LA Ink vs. Miami Ink


4mv8xzrLA Ink premiered yesterday evening on TLC and received a warm welcome from the huge fanbase of Kat Von D. A spinoff of the very popular Miami Ink, LA Ink basically replicates the “reality” aspect of Miami Ink as it features customers who share their stories and motivations behind the tattoos they get.

According to reports, Kat had left Miami Ink after a fallout with its co-owner Ami James. As the result of her leaving the shop, TLC offered her a show of her own in her hometown of Los Angeles California.

“Kat Von D is a legitimate television star who has remained a true artist and authentic personality in the tattoo community,” says Christian Drobnyk, senior vice president of programming for TLC. “Kat’s tremendous talent, dedication to her fans and compassionate heart make her the perfect person to anchor LA Ink.”

Although the show on TLC is called LA Ink, the actual business name is High Voltage Tattoo. With a trio of female tattoo artists and Corey Miller working alongside Kat, this show is sure to make noise and take a chunk of the fanbase from the Miami Ink series.

Now the question becomes, will Kat and company become the new “Top Dog” in Tattoo reality television, or will Ami, Chris, Garver, Brass, and Yoji continue to feed at the top of the tattoo food chain. Let the battle of reality shows begin!

Personally, I’ll be watching both shows. As much as I love Kat, I enjoy Miami Ink just as much.

  3. No but obviously your “mensa qualified redneck mind” has either forgotten how to use a search engine, or your pathetic attempts to bait people with a loaded question are not fooling them.

    Dimebag -
    This is a common term used for a $10 bag of marijuana. In this context it is used as either an adjective or a noun. As an adjective dime describes the noun bag in “Dime Bag” (of marijuana). In this context, it has also become commonplace to use the term as a noun where one seeks to purchase a “Dime”.

    This was the origin of guitarist Dimebag Darrell’s nickname; among guitarists and Pantera fans “Dime” is often used as a shorthand to refer to the late musician.

  4. A law degree does not make one immune to poor choices in life, nor does it seem to make one able to find the question you were asked.
    he question counselor, is ( and was) ” what exactly is a dimebag?” you have managed to grasp the obvious that it is ” a nickname” and further that he is dead. but have managed not to disclose what a dimebag is. Apparently my mensa qualified redneck mind has offended you to the point that you have lost your ability to follow the conversation. I will ask again
    What is a Dimebag?

  • The Spirit (Latest Theatrical Trailer) -#

    spirit_ver10Adapted from the Will Eisner's graphic novels, "The Spirit" tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) -- who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face -- has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this coldhearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront...all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.

    kimbo_slice_elite_xcI've been in a pick'em league over at S2 to I figured I post my selections here on the site during each mixed martial art event.

    As much as I would like to see Kimbo get a loss it wont happen versus Shamrock. Shamrock's going to try and prove a point and stand and bang and he's going to eat fist. lol. Did anyone see the weigh in's for Gina Carano? She had to bear all to make weight!

    My predictions:
    Kimbo Slice - KO1
    Jake Shields-KO R2
    Andre Arlovski-KO R1
    Gina Carano- Sub R2
    Murilo "Ninja" Rua-KO R3
    Yoko - Sub R1
