LA Ink

Sure my rating is high, but the current rating set by others is much much to low. A reality show that hires actors?! No, they wouldn't do that. Really guys if you think reality shows are not staged WAKE UP! Some (like the Gene Simmons show) are extremely staged, while others not so much. This would fall into the not so much category. Do you really think Cat wants an idiot screwing up her shop? You can knock a show for what it is. Its like saying Star Wars would be good if it wasn't set in space! The inspirational stories are a part of the show, and people do get tattoos of their pets all the time. There is no cute factor to it, its just what some people like to do. If you don't like these things which really take up a majority of the show, Don't WATCH! After all its just a time killer nothing more.

Kay really needs to get a life outside of being addicted to tattoos. She and her cast of characters try really hard to make up fake story lines to attract viewers but I don't think it's working. Better if she had a show to remove her tattoos and try to be someone different.

In short..it will be interesting if you love, art, and tattoos..

But the thing that bothers me is so much sad stores that i have to listen to. Ppl dying, being ill..being killed in accidents..if I wanted to watch that stuff I would watch some hospital documentaries..sometimes can get depressing, and I don't want to watch depressing tattoo show..same goes for Miami ink. Thou by my opinion LA ink are better artists that Miami ink guys.

Good art, but I don't want to end up sad watching it being made. And I don't really care if someone has this or that illness so hes/shes getting a tattoo. I don't like fluffy stories either normal life stories can be interesting the same I'm watching it cause of the tattoos anyway. I'll mention that I'm sometimes irritated by pretending to be friends with someone in the show, or to be interested in hes stories..but..guess that's business..

The obviously staged drama The terrible cuts The horrible behaviour of almost all of them!!!

It's all bad The show is a glorified ad for D-list celebrities to market their 'projects' They were so awful to Aubrey (even though she was indeed a bit annoying) They reminded me of the typical empty-brained bullies you see in high schools.

Art! Tattoos! Kat! All wonderful. THEN; a loser chick from the suburbs of nowhere comes to leech. THEN; the Jesse James drama (wasn't he happy with his own reality show?)...THEN; oh my, Jesse's been in a crash. THEN; my makeup line/my shoes/my clothing line...

Art? Tattoos? Where? When?

There were enjoyable moments when LA Ink was about just that...the world of tattooing and the local color of a city of ultimate creativity since its creation. It ended up as it always does, a giant yawn.

I am still an admirer of KVD's as a former tattoo artist (and I think she's beautiful), but I ignored all subsequent seasons of the show.
