Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx surprised band mate Mick Mars by having girlfriend Kat Von D tattoo the mysterious Crue guitarist on his left leg along with the numbers 1313 according to Blabbermouth.

Sixx wrote on his blog on Sunday (October 19): “Katherine tattooed a killer portrait of Mick Mars on my leg and we got to surprise him with it at the Los Angeles Crüe Fest show. It was a pretty emotional rollercoaster ride to share the whole experience with Katherine, from the beginning of the idea to the end when we finally show Mick.”

Sixx and tattoo artist Kat Von D have been dating for several months.  Sixx divorced his ex-wife Donna D’Errico last year.

Nikki released The Heroin Diaries last year to much fanfare.  The book is taken from his diaries he wrote while strung out on heroin back in the mid 80’s.

As a teenage boy I thought Nikki had the coolest ink on the planet. His sleeved arms still rank up there as some of the best tat work ever.  Luckily I outgrew my stage of wanting to sleeve myself as well.
