VEVAY, IN — A celebrity tattoo artist, reality TV star, and pinup girl is permanently moving to Southeastern Indiana.

“LA Ink” star Kat Von D is closing her shop in Hollywood by the end of the year and relocating to Vevay.

She bought the historic Benjamin Schenk mansion last December.

Kat Von D, whose real name is Katherine von Drachenberg, posted on Instagram earlier this week that she and her family feel more at home in the Hoosier State.

She plans to eventually open a tattoo shop when she gets settled in Switzerland County.
