Her first book, "High Voltage Tattoo", compiling her artworks and tattoos, with a foreword by Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx, was released in January 2009 and reached #6 on "The New York Times" Best Seller list. Von D described the book as "not an autobiography, you know, 'cause I'm too young to do that. But this is just kind of like a picture-driven outline of my career as an artist. So, you see everything from my drawings when I was six to tattoos that have never before been seen." Her second book, "The Tattoo Chronicles", an illustrated diary following a year in her life, was released October 26, 2010, and reached #3 on "The New York Times" "Hardcover Advice & Misc." best-seller list.
