Lord help us! Former celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D is now devoting her life to Jesus Christ. The one-time TV star revealed on Instagram that she recently got baptized. On Tuesday, Oct. 3, the “LA Ink” alum shared a video depicting the baptism, which was witnessed by her friends and rocker husband, Leafar Seyer, who also goes by the name of his music group, Prayers.
“Katherine von Drachenberg, upon your profession of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in obedience to his divine command, I baptize you, my sister, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,” the pastor says in the video before dunking Kat in holy water.
The religious ceremony is probably something Kat wouldn’t have envisioned just a few years ago.

The baptism comes a little over a year after Kat Von D denounced witchcraft, which she previously practiced.
“I don’t know if any of you have been going through changes in your lives right now, but in the last few years I’ve come to some pretty meaningful realizations — many of them revolving around the fact that I got a lot of things wrong in my past,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of books — most of them about witchcraft — that she was getting rid of. “Today, I went through my entire library, and threw out books that just don’t align with who I am and who I want to be.”
The reality TV tattoo artist-turned-makeup mogul said she’s “always found beauty in the macabre” but said she no longer had a “relationship” with this content.
“And the truth is, I just don’t want to invite any of these things into our family’s lives, even if it comes disguised in beautiful covers, collecting dust on my shelves,” she said. “In no way is this post designed to put anyone down if you’re into this stuff, because I think we are all on our own journey, and I love everyone regardless of where they might be at. But right now, it’s never been more clear to me that there is a spiritual battle taking place, and I want to surround myself and my family with love and light.”
Kat ended her message by sharing her hope that her followers were also “making meaningful changes” in their lives.

After Kat Von D was baptized, her husband, Prayers, publicly praised his wife.
“I love you so much my beautiful wife, you continue to inspire me every day. I want to marry you over and over again!” he commented on her Instagram post.
The “LA Ink” star married her musician hubby in 2018. “Today, I married my soul’s mate, my mind’s twin, my best friend,” she captioned a photo of their wedding bands on their inked-up hands, adding in Spanish, “Together in life and in death.”

Kat Von D has made several major changes in her life over the past five years. Not only has she married, welcomed a child, covered up many of her tattoos and gotten baptized, but she also moved from Los Angeles to a remote town in Indiana. At the time of the move in 2020, the reality TV star said she was leaving the Golden State due to “all that has been taking place in California, with terrible policies, tyrannical government overreach, ridiculous taxing.”
“Amongst so many more corruption, we just felt the need to plant roots in a small town where there is nature, where my son can be free to play, and where we can eventually retire one day,” she explained at the time.

In March 2023, Kat Von D sold her famous Los Angeles house. The picture-perfect home, which was featured in 2003’s “Cheaper by the Dozen,” sold for $7.75 million. The massive 12,565-square-foot property was actually built in the 1890s and moved to its current location in Los Angeles in 1915.
The home had been on the market for over a year before new owners took over.
Just one month after the former reality TV star listed the home, it was burglarized while she and her son, then 3, slept inside.
In February 2022, TMZ reported that strange sounds woke Kat at 10:15 p.m. She then saw a “beam of light moving about the house.” Kat grabbed her son, got out of the home and called 911. When police arrived, they found a man just wandering around the house. He reportedly told police he was buying the house and needed to use the restroom. He was not the buyer. The man who eventually bought the home is the co-owner of the famed Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
