High Voltage Tattoo in West Hollywood, CA. After being fired from the hit program Miami Ink due to a dispute with her fellow cast members, Kat Von D moved back to Los Angeles to open her own tattoo shop and was offered her spin off. Initially, she hired her close friend Pixie Acia to be the shop manager, and also her good friend Corey Miller as the tattoo artist. After considering many more artists for the job, Kat hired Hannah Aitchison and Kim Saigh to work for her, as well. The cameras follow her as she opens the shop, while capturing everything that unfolds in between. Each customer coming into the shop usually has a story or reason behind their tattoo. On occasion, even known celebrities make an appearance to get tattooed by Kat or one of the other artists. Inevitably, as the show progressed, changes occurred throughout the series. Kat firing Pixie at the end of season 1 and Kim and Hannah left the show after the season 2 finale. The first part of season three premiered with a new shop manager, former Rock of Love competitor Aubry Fisher but was fired by Kat at the beginning of the second part of season 3 after getting into a lot trouble with most of the people at the shop. In addition, Kat broke a Guinness world record on the show, tattooing 400 people in 24 hours, giving the money raised to charity. In season three, Nikko Hurtado can be seen as a guest artist on the show several times while Kat's sister Karoline and her brother Michael also make appearances on the show. After Aubry was fired from LA Ink, Kat hired Liz Friedman after going through several of the girl's resume who were trying out to become the new shop manager.
