Show Summary

  • Ended

Body artist Kat Von D has left Miami Ink and is setting up shop in her hometown of L.A., and TLC has its cameras on her to capture her success... or failure. Even though she's one among many tattoo parlors in the City of Angels, Kat's reputation precedes her. But can she learn how to balance her professional and personal life in a place where it's easy to get distracted by the glitz and the glamour?

    "Terrible"
    By SoylentYellow, Nov 24, 2010 Report Abuse
    Seriously, why on Earth did they create this show - isnt Miami Ink enough? More importantly why do people do this to their bodies? People in their teens and 20's put this grafitti all over their bodies then wonder why they cant get decent jobs later on and must spend thousands of dollars to have doctors remove their "art".

    Some people are covered with tattoos - art school students end up being qualified for jobs with the circus, adult book stores or a tattoo shop - thats about it - Hells angels member too - forgot about that one. Of course doctors love this trend as tattoo removal has become a booming business. In some cases people spend tens of thousands of dollars having them removed. America, what a country! Ugh.........moreless

    I love tattoos. I have loved them for as long as I could remember, and this show is just amazing for people like myself. The beautiful and talented Kat Von D really completes the show. I watcched Miami Ink when it first came out, and it really just didn't cut it for me. This show was just so much better. The drama sometimes gets to me, and gets a little irritating, but it's worth it for the point of the show, and the amazing ink featured. Kat has come a long way too, from the drinking, to the original VERY awkward narrations, there is so much that has been improoved on. It's a good show to follow, especialy if you love the art.moreless

  • A reality show starring famous tattoist Kat Von D.

    "Abysmal"
    By goldtop2007, Jan 07, 2010 Report Abuse
    Kat Von D is a world renowned tattoo artist from LA. She began her career at the tender age of 14 when she bought a tattoing needle, and started experimenting on herself and her friends. She was a natural and quickly got a job at a downtown tattoo shop, proceeding in developing her unique talent.

    Although well known in Rock & Roll circles and of course, in the tattoo business, she only rose to most people's attention when she got a job at "Miami Ink". Following her fallout with the shop owner, she hastily resigned. She was popular with the viewers though, and immediately signed a deal for her own show: "LA Ink", which was a big success.

    In watching "LA Ink" you get a peak inside the tattoo business with its many colorful personalities and partiers and celebs. As one of Kat's employees said in season 1: "It's not a job - it's a life style."

    I fell of in season 4 - it was too plotted, and in a nasty way: they hired Aubrey just to harass her and create drama. The real face of Kat apeared and it was not very nice at all.. Anything for a quick buck TV..I'll never watch it again.moreless

    I love this show, I hate that I have missed sooo much of it before by not giving it a chance. I think they should do a weekend marathon so that those of us who have missed it can see the past shows and those that have seen them Im sure would enjoy seeing them again. Now I have a lot of respect for Kat but she needs to take better care of Corey. He is a good man and is always there for her. If she doesnt watch it, she may just lose him. And Aubrey OMG that girl is sooo stupid, she has no clue when to just be quiet and DO HER JOB. Kat has been waaay more patient then most of us ever would be. But the last straws for me would have been 1, the lady that had the tatoo of a woman looking out at the boat coming home, anyone with a menial sense could see that. 2 Her talking that client out of her tatoo, it was not Her place to do that and 3 Her expecting to be on the mural OMG PAAAALEEESE . Please Kat, kick her assto the curb ! lolmoreless

  • Very Good Show But Could Do With Being Less 'Staged'

    I thingk this show is a very good show but sometimes feel that it is very 'staged' and not so much a 'reality' show as such. I have to say that Miami Ink is much better. I love Kat and the rest of the cast and i think the show is very good in general apart from the above. I watch every episode and love the concept but there is always the feeling that it can do much much better and doesn't quite match up to Miami ink. All in all a very good show though. I hope it gets better with each season..moreless
