You may know Kat Von D from Miami Ink and LA Ink, but she is so much more than what you saw on TV.

As a kid, Kat felt like an outsider- but through her music, tattoos and business, she created community for others who grew up feeling the same way. On MNN's Money Maker, Kat tells host Nely Galán the story of her meteoric rise; from mohawks in church, to opening up her first tattoo shop, to regrettable contracts, to peace and sobriety. Her story is for anyone looking for the tools to turn their passion into a career.
