It is, as we're sure you'll agree, a travesty and a disappointment that Soho only has one retail establishment based on a popular reality TV show. Luckily for all of us, TLC plans to open New York Ink, the location for a new Miami Ink spin-off, not far from the Kardashians' shop Dash. It'll take over 43 Wooster between Broome and Grand starting in March.

The show, about body art experts and their customers, also has locations in places like LA and London. Casting calls began popping up this fall looking for both tattoo artists and people who want to get inked. According to Reality Blurred, one of those ads specified no pay for store employees, but who needs pay when you've got the deep personal sense of fulfillment that comes from managing a tattoo parlor on national TV?
