Tattoo artist Kat Von D, who was recently baptized after returning to the Christian faith, revealed that she and her family are currently living in an Indiana parsonage. During the pandemic, Von D left California, seeking a town in the “middle of nowhere.”

Von D talked about her new community and church on a recent episode of comedian Theo Von’s podcast “This Past Weekend.” The tattoo artist and TV star, whose parents were Seventh-day Adventist missionaries in Mexico, shared details of her upbringing. She also discussed her sobriety, facing criticism from other Christians, and homeschooling her son.
Kat Von D on the Benefits of a Small Church
Kat Von D, 41, is a member of Switzerland Baptist Church, where she attends Bible studies and relishes the small church environment. When people are absent, they’re missed, she said, adding that she genuinely misses her church family when she travels back to Los Angeles for work. “I’ve never really had that before,” she said, noting that she is estranged from several family members.
Von D said she still gets teary-eyed seeing the video of her baptism. She described making her way back to Christianity in the past five years and having a different understanding of it than when she was a child. Her desire to learn, coupled with 17 years of sobriety, have led her in the direction of growing her faith. “It’s such an intimate and personal thing,” she said. “My relationship with God is my own and…I’ve never really felt like I belonged anywhere.”
Going public with her faith put her under a microscope, Von D said. “I get criticized from all sides now, which I don’t care because at the end of the day…my relationship’s with God, not you.” The tattoo artist, who dresses in black, said people seem to be “close-minded” about her appearance.

“I get called demonic a lot, or ‘you’re serving two masters,’” she said. “There’s no dress code to be a Christian…I thought I was going to get hate from my existing fans [but] they’ve been super loving and open-minded…It’s been the other side that I was just so surprised [about],” she said, referencing criticism from fellow believers.

Kat Von D, who used to be a “big-time drug user,” said quitting cigarettes has been her biggest challenge. When her son, now 5, caught her smoking one day and asked what the smell was, she said, “I just felt like such a loser. I was like, I can’t be that mom.”
Von D, who moved from California partly due to the state’s governmental restrictions, is homeschooling her son. “Indiana is very supportive to homeschool families,” she said. “The less government the better.”
