Has Jesse James found romance again -- with another tattooed woman?

In Las Vegas On Sunday, the motorcycle mogul checked out "BODIES: The Exhibition" at the Luxor Hotel & Casino. His companion: Kat von D, the tattoo artist and star of TLC's L.A. Ink.

The twosome were "holding hands the whole time" during their visit, an eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com -- and more.

The observer says that James, 41, and von D, 28, "shared a passionate kiss" while checking out the "circulatory room" of the exhibit. Says the witness: James "stood behind her and was hugging her from behind."

Von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) evidently had a great time. Before exiting the gift shop, she signed the guest book, writing, "Completely mind-blowing!"

Despite this and other reported sightings of the affectionate pair in Vegas and West Hollywood over the weekend, von D's rep tells Us, "They're just friends -- that's all."

James' five-year marriage to Sandra Bullock famously imploded after his affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, a tattooed stripper, came to light.

Back in May, Kat defended McGee and other tattooed women to Us. "You can't judge a book by its cover," she told Us at a May 1 event in Beverly Hills.  "I think there has always been a negative stigma surrounding tattoos, especially on women," continued the reality star, who recently split from Motley Crue rocker Nikki Sixx.

    Ok, LOL! Several people said on here that Kat Van D is a classy woman, etc., how classy is she when she cheated on her husband? She's a cheater just like Jesse and that's why she went after him. Kat jumped from dating Nikki Six to jumping on Jesse. Damn, could she wait for the STD and HIV results to come back! Kat cheated on her husband with one or more of Steve O's friends. The entire cheating conversation was on posted on internet by Steve O. And she's racist! She wrote an anti-semitic remark to her former boss Ami James from Miami Ink show. She's nuts and jesse's nuts.

    He is abusive and disconnected. He is selfish, gross, and likes seeing people hurt. When he realizes someone else is hurt he turns it into his own personal trauma. She claims people should not be judges by their skin art but that is the only thing that defines her. I mean seriously what exactly does she do for humanity? Pretty silly. Dirt bags binder as Tina Fey would say

    We weren't judging the book by it's cover, Kat. The tatooed ladies in question had been sleeping (to put it nicely) with another womans husband. So much for your "stigma" senario.

    Skanks and white trash, both of them. They deserve each other

  • August 18, 2010 - 7:09pm Patti-Ann

    He is never going to know true love...he cannot be alone...and mostly...he did a huge favor to Sandra...I bet know she realizes even more so that he cant be alone or salvage his soul...as for Kat Von Dee...she's young but has beebn around the block...thought she would do better...be a good friend n help wihtout giving up the "Musink Box"

  • August 18, 2010 - 3:54pm Fay

    They're both white trash so who the **** cares?

  • August 18, 2010 - 3:34pm Gina007

    I don't consider Kat a skank because of her tatoos. He on the other hand is a loser.
