Kat Von D has a tattoo of her mother, Sylvia Galeano, on her left shoulder. She and her mom have always been close and have attended events together. The LA Ink star took to her Instagram and uploaded a photo of them posing together during the Latina awards, as per the caption.

Kat Von D can be very sentimental. She got a tattoo of Los Angeles — also located on her left shoulder, but more toward the front side of her body. The ink paid tribute to where she got her first job. Despite being born in Mexico and living in Loma Linda, California in her early years, the beauty guru has always adored the City of Angels over other cities.

She has an "LTP” tattoo on three fingers on one of her hands, which means "loyal to profession." The Finnish Gothic band HIM probably inspired the heartagram tats on her fingers. The symbol combines a heart and a pentagram. Meanwhile, the "TLA" tat (seen via Instagram) on one of her fingers means "true love always." The artist adores hearts, and she had another one tattooed on her hand by ex-husband Oliver Peck. The spider tattoo on her index finger symbolizes female power, strength, courage, balance, and danger. In addition, Kat Von D's love for music made her decide to get a tattoo of Ludwig Van Beethoven's initials and portrait (via Body Art Guru).
