After the Fact: The Break-up on 'LA Ink' Second Season Finale
TV time finally caught up with real time last week with the airing of LA Ink's second season finale.  The episode featured the breakdown of Kat and Orbi's relationship, which has already been the subject of news for the past few weeks.

Just a few days past the halfway mark last month, we broke the news that Kat Von D had severed her love ties with Alex aka Orbi Orbison and was already seeing Motley Crue bassist, Nikki Sixx.  Since LA Ink is not aired in real time, the episodes depicting the beginning of the end for Kat and Orbi have just aired, despite the fact that both parties have admitted to their break-up actually occurring over a month ago.  In Orbi's own words on his MySpace blog: “TV time:  We dated till the last week of February.  They started dating the first week of March.”

Last week's LA Ink season ender, “On the Rocks,” showed the romance between Orbi and Kat beginning to hit the skids.  Kat devoted herself instead to her craft and her music and tattoo extravaganza, MUSINK (which, in real time, actually took place from February 22-24).  Meanwhile, also in last week's finale offering, Hannah and Corey collaborated on a client's tattoo tribute to his mother.

Kat wrote about the said season-ending installment on her My Space page, a few days ahead of its broadcast.

“Man!  It's so crazy to finally get to this Season's Finale,” the LA Ink star wrote.  “For those of you who've watched along the way, you know how much of an emotional roller coaster it's been!”

For the most part, Kat wrote about MUSINK being featured on the episode, recalling the highlights of her first ever foray into a music and tattoo event.  She did not make any mention of sequences depicting the demise of her relationship with Orbi.
