Kat Von D is Blacking Out All of Her Tattoos 

Lolll 100 percent guaranteed some of the best jokes came up in this conversation mankind will never hear because Theo was internally dodging them like the matrix for the sake of being a gentleman 😂😂

The next logical step in this progression is to start having white ink tattoos over the black out. After that, they will white out all the white tattoos. I skipped all those preliminary steps and went strait to the end game by never getting any tattoos

her nurses in 40 years trying to find a vein:

Theos closing words: “I would hate to be a stripper. I’d be soo bad at it.” 😂🤣

She’s addicted to the process.

So, she did what everyone was doing, calls it boring, and follows the next biggest tattoo trend. Ok 😂

His face when he said "I think it looks nice." 😂

Theo is a real gentleman around her and puts her at ease. I'd love to develop that skill.

All that ink is super absorbant of heat and UV I imagine.. I live in Australia and this looks like a huge liability for anyone with fair skin 😂

I had no clue Kat got turned into a vampire. I hope it’s working out for her 😂

With all due respect, tattoos can be a serious addiction for some people and we need to start talking openly about that with compassion.

I have many tattoos myself, so I'm not just some dude tossing out bullshit opinions here. That being said, I believe that "blacking-out" is a mental condition that occurs as a result of tattoo addiction. I believe that blacking out is the point that is reached after a person either runs out of ideas or space on their body. There is nothing left to do, but the mind craves more. Tattooing, like anything else, can also become an addition. So, imagine being an addict who can't get a fix. Blacking out is simply a tattoo addict's way of getting a fix after they've run out of space or ideas. Now, here's the real question.....Where do these people go from here? One day, Kat Von D is going to stare at herself in a mirror and realize that her ink journey is over. However, mentally, she might not be ready for her journey to be over. She will still be desiring more ink with no way of getting it. She'll be like an alcoholic who only has access to a photo of vodka. The scary part is that her "tattoo sobriety" or the "cold turkey" might also force her into a healthy mental state. But, it will be a healthy state that could come with tremendous regret over blacking out her skin. It is possible that she could realize that blacking out her skin was only done because of her addiction. Hopefully, this doesn't happen to her.

When I was a kid I used to "black out" my drawings on paper after i messed up and didnt like my drawing. I was never dumb enough to draw on myself with needles thou

I like how when something controversial comes up everyone’s a phycologists or doctor.

I think it looks cool. I especially like the use of the negative space “peek-throughs”.

I cant decide which is worse, being covered in stupid tattoos, or looking like you got into a fight with a printer 😂

It’s kind of like when you have a blacked out piece of paper and colors underneath, then you scratch off the black while you draw a picture in it. Revealing an awesome piece of Artwork. That’s what it reminds me of with her leaving certain ones they are.

This is sad. It’s like she’s ashamed of her old self. I get she’s a different person now but she should be proud of her journey that got her to this point. She had beautiful art on her skin. I think doing this to her body is extreme, and kinda like a cry for help.

However she chooses to cleanse herself of the demons it is her struggle and I respect why she has done this.

You can literally see Theo's man brain trying to calculate the remaining 20% that's not getting tattooed but then scared to ask. lol We understand, we're wondering too!

She's doing this because she's too cool for tattoos??

Now she'll get bored of the blackouts and start retattooing in white and bright color ink. Then black out again. Sounds like an awesome way to constantly change your tattoos!

Wow. Did not think I'd ever see a challenger with kvd! What a crossover I never knew I needed! ❤

Blacking out turns what looks like a toddlers scribble book into a minimalistic piece of art, I really like it

Your immune system called… said it’s overwhelmed. Tattoos are now being linked to autoimmune issues.

This is extreme. She goes from one extreme to another.

WHAT??? I HAVE NO WORDS. SUCH BEAUTIFUL ART TO BE COVERED 😢

I have never regretted my one and only tattoo I got at 18 (it has a lot of meaning for me), I am 41 and I am still in great shape and it doesn’t look weird or distorted. Depends on how much you do and if you let yourself go. They dont look bad if you dont get fat and don’t tattoo stupid crap on your body.

Blackout is becoming more and more popular. there is a guy in Canada who got it done ,but he has also tattooes over it with more designs, and you can create new colours from tattooing on top

My sensei always warned us against getting marked in any way.

Oh my gosh Theo I’m a FARMER and a STRIPPER.. 😂

I think what she is doing is so cool. It is very unique.

Love it, especially where it blends into the other tattoos and the skin breaks. Not for everyone like everything else in the world.

5000 pound woman "interesting" this is the result of rejection and your dad not hugging you and your uncle hugging you way to much and never being happy.

Where my nicars @ ?!? Theo be walking on eggshells in this interview. U can tell he’s having a hard time spitting out his normal lingo that u know is popping up in his head. What a gentleman

Sorry if dumb question but isn’t that bad for your body? Vitamin D sun thing? Then any chance of ink getting into your system?

People are very confused why a grown woman would keep drawing on herself....and then decides she doesnt like it 🤦‍♀️

How is this okay and not blackface

Imagine winning the DNA lottery and then destroying your body with ink. Boggles the mind!

I don't get blacking out tattoos. I have several ones and I wouldn't dream about blacking them out. It's such a weird phase in tattooing right now with folks blacking themselves out.

This makes face tattoos look nice

She's going to have to wear a Tyvek suit in the summer.

🤢🤮

Congrats to Theo for playing this like a gentleman & trying to be respectful.

Imagine how many "blackface" or "black-body" jokes Theo had to hold in?

