After watching Kat showing up late when her father was waiting in the shop, showing up unfit to work or not at all after partying with Steve O, how can she still feel that she is justified in lecturing Aubry about professionalism? Or saying that Aubry isn't getting a tattoo for the "right reason"? How about the POS tattoo that she let Steve O put on her body. By the way, was he qualified and licensed to do that in her shop? It was as irresponsible as if Kat handed Aubry a tattoo gun, except that Aubry is trying to do things the correct way and Steve O could not care less.
Look...Aubry is a loser, too, but for Kat to roll her eyes at every comment from Aubry's mouth is total BS. The shop has taken on the personality of Junior High School and it's the responsibility of Kat who sets the tone for everyone else and Kat's idiot brother who hired Aubry in the first place. Shame on Cory for falling into Kat's childish games.
Cancel this show and give us back Miami Ink. At least Ami can run a REAL tattoo shop. I can't believe Discovery can tolerate this nonsense. I wish Ami had the power to FIRE Kat AGAIN.

I wonder how many of Kat's own rules about getting a tattoo she's broken herself..

- don't get one done if you're drunk/stoned.
- don't get one done on impulse or whim.

I'm not the only person who is repulsed by Kat's behavior. I'll buy a plane ticket to send Ami James to LA Ink to fire Kat and kick some in that shop. Come on TLC, stop rewarding this bad behavior and Give us MIAMI INK - real artists, no added drama.

Kat has never been Little Miss Sunshine. But I USED to admire her professionalism and work ethic. I didn't mind it when she drank because we've all got our little addictions and problems. But she has turned into the meanest shark in the sea. I hate what I'm seeing.

You do not treat employees the way she's treating Aubry. You fire them or treat them like human beings, period.

My main beef with the LA Ink show is that Kat was treated like SH$* on Miami Ink by the guys and it seems she ahs done the same with any new artist that wants a job in her shop! Its like not right Kat and you've been there yourself so why would you allow someone else to feel the rejection and the humiliation of knowing you put your all into something only to get slapped in the face around every corner you turn! SHAME ON YOU KAT!

To me I think TLC should start following Pauli and Amy at the other tattoo shop American Electric. I have been watching LA Ink for a while and I am getting tired of Kat and Corey. I think they think they are full of themselves. Damn they are tattoo artists. There fame came from the show, yes they are good at what they do. The way the act on the show now is way too much drama. Come on TLC follow both tattoo parlors and see what the viewers want to watch. I am over it and only continue to watch because you show Pauli and Amy everyonce in a while. Plus the owner of American Electric is a whole lot funnier.

Watching tonight's show was the ultimate disappointment in both Cory and Kat. They make excuses for why Paulie did not succeed at LA Ink. Kat did not allow Paulie to be tattooed by walk-ins. Cory was arrogant in what he said to Aubrey re: prize fighters. Kat and Corey are also way out of line in their treatment of Aubrey - reality or scripted, it really shows a side that is disappointing and unwarranted. Kat needs to behave like an employer. LA Ink is operating more like a frat house / soap opera than a professionally-run tattoo parlor. The parlor Paulie is now working at is a much better environment. TLC should keep the format of LA Ink and the other tattoo parlor. It compares and contrasts businesses. It also highlights just how dramatic and adolescent LA Ink has become.

Glad to see I am not the only one discusted with LA Ink. I believe TLC needs to start a new show called American Electric and follow the tattoo artist like Pauli and Amy they have alot better personalities and that is the highlight of LA Ink. I love watching them slam and talk about LA Ink's attitude. It's getting old either the editor should be fired or Kat needs to step back and look at the way she treats people. Her success is because people liked the show, when that is gone her success will be over. Great attitude Kat and Corey.

With every new episode Kat reinforces every negative thing that has been written about her in this forum. Her behavior toward Aubry is intentionally cruel because she knows better and makes a conscious decision to repeat it on every show. Kat is so consumed with resentment toward Aubry that her judgement is too impaired to run the shop - if she ever really did.
DUMP KAT AND GIVE US A SHOW THAT FOCUSES ON TATTOOS! COREY, GET OFF THE KAT KRAZY TRAIN.

i'm sorry but kat & corry you may have some talent but you are no god's.i think your stardom got to your heads.and if you lisend to what paulie said he was not asking for a hand out or simpithy, but just a chance that you gave him in the frist place. to work and show you he was right for the job. but you are to brain dead to understand that.and as for corry you want to take about being in a ring with champ's you were punk and he just left your" hair solon" and it was paulie you better hope i never see you in ny.as for paulie now that your out of that hair and nail place do what you do best. your what show show needs kat and corry are just to blind to see.

