The former star of “LA Ink” is taking her ink and heading to a small town in Indiana due to California’s “tyrannical government,” as Kat Von D called it.
In a Facebook post last week, Von D cited California’s corruption as a reason for her and her son to relocate. “Definitely not ever selling our beautiful home in LA, but with all that’s been taking place in California, with terrible policies, tyrannical government overreach, ridiculous taxing, amongst so much more corruption, we just felt the need to plant roots in a small town where my son can be free to play, and where we can eventually retire one day,” she said.
Kat Von D also clarified that she will not be closing her Los Angeles shop.
