Katherine von Drachenberg, better known as the one and only Kat Von D, is a renowned animal activist and vegan entrepreneur. After shooting to fame on the reality television show “Miami Ink”, Von D opened her own tattoo studio, High Voltage Tattoo. Ever since, her entrepreneurial efforts have been life-savers to animals (quite literally) and for consumers who desire quality vegan products.

Ever heard the stereotypes that tattooed women won’t get jobs, can’t be successful, or that people will have prejudices toward them? Think again; Kat Von D is living (and thriving) proof that dreams do come true regardless of personal choices on physical appearance. Tattoos can make people feel empowered by their bodies, and she rocks her body art!
Von D sets a wholesome and positive example for people everywhere. She shows that wearing makeup, styling different outfits, and expressing yourself is a-okay, in the same sense that being free of makeup, editing, and false enhancements is also brilliant. People needn’t feel obliged to aspire to unrealistic perceptions of beauty.

Kat believes once you go vegan, there ain’t no going back! Certainly, this is a view shared by many and Von D is more than happy to spread awareness.

They say it takes a village to raise a person. Well, it only takes one to inspire a village. In regard to veganism, it’s fair to say Von D has inspired and continues to inspire the equivalent to a large number of villages! Keep up the kindness, Kat!