I think the way Kat has treated Aubry is despicible and I don't understand why Aubry hasn't just left yet. Probably because Kat keeps sending her mixed messages, telling her one minute she's terrible, and telling her the next how she's going to give her another chance.

I admire the stones on Paulie. He also got mixed messages. He gets hired, but they think he's terrible and they don't use him. Corey tries to befriend him in the beginning, rides around in Paulie's car and checks out an apartment with him? That's cold. If you guys didn't want him, you shouldn't have encouraged him and cut him lose sooner. He could have gone back to Brooklyn to stay, but no, he got an apartment because the THOUGHT he had a job. And blaming Aubry as the reason you never bonded with Paulie? Puh-lease!

I'll finish up watching this season, but I'm done with these people. They do some amazing work and they're good to their customers, but the way they treat other "outsiders" is foul.

I really thought L.A ink had some real stand up human beings,I WAS WRONG. MY husband and I watch your show religiously,NOT ANYMORE.Do you really think what you did and are still doing to Aubrey is at all nice? AND HOW DO YOU EVEN SLEEP AT NIGHT when Paulie left his home in NY to live and work in L.A.,IN YOUR SHOP, where you (KAT VON D)gave him a job and after 3 tattoos you cut him off.That is just the most Heartless,unkind,careless act anyone could do.Just think about what you did to this poor man.He was just visiting friends when you gave him the job and then he moved his LIFE to L.A. YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM THE RESPECT and tell him you don't think he's good enough for your snobby little hole in the wall.I think you and your family of artists are extremely talented and I used to think you guys were pretty cool,now I am really truly bummed out.I really think you made a very poor call.I am a very positive person and I truly believe Paulie will do GREAT in his life choices and you will regret lots that you make.And all that crap Cory was spouting out he's full of ink,and really is delusional and needs to re-watch everything that went on in the past weeks of the show.And when I said human beings, you can't possibly be human to do what you are doing.SHAME ON YOU, AND I HOPE GOD CAN FORGIVE YOU KAT VON D.I am saddened by the way you went from awesome to what I think is horrible.

I remember watching the guys treat kat like crap om miami ink, and enjoyed wathchin kat rise out of that to success.Now she has become the big headed bully instead of a role model and mentor to those following their passion. And why would you keep someone around like a bait on a hook for others to just pick apart? Bad move for someone who relies on the average person(not prize fighters) to employ you to put something so permanent on them and who you rely on to buy your products.This just sickens me. Nobody likes a bully, kat dont you remember? Now you run a factory of them, you even keep a snack around the shop for them to devour and practice on. I think you and your shop have lost touch with the fans you used to inspire. As far as prize fighters go your no Ali's more like Tysons. I hope you come to your senses cuz in times like these average people need to be inspired not relate to those being bullied.

I don't think Kat was treated as badly on Miami Ink as she is treating Aubry, Paulie and Amy. They all originally got along before their relationships went sour. Kat started off hating Aubry, Paulie, and Amy for no reason, and her abuse keeps escalating. There was no reason to move Paulie out if they weren't going to keep him. Or saying she didn't like Amy's face. WTF? or constantly tearing down Aubry and making her cry. Nothing like that happened on Miami Ink to Kat, no one ever attacked her personally, all the arguments where business related.

I too have become very dissatisfied with the show. It seems the farther into the season it goes the meaner and nastier they get. Kat keeps saying "its my shop". Well, start freaking acting like it and grow a pair and stop hiring people you don't want to hire. I am very disappointed with their actions toward these other people. Such a high and mighty attitude and I agree it has an air of jr high.

I am not sure I will even watch next season. Heck I am not sure if I will finish THIS season!

Watched the show tonight. I keep getting more and more disappointed! What happened to Kat?? My husband and I have watched it from the begining. Now it is just to hard to keep watching it. I felt bad for Kat for how she was treated on Miami Ink and now I think she is acting just like them if not worse. I am so disappointed in her and the rest of the crew. I see why Hanna and Kim left the show. I think I would rather watch a show with Ami and her group and Paulie. La Ink has become a freakin soap opera! They need to grow up and come down of their high horses or maybe TLC should get a new show to replace it.

