NEW EPISODES of LA INK START:
THURSDAY, October 9
10PM on TLC
from Kat Von D's blog
Dave Navarro Is getting tattooed on the first new episode - and whether you're a fan or not, I must say that this tattoo was pretty F*CKING INTENSE!
I had no clue how beautiful his mother was - she was a model/actress back in the day - BUT what I also didn't know, was how tragically she was murdered ...
Dave had mentioned to me on several occasions how he wanted to get this tattoo for his mom - and when the day finally came, I was completely blown away on his story and my perception of Dave was totally changed... I cannot wait to share this moment with you guys, if you get a chance to catch this episode.
did you catch the show tvrec?anyone see the show?
I did,for some reason it kind of bored me.....
I guess I was hoping the whole show was going to be about Dave lol
Awesome tat though!!
Daves mom was Beautiful!!!!
I was thinking about what a connection Perry and Dave must have with both loosing their moms at such an eairly age and so tragically.I read somewhere, that before they would play "then she did" Dave would tell perry "this is for our moms"
Dave tweeted a link to a Billboard.com piece on this tattoo the other day.

Kat Von D: "I tattooed this portrait of his mom actually on his ribs. I've known Dave for quite some time and he's always been a nice guy. His mom was murdered when he was 15 years old by one of her ex-boyfriends. She was beautiful actress/model from back in the day and her death really caused a lot of mental issues for Dave. He's pretty open about it. He really tried to channel a lot of that negative energy into his music and it's a big part of who he is today. For me, I felt like we became a lot closer after that tattoo. It's nuts, but they caught the killer on 'America's Most Wanted.'"
