumors did hear Kat approve of mentioning the tat on the show, as well as her recent breakup with Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband.

And just like she did to announce the split, Kat took to Twitter in full multi-colored tinted indignation:

“Dear GoodDayLA, thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion n respect for eachother never fails to dissapoint me.”

And also…

“@askjillian I didn’t walk out because you used the clip we sent you- I walked out because of your disrespectful intro you guys “snuck” in.”

As well as…

“@askjillian ps. Publicly disrespecting people for the sake of better ratings isn’t something a person of compassion does. Good day..”

How dare “Good Day L.A.” disrespect the privacy of an ink-stained reality star who agreed to do an interview! Disrespectful!

Jesse and Kat officially called off their engagement on Monday—Kat herself announced it on her Twitter page—but neither party revealed the reasons as to why they split up.

Despite Jesse’s uncharacteristic silence and Kat’s refusal to give up the details, RadarOnline.com has found out what may be a legitimate reason for the split—the former couple had been fighting about another woman right before they broke up. Hmmm.

A source witnessed a particularly heated fight between Jesse and Kat right outside their home in L.A. on Monday. The witness shares:

“They were outside and I could hear them fighting. Kat kept throwing some woman’s name out and arguing about how she didn’t like him living so far away.”

The source continues:

“Jesse finally said, ‘Fine, f**k you!’ and sped away on his motorcycle. Kat sat in her Bentley with her head on the steering wheel for about three minutes before finally driving away.”

That same day, Kat took to Twitter to announce the breakup:

“I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.”

See what we mean about no details whatsoever? But, based on the account of the pre-breakup squabble, it’s pretty obvious that the reason for their split was because he cheated on her. The witness admits:

“It was clear from the tone of the conversation that Kat was accusing Jesse of something with this other woman.”

Seriously, is anyone even surprised by this bit of celebrity news? Jesse famously cheated on his ex-wife Sandra Bullock before getting together with Kat, so obviously he’s capable.

What do you think? Once a cheater, always a cheater?

Apparently not. Kat Von D and her heavily tattooed self broke the news on Twitter not a few hours ago:

“I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.”

And to think there was news of an engagement in the offing. I guess not even Kat Von D could continue loving Jesse James for who he truly is – whatever that might be.

When asked about his breakup with Kat, Jesse immediately responded:

“Absolutely not true.”

Kat also added that the report was:

“…the furthest thing from the truth.”

In his annoyance, Jesse tweeted:

“I like that all the piece of Shit tabloids are now following me on Twitter. I’m pretty sure it’s just so I can tell them to Lick My B*lls.”

How classy and elegant. Anyway, there you have it. Jesse and Kat are not broken up. They are still very much engaged, and they are still going through with their summer wedding as planned. Jesse even gushed:

“We’re still going strong… Things are completely good with us. Everything is on track. I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She’s the one for me.”

Yeah… until he gets tired of her and cheats on her, like he did with Sandra.

According to the latest Hollywood gossip, ”That’s what he’s telling pals,” an insider tells Life & Style. “He says there’s too much drama for him.”

Recently, the couple have been venting their frustrations on Twitter and many believe their tweets have been directed at each other. “I guess I was trying to take too much from the world. Funny how things go from amazing to s–t in the blink of an eye,” Jesse tweeted on June 5. “I have no regrets,” Kat tweeted the same day.

The two then lovey dovey couple were last spotted at jesse’s book signing in Los Angeles a month ago. Looks like he needs to revise his memoir and put in a last chapter..

The couple started dating less than two months after Jesse and Sandra‘s high-profile divorce back in August 2010.

“2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend,” Jesse had said.”An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs.”

What do they call this? Karma kicks you in the face?

Although he has worked with Kat for many years, Oliver disses her and her place during a little chat with TMZ. He says that they “make real tattoos” at his shop, unlike Kat’s “gimmicky tourist tattoos” at High Voltage, her place of business.

Kat’s ex, who took ownership of True Tattoo in Hollywood last January, goes on to toot his own horn:

“Nobody gets a good tattoo [at High Voltage]… We’re a real tattoo shop.”

Despite her ex’s lack of admiration for her tattoo skills, we’re pretty sure Kat wouldn’t mind—especially after fiancé Jesse James publicly praised her skills in the bedroom.

So anyway, who’s ready to check out “tattoo-artist-to-the-stars” Kat Von D’s new competition?

Jesse and Kat have been engaged since January so that’s a long three months. First we were told he was going to marry Kat in a month’s time; and in early March he was seen wearing a ring on his ring finger right after Kat’s 29th birthday bash which fuels marriage rumors. Now the ring has disappeared but they are still together.

So we assume, they aren’t married yet but we see that coming shortly. Speedy dating, speedy engagement, speedy marriage and hopefully not speedy divorce.

Do you think Jesse will stay faithful this time? It’ll be his fourth marriage when and if he walks down the aisle again.

“Jesse and Kat don’t see any reason why they should wait to trade vows,” a source close to the couple tell Radar Online.

“They are madly in love with each other and want to make everything official.”

According to the source, Jesse and Kat have already started planning their wedding, which will be small and outside of California.

Well, I won’t expect it to be big anyway, methinks a lot of Hollywood buddies would be no-show.

My next question is: Do you think Kat is pregnant?

No, the timing is off on my part. The cheating scandal came out right after Sandra won the Oscar; that was with Bombshell Michelle McGee. Well, at least he’s not marrying her.

“You know sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend. An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs,” James tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day. My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said ‘yes.’ Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”

Well Jesse sure moved on fast, not sure if the ink of their divorce papers have dried yet.. Jesse and Sandra divorced last June.

Do you think Jesse and Kat will last?

Her PDA-filled relationship with Sandra Bullock’s ex Jesse James had sparked controversies. Shortly after Jesse and Bullock’s divorce, Kate Von D and Jesse have been romantically linked together.
Aside from sharing the passion of having many tattoos all over their bodies, Kat and Jesse both went through divorces–three for Jesse and one for Kat.

Talking about what Jesse saw in her, “I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day. My love for her is beyond description.”

That’s just the 2010 update, not sure if it’ll still be Jesse in the long-run.

Birth name: Katherine Drachenberg

Born: March 8, 1982 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; Kat and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was four.

Zodiac Sign: Pisces