Kat is really full of herself. Cory is something else. He is the prizefighter? I think he took too many punches. I had a tat done by ms LA when she was in Miami, not anything special. I did look for Paulie and had him repair it and add to it and it looks great now. I spent about 3 hours having kat do her work and Paulie had me in the chair about 1 and a half hours and what he added and repaired of Kat's tat was about double the size. Look Paulie up he is a great artist and I will put his work up against vondees or Cory's any day. I think that Paulie is a world champ compared to what Cory does. Cory couldn't make it as a drummer so now he works as a worker bee in the hive of Vandee. The reason that show is interesting is because of Aubry without her what would the show be? Cory and his nasal voice telling the world how he wishes he was a drummer and Kat selling her lousy smelling flower water, which is not selling. Kat acts like she is the worlds best tat artist which she isn't even close. I live here in Park City Utah and there is a shop here that has some of the best artists in the States. I quit watching Dog the I need plugs and a face lift, when the truth came out about the paint ball gun toting racist, as did many others. I will quit watching the Kat van dud, train wreck. I would love to see the Prizefighter Cory get in the ring with the amateur Paulie and see who gets their a$$ kicked.

Ok let me start off by saying Aubrey is a mental midget and shouldnt manage a ice cream truck let alone a money making tattoo shop!!That being said nobody should be treated like that nobody!Its like kat is keeping her there to make fun of her and thats the lowest of the low.I mean then again what would you expect from someone who loves her shop so much she hired the best tattoo artists to cover up her very very below average tattoos! Some of her artists are the best Ive seen ever!! Kats just not that great I mean she does some MEAN old english!!!HAHA Why Im writing though is about Paulie this poor dude gets what I would think is a tattoo artists dream job(have your work seen by millions,good money,work with some other great artist,and have the world see the struggling you had to go through to get where you are)then to move 3000 miles to start the job you have already and not get any work because they dont believe in you???I mean I saw the back piece Paulie did in Brooklyn it was beter then 90% of Kats portraits!!Im pretty upset I was really thinking of flying to LA to over pay to get some work done by Corey but I didnt realize that he was GOD so I think Ill find somewhere else to go. I think a show with Paulie and Amy would be awsome because being thrashed by those bullies and getting their own show would deffinatly be a pretty big kick in the face to those two IDIOTS!!KAT YOU HIRED THE KID AND GAVE HIM NO CHANCE CUZ IN YOUR SCREWED UP CONGALUTED HEAD YOU THINK YOUR SH!T DONT STINK.Wake up your semi hot so you got a job on a TV show and opened up a shop that is on TV cuz your semi hot thats it when it comes down to it you can deffinatly tell your a high school drop out and that you have no business sense and if you didnt have advisors telling you what to do you would probably fail!!Good luck Pauilie Amy and even Aubrey I really wish they keep you guys on the show at least cuz thats the only way im watching!!!

HI I recently started watching LA INK on a regular basis and am disgusted at the way Kat and Cory treat and talk about Paulie and Aubry.
Kat is sooo mean and has an undeserved ego which is only surpassed by Cory's. I'm not a pro but I like Paulie's tats as much as Kat's and more than Cory's. I like Paulie but think he's been too hard on Aubry. After watching these last shows where she has really been trying to get him work and being dumped on by Kat for doing so I think he owes her an apology.
I agree with a lot of other fans that I will not keep watching LA Ink but would watch a show with Paulie and Amy (and Albry?) and the owner of American Electric.

