Tattoo artist Kim Saigh has become a familiar face to the fans of the TLC reality television series LA Ink. Like her co-workers and fellow cast members, she has become a minor boob tube celebrity thanks to the show, yet she also credits it with helping her overcome her innate shyness. Saigh has also stated that being on LA Ink has given her insight and "profound understanding" into the nature of humanity itself. During an interview with the Ventura County Star, the tattoo artist opened up about what she thought of people in general. She has stated her belief that everybody has quite a bit in common, and everyone arguably comes from a similar place in life. Saigh further explained that she believed people were differentiated by how they did things, or how they let things affect them. The underlying wants and needs of people, however, remain the same in her view. She applies this philosophy to her tattoo designs and artistic style, which also draw on other various genres. Among these are religious icons, art nouveau, Eastern and Oriental designs, coupled with classic fairy tales. For Saigh, the process of doing a tattoo is an intimate ritual which forms a bond between client and artist. She is already considered a veteran of the body art industry, still remaining the owner of her own tattoo parlor located in Chicago, called the Cherry Bomb. Of her work as a tattoo expert, Saigh has further asserted that every body artist holds the responsibility of altering someone's body and helping them through a major change. Even as she still owns and helps manage the Cherry Bomb, Saigh continues to appear and work on LA Ink with her fellow cast members, Kat Von D, Hannah Aitchison, and Pixie Acia. Saigh, Acia and Aitchison were all recruited for the High Voltage Tattoo parlor by Kat Von D.
