I first heard of Kat Von D through watching Miami Ink and was chuffed to bits for her when I heard she was opening up her own tattoo shop and she was going to be making a tv series too. I was a huge fan of Kats amazing work on Miami Ink and to be honest, I lost interest when she left. LA Ink is full of really interesting guests who have stories to tell, some of which make you laugh and others make you cry. The artists are amazing, makes you realise that if you're going to get a tattoo, you really need to shop around for the best. Pixie is a fantastic persona in the shop, a very colourful character and a great shop manager. I think that you can't really compare LA Ink to Miami Ink as the artists and the guests are so different. My husband prefers Miami Ink, I prefer LA Ink. There is just something about Kat that makes you want to watch her, she is very likeable and doesn't hide her emotions which sometimes makes her very vulnerable and down to earth. A great series, I will watch it over and over.