wow! I use to like this show and thought Kat and Corey was cool and liked there work . but their true colors are showing now , one thing if Kat does not like paulie`s work then just tell him the truthand let him go, instead of messing with the guy`s life.and making him think he works at LA ink. he needs to make money to live. one thing I dont understand is why any one would work at LA ink , when they have their own shop.where they do have the drama .and his work is not bad.now lastnights show where Corey say , about bringing an Amateur to a prize fighting ring and got his azz kicked . what a d--k and a joke .and yeah them dumb azz`s never even give him a chance ,just because of the blonde ditz. and with Kat I know its her show , thats great but the show and being on tv so went to her head .and instead of always saying I`m tired of talking about it and walking away . she`s always saying (I`m the Boss and this is my shop),then act like your the boss dont have Corey saying stuff and you just sit there. and fire the blonde if you dont like her,you just keep her to treat her like crap to make your self`s feel better about your self`s and that is so wrong,seeing that she cant take the hint and quit. Kat does good work but I have seen better ! I just dont like when people thing only they can do something and no one else is as good as them . ( there wrong ) beleave that! I`m so glad Paulie was smart to get out of a drama shop, I think that he is in a better shop now. if any of you people that watch the show have a DVR , pause it when they show Corey`s work and kat`s work and study the out lines some time`s the lines are not as good as they want you to think they are! on the tattoo`s . Amy was smart to get out of the LA shop , and I wish paulie luck at the other shop with Amy.and a better boss and good luck to the people that like this show . the bridges are being burnt and they wont last.........I know these show`s have to have the drama in it to keep it on tv . but when their heads get to big the they take things way to far and dont care who they hurt or mess with , just to make their show better.when I was watching miami ink and Kat was not treated right and she left to have her own show , I stopped watching that show then and now she is acting the same as they did and in some cases worse! so I am hoping for another Tattoo show with better artist.that know how to be a boss and only hire people they want there and let people go , not leave them around just to treat them like crap on tv to make the show better. and kat`s brother hired the blonde and should have tok her in the office and told her she is sorry but she has no Experience in a tattoo shop and she was really looking for some one with Experience , so she would give a two week`s,and if it dont work then she would have to let her go. thats being a real boss! not keeping her on and never giving her a real chance, but any way I could go on forever, but I can see why the only one left in her shop is corey, every one else keeps leaving and we keep seeing some one new . beause I know I could never work for a so called boss that treat`s an Employee the way she does. I have told many boss`s like that what they can do with their job. and always find work the next day .just like corey said, every can be replaced. and the same with the jobs so people dont need to put up with dumb azz`s like them . ok I done lol I told you I could go forever ......................

I have watched LA Ink since the show began and after last night's episode I don't think I could ever watch it again. Kat and Cory's egos are so huge I don't know how anyone can walk through the door of that shop without being smothered by it. The only reason Kat and Cory are famous is because of the show. That's it, period end of story. And now they are prancing around like the are the Gods of the Universe. I mean give me a break, I have had work done that would kick the sh*** out of anything Cory or Kat could ever do. And not to mention the way they treat people. I think Kat is just a b****. I liked her a lot better when she was drinking. I feel bad for the people that have to endure working there with those two. Especially Aubry. I mean she is definitely not the brightest crayon in the box but she doesn't deserve to be belittled and kicked around like she is by Kat and Cory, but mostly Cory. I mean Kat picks on her and treats her terribly but nothing like Cory. Every time Aubry says anything he practically calls her an idiot and belittles her like she is lower than dirt. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT. Even if they are the biggest moron on Earth, they still deserve to be treated like a human being. I think Kat keeps Aubry around just for entertainment and that is WRONG! I'm glad Paulie got a chance to leave that hell hole while he could. He is a great artist and needed a chance to show it off. F*** Kat, she didn't even give him a chance, and f*** Cory. Who the hell is a prize fighter? That portrait he did of that couples little boy looked like Curly from the 3 stooges after he finished. Good for Paulie and I hope Aubry smartens up a little and gets the hell out of there.

It may be Kat's shop and she has the right to run it as she sees fit, but there are some things that she needs to know.

First off, she should have called both Adrienne and Aubry into her office when Adrienne accused
Aubry of calling her (Adrienne) the B word. And yet Kat curses at Aubrey, even though the curse words are bleeped out. You don't chastise your employees out in public.

I also feel that Kat doesn't trust "outsiders". When Paulie first came in, Kat should have never said, "I don't hire anybody that I don't know" out on the shop floor. She should have taken him aside and told him in private what she expects out of everybody that she hires.

She also should have given Paulie a chance. Like Paulie said, he had bills to pay to. He was three thousand miles away from New York. To allow him only to have three clients, and then to completely push him aside in favor of Dan, Nikko, and Corey! How about that attitude that she had towards him when he showed Corey his car that he had shipped out to him from New York. That is just totally and completely unacceptable right there. Thank God that Paulie had the guts to stand up to her and tell her that he wasn't appreciated there and then quit. He had every right to prove his talent there. When he went back to New York, I thought that he was going back there for good. Thank God that he now works with Amy at her shop and that he's happy there. At least Amy's boss is giving him a chance.

And she still has to deal with Aubry. Let's face it: if Aubry's just simply working out. If Kat didn't want to hire Aubry, she should have said so. Otherwise, Kat should either let her go, or else Aubry should tell her that this job just isn't working out for her and then quit.

