Tattoos Last, But Relationships Vanish: Kat Von and Jesse James Part Ways

The tattooed couple Kat Von D and Jesse James couldn't make their relationship last long like their permanent body art. I am not in a relationship, Kat Von D wrote on her Facebook page Saturday, when it has hardly been a month since they announced their getting back together after calling off their engagement in July.

However, Kat Von D understands how confused people could be about the whole deal, which is why she has apologized. And I apologize for all the back and forth if it's caused any confusion.

The tattoo artist has shunned rumors about her relocating to Texas, where James is based in. I am not in any way moving to Texas, Kat Von D wrote. I am not opening up another tattoo shop. And I am not leaving my shop here in Los Angeles, High Voltage Tattoo.

Though Kat wouldn't have a reality show of her own, after the cancellation of LA Ink, she said she is in no way retiring, and that her tattoo shop is not closing, and is open for business like always!

As hard as it is to sometimes let go of the things you are so accustomed to doing, I am happy to have done LA Ink, but am even more excited about new upcoming ventures - and can't wait to eventually share more about this with you all!

So what went wrong this time? It was clear to me that we were just on two different paths in life, Von D tells PEOPLE. My friend put it best when he said I could never be more deserving of total, noble love. And as a woman, I think it's important to know your value and never lose sight of that.
