Summary

Hi, I’m Kat Von D, and here’s a glimpse of my story. Raised by missionary parents in Mexico, I grew up knowing about God but strayed in my teens. I ran away from home young, fell into heavy drinking, and explored new age ideas trying to fill the emptiness I felt. Though I built a successful career in tattooing and found fame through shows like ‘Miami Ink’ and ‘LA Ink,’ I still sensed there was something missing. Eventually, my husband helped prompt me to reevaluate so many assumptions I held, including my spiritual beliefs. Delving into scripture and seeing the historical evidence for Jesus revealed that everything I was truly seeking could be found in Him. After letting go of old crutches—like my occult and meditation books—I experienced real transformation inside. I publicly declared this change by getting baptized, and while my style may be the same on the outside, my heart and priorities are forever changed by Christ. I’m more at peace in my marriage, motherhood, and day-to-day life than ever before. I’m grateful for God’s grace that welcomed me back, and I hope my story encourages anyone who’s still searching that true hope and wholeness can be found in Jesus.

—————– Original Video ————————

Today we’re joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows “Miami Ink” and “LA Ink” and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she’s gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or “Christian culture.” Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did?
