- Kat Von D revealed on Tuesday she was baptized in her local Indiana church.
- More than a year prior, she renounced witchcraft and the macabre on Instagram.
More than a year after renouncing witchcraft and the macabre, Kat Von D has been baptized.
The controversial tattoo artist and fashion designer posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday that showed her and her family partaking in their local Indiana church service.
Von D could be seen singing with the choir, sitting in a pew, and, at the end of the short clip, being baptized.
"Katherine von Drachenberg, upon your profession of faith in 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. Amen," a priest said before lowering Von D into a pool of water.
Von D has shared photos of her family attending church on a few occasions since moving to Indiana in late 2021. She also said in July 2022 she was throwing out her belongings that related to the occult.
"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," Von D wrote in an Instagram post at the time. "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."
She continued: "I've always found beauty in the macabre, but at this point, I just had to ask myself what is my 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."
The former makeup mogul also said she didn't want her post to seem critical of people who enjoy those topics despite her feelings about them.
"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," she added.
Von D's spiritual evolution and baptism are examples of the many major life changes she's made in recent years.
She bought an Indiana home before the end of 2020, citing her eventual move as an escape from California's high taxes, "terrible policies," and "tyrannical government." She also closed her famous studio High Voltage Tattoo — which was featured in her TLC series "LA Ink" — as part of her relocation.
The mom of one has also covered many of her signature tattoos with solid black ink, saying on Instagram that it'd been "extremely refreshing" to see "all the garbage, drunken tattoos" she'd gotten before becoming sober "covered by sleekness and simplicity."
Von D did not respond to a request for comment.
