Anything But Coffee

For those of you who are patiently waiting for tonights episode of LA Ink, here is a little teaser about what tonights episode is about. Be sure to check back after the show for a full recap.

Kat Von D decides that its time for her father to come visit the shop and see what his tattoo sporting little princess has been up to. She invites him over and of course, nothing goes down as planned.

Things start to get a little out of control when Kat, for what ever reason, ends up being almost 5 hours late to the tattoo shop. Because of this, Kat Von D not only keeps her father waiting but also her rock star client Frank Iero who is the rhythm guitarist for the band My Chemical Romance.

Of course he is bored so he finds ways to keep himself entertained while he waits for Kat to get back to LA Ink.

Hope this is able to keep all you LA Ink fans tied over until the show airs later tonight on TLC.

It’s a Rocky Start for Kat Von D and L.A. Ink

Kat Von D is back in Los Angeles to open her new shop but unfortunately things aren’t going as well as she hoped for in the season premier of L.A. Ink.

After finding the perfect location for her studio High Voltage Tattoo at 1259 n. La Brea Avenue, West Hollywood in California; and the urge to start tattooing her fellow Los Angelenos, Kat Von D realizes running her studio isn’t going to be all fun and games.

With construction underway, Kat is off to find her perfect dream team of tattoo artists to help her fulfill her dream of the perfect Los Angeles Tattoo studio.

The Staff of LA Ink

Kat finds her self off to Chicago on a recruiting mission to grab two very talented tattoo artists; Kim and Hannah with hopes of stealing them away to work with her at L.A. Ink. Kat has a vision of running a full female staff which is sure to bring in all the women looking for fresh ink in a traditionally male dominated world.

And let’s not forget all the male clients who I’m sure wouldn’t mind watching these beautiful women work their magic.

As an added bonus Kat Von D shows off her skills by finding the time to tattoo the Los Angeles sky line on the arm of Lauren from Pride Clothing, a local Los Angeles clothing line who’s motto is Show Some Pride, Pride Clothing.

With Kim and Hannah agreeing to go work with Kat out in Los Angeles, and Pixie already signed on to be the shop manager, Kat feels that a little bit of testosterone might just be a good thing to help keep things in check. So shes of to the city of Upland, located just about an hour away in the Inland Empire to grab her friend Corey Miller of Six Feet Under Tattoo Parlor to join the ranks of L.A. Ink. With some hesitation, Corey ultimately agrees and Kat Von D’s Dream Team is up and running…but she can’t say the same for the shop it’s self.

So with a client list of celebrities and appointments to keep and staff of tattoo artists ready to ink but no place to work and, things aren’t looking too good for Kat Von D and the staff of High Voltage Tattoo on this first episode of L.A. Ink.