“I have hairless cats.” Of course she does.

Theo acting very weird and uncomfortable is hilarious 😂

One thing that always stopped me from getting any tattoos was that there was nothing I could envision myself having tattooed and not cringing at it 10-20 years down the road.

So her tattoos remind her of being attributed to conformity and that's not what she ever wanted. At 44 and having no tattoos myself, I feel like it's the same as blacking out your body. Everyone has them now.

Kat volunteered at the california wildlife center while I worked there. She donated money, filmed a bit but even afterwards with no cameras rolling she helped me clean elephant seal and sea lion poo. I even got to introduce her to chipotle. She’s a seriously genuine kind human, 100%.

What is the purpose of blacking them out? Wouldn’t it be better to have them removed?

“Your whole body’s gonna be in dark ink?” 😂 the way he avoided saying black….. 😂

As a former tattooist, tattoos are synonymous with regret, they go hand in hand. Be very mindful with what you tattoo on your body because you are going to change a lot. A lot of these "influences" are influencing people with bad ideas. Also, if your tattooist doesn't want to tattoo your piece how you want it and tries to get you to change your mind, walk out and find another tattooist that will tattoo it how you want. You have to live with it on your body, not them.

The whole blackout tattoo trend is ridiculous

I’m getting rid of all my tattoos…. And proceeds to TATTOO her entire body…🙄 Irony……

Her immune system must love it

Lol he really said she looks like a hairless cat

There's a difference between trying to be different and being yourself.

You never go full blackface.

Theo was dodging the temptation to say something so badly ,he looked like he was ready to blow up!😂

This is the dumbest tattoo trend.

The way Theo is reacting to her is very reminiscent of the way I react to crazy ass tinder dates I’m just trying to clap.

🤔 imagine tattooing your whole body, just to cover it all up in black 😐

This is called making a bad decision worse 😢

Poor Theo was so flustered this whole interview 😂 I couldn't tell if he was really into her looks or not at all lmao

Theo: It's fascinating. It's like.., it's like something Kat: Theo: I don't what it is.

I think she just likes attention for looking different. Cuz she said “now tattoos are boring everyone has one” but not everyone has their whole body blacked out by ink. So that’s the next extreme. Logically it would make more sense to just remove the ones you don’t like or start over but not black out your body

That's some form of mental illness manifesting itself through tattoos right there

That looks horrible.

So She’s basically blacking out all her tattoos to be different because everyone has tattoos now. However it’s catching on and pretty soon millions of idiots will be doing this and she’ll need to think of something else to stand out 😂

Meanwhile me here happy with 0 regrets over my 0 tattoos 😅

Paying for your mistakes is sometimes very difficult. Having the courage to pay for them Is something all together different. Kudos to her.

Theos jaw clenching up when he was talking bout not taking drugs.

I never got the "I go tattoos to piss people off / be a rebel" reasoning. The defining reason behind Kat Von D's tattoos, according to her, is determined by what other people think and feel? Quite sad, if you ask me.

It’s going to look EXACTLY like a weird scuba diving suit luv. 😢

Another reminder of tattoos from the best artist, it's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

Hmmmm this look is awful especially as it fades. Cos tattoos fade 😮😮😮😮

So she's removing her tattoos by getting more tattoos 🤔

I’m so glad I never got tattoos and this affirms my decision.

Poor thing. She is always in a state of identity crisis.

Crazy to get that many tats and just as crazy to black it out. Crazy

She may live to regret this decision

I appreciate her doing this. It convinced my daughter that tattoos aren't a good fashion choice due to the possibility of being infinitely regrettable and problematic.

It's not going to look like a scuba diving suit...ummmm okay. So my eyes are mistaken...

No, it does not look good at all. It looks horrible.

I find this interview VERY fascinating. Kat's recent religious transition and realization about her old vs new path in life is relatable - But her past makes the change very much different. Then you combine Theo's unique perspective and inquisitive thought process (with the comedic background) was interesting to watch him navigate his way through this interview without being too funny or potentially hurt Kat's feelings in any way. Seeing Theo like this made him even more likeable to me as I am a huge fan of his comedy and Podcast.

Damn I clicked on this video to see why she would do that and to find out it’s to make other people mad is really sad. She wants ALL of the attention. Not to mention she uses numbing cream. Pretty depressing stuff

Tell me you're completely insane without telling me you're completely insane

Getting more tattoos is a weird way of saying you're getting rid of your tattoos

Now it is much cooler not to have any tattoos at all. It's the vicious swing of the pendulum of style and conformity.

I learned that white blood cells help hold tattoos "in place" and surround the ink to help "contain" it. I wonder how this is going to work for her full color endeavor.

Whaasup granny dark arms? Talk about wearing your regret. Man are we board.

Why wouldn't she just get them removed if she didn't like her tats anymore, instead of wasting more money on more ink?😅

This is just INSANE...why would someone do this to themselves....

This is someone who doesn’t think about things in the long term….

1:53 “it’s like that car, it’s carv, I don’t know what it is…”

Something is seriously wrong with her mentally ! To bad she deals with it like this .

I prefer my white girls to be white, I'm wierd like that

The contrast of her glowingly white face and the black out ink is spectacular. Very striking.

Literally blacking them out because they’re too “mainstream” 🙄 she got them “before they were cool” now it’s boring cause it’s common? Literally doing or not doing things specifically because it’s cool or not. Annoying af. What you gonna do when black out becomes the mainstream thing? 😂
