LOS ANGELES (June 16, 2021) – AXS TV announced today that the Network has acquired all 84 episodes of the popular tattoo artist reality series LA Ink from Discovery, Inc. The program is set to take over the 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT slot of AXS TV’s popular “Sunday Night Rocks” block on July 11, joining the star-studded music-themed countdown series The Top Ten Revealed at 8 p.m. ET and the insightful profile series A Year In Music, hosted by GRAMMYÒ-winning Halestorm front woman Lzzy Hale, at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Originally airing from 2007 to 2011, LA Ink captured pop culture phenom Kat Von D as she left Miami behind to open her own tattoo shop, High Voltage, in Los Angeles.
