Tonight's March 11 episode of TLC's "LA Ink" features Soulja Boy, the self-proclaimed superstar and rapper who comes a'calling to Kat Von D's tattoo parlor.

Soulja has never had a "female" do his ink, and at first seems trepidatious.

He has Kat ink the back of his left hand with his last name "Way" so that when the two hands are joined, they would spell his name.  Because Soulja is always thinking.

Soulja, who has an opus already tattooed up his neck and numerous body parts already, is also festooned with diamonds and large watches a la Flavor Flav.

During the inking, Kat who is not too sure of who Soula is, exactly, asked him about how he claimed his fame. Soulja told her that he was famous through the internet first before he released a debut album.

Also in the Thursday, March 11 episode, the planning of a party at the shop puts Kat in the middle of feuding Adrienne and Liz. Aubry debates about removing her LA Ink tattoo.  Meanwhile, shop managers battle over party planning details.
