Kat Von D has been experimenting with her look a lot in the past year. She's not only transitioned from brunette to blonde and back again, but also tried out some new designer duds, including a very daring bold-striped suit by Alexander McQueen.

Now, fresh off a stint with bright fuschia hair, it looks like the celebrity tattoo artist is returning to her jet black roots. She was spotted shopping at Los Angeles' Grove shopping center in an all-black ensemble to match her latest dye job, with her impressive plethora of tattoos on display. What hair color works best on Kat? What color would you like to see her try?

Tattoo artist and TV reality celebrity Kat Von D has released her third fragrance following up on Saint and Sinner last year. It's called Adora and is accompanied by a limited-edition makeup collection comprising True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Adora and Adora Painted Love Lipstick. The colors look a bit dangerous, especially in the eyeshadow pan, and feel like they would be great for Halloween (I know it's a bit early to think about that but that's what came to my mind gazing at the vampy, if not vampirish tints.

It looks like Lo Bosworth may have picked up the same love for boxing that her bestie Lauren Conrad has. Lo showed off her skills with the gloves at the first "Muscle Milk Light" women's fitness retreat. Besides boxing, the reality star also practiced some yoga.

It makes sense that Kat Von D, the star of L.A. Ink, is obsessed with the black cat-eye liner and bold red lips of retro pin-up girls, considering she has a few of them tattooed on her own arms and legs.

But Von D also has lots of practice with makeup of the non-ink variety.  "When I was in second or third grade, I found a black liquid eyeliner in a public bathroom,".

She told me this week when I caught up with her at a photo shoot for Sephora. "I just had to put it on...gross, I know."

These days, she still layers on the black liquid liner, but thankfully it's her own. (No, literally her own—it's the Tattoo Liner from Kat Von D for Sephora.)

Known for never being caught without a full face of makeup a real coup on reality TV Von D says it takes her 45 minutes to apply her smoky eyes, artfully arches brows, and blood red lips.

She's actually a bona fide lipstick junkie, always on the hunt for the perfect red shade. "I'm kind of OCD about it I try every brand, and then.

The fire-haired celeb wore a blue and red-striped spandex suit that showed a little bit of cleavage and a little bit of her tattoos.

"I think there has always been a negative stigma surrounding tattoos, especially on women," continued Von D, 28. "But to me, it is all about how you carry yourself, and some people carry it differently, I guess.

Onlookers at the Nylon magazine party at Trousdale Wednesday night say the married to Missy Rothstein Bam Margera and LA Ink’s Kat Von D were making out. “They were practically swallowing each other. They were right by the deejay booth, licking each other. Everyone saw.” Photos posted yesterday show that they left hand in hand.

Bam’s rep responded, “Bam is an old friend of [Kat's]. They did not make out. There are photos of Kat and Bam holding hands when they were leaving the party, but then they were just trying to get through the crowd. There’s absolutely no romantic relationship.”
