The Miami Herald is reporting that the three-season old tattoo reality series “Miami Ink” won’t return to TLC next season:

Ami James said he and co-star Chris Nuñez declined to extend Discovery Communications’ option to order more episodes of the TLC show after the network delayed signing them on for another season. He said no talks are under way to shoot more episodes of their lives as South Beach tattoo artists.

”We weren’t happy with the way we were treated,” James said Monday. “I will never work for Discovery again.”

He complained the network did not promote the show properly, particularly when it moved Miami Ink from Tuesday night to Thursday night this season.

Perhaps the tiff came after Kat Von D, one of the stars of “Miami Ink,” left the show to launch her own series, “LA Ink,” which doubled the ratings of the original. Regardless, we’ve enjoyed the series and will be sad to see it go. Its final 12 episodes are airing now on TLC.