Kat may have high standards, but I think she needs to take a course in business management.

I'm completely floored by the complete "in club" behavior and stuck-up attitude. I really think Kat and Corey need to have a healthy dose of humble pie. I like Corey but hey man, you don't say things like you've been saying, it's just cocky. Kat, you really need to come back to reality. You aren't a rock star, you are just a flash in the pan and I think this season has assured that your flash is over. I can't believe the number of people you've lost in only two years. where are Hannah and Kim? What about Pixie? What about the dumb tattoo you have of Pixie and yet you don't speak with her anymore? I just can't believe the nightmare of stuck-up you've created. You give alternative people a bad name. It's not about how you look Kat, it's about how you treat people and apparently you treat people like crap. Shame on you and Corey. Shame on you.

Um, it's TLC that's turned this show into a mess. TLC fired Hannah & Kim for not bringing enough drama, they hired Aubrey, and they try to instigate as much drama as possible. When the cameras aren't on, High Voltage is as normal a tattoo shop as it gets, and everyone gets along fine. Also, when the cameras aren't on, Aubrey doesn't work there, because she's not a real employee of the shop.

Ami never actually fired Kat. TLC gave Kat her own show so they filmed a dramatic "Ami fires Kat" scene to explain why Kat moved to LA.

The whole thing is fake and scripted, see?

Uh, we know he didn't really fire her, we just wish we could see her chastised again for being a total d0uchebag.

But honestly I think this train wreck of a TV show would be punishment enough, if she watches it and keeps allowing TLC to make her look like an incompetent fool.

Here's the version for all of the doubters that what you see is real.
TLC is part of the Discovery Channel family who is responsible for this series - just look at the top of the page. Unless you are a staffer at TLC, or an employee of Hi Voltage Tattoo, you get you're information like the rest of us - from a TV show called LA Ink, so let's stick to what we see every week.
On the show this season, there is a "character" named Aubry who is being abused by two other "characters" on the show. The "character" named Kat plays an arrogant tattoo artist and sometimes recovering addict; the other character is Kat's lackey named Corey who is a spineless tattoo artist who assists Kat in her abuse of Aubry. TLC has done a great job of "preparing a script" that makes Kat and Corey look like complete douchebags this season. Whether this is "Real" or scripted, Kat and Corey are despicable. I happen to believe they are that way in "real life".
For the sake of argument, in another popular TLC show (which will remain unnamed) the couple was actually married, had EIGHT KIDS (hint, hint), and are going through a REAL breakup and a REAL divorce on TV this season.
Kat and Cory are just as real and just as screwed up as what you see. No one could write a script that could make these two any more disgusting.

I think the tattoos that Kat and Cory do are awesome and as good as it gets, but their attitude, especially Cory's sucks! They don't like anyone who isn't exactly like them. Aubry is very irritating but that's no reason to talk to her like she's dirt just because she doesn't look gothic. They hate people who are different and trying to fit in when to me it looks like they think they are the top and better than everyone else. If you aren't a tatted up rocker then don't go in this shop because you're not bad - enough to set foot in the door! If they didn't have Aubry then what would they talk about all day?

For the right amount of money most people on TV will sign a new contract and act any way the boss (producer) tells them. Never underestimate the power of greed.

When Cory said Paulie was thrown into a prize fighting ring and got the sh@t kicked out of him, I thought what an a hole. How cocky can you be? Paulie did a whole 3 tatts and that's considered a battle? I can't stomach to watch the show. I miss the other 2 girls. And I wish the best for Ami. Kat you and Cory sold your souls, if you ever had any.

I do not like the show anymore, too much BS. I think Kat acts short tempered because she is going through withdrawal from her drinking days. I also think her quality of work on her tattoos is not as good sometimes as it used to be. The show is more like a soap opera than a tatoo shop.

I find it so sad, that Kat is becoming something I never thought she would be. After loving her on Miami Ink and seeing what they did to her, I never thought she could be this way herself. Cory "grow up dude" You are worse than any women I know. What makes you so special. It is people like you "Bullies" that make people not feel very good about themselves. I wonder, You say you are a father (and I use that lighty) How would you feel if someone treated your child that way. Or do you teach him to bully also! I lost a wonderful son to Suicide, so I know what I speak. Plese there are better ways to dislike someone than to beat them down. Kat, please I was happy to hear that you are changing your ways, I will be watching,to see if you do. You are a loving lady "what changed"?

