CraveOnline: With the holidays coming up, are there any Thanksgiving traditions you'll be celebrating?
Kat Von D: No, I'm probably going to spend time with my boyfriend and that's pretty much it. You know, my parents split up last year so we don't really hang out as a family anymore. We see each other on an individual basis. This year, I think I'm just going to hang out with my boyfriend, Orbie.

CraveOnline: Is there any place on your body you would not get tattooed?
Kat Von D: I plan on getting a full bodysuit by the time I die. I'll probably just stay away from my chest. I kind of like my boobs the way they are. Sometimes if you get a lot of massive tattoos on your chest, it kind of takes away from it. That's probably the only place I'll stay away from.
CraveOnline: What's the next one you want to get?
Kat Von D: I want to start getting my whole entire back outline. I started with the lettering at the top and now I want to get kind of like my homage toCraveOnline: Would a guy have to have tats to make an impression on you?
Kat Von D: No, I think intelligence and sense of humor makes the biggest impression on me. I think looks honestly, for me, it's like very secondary.CraveOnline: Which tat hurt the most to get?
Kat Von D: I think the crease where my leg meets my ass was the most painful tattoo ever. People confuse that if it's a fatty place, it's not going to hurt as much, but it's more based on your nerves and your nerve setup. Something right there that doesn't see the sun as much, like if it tickles, it's probably going to hurt.CraveOnline: What's the weirdest tattoo you've been asked to do?
Kat Von D: I've done everything from Willy Wonka to a cat humping a bear. I've seen it all.CraveOnline: Have you ever said no to a request?
Kat Von D: Yeah. What I've said no to is stuff that as an artist I don't think I'm good at. I mean, if I think there's somebody better at it, I'll pass it on. Or even if it's against my morals, like something racist. Other than that, I'm pretty much game for anything.CraveOnline: How has your experience in
Kat Von D: It's as different as the east coast versus west coast. It's definitely more positive out here for me because it's just so much more rock n' roll and my friends and family are here. I can go to the Rainbow. I live down the street from Sunset, from where we are now, so I like being in the middle of all of it.
CraveOnline: What's happening on season two?
Kat Von D: Some cool stuff. It's going to be obviously the same premise as the first. You're going to see a lot more musicians that you haven't seen yet. Also this season we're going to introduce a bunch of guest artists from all around the world, everything from Kan Po Japanese style to Polynesian Hawaiian to some different styles across
CraveOnline: Anything that's too crazy for air and might only make it onto a DVD?
Kat Von D: Yeah, well, I don't know. I can't think of what I'm allowed to even talk about. I don't know, there'll be a lot of really good surprises definitely. You won't be let down.CraveOnline: With the holidays coming up, are there any Thanksgiving traditions you'll be celebrating?
