Kat Von D's LA Ink wasn't permanent.
The reality show centering around Jesse James' ex-fiancee and her work at High Voltage Tattoo in West Hollywood has been canceled. TLC told Us Weekly in a statement that the "current season of LA Ink will be its last."

"The network is proud of what the series has accomplished in its four seasons, following Kat Von D's journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles," TLC said.
von D said that the decision to end the show was her own. "I love how me deciding not to continue doing LA Ink turns into [the show] being 'cancelled,'" she tweeted. "Thanks, TLC. Regardless of everything, I remain grateful."
Just last month the reality star, 29, and James, 42, called off their engagement. In an episode of LA Ink that aired just two days after announcing the split, von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) got Sandra Bullock's ex-hubby's face tattooed on her body.

In a Facebook post last month, von D admitted the past year -- which included her house burning down and the loss of her beloved cat -- had been a tough one. "As much as I'd like to picture [myself] being this strong, independent woman, the truth is most of the time I'm not as strong as I'd like to be," she said. "But I'm still trying."

The series finale of LA Ink will air Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. EST.

Best of luck to you, Kat...I loved your show and your staff. You are awesome! I wish you the best in business and love...
I think Kat is beautiful. It's a shame that she won't be doing her LA Ink anymore I loved that show.. I wish her and her staff the best of luck..Take care Kat..
Saw the show a few times. One thing I will say, she is quite the artist.
Now she's trying to say she is the one who wanted to quit the show? I guess she is once again tryin to save face. Wonder if they will now bring American Electric back in?
that sucks
Karma is a wonderful Thing!!!!
I'm glad her show got cancelled. She's a ungrateful bi*ch anyways. Left most of the people who helped her climb her way up!
her and Jesse are back together
HA HA HA...Karma's a biotch, huh?
Wow! I wonder if TLC is going to be cancellig any other shows. I'm glad that Kate Plus 8 got the ax, but this one is a shocker!
She can thank her bad taste in men for this. Amazing what women will risk just for an idiot like Jesse James. No man would put his career on the line for a woman.
good cuz after that guttertroll screwed over Cory who left his business to help hers i was done. That man was a good guy and she had to no right to treat him the way she did. screw high voltage tattoo and screw that poser kat, im glad her show got cancelled
Aww man, love that show!!!
It's a shame to see LA Ink go
