She is a musician.
And she's a unique witty, a unique person in the world.
She's a Christian.
And she's just had quite a journey in life, as we all have.
We're grateful to sit down with her today.
Today's guest is my friend, Miss Kat Von D.
I'm on the stage.
To go to the grocery store.
Those are to go...
Do you want to pull the mic up?
Are you okay with that?
Yeah, whatever.
That's okay.
You're going to the grocery store in those?
No, I don't go to the grocery store.
Ikea, I can't even...
I mean, maybe like on Neptune or something, I feel like.
I don't know how...
I wonder if they would even...
If I were at the grocery...
I don't know if I would let you in.
I think it almost looks like you're shopping.
We don't have to wear glasses, by the way.
No, we can take them off.
I just...
I know that you...
Yeah, you walked in with these and I was like, wow.
Yeah, I feel like that was virtual reality before they had kind of virtual
reality, I guess.
Well, yeah, because the...
Like glasses, like if you have dark glasses, I feel like then...
Yeah, the reality was kind of virtual because it almost seems like when you
have glasses on,
like that the world is a little bit separate from you.
Yeah, I mean, when I walk around with these, I can like stare at people.
And they don't really...
I don't feel bad about it because they can't see it.
I don't know.
Yeah, because they're skiing by you probably.
I would assume that's probably why.
No, but you always look so stylish.
And so that's why I wore this nice jacket.
That is nice.
Thank you.
Yeah.
But yeah, we can take them off if that's okay with you.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
And they look really neat.
Yeah, thanks for coming in.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, it's a pleasure.
It's really, really cool.
I've known about you for a long time.
Sorry, if I seem a little bit rattled, I ended up watching a movie real late
yesterday.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, I was watching...
Well, it's holiday time, you know, so I was watching Family Man.
That's my favorite Christmas movie.
Okay.
Cool.
Have you seen it?
No.
Really?
No, my son's on a Home Alone kick right now.
So, yeah, he really loves Harry and Marv.
Like, to hear his little voice say, like, I love Marv.
I'm just like, this is the cutest thing ever.
Yeah, I mean, it also shows he might be lightly be considering crime, I think,
because Marv,
they're the wet bandits, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's the Tom and Jerry situation where he, like, laughs at
somebody falling,
you know?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I was watching that sequence the other day, and it's so funny when he
sets the little
race cars.
And then I just love how they don't get deterred, though.
They keep trying to get into the house and do the dumbest stuff.
I wonder if people like Harry or Marv more.
Huh.
I don't know.
Harry was the lovable one.
Yeah, that's Daniel Stern right there.
He was kind of the...
I'm a huge Joe Pesci fan, so...
You are?
Yeah, I think, like, my cousin Vinny is one of my favorites.
Yeah.
My cousin Vinny, it feels like, is my life currently.
Oh, really?
Yeah, because my husband and I...
I mean, my husband doesn't look like Joe Pesci, but he dresses like him in that
movie, like,
with the cowboy boots and, like, the black leather.
Oh, yeah.
Like an Uber driver in Tulsa, kind of?
I don't know.
But we ended up...
Oh, there's your husband and kid right there.
Yeah.
Oh, they're so handsome.
Thanks.
But we ended up moving to Indiana in the middle of nowhere, and it just...
It's kind of, like, weirdly fish out of water, but not really.
Like, we really...
I really do feel like we belong there.
Yeah?
But, yeah, so I always think about my cousin Vinny's scenario.
Yeah, because he was kind of in a rural area, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that movie was good.
Yeah.
I like Family Man.
Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?
I don't think so.
I mean, like, Nightmare Before Christmas, I guess.
It's kind of the token goth Christmas movie.
I don't know.
That is true.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think after...
What's that movie that...
What was that...
What's the thing that all the goth people do in town?
I used to go to it sometimes.
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Or is that a goth thing, or is that not?
No, I think it's, like, a theater kid thing.
I don't know.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, sometimes, like, the goth kids would always get kind of grouped in with
that.
Yeah.
Like, I remember people would drive by them sometimes and be like,
Yeah, have fun at Rocky Horror Picture Show.
And they'd be like, what?
So, maybe that's just...
No one's yelled that at me before, but...
Yeah, did you see Macaulay Culkin was just on the news yesterday?
He got a star.
He got a star.
Yeah.
I don't know why that made me so happy.
Like, I don't know why it took that long, I guess.
He's, like, the most, like, iconic child actor, right?
Yeah.
If you think about it.
Oh, yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
You know, I try not to think about children much that, you know, because if I
don't...
Yeah.
Just for, you know, checks and balances and all.
But, yeah, I love...
Yeah, he was the best.
It was interesting.
Kind of listening.
Did you see his speech that he made?
No, but I saw Catherine O'Hara was there, and I love that support.
Yeah.
I think it's so cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was really sweet.
Yeah, I wonder...
