Nikki Six Kat Von D Split

Love Inks! Motley Crue rocker Nikki Sixx and TV tattoo artist Kat Von D have ended their nearly 3 year romance.

“I want to wish Katherine (Kat Von D) nothing but the best in her life. She has loved and inspired the hell outta me and I know I have done the same for her in these almost two years we ruled the earth together,” Sixx remarked in a statement on his website over the weekend. “We are taking a break from our relationship for reasons that we will choose to keep personal. You won’t find me saying a bad word about her and I don’t believe vice versa… we have too much wonderful history together to ever deface that.”

The pair began dating in 2007, following Von D’s split from fellow tattooist Oliver Peck.
