    I typically write off the tattooists on LA Ink as mediocre but some of the work on their sites is actually kind of impressive. I liked Hanna Aitchison’s site a lot . I suppose you don’t get to see their really good pieces on the show.

    I wouldn’t write them off. Hannah and Kim are amazing. I worked with Hannah almost 10 years ago and artists from the same shop went on to work for Kim at Cherry Bomb. They are some of the best female tattooers in the industry and deserve to be the stars of the show.

    All of the artists on LA Ink do great work. Writing their art off as mediocre shows mediocre ability to judge tattoos. 😛