I think it's wrong that Aubry is being told who she can be friends with. Nobody has the right to tell you who you can and cannot be friends with. Nobody.

Wow after watching tonight I can't believe the nerve of theses people. If you're friends with them you'll never be a part of our family. Sounds like about 7th grade to me. I wish they would dump LA Ink and either go back to Miami Ink or start a show with Paulie and Amy. TLC must be paying Aubrey a bunch of money, if it was me I would have told Kat to go *?%$ herself a long time ago.

I bet they are starting a show with Paulie and Amy. Miami bailed, London didn't take off too well, and LA Ink is obvious over, people now see Kat's true colors, TLC wants to continue the franchise so they use the last, or 2nd to last, season of LA ink to spin off a new one. NY Ink is coming next season!

To summarize tonight's show, Kat says to Aubry: "If you want to stay at LA Ink and continue to be abused, you have to give up your only friends. That way we can further emotionally isolate you while holding out false hope that you might be accepted into our 'family'"...and a more dysfunctional "family" it couldn't be! What a Mongolian Cluster-F*** this place has become!

Whoa! How egotistical is Kat to think Aubry would have any loyalty to her after all the abuse. Kat really thinks she's queen, huh?

OK, can I just say that Kat and Cory and Dan are so incredibly full of themselves? Love Aimee and Paulie and the new shop and has anyone noticed the hilarious faces that their new boss makes? He's funny!!!
I understand that Aubry was hired as a shop manager. I get setting up stations and cleaning up and all but when someone eats and makes a mess and leaves their garbage everywhere then fusses when she doesn't clean it up right away....I'd say the same thing I say to my kids "clean it up yourself!". C'mon!! They keep talking about "family" and how no one can get in their little club. Well, they must have let someone in the club at some point unless they were all born together, attached at the hip. Hyprocrites. And bullies. I talk to my kids about bullies regularily and if they came home and told me that so and so said they'd only be my friend if I gave up all my other friends....I would tell them that that's not what real friends do and that that person is a bully. Plain and simple.

I can see that maybe they are aiming all this for a new show. Seems like a lot of moaning though. I'd watch something with Paulie and Aimee. They are people I would want as friends.

After watching this season, I can't imagine paying one of these souless "artists" to tattoo me.

Bring back Miami Ink, I'm sick of Kat's attitude as well as Cory’s. The show is going down the drain and is becoming more like 101 ways to treat Aubry like dirt. That’s not the show I want to watch. ..

Come to think of it, Kat is showing favoritism and using a double standard in running her shop.

She said that she didn't trust Paulie and his skills and wouldn't give him work because Dan, Corey, and Nikko were considered "priority". She said that it was "bad timing" when Dan had to go record with his band; even though they had an agreement when he first started working there; telling Aubry that Dan was the exception; and she still wouldn't let Paulie tattoo there. It's no wonder that he and Amy left, and I dont' blame them one bit.

Suppose Dan decides to leave the shop and concentrate full-time with band? What if Corey got sick or had a family emergency/ What would Kat do then?

When I said that Kat needs to learn business management and sensitivity training, I wasn't kidding. She needs to learn how to treat everybody in there fairly and stop playing favorites.

I finally deleted the LA Ink timer from my DVR after this past week's episode. I'm not watching this torture show week after week any more. I CAN'T watch the show after this last week when they told Aubry it was either Paulie and Amy or "the family". They don't ever have the intention of giving Aubry a chance; they're holding the carrot out in front of her. Yeah, Aubry is a real airhead but she seems to be a really nice person and I can't watch Kat, Cory, Dan, and Adrian degrading her and humiliating her week after week. I feel really sorry for Aubry and am mad that Kat's show has descended into a show about bullies. You made a big mistake on this one Kat. From a former devoted LA Ink viewer. Bye, bye Kat.

People talk about Kat being treated badly at Miami Ink? Well, she was just as much a drama queen there as she is on LA Ink. Refused to do color tatts. And how about the time they did a crossover program with American Choppers and Paul Sr.'s wife wanted a tat from Kat and Kat refused to do it?

Ami had to go up to New York and straighten things out. I'd have loved to see Paul Sr. go medieval on Kat like she's doing to Aubry.

I do know the Ami and the guys at Love/Hate Tattoo are looking at doing another program - I sure hope so.

Yeah! I heard Ami and the guys are doing a new show that will be on the Travel Channel. It's supposed to air at the end of this year, or the beginning of the next.
