Here’s a pretty decent video of Kat Von D talking about her ink. I think it’s interesting that most of her tattoos don’t mean anything to her. The reindeer jumping over barbwire is a perfect example. She goes to a party with friends, lays out a bunch of tattoo pictures on the floor and then they flip quarters and whatever it lands on, you get that tattoo…wow! …and what’s up with getting your spouse’s portrait tattooed on your thigh so you can see it whenever you go pee?
The number 13 is one of the most popular numbers tattooed on people. Here’s why:
It’s a symbol of luck, but also entails misfortune before a greater reward.
An occult symbol of resurrection and re-birth, i.e. christ, anti-christ, lucifer, the phoenix, One, return of the messiah, God’s incarnation in human form, the visiting of the alien-human hybrid that put life on Earth, Jesus
GOOD LUCK LIKE LUCKY 13
The 13th letter of the alphabet is M . In outlaw biker culture a tatt or patch of the #13 usually means drugs as in Meth or Pot. RUBs and the like often say it stands for Motorcycle.
A tattoist gets a number 13 tattooed on them once they’ve been in the business for 13years and its a great mark of respect when a tattoist has earnt the right to wear the number 13. Friday the 13th was origninally the day of good luck not bad luck.
Traditional tattoo symbols have kind of lost their meaning, and a certian symbol can mean almost anything. 13 can mean bad luck, it can be associated with the gang MS-13, or it could just be their lucky number.
Oliver Peck (Kat Von D’s Husband) attempts to break the record for the most tattoos done in a 24 hour period. On Friday the 13th, he did number 13 tattoos for $13 a piece.
