With passion and unflinching honesty, renowned tattoo artist and New York Times bestselling author Kat Von D chronicles her journey to develop greater personal strength by taking bigger risks in life, love, and her art in this stunning illustrated book, now available in paperback
In Go Big or Go Home, Kat Von D writes candidly about her greatest desires, fears, successes, and failures, and shares how she has dealt with them-for better or worse. She addresses issues close to her heart-individuality, strength, creativity, independence, presence, wisdom, and altruism-and draws on engaging and inspiring stories from her own life and those of her clients.
With her focus on risk taking, making bold moves, and taking responsibility for her actions, Kat has created large-scale tattoos especially for this book. Each tattoo represents a two-fold commitment: one from Kat as an artist, and the other from the client, for whom the tattoo almost always represents a significant event or a visible manifestation of his or her evolving inner self.
Filled with Kat's sketches, handwriting, and specially commissioned photographs of tattoos-both in process and complete-Go Big or Go Home features a range of astounding work both on ordinary people and celebrities who seek her out, including songwriter Linda Perry, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, actor Ewan MacGregor, rapper Game, and comedian Bobcat Goldthwait.