I think of that a lot about, like, childhood actors.
Like, how...
Can you play it real quick?
You can find it on Twitter.
Yeah, I can.
It was kind of interesting.
What?
Just because of growing up in Los Angeles, it seems really scary place.
Yeah.
Or the entertainment industry seems like a really uncomfortable place to grow
up in.
Yeah.
But, yeah, thanks for coming in.
Kat Von D, really nice to see you today.
Yeah.
And so, just for some of my viewers that don't know, right?
So, I know that you are an artist and a tattoo artist.
Yeah.
And an entrepreneur.
Thanks.
And you started...
Or people would know you a lot from LA Inc. and from a lot of your tattoo work.
Yeah.
And that whole universe, right?
Totally.
Is that fair to say?
Sure, yeah.
I think a lot of people know me from the tattoo world and the tattoo TV shows
that I used to be on and stuff.
And then I've done a lot of things along the way and, yeah.
Nice.
And so, now you've moved out of Los Angeles, right?
Recently, yeah.
Yeah.
How long ago did you move out?
Well, I bought a house about two or three years ago in the middle of nowhere in
Indiana.
And it was really about the house.
I mean, it was about a lot of things.
There's a lot of reasons behind making such an extreme move.
But I love restoring old Victorian houses.
And in LA, I used to have a house that was built in 1890.
And this one was built in 1874.
So, it's a second empire style Victorian home.
And it was operating as a bed and breakfast for, I think, a few decades.
And my husband and I, when all the lockdown stuff started happening in
California,
we just saw a different facet to where we called home.
And we just didn't feel connected anymore.
We didn't really want to be there anymore.
And so, we looked up rural towns in different states.
And I feel like no one knows where this town is.
Even my friends in Indiana have never heard of it.
And so, that was a really good sign.
We were like, let's find a place where we can be kind of left alone.
And we went there and we loved it.
And people say it's haunted.
But I haven't experienced that.
Yeah.
Well, it's haunted by you now, it sounds like.
Because if it wasn't haunted, I feel like it kind of like, now it's got its
chance, you know.
Because, but also, 1874, that is so crazy.
Especially in Indiana.
Indiana, I think, had a lot of like, I don't know if they had like slave stuff
up there.
Well, actually, like, so our house was built by Benjamin Franklin Shank.
And he was the haymaker of the town.
So, his family made hay.
And they also owned a lot of the steamboats.
And it's called Switzerland County because a lot of the original settlers were
from Switzerland.
And what's really cool about the Shank family is that there's actually
underground tunnels that connected through underneath our house.
So, they were pretty big advocates for helping out.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
So, the Underground Railroad stopped there.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, I think I could see you being in a place that the Underground Railroad
had stopped through and kind of Hogwarts probably passed through.
Like, definitely a thorough, you know, I just.
I love getting pigeonholed right now.
Sorry, sorry.
I love it.
I love it.
It's good.
The only way I know how to, like, accept things in the world is to pigeonhole
them, I think.
So, was it tough choosing?
Because that sounds like almost so much fun.
Like, once you guys made that decision.
Was it hard to make that decision to leave Los Angeles or?
No.
Yeah.
We, yeah, it was almost overnight, too.
We were just like, we got to get out of here.
And, you know, we have a son, too.
And I think, like, a little bit of what you were talking about before, just
there's pros and cons to everywhere you live.
You know, I think, like, L.A. has some really beautiful things about it.
I love my friends.
I think L.A. has the best food in this country, to be honest.
But it's just my own opinion.
Yeah.
And, you know, I like the pretty things, I think.
There's, like, nice, like, where I'm at, there's no sidewalks.
Like, we just have, like, a lot of dirt roads and that.
So, we don't, there's no billboards.
There's no Uber, nothing, no delivery services.
We have, like, one stoplight and a gas station.
And it's, I don't know, I prefer the latter, you know.
Yeah.
But I go to L.A. a lot because we still have, like, I make music.
My husband is a musician as well, so we fly back out a lot.
All of our producer friends and stuff are there.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, when you say of how it was interesting, like, once you made the choice,
kind of, that
was kind of the same for me.
Like, I've been living in Los Angeles for maybe 16 years, I think.
And so, I still have my apartment there, right, just because it's cheaper than
going and even
getting a hotel for when I do go back.
I know, when I go out there now, I stay with Charo.
She's my best friend, and she's nice enough to give us, like, a little room in
the back
of her house.
And, yeah, it's, I look forward to it.
I feel like being able to see my friends and stuff.
But I also look forward to kind of escaping and just, you know, having, like, a
safe haven.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.
And once I made the decision, there was actually a friend that said, you should
move to Nashville.
And I was like, that's so weird.
And I talked to a friend of mine about it, an old friend of mine.
And he's like, dude, you used to talk about that when we lived.
By moving to Nashville?
Yeah.
He's like, wh
