LA INK

Tattooing BAM! and RIDICULOUSLY awesome SKATE RAMP PARTY!

Just to give you guys a heads up, on Tuesday nights' new episode of LA Ink, I'll be tattooing my dear friend, Bam, who has always been one of my favorite people to tattoo!

Meanwhile, you'll get to see the build out process of the killer new skate ramp we just built inside the tattoo shop! I figured what better reason to throw a party, right?!

So, one of my fave Swedish rock bands, VAINS OF JENNA, ended up playing the Skate Ramp Party, while Bam, Chad Muska, and Mike V broke in the ramp!

When all of this was goin' down, i looked around at all my friends who made all of this happen, my sis, the night crew for the shop, and everyone else, and was so taken aback at how much fun all of this has been.. i mean, with the TV show aside, I really cant think of any other shop I've worked at that I've had this much fun..

All the blood, sweat and tears were definitely worth it..

I have to say this episode is BY FAR one of my FAVORITES so far, and I can easily say, its one of the best! I hope you guys dig it too...

AND THEN, Im gonna be tattooing my other dear friend, and fellow tattooer, Dan Smith (singer of The Dear and Departed) this week on the show, too! Which was totally fun, since we used to work together back in the day, but never actually got the chance to tattoo each other!

The tattoo was so much fun to do, since he got this photograph of his best friend and wife, who were both pretty heavily tattooed themselves, so I got the chance to tattoo THEIR tattoos on the actual tattoo... pretty trippy!

Check Dan out, because he'll also be at MUSINK Tattoo/Music festival in February tattooing away along with 200 other tattooer friends of mine from all over!

After watching the rough cut of this episode, I think its obvious that I am truly blessed to have one of the most amazing teams on the planet, even though we have our ups and downs, I can proudly say , that everyone at the shop kicks ass... when you see the tattoos this week, you'll know what I'm talkin' about...

Let me know what you think guys!

Love you all so very much,

Kat
