After Miami Ink (2004–2008) ended, James moved to New York City in 2011 to fulfill his dream of opening a tattoo studio which he named the Wooster St. Social Club. He was joined again by producers David Roma and Charlie Corwin to detail the proceedings in the shop on NY Ink. The series follows the events of the tattoo artist Ami James and his new shop, the Wooster St. Social Club tattoo studio in New York City, New York. The series intro is narrated by James: I'm Ami James and I'm a tattoo artist. New York is the greatest city in the world. And to compete here, you have to elevate the game. So I've hand-picked the finest tattoo artists around. Because I don't want the best tattoo shop in New York, I want the best shop in the world. There's millions of stories in New York City, and our job is to tell them all... in ink.
