Video: Kat von D Got Tattoo of Jesse James' Face Pre-Split
The engagement ring may have been temporary, but the tattoo is forever!
Two days after Kat von D and Jesse James announced their split, new video from von D's L.A. Ink has surfaced -- featuring the tattoo artist getting her then-fiance's likeness inked on her body.
"I'm really nervous about giving you your surprise!" von D, 29, tells James, 41, when he shows up at her High Voltage tattoo shop.
As his love shows him the in-progress ink (replicating his fifth grade school picture), the heavily-tattooed biker James has a quick response: "You're crazy!" Later, though, he eases up, and appreciate's von D's gesture. "I love it -- I love you," he coos.
Von D is relieved to gain his approval. "I thought you were going to tell me you were breaking up with me," she joked when he initially fell silent.

Engaged since January, von D and James first stepped out as a couple in August 2010: making out at a Las Vegas museum exhibit and then holding hands in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Less than a year later, the couple broke off their engagement. "I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I'd like to share. Thanks for respecting that," von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) blogged on Monday.

Tell Us What You Think
34Kat started out as one of the most respected tattoo artist is country now she is a joke! Rule #1, Never get pic or name of significant other of yourself! She has a mural of these pathetic inbreeds!
Kat V is not the bikerhoker bartender that Jesse left Sandra for. They are both tatood up but the other bikerhoker was ulgy and looked methd out. I used to think Kat had a lil since.?
this woman is the reason the word "white trash" was coined, I won't let her into my home never ever, ugh!!! grossssss.
I cannot begin to imagine what goes through Sandrs Bullock's mind when she sees this crap. Who in their right mind would throw over someone like Sandra Bullock for that trash!! Von D is ignorant, stupid, childish, and trashy, all at the same time. It blows the mind. Jesse is one screwed up individual and he needs therapy. Good for Sandra for shaking off this dirtbag.
We are all just looking for love in this world. Who are we to judge?
Two more freaks to add to the bottom of the barrel.
no one needs to be mean to her u crul people
He gave up Sandra Bullock for THAT??????
you are a scum bag beatch. You are a relationship spliter up. You hurt the most liked and loved women of all time and i think you were jelous of the relation ship that him and sandra had and you are a discusting person. The reason i call you a person and not a woman is because a woman has class and you have no class what so ever beatch!!!
that was the most fake act that I have ever seen Kat von D she don't love THIS MAN OLD ENOUGH TO BE HER FATHER and the look on his face is that he finds her discusting.Sad being famous has no real emotions just acting for the cameras.
a small tattoo of ur man or woman is ok but a big one like that, no way!
Wow, I never realized how deep her voice was...Never been a fan of Kat von D though...Best wishes to her and her tattoo... O_o
guess Kat did not follow the usual thinking when it comes to tattoos: no names or likenesses of bf's or gf's cuz it can be over in a minute but ur stuck with it forever...also thought the placement was a little weird....
@Phallentz-It's "chick", not "chic". Two completely different words.
She looks so stupid.....did she really think this was going to last? He couldn't make it work with someone as elegant and sophisticated as Sandra....She is just gross....but stupid always finds stupid.
this chic sounds like a dude
This chic sounds like a dude
Oh, wow. This completely made my day. Such morons. Does this girl always sound so obnoxious? I've never seen her show or heard her speak until now and I can't believe she actually has her own TV show. She sounds like a man, and speaks and acts like a 12 year old. Though, he's pretty much the same so maybe that's what they had in common?
I think it's safe to say that it's no coincidence that two days after announcing their breakup, a video of the two of them on her show (which is starting a day later!!) 'surfaces'. Love L.A. Ink and Kat's work, but this is just silly
ok I disagree with some of the comments. It is the person decision getting the tattoo as to what they want. I have my husbands name on me twice because he has made such a impact on my life. Also TATTOOS are not trashy and you really shouldnt judge people that have them. most of my tattoos are in memory of my only two sons I lost in a car wreck along with my brother. What is Kat so stupid for believeing that there is love out there and just maybe she will find it? You people really need to chill out and dont judge people unless you are ready to be judged!
