LA Ink star Kat Von D has revealed she's a big softie at heart.The heavily tattooed sex symbol admits people think she is tough rock chick because of the way she looks.But she insists she likes nothing more than reading a good book or listening to classical music.And instead of going out partying with boyfriend and Motley Crue guitarist Nikki Sixx, Kat insists they prefer to stay in and read self-help books.She said: "I am happy that people like diversity. For women, a lot of it has to do with how you carry yourself. You can be heavily tattooed and still carry yourself in a feminine way. "I remember junior high years were really difficult – I felt like an alien because I was different. Artistically, my brain was on another level and I looked different."Social circles are weird and even as adults, people judge you about how you look and I've learned just not to care. I am just a big nerd."People think I am this huge rocker chick, but I am really just a softie at heart. I like to read a lot; I like to play classical music."Kat claims her relationship Nikki Sixx has helped heal those high-school wounds, as the couple spend private time together studying the art of self-help.She added: "I learn so much from him – this is the most fruitful relationship I have ever had."We read a lot together and we are really into self-help books and wisdom books, and it's cool – I am constantly learning from him."source: Splash News
