Ami and three world-class tattoo artists open a tattoo shop in South Beach called Miami Ink. The four men, along with their apprentice Yoji, attempt to build a thriving business based on their extraordinary art.

The men of the shop experience the stress of starting their own business & balancing their personal life at the same time. From filling their client's emotional needs, to an artists' proposal, the whole shop is overjoyed at their growing family.

Ami James & the Miami Ink crew deal with a heavy dose of loss, transformation & relationships from the past, present & future. Yoji and his fiancé Bridgette get married on the beach, with the sun setting into the ocean; even Ami almost sheds a tear.

The week begins as business in the shop picks up and Ami feels as though the other guys in the shop aren't pulling their weight. Meanwhile the steady stream of customers brings some new and interesting stories.

Yoji learns the hard way that he has a long way to go before the guys let him tattoo for real. The shop has a constant flow of clients & characters, including the first return customer; A former Skid Row band member gets tattooed with his kids names.

Yoji puts Bridgette on a plane to New York where she'll give birth to their daughter. Bridgette can only hope that Yoji will be able to make it up there in time.

Olympic athlete Mark Zupan comes in to have Ami finish a tribal tattoo on his arm. Mark's inspirational story teaches everyone in the shop the importance of teamwork. New parents Yoji and Bridgette bring Sydney to meet the guys for the first time.
