Fellow Vegans Moby And Kat Von D Both Got New Tattoos

November 12, 2019 / Posted by:

In case you somehow missed it before, Moby is vegan. And he’s not one of those rare live and let live, keep it to yourself type of vegans either. No, Moby is a shout it from the rooftops, try to restrict the choices of people on SNAP (food stamps) type of vegans. Thing is, sometimes Moby’s mouth to is too full of bean sprouts and cashew cheese to tell you all about it. So he’s taken measures to ensure that when you see Moby walking towards you down the street, you know well in advance to protect your low-fat latte before he passes you and slaps it out of your hand. Moby got the word A N I M A L tattooed down one arm, and R I G H T S tattooed down the other, in a font so big you can probably see it from space.

Here’s Moby’s new ink.

Hey, I know it’s a lot, but at least it doesn’t read I REALLY DID FUCK on one arm and NATALIE PORTMAN on the other. Last month, Moby got another tattoo telegraphing his diet.

His poor little neck is already doing so much work. This just seems cruel. But as John Legend famously once said; his body, his choice! But where is the art? He looks like a generic brand box that reads VEGAN CEREAL. However, fellow strident vegan Kat Von D is positively green. She also got a new tattoo but if there’s a message about not eating animal products in there, you’re gonna need x-ray specs to read it. KVD got a coverup on her arm in the style of a blackout tattoo.

Now, for someone with such a rebel heart, KVD sure does put a lot of stock in what people think about her. Apparently, some people criticized her blackout tattoo, and instead of ignoring them like any legitimate self-respecting badass goth princess would, she got mad and posted many, many words explaining her choice.

Having been in the tattoo industry for the greater part of my life, I’ve seen countless tattoos of all types of styles — but NEVER have I felt inspired to tell anyone “that’s ugly” or “you’re stupid.” Tattoos are funny in the sense that ultimately it is one of the most intimately personal things we can do for ourselves. But even though tattoos are an outward expression, they really aren’t for anyone else other than the person wearing it. With that being said, I do love sharing and giving the world a window into aspects of my life — especially when it involves something/someone that inspires me. But just because I choose to share my experiences, it shouldn’t be an invitation for such negativity. Yes, I did decide to black out a large portion of old, crappy tattoos on my arm that I posted yesterday, and regardless of what people might think about it, I absolutely LOVE how simple and clean it looks now. So, to respond to a lot of the noise that clogged up my comment section in my last post: •No, it doesn’t matter that you don’t like the way my arm looks. To each their own. •No, this isn’t bad for my health [but thank you for caring!] When done correctly, tattoos don’t penetrate passed the second dermis layer of skin. During the healing process, our skin naturally filters out any excess pigment through our pores. And no, there is no lead, plastics, toxins in the professional-grade tattoo pigments that we use. Nowadays you can even find vegan-friendly pigments that works just as well, too. •No, this isn’t a lazy attempt at a coverup. It actually takes an extremely skilled artist that specializes in blacking out tattoos. •Before you label something “ugly” or “horrible” try to remember that beauty is subjective. Your idea of a dream tattoo, might be someone else’s idea of a nightmare. Last thing: Swipe through to see some inspiring black work tattoos by @hoode215. Even if it’s something you would never get, there’s no denying the simplistic esthetic to this style of tattooing really is beautiful in its own way. Lotsa Love. X

This must be what they call vegan synergy, because now Moby knows who to go to when the time comes to black out his arm pieces should some rude animal ever question his activism as he described it in his memoir.
