This week, TLC aired the season finale of L.A. Ink, Kat Von D’s spin-off of the wildly popular Miami Ink. Just like it had all season, it was full of tons of talent, a little bit of drama, and some really, really amazing tattoos.
Ever since she hit our screens in Miami Ink, Kat’s been wowing us with her portrait work, and now that she’s enlisted her incredibly gifted friends to help her in her own shop, we’ve been treated to some of the best ink there is to offer.
First, Kat reunites with her friend Pixie (love her!) and lets her in on her plans to open her own shop. Then she meets up with Corey Miller who is one of her inspirations:
Then, she tattooed actor Eric Balfour:
Something really endearing about L.A. Ink (and TLC in general) is it’s ability to show what seems like cheesy moments and morph them into something heart-wearming but not cringe-worthy. In this clip, a grandfather is memorialized and the family gets together to watch Corey play with his band!
It’s awesome to see in the world of body modification, woman tattoo artists are getting the proper platform it needs…if just to prove that the business doesn’t need to be dominated by the guys!
Do you have a tattoo? What is it? What’s the story behind it?

I love L.A. Ink and Miami Ink. They’re so awesome. It makes me want to work in a tattoo parlor and get a zillion tattoos.
I have three tattoos and want more. They all have meanings, like the shark for my surfing craze, the love of the water is my dolphin and sunflower on my hip for “growth.” Im thinking of doing some airbrush tattoos on friends to get the hang of doing my own real ones someday! I get a lot of my awesome products online here: http://www.tribalinkproducts.com
These shows are awesome! I have one tattoo of an anchor on the left side of my lower back. I got an anchor because it is the symbol of my sorority. I was told when I was getting it done that i’d get addicted and want another one, and that is so true! I’m trying to resist the temptation though!
I love Kat. I love her. She is hot, and I love her so much. KAT PLEASE MARRY ME…PLEASE!!!! Seriously, you can tattoo every part of my body twice.
I heard they are not renewing her show. Is that true? Where has Miami Ink been? I cant find it this season.
I have been going through issues with pain and the different treatments that the “experts” say and I so terribly want to get some tats but am so very afraid. I do have a question, When a tat is being done is the needle on the gun ripping the skin?
