Kat’s Outta The Bag
We just have to chat about Kat Von D’s new show opener don’t we? Yes indeed we do! LA Ink premiered last night on TLC and it was a great show if you ask me. But first off, let me get this out in the open…Kat is not only a talented artist but she’s simply gorgeous! And inked ta boot! Can you say luv? Ehem…well then…ok.
The show starts off with Kat inflicting some pain on actor/musician Eric Balfour. If you ask me, the tat would have looked totally awesome in color but she did a fantastic job with the black and gray regardless. Here is a video of that session so you can be the judge.
Corey does a great circular dragon tattoo on a client and Heather creates one of her signature Pin Ups. But Kim’s piece really made me go “wow” as the colors against the perfect skin tone were just spectacular! The piece was influenced by the client’s recent divorce but I’d say the tattoo is probably one of the best things that came out of it. Have a look see…
You can read more on the show over at Reality Ink where the folks there lay out a great review and go into more detail about the tattoos and the client/artist relations. Head over and check it out HERE
Over-all, again I think it was a great premiere and I am anxious to see where the show heads from here. I’ll keep you all posted here and we can discuss the upcoming shows in detail as the season progresses.
Until next time in the chair, may your tats be healthy and meaningful!

I looooooooove Miami Ink, and I think LA Ink will be just as good, if not better. Kat is amazing talented and I 100% agree with you - she is gorgeous (I love her stars).
The pin up girl tat was so cool! I think that all of the artists on this show will actually be great. I can’t wait to keep watching!

Thanks Allison! And yes Kat is so gorgeous. And those little stars just put me over the top! whew! But yes, all of the artists on the show are greatly talented and it will be fun to watch as they grow and progress before our eyes on the show.
Plus the drama! There’s got to be drama or it wouldnt be a show right? He he.
