Plot Synopsis

Ami James of MIAMI INK has left South Beach and now he's starting a new tattoo parlor in New York City, which means he has to get a new shop, hire a new crew and face a whole new set of problems. To help ensure the shop's success, he has invited some of the best artists in the business to join his team. But this time Ami's place is much more than a tattoo parlor, it's more like a social club with a gallery space, coffee shop and a downstairs boxing gym. TLC aired the Season 3 premiere of NY INK on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT. Billy did not return for the show's third season after settling down with his family in his wife's hometown.
