This is some really cool and historic footage. In 2008, Lady Gaga visited Kat Von D’s LA Ink for some elaborate lower back art.

Gaga received a tattoo from Kat and talks about working with New Kids On The Block. This episode was filmed before Gaga was a huge pop star.

Kat Von D has Epic Jesse James-Related Meltdown

Apparently tattoo goddess Kat Von D is still really, really unhappy about her breakup with Jesse James. So upset, in fact, that she’s harassing producers of her TLC show LA Ink to remove him from all upcoming episodes!

TMZ is reporting that Kat threw something of a hissy fit after watching some screeners of upcoming episodes, which seem to cast a spotlight on her rocky romantic endeavors of late. In an effort to appease their testy star, the show’s producers are scrambling to remove any shred of evidence that Jesse James ever crossed Kat’s threshold.

Ah, yes. But remember how, for the few weeks they were dating, Kat and Jesse were practically attached at the facehole? Here’s where the crew runs into a problem: there’s just not enough footage of Kat ridin’ solo to fill out a full episode. Which means more commercials on the horizon for LA Ink fans!

Well really Kat, what did you expect? Did you really think this vile scumsucking alleged neo-Nazi would be the man of your dreams? The man cheated on Sandra Bullock. Have you seen Miss Congeniality?! It was movie gold. You don’t cheat on a lady like that.

We’re sure TV viewers would gladly endure a few extra commercials if it meant Jesse James were to become permanently castrated. Make it happen, TLC! We’re sure Kat’s going to ask for that next anyway.

Kat Von D, star of LA Ink, told PEOPLE that despite Jesse James’ personal life struggles, she never thought twice about falling in love with him.

The tattoo-clad Von D was accompanied by James to the opening of her Wonderland gallery in Hollywood Thursday night and talked about her feelings for James and how she fell in love.

“Jesse is only my ninth boyfriend. I don’t hang out with anybody unless I am in love,” she said. Also, commenting on when she knew she had found love, Von D said, “Was it when we were playing Scrabble? I don’t remember. But it was something like that – when we both realized how nerdy we were.”

When she was asked if Jesse James could be ‘The One’, she responded by saying, “I believe he is, so yeah.”

All we can say is that hopefully Jesse has learned from his past mistakes.

Kat Von D Needs Your Body To Ink For World Record

Fans of “L.A. Ink” host Kat Von D will have the opportunity to be tattooed by the sex symbol herself, as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for most tattoos done in a 24-hour period by one person.

On Friday, December 14, at L.A. Ink headquarters (1259 N. La Brea Ave) in West Hollywood, Von D will try to ink 400 people with a small tattoo of the letters LA.

Those willing to donate their flesh for Von D’s quest must bring ID to prove they are 18, and can tattoo any part of their body they choose. There is also a charge of $20 to cover costs. They will also only be able to get a little bit of face time with her, as each tat is expected to take 2-3 minutes.

Von D can take breaks whenever she likes, but the clock will continue on through. The attempt will be filmed and aired in “L.A. Ink’s” second season.
