We always knew Shawn was a star but now it’s official. This Tuesday night, April 24th, Shawn Barber will appear on the hit TLC series Miami Ink.

Among other topics the episode features a segment on Shawn’s staggeringly beautiful portrait of prominent tattoo artist, celebrity and series regular Kat von D (who purchased the portrait for her private collection). While we have not seen an edit of the episode, we understand that they are focusing on the process involved in making the piece as well as its exhibition in the Art Basel Miami Beach 2006 show We’ll Make A Lover Of You curated by Francesco LoCastro and Juxtapoz.

Tune in this coming Tuesday night to see for yourself. TLC runs two one-hour episodes back to back and we don’t know which Shawn will appear in so you’d better watch both!
