LA Ink

Tomorrow on TLC's LA Ink, Pixie undergoes laser tattoo removal in preparation for a very important, new design.  Meanwhile, Kat taps her sister to be her personal assistant and goes on to plan a surprise, with some added assistance from Tom Green.  Tomorrow's LA Ink installment is called “New Beginnings.”

Last week, on the episode entitled “Kat's Clean Up,” Kat Von D made the difficult decision to clean up her act and move in with her boyfriend, Orbi.  Orbi had just returned from touring, when Kat decided to share living space with him on the fly.  Unfortunately, her partying went out of hand, which led the LA Ink star to rethink her lifestyle.

A day before last week's episode went on broadcast, Kat Von D wrote a lengthy and candid message on her MySpace blog, about confronting the monkey that had been on her back.

“Man!  Never in a million years did I think I would ever make the conscious decision to quit drinking.. but the past few months of being hangover-free, and clear headed have definitely been a godsend,” Kat said at the beginning of her post.  “I'm trying to keep a constant line of communication with everyone, especially regarding upcoming episodes, as a lot of the ones in Season 2 tend to be more on the more personal and more sensitive side.. (aside from some RAD tattoos, of course).  Tomorrow's episode.. it's where I go sober.”

She went on to say how she realized that the volume of tequila she had been downing on a daily basis was certainly no longer just for partying and recreation.

“Looking back now at the high amount of tequila I was consuming in a 24 hour period, I definitely wasn't drinking to "party" anymore,” Kat wrote.  “It was more of a way for me to cope with the real issues at hand, that I hadn't been dealing with.”
