Actress Dakota Fanning has been inked by celebrity tattooist Kat Von D.

The 16-year-old star was talking to chat show host George Lopez about Von D – the star of reality shows LA Ink and Miami Ink – when she came out from backstage.

“I saw her driving in LA a few months ago and I was so star struck,” Fanning said. “I just think she’s so cool. I watched her show Miami Ink and I watch her new show LA Ink now. She’s so talented and such a great artist.”

After the surprise meeting Von D volunteered to work on the actress – but only in permanent marker because of a promise the actress made to her mum.

Fanning said: “When I was 11 she made me sign a contact and it says ‘I will not ever get a tattoo’; and then there’s a little ‘x’ and a line – I had to sign my name and my sister had to do the same thing.”
