"If you want something. go for it" - I met Kat in 2008!

A Guest Post by Bianca

My name is Bianca, I'm 28 years old and I'm a KvD addict.

I first heard of Kat ca 2005/06 when I came across Miami Ink. I immediately liked her and her tattoo skills.
But then I somehow lost sight of her, mainly because I didn't like the Show that much.
She was back on my radar when her time in Miami ended.
Actually I became quite obsessed with her then (read: collecting every pic on the net, her merch, etc etc).

What do I like about Kat?
Everything! From her looks to her laugh, her attitude, just the entire package.
Actually she led me back to art and tattoos, I'm more into it than ever, I always liked tattoos and such,
but now i really LOVE that stuff, it's something deep.

I certainly don't like every decision she's made but I don't have to, cause it's really none of our business.
She is, however, a huge inspiration for me and everyone to believe in yourself, don't care what others may say and just go for it if you want something.

In 2008 me and  my fiancé went lo L.A. cause we've always wanted to visit the US, but my main reason was Kat and at least to take a look at High Voltage Tattoo.
And it all went well, we had an awesome time, visited the shop and I was lucky enough to meet Kat.
The only unlucky thing was- two days after meeting her, our Nikon got stolen. I was pretty devastated since not only my pix with Kat were gone, but also all other pictures from our USA trip.
Bummer!

In a few weeks I'm gonna get her portrait tattooed on me, so I can take her with me everywhere I go.
That's how much I love her <3

The lucky Bianca met Kat von D at High Voltage Tattoo Shop.

Bianca is going to get tattooed very soon. She's from Germany and I am thankful that she's gonna share her expirience of tattooing Kat von D's portrait here.

You can read her all comments around the blog :)

I know all the tech problems she had during these days and that makes this post even more valuable.

If you liked her post , please send her a nice comment to her profile!

writting together

So Eve is stronger than anyone I met, she had to come back to write with me.

"I don't want anybody feels sorry for me, but feels happy. You are my Hero because you made it"

As I told you, the more you cry the less you pee.  And listening Hans Zimmer meanwhile makes me cry because of the music. I don't cry for you no more because I got you for one hour more.
You are in my heart.
Thank you for blessing me.

You are the only one that knows who I am in the blogosphere.

In loving memory of Eve Davenport

I'm typing in black today.

It's a metaphoric way to use black ink to tattoo Eve's name is this blog forever. Is it possible to make an "e-tattoo"? Maybe it's the first one..

I feel blessed being an instrument that helped her to make her last wish happened.
We both know secrets from each other. I know what she specially bought for Kat and she knows my secret plans for the blog.

Eve Davenport ain't going to hold Tattoo Chronicles in her hands neither tweet me back again. Eve's heart has shut down completly tonight.

I'll always remember her strenght and her big smile.
She has all my love and admiration.

This site is entirely dedicated from this moment to Eve and her loving parents. Also, to every single person that took care of her: doctors, nursers, councillors and other patients she related.

I'd like to thank all the people that googled Eve's name to read her guest post.

If you'd like to send loving messages to her family, her Twitter is already working. 

PS: OMG Her heart reacted! She's alive! 

Eve's mom said: - I read it out to her and just before the doctors told me she was dead her heart had a beat again!  I want to thank everyone for reading eves blog especially kat. Shes being strong and fighting, which all of us believe she'll make it ....
And a special thankyou from my heart to you because the post you wrote such a thoughtful post i read it to her and just before the doctors told me she was going to die in the next few minutes her heart started to beat again. Even though it was very weak she fought through it . Eve has spoken. Eve told me she was going to die in the next few minutes her heart started to beat again. Even though it was very weak she fought through it.

"The best gift anyone can give to me is my life back " Eve Davenport.

And right now 4.00 pm, Eve is writting to me. I've  never been happier of being wrong.
