KAT VON D On SIXX: 'We Have A Similar Lifestyle So It's Easy For Us To Understand Each Other'

July 23, 2008

Tattoo artist Kat Von D — the star of the TLC reality series "L.A. Ink" and MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx's current girlfriend — was recently interviewed by PR.com. An excerpt from the chat follows.

PR.com: How did you meet Nikki Sixx?

Kat Von D: I met him through a mutual friend, Scott Ian, from ANTHRAX. His girlfriend is Pearl Aday. I had been going through a divorce. A little over a year ago I separated from my husband, and Nikki had just separated from his ex-wife (former "Baywatch" actress Donna D'Errico) a year prior to that. So [Pearl] was like, "I really think you guys would be a great match." I'm like, "Well… we both have baggage (laughs). I don't think it's a good idea." They tried to set us up on a blind date, and I am not into blind dates. So, we actually just became friends, and it was great. [Then] Nikki and I connected and it was totally unexpected. To this day I always thank Scott and Pearl for trying to hook us up and for actually introducing us.

PR.com: What do a rock musician and a tattoo artist do for fun, as a couple?

Kat Von D: We're totally big nerds (laughs)! Sometimes I lay in bed with him and we do something totally geeky and I'm like, "Oh my God, if people knew." But, I think that we have a similar lifestyle so it's easy for us to understand each other. He's on tour right now and it totally sucks not seeing each other, but it puts me on the other side of the fence. Every relationship I've had, I've always been the one traveling and flying here for this or that. Now it's blown up so much with having the TV show, so we understand each other and it makes for a good relationship.

Kat Von D spoke about a number of topics, including her relationship with Nikki Sixx, during an appearance on yesterday's (July 22) edition of "Good Day L.A." on the KTTV (Fox 11) TV station in Los Angeles. Watch the segment below.
