Fire Burns WeHo Strip Mall Where Kat Von D Has Tattoo Shop

A two-alarm fire damaged a West Hollywood strip mall Thursday morning where celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D has a tattoo parlor, according to an Los Angeles County Fire official.

About 50 firefighters responded to the call of a commercial fire, made at 4:07 a.m. Thursday, at a four-unit strip mall on the 1200 block of North La Brea Avenue, LA County Fire Inspector Rick Flores said.

Von D has two units in the block’s only strip mall, including her parlor High Voltage, which was the subject of a reality show called LA Ink that ran for four seasons.

The blaze was knocked down at 4:33 a.m., Flores said, though he didn’t confirm damage to any specific units. No injuries were reported.

A phone line at High Voltage was busy during several calls Thursday morning after the fire.

It’s the same block where a stolen Tesla was split in half on impact with a light pole at the conclusion of a high-speed police pursuit this July.
