So what do you do when your reality TV show gets cancelled, your hair is falling out and your relationship falls apart… record an album!

LA Ink star, Kat Von D has decided to start hitting the studio and is putting together some tracks.

Jesse James‘ Ex told E! News. “I’ve been passionate about music all my life. I’ve been playing classical piano since I was six. So I understand the form, but it will be fun to be able to translate a message.”

“I think it’s much like tattooing or the TV show or make-up, my clothing line, fashion,” adds Kat. “All those things, they’re just different outlets to be able to be creative. So music, I think it’s going to be one of those things.”

Some of Von D’s musical influences include Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Depeche Mode and The Cure.

So what will the album be like?

Well the 29-year-old tattoo artist revealed that it would definitely showcase her “dark, more tragically romantic” side.

Kat Von D and Jesse James split in September and according to a source this time it is 100% official.

“They are done, through and through finished, split, game over,” the source said. “They are both confident that they won’t be giving it another go. It’s the end of the road for them.

“I think it just fizzled out between them. They were hot and heavy to start, but once the sexual attraction started waning there wasn’t really anything left to sustain a relationship.”

So will you buy Kat’s soon-to-come album?
