Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D‘s husband Rafael Reyes, who goes by Leafar Seyer professionally, was hospitalized late last month for an unknown reason. The 37-year-old LA Ink alum took to Instagram on Aug. 27 to share the news, revealing that Reyes had undergone surgery but was expected to make a full recovery.
“It doesn’t matter how big or little the risk is, there’s nothing like a medical surgery to remind you how precious those you love are,” she captioned a photo of her husband in a hospital bed. “Te amo con todo mi corazón, mi amor.”
