Kat Von D‘s made a permanent impression on the reality television space … and, we’ve got her hottest shots to ink into your mind on her 43rd birthday!

The star’s celebrating another year round the sun Saturday … and, she’s proving that tattoos aren’t the only permanent part of her — ’cause she still looks as great as ever!

Check out this pic of Kat in a tight green and white top covered in keys … unlocking something inside each and every person who sees her in it.

She also knows how to take a joke … ’cause she’s got no issue dressing up with a clown vibe — albeit not the kind you’d hire for a kid’s birthday party.

In more recent years, Kat’s taken to ridding her body of some of her famous ink … giving fans an inside look at the process of blacking out her tattoos on Instagram.

Check it out … her arms are completely covered in black ink — and so is the side of her body. Easier than getting tattoos removed it seems!

KVD’s also got a lot of opinions too … including questioning how Linkin Park could replace Chester Bennington with a woman — so, she’s got hot takes galore too.
