Kat Von D: Life Holds New Meaning When You're in Love

By Amber James Posted Sep 3rd 2010 02:12PM

Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D is done hiding her feelings about her love life. In a new magazine ad to promote her fragrance Adora, Von D -- looking classy and elegant -- addresses her outlook on love: "Life holds new meaning when you're in love."

The phrase itself holds new meaning considering her love connection with Sandra Bullock's ex-husband, Jesse James. The 'L.A. Ink' star was photographed kissing and holding hands with James this weekend in Texas, where the West Coast Choppers owner recently relocated his business and family. On Thursday, she confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair are "in love" and that James is "the One."

Von D shot the 'Adora' promo photos a few months ago in New York City and later blogged about the whole experience, revealing she's not quite the bad-a** she portrays on TV. "My goal was to just do my best and ignore whatever self-consciousness loomed over me," she wrote.

"I came to the conclusion that if I wanted these pictures to convey a certain realness I had to let go of a lot of my self criticism, relax, and enjoy the process. This is much harder for me than it sounds. Instead of trying to project an attitude or an image that I thought others would want to see, I just had to be myself."

Adora is not Von D's first foray into the world of fragrance. Last year, she released her Sinner and Saint perfume line.

Honey, you're young...you just hooked up with this man...take it slow.

By me

The funny thing is that these photos were taken in July( right?). So that quote refers to Nikki Sixx.

By Derrick

Such nonsense!!!! And people believe this "love" crap? She is a jerk and Jesse a bigger jerk...they belong together

Kat know's who Jesse is she is not stupid. You never know, she is probably the one he could spend the rest of his life with, she is a real person, not a fake in public like Sandra the dork.

Kat is 100% caught-up the the "Big Celebrity Bubble" and loves all the attention. Her & Jesse, give me a break it will not last. Who's the next DUDE for DUDE KAT?

By Roni

Kat's always in love with someone. I guess just one of those people that needs to be in love.

By Mark

Anything Kat Von D DOES is sexy...............

By chasely

Honestly, I use to like Kat Von D but I just think she's so full of herself now. Her ego seems to get the best of her, and I agree with Derrick. They belong together. Two people I have no respect for.

By Ruth

Is there room left for Jesse's name and face somewhere on Kat's body?

By just saying

Kat, remember that Michelle states that he is a "white gorilla".

By Tinker

In the Sept 2nd photo ...Kat looks like she has a baby bump?
Maybe that is why she is so in love?

By Kathy

Kat Von D has a perfume? Why would anyone want to smell like her? She looks like trash.
(And no, not because of the tattoos. She looks and acts like a smelly, stuck up brat)

PS.......KAT...YOU WILL NEVER MATCH UP TO SANDRA, AND YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE THIS IN JESSE EYES!!!!!!!!!!

By Tex

She's gross.

hes an idiot you know i was starting to actually think this guy had some morals but to have a new relationship already and flaunt it and for her to say how in love they are makes me rethink it! his divorce just became final and less than 2 months ago hes crying about blowing it with sandra! the guy is a tool and shes an idiot to fall for it !!

I like her despite what some people say about her, she is an artist. I think artists tend to be sensitive types so I cant imagine they will last long. I hope she realizes it sooner than later.

Trash attracts Trash......
