Kat Von D gets baptized into Christianity in poignant video – one year after renouncing witchcraft and the occult
Kat Von D has been baptized into Christianity a year after renouncing witchcraft and the occult.
The tattoo artist and former make-up mogul, 41, shared a video of the church ceremony attended by scores of her tattooed friends – with the clip captioned with a simple cross.
The video saw Kat – who has been known for her gothic and macabre signature style throughout her career – dressed in a simple white robe as she took part in the immersion baptism.
The pastor said: ‘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 star – who famously hooked up with Jesse James in the wake of his split from Sandra Bullock in 2010 – was then completely submerged in water before coming out of the water and hugging her pastor.

Last year, the star opened up about her ‘spiritual battle’ and her desire to change her beliefs and lifestyle.
Sharing a post showing books on witchcraft, tarot and the occult she was throwing out, she wrote: ‘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.
‘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.
‘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.
‘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.
‘With that being said, I want to send extra love to everyone out there, and hope through some of these trying times, you are making meaningful changes in your life, too!
Back in October 2021, Kat jumped to her main Instagram page to reveal to her fans and followers that she and her family had made the decision to leave California.

A new place to call home: Last year Kat and her family relocated to the city of Vevay, Indiana and purchased another mansion for around $1.5 million
‘As some of you know, we recently purchased a beautiful home on a bit of land in rural Indiana, and the more time we spend out there we realize we feel more at home there than we do here in LA,’ she had explained at the time in the caption.
‘After much thought, we have decided we will permanently be moving to Indiana at the end of this year,’ the star added.
‘We plan on selling our beautiful home here, and I will most likely open a private studio in Indiana once we are done with the house remodel there.’
Due to the permanent move, the TV personality revealed that her shop, High Voltage Tattoo, would also be closing.
‘I didn’t think it would make sense to keep it open if I wasn’t present, and aside from coming back to work on music with my band, we don’t plan on returning to LA very often.’ She had opened doors to the popular tattoo parlor back in 2007.
The family have relocated to the city of Vevay, Indiana and purchased another mansion for around $1.5 million, per the New York Post.
The 10-acre estate contains 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms and contains sprawling green lawns and numerous fountains outdoors.
