Review of LA Ink

The first season was great. Gorgeous tattoo after gorgeous tattoo... and then they replace artists with fake drama. By the end it left you wondering if they set Kat Von D's house on fire simply for filler for an episode. What real tattoo artist would make a point to show up late for appointments or forget about them all together for a show? Or pretend to hire inept people and not fire them for months on end? I get reality TV is a lot of TV and barely any reality but if that's the game you're playing may as well fake a few earthquakes and have an occasional zombie guest star it would be more believable and entertaining than any episode with Audrey or Liz.
