Kat Von D is officially moving to Indiana, and she's taking her famous tattoo shop with her.
- Kat Von D announced on Instagram that she'll be closing her famous High Voltage Tattoo shop.
- She said she'll reopen the California shop, which has been in business for 14 years, in Indiana.
- Von D previously said she was moving to escape California's taxes, policies, and government.
In an Instagram post on Monday, the controversial tattoo artist shared a photo of herself with "Goodbye, California!" written across it. She also included shots taken at her famous High Voltage Tattoo shop - which was featured in her former TLC show, "LA Ink."
In the post's caption, Von D said her move will entail closing the Los Angeles location and reopening it in Indiana once her new house is fully remodeled.
"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 wrote.
Von D also explained why she and her family are making their move to Indiana official after previously saying they'd split time between there and California.
"After much thought, we have decided we will permanently be moving to Indiana at the end of this year," she wrote on Instagram. "We plan on selling our beautiful home here, and I will be re-opening @highvoltagetat in Indiana once we are done with the house remodel there."
