Ink Artist Kat Von D Baptized

       “Ink Artist Kat Von D Baptized, Leaves 
                                                  The Macabre Behind”


“It’s never been clearer, there's a spiritual battle taking place” —Von D.  Kat tossed materials that celebrated witchcraft and the occult: Tarot, books, her favorite dark chapeau.  Trends go, or end in extreme measures.  Sheep roam, following any shepherd.  A spray of paint flies hither and yon from the needle of her ink gun.

Thank you, Malabika! It is what she was and now born again, nothing too unusual.

I'm considering a tattoo, I'm sure it will sting a little. Perhaps this, "Psalm 118:24" etched into ... well, I'm still considering the most strategic place to put it. Excellent I think. Your thoughts?

Innocent child, are you related to the French philosopher, critic, and encyclopedist? I read all 4 of your poems. Implicitly sexual. Are you man or woman? Well, good for you! Yours is a question for Kat & Kat alone. Oui oui ~Lesly Carone
