Is anyone watching? I used to watch LA Ink. That is, until Ami kicked Kat out. I've watched bits and pieces since then, but haven't been too impressed. I started watching LA Ink when it started, and realized something while watching last night's show... I am enjoying the heck out of this show! I find myself smiling when watching, tearing up at the stories (something that never happened on Miami Ink) and really rooting for Kat to make a huge success of things. I think Kat's gonna bypass Ami in the "Ink" shows. Ami's ego has gotten too big, and he's just not amusing (at least to me). Of course, I'm not immersed in the tat culture and dunno if he's truly accepted as he is. But I find I love Kat, I love her exuberance, I love how excited she was to be back home. And OMG, I love her new studio!!!

I used to like Kat when she was on Miami Ink. But I find her too immature and arrogant. I also hate the tatts on her face. I know that's petty but that's how I feel <shrug>.

I like her! If you think she is too immature, that is okay---she is YOUNG! I do NOT think she is arrogant. She was treated mean by Ami, and I think he was just jealous of her. She could do better portraits better than he Ever could. He had no reason to fire her-- it was pure jealously on his part. You can disagree with me. That is fine. I don't care, cause I like her, and I hope she makes it big!! Even Chris said that Ami made a mistake by letting Kat go. Chris Garver, I mean. Chris Nunez is too stuck on himself. I wrote Kat an email and she answered me very nicely. Do you know that she can play classical music on the piano? She is a lot smarter than what people think. I noticed that she had what looks like a bust of Beethoven in her shop. Good luck, Kat, and may you make thousands!!!!!!

I watched both episodes of this show last night and I thought it was good. The new artists (especially the woman who does flowers) seem to be very good and it should be interesting to see how a tattoo shop with a strong female influence does in LA...I suspect it will do quite well. And it should also be interesting to see if there is a lot of Hollywood people who show up for tattoos and publicity. I think that Ami and Kat probably didn't get along very well, but I also thought that the "break-up" was more about her getting her own show in LA, where she wanted to be, than this huge "THING" between her and Ami. I think Kat wanted to be in LA, the producers knew that she was a good draw, she and Ami didn't get along, so it was played up to get more attention for the show. So I will probably watch both shows when I'm in the mood (thank goodness for TIVO, right?). They both have amazing artists.

Kat talked too much trash about Ami's shop to the customers. That's a huge no no as far as I'm concerned. But it was something that should've been discussed before it got too far though. I love Chris Nunez. Oh and Ami and Kat have 2 different talents. She's good and portraits and he's good at Japanese art. But both are great at their craft.

Honey, I truly don't mean to be sarcastic. I know that I come across that way at times, but I don't mean to be that way. I'm really pretty nice, and if you knew me, you would see that. Anyway, we all have our views, and that is what makes it interesting.

I do miss Chris Garver, though. I am not against Miami Ink, as they have some talented people. I just don't like Ami and think he is a mean s.o.b.! I admire Chris Nunez's tattoos, but don't care for him as a person. I wish that Chris Garver would quit Miami Ink and go over to L.A., but that is wishful thinking. Oh well.

The more of Kat the less I find myself liking her. I still really think she is an amazing artist, but I think the women she has in the shop with her are her match in talent. Right now Pixie is my favorite personality on the show...she seems like a really great girl and is really funny and enthusiastic. Kat seems to be really into herself..."Whatever baby gets baby wants" really turned me off. I hope that she kind of strikes a balance between a healthy ego and a pleasing personality, because I really liked her on Miami Ink...but on that show she wasn't the "star" and here she is. I do think the artists are really talented though, and so far the tattoos have been really good. I think the new shop is beautiful. Has Kat mentioned her husband recently?

In one of my weekly gossip mags it said that she and her husband divorced and that she had been dating Steve-O, but they have recently split. I want to say bc of his drug usage and such.

In both Miami Ink and LA Ink, I have yet to hear someone express dissatisfaction with their tattoo. If I were given a tattoo that was less than absolutely perfect, I'd certainly mention being displeased. With portraits especially, the eyes or mouth usually seem a bit off. Whenever the finished tat is revealed to the client, I keep waiting to hear that it isn't quite what was expected. Oh, well; it wouldn't be good for business but it would certainly liven up the show.
