Reality TV got a whole lot more inky, as the reigning Queen of Tattoos, Kat Von D, whose LA Ink series has a devoted following, is engaged to the man who broke Sandra Bullock's heart a scant year ago.

Reality TV star Jesse James, whose mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee was a living wallpaper of Nazi imagery, words like "suicide", flowers, fruit and other odd images juxtaposed over ultra white skin, was discovered last year to be fooling around on his Oscar-winning wife during the height of award season.

James doled out his statement to People: "2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend...An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs."

"I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day...My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said 'yes.' Growing old with her is going to be a (expletive) blast!"

Certainly a colorful one, as Von D has now inked tattoos onto her face like his old squeeze "Bombshell."

Von D has no children, and James has one daughter with porn star Janine Lindemulder, and a son and daughter with his marriage to Karla James.  James' marriage to Bullock ended officially on June 28.
