Tattoo artist Kat Von D just announced she bought the historic Schenck Mansion in Vevay, Indiana for $1.874M because of ‘tyrannical government overreach’ in California.

The seven-bedroom fully-furnished house was built in 1874, sits on 10.6 acres, and features a four-story tower, water garden, gazebo, and a small vineyard – according to Realtor.com.

The Mexican-born 38-year-old plans on remodeling the mansion and opening ‘a little tattoo shop’ in the small town populated by 1,683 people (97% Caucasian).

‘With all that has been taking place in California, with terrible policies, tyrannical government overreach, ridiculous taxing, amongst so many more corruption, we just felt the need to plant roots in a small town where there is nature, where my son can be free to play, and where we can eventually retire one day,’ Kat (born Katherine von Drachenberg) wrote last Thursday.

COVID-19 is spiking nationwide, and there have been over 623K confirmed cases in Los Angeles leading to 8,875 deaths as of Monday – according to Johns Hopkins University

Despite that, Von D has no plans on selling her tattoo shop or ‘beautiful’ Victorian-style mansion in the Windsor Square neighborhood of Hancock Park, which she just transformed into a winter wonderland.

Five months earlier, the vegan anti-vaxxer put her old four-bedroom Outpost Estates home in the Hollywood Hills on the market for $3.4M – according to Variety
