Are you ready for a new season of La Ink, I am. Kat still has Corey in the shop, but Hanna and Kim are gone. Kat had been away promoting her book and line of make-up. This episode of LA Ink starts out with some fireworks when Michael (Kat’s brother) hires a non-experienced shop assistant. Uh, Corey was not happy : ( I believe he used the words, ” you hired that BIMBO”. Totally funny because he whispers it his client that he is tattooing. When Kat gets to the shop and finds out about the hiring of Aubrey, she talks to Michael immediately. She asks him if she has experience, he says “no, but she has run three of her own businesses.” Kay asks what they were. Michael replies, ” uh, not sure. ” Kat states, ” great interview. I was just a funny conversation. On to the tattooing. Kat tats a portrait, her specialty, of a father’s son who had been hit by a car in a crosswalk. The son turned out to be okay and was even with his father while the tattoo was happening. He was chatting it up with Kat. Corey tatted a female sailor on a woman who is actually a captain herself. She had gone on a hard core sailing experience with her dad between high school and college and saw the world. I think that is pretty cool, I get sick when it get too rocky out in the ocean. Did I mention that Kat and Adrian do not like Aubrey. I’m thinking that Aubrey does not last long. Amy, a tattoo artist walks in and hope to get her portfolio looked at and Kat takes a gander. You could tell she was not feeling Amy’s rawness. Amy had only been tattooing for about four years. Did I mention that Aubrey is a pain in the butt to most of the staff? Well, it looks they are going to keep Aubrey around, at least for now and Amy the rookie tattoo artist may be getting the gig. Stay tuned
