Hey everyone..
 
There is a programme that is recently out (well in South Africa atleast) on the Discovery channel that documents Miami ink.
 
I was wondering who all watches it and what your views and opinions are of the programme and the tattoo artists on the show.
 
peace

I use to watch the re-runs late at night when I couldn't sleep.

I like the show fair enough. Sometimes I don't really care for all the coverage of the drama that goes on between the shop members.

For some reason I prefer the new show, L.A. ink.

I like it because it's about something I love- ie tattooing.

The artists seem pretty good, but then I don't have much knowledge in that department. It annoys me when they pick on Yoji though.

i ust to watch it but the amount of fakeness going on in the program like many other american programs just pissed me off to much.

 every single tattoo shown had a meaning behind it. what? does no one in miami go and get at tattoo purely because they like that it?

and one more thing. im not 100%sure on this thing but i will go by what the credits say. the names used in the show (for most of them) arnt their real names. wtf is up with that?

i agree with that. it also annoys me a bit that some people blatantly only go on that show because they want to promote themselves - not because they want a tattoo.

the show is alright, i quite like it. but i only watch it if nothing else is on.
well i might have somethin' to say about that, space man!

If I'm getting my facts straight, I think the tattoos there cost quite a bit of money - even for very small designs. So to me, it would seem pointless for someone just coming in looking for Flash, or a tattoo just for fun to go there, especially if there are other qualified artists in the area.

I also imagine that they don't show all their customers on the show, so probably they only show that tattoos that will make for an interesting episode.

i agree completely.

almost every one that goes in there gets a sad sappy tattoo
I remember thinking 'Jesus, what a terrible thing to lay on someone with a head full of acid'

Look, there's two women fucking a polar bear!
