Katherine von Drachenberg, or better known as Von D, revealed she got her entre leg covered to hide her tattoos. She is a Mexican-born American tattoo artist, model, entrepreneur and recording artist. Von D explained that she covered the area from her upper thigh to her backside in black ink. However, she asked her followers to hold their criticism until after reading the reason behind it. Moreover, she did cover a portrait.
Von D wrote, “Before anyone starts criticizing, I encourage you to remember that it’s ok not to like or even understand things. Trust me, I’ve seen plenty of tattoos I personally would never get. And those differences make this world so much more interesting! So no need to comment any negativity.” She continued, “Just know that I absolutely LOVE it, and it’s extremely refreshing for me to see all the garbage, drunken tattoos I had scribbled all over my leg that I got before I became sober, be covered by sleekness and simplicity.”

Those tattoos meant nothing to me but landmarks in dark times, and I’m so lucky to have the best blackout artist @hoode215 cover them up for me! Now my arm looks so nice and clean, and the portrait of my Father stands out even more.”
