Kat Von D gets baptized after 'spiritual awakening'

World-renowned tattoo artist Kat Von Drachenberg shared a video of her getting baptized after undergoing a "spiritual awakening" last year.

Drachenberg, formerly known for her macabre aesthetic, tossed out her witchcraft practices, stating that she no longer desired to invite demonic possessions into her family's home, and instead journeyed towards the Holy Spirit, resulting in her decision to be baptized.

On Tuesday, the 41-year-old reality TV personality posted a video compilation of her baptism to Instagram. In the video, she is baptized during a local Indiana church ceremony, and her family and friends are seen cheering her on, according to The Christian Post.

"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," the pastor is heard saying moments before he baptizes her.

A post shared by Kat Von D (@thekatvond)

Drachenberg made headlines last year after announcing she was leaving her occult past behind for a new found life in Jesus Christ.
 

"I don't know if any of you have been going through changes in your lives right now, but in the last few years I've come to some pretty meaningful realizations — many of them revolving around the fact that I got a lot of things wrong in my past," Kat Von D said in the Instagram post.

"Today, I went through my entire library, and threw out books that just don't align with who I am and who I want to be," Kat continued. "I've always found beauty in the macabre, but at this point, I just had to ask myself what is my relationship with this content? And the truth is, I just don't want to invite any of these things into our family's lives, even if it comes disguised in beautiful covers, collecting dust on my shelves."

Kat Von D, the creator of the wildly successful makeup line "KVD Beauty," which includes macabre-style packaging and a lipstick shade called "Witches," went on to explain that the reason for the drastic shift is because she is undergoing a "spiritual battle."

"In no way is this post designed to put anyone down if you're into this stuff, because I think we are all on our own journey, and I love everyone regardless of where they might be at. But right now, it's never been more clear to me that there is a spiritual battle taking place, and I want to surround myself and my family with love and light," the "LA Ink" alum wrote.

"With that being said, I want to send extra love to everyone out there, and hope through some of these trying times, you are making meaningful changes in your life, too. Thanks for listening," Kat concluded.

According to the outlet, Drachenberg's parents were missionaries for the Seventh-day Adventist church. Her family's religion, according to her, is "Christianity with a few Jewish traits." We observed the Ten Commandments, observed the Sabbath, avoided eating pork or fish without scales, and attended church on Saturdays." She has since returned to the way of life in which she was raised
