Reality TV star Kat Von D had a more in-depth discussion about her recent conversion to Christianity.
The 41-year-old tattoo artist, who became famous on the TLC series “LA Ink,” shocked fans when she began moving away from her dark, macabre aesthetic and publicly renounced occult items in her home. In early October, she published a video on Instagram of herself being baptized into the Christian faith.
Von D (Katherine von Drachenberg) made an appearance on BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey’s podcast, “Relatable,” and said she’d been a longtime listener. The reality star said she was using “New Age stuff” as “bandaids” and “crutches,” never finding satisfaction in those items.
“When the lockdowns happened … [my husband Rafael Reyes] just said, ‘Hey, baby, I think we got it wrong. You know, I think we got a lot of things wrong,'” she said during the interview.
“You have to understand at the time … BLM was going hard,” Drachenberg told Stuckey. “I was in the middle of it. Like, I lived three doors down from the mayor of L.A., so we had Antifa, like, on our front yard, you know, after they threatened to do the Molotov cocktails and stuff like that. … So we were just, like, seeing things in real time, and they were much worse in real life than I think what people even put on TV.”
She continued, “I started just kind of, like, re-evaluating, kind of going down the list of what I’m doing with my life. And it got to the part of my spirituality, and that’s where I started really rethinking a lot of things.”
Later, the tattoo artist said she started comparing the lives of friends who did drugs and dabbled in the occult with friends who practiced the Christian faith. That’s when she started noticing a difference.

“My husband and I, we look at a Rolodex of friends that we have, and the ones that are dictating their life through that, and they’re leading their life through that, and they’re making their decisions through tarot or, you know, some of the witchcraft stuff … they’re all so miserable,” Drachenberg said.
“They’re the most broke people. Usually, most of them are single; they don’t have stability — and I’m talking about both financial and the love around them, right? There’s always this drama and dread and doom and gloom,” she continued. “I was one of them, you know. … I would look around at my Christian friends, and I’m like, they’re not perfect by any means, but I want what you have, you know? Like, I love the light that you have.”
Drachenberg said she’s been happy with the changes she made. “I feel like I’m the best wife and the best mother I can be now because of the changes that I’ve had. I mean … it’s like a deprogramming has taken place. Things that I used to find attractive are disgusting to me, you know? And it’s like, I wish I could put into words like how amazing those changes are,” she said.
