Tattoo artist and reality TV personality Kat Von D, known for her distinctive dark aesthetic, has recently taken to Instagram to share a video of her baptism as a Christian. The artist, whose birth name is Katherine von Drachenberg, publicly renounced occult practices and witchcraft in the previous year.
In the Instagram post, Von D captioned the video simply with a cross emoji. The footage captures the moment of her baptism, where a pastor declares, “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.” Following this proclamation, Von D, dressed in a white robe, emerges from the water and embraces the pastor.
This spiritual transformation follows Von D’s public statements in July 2022 about reassessing her life and making meaningful changes. She expressed a realization that she had made mistakes in her past and discussed a process of purging items from her life that she deemed inappropriate. Von D mentioned going through her entire library and discarding books that did not align with the person she aspired to be.
In her Instagram post from July 2022, Von D acknowledged her attraction to the macabre but emphasized the need to reevaluate her relationship with such content. She discussed a “spiritual battle” she felt was taking place and the decision to remove items like tarot cards and books about witchcraft from her home. The post reflected a desire to surround herself and her family with “love and light.”
