Miami ink

Has anybody seen this show (actually it is more a documentary) Is it popular in the USA? I just love it, I really like the guys that own the tattoo place. It makes me want to tattoo myself, but i'm afraid I'd get bored of anything I would tattoo on myself, besides I HATE needdles!.

*swoon* over Ami James!!!!!

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:10pm

"swoon"?

chelly on Jul 06 '07 at 1:11pm

i like that show but i'm not allowed to watch it because of all the hunka burning loves that will break my heart

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:12pm

"hunka burning loves"?

OMG! I'm lost today :S

lunchboxbrain on Jul 06 '07 at 1:12pm

great show. i wonder how much they charge...

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:12pm

OK, first you ask if "Miami" is popular in the US and now you question my word swoon.

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:13pm

I think it's expensive, once a guy said he sold his car to get a huge tattoo in the back. The guys are really good, though.

chelly on Jul 06 '07 at 1:14pm

(the guys on the show are handsome)

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:14pm

Canadian, I asked if Miami INK was popular in US.
And swoon means nothing to me,alfawegcr

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:15pm

hehe, chelly, I like the bold one, he's sexy even if I like hairy men (I mean in their heads!)

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:16pm

OK, yes it is a top show.

Swoon is what girls do over rock stars etc. Like passing out.

Ami James is a HUNKA HUNKA burnin' LOVE!

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:17pm

And Ami is the bald one! Yay!

squintygirl on Jul 06 '07 at 1:18pm

I used to watch it, but only because of Kat Von D. Now that she's gone, I have no real interest anymore, besides Chris Garver.

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:19pm

Yoshi cracks me up... did you watch them play tennis the other night?

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:19pm

She's gone??? I'm chapters behind you guys!

Canadian, thanks for explaining, seems like we all have same male taste!

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:20pm

Where are watching it, Pentaca? yes, they are interviewing Kat's replacement over a series of shows.

They seem to working on a lot of Canadians!

squintygirl on Jul 06 '07 at 1:20pm

Kat has left the show...

...but she's getting her own show! Woo hoo!

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:22pm

I'm in Spain.

Kat is from NY, isn't she? In the last chapter I saw she was planning on leaving but then her friends came and she decided she was going to stay.

I used to watch it but I sort of tailed off. I HATE how they say the same thing every two minutes. "I'm getting this tattoo in honour of my father, he was in the navy... Yeah, I'm getting an anchor because my dad just died and he was a sailor... It's nautical-themed because my dad was..." seriously, shut up. I get it already.

They do it on a lot of American programmes though, so maybe you guys don't notice.

herky on Jul 06 '07 at 1:24pm

I love this show, they are incredibly talented.

canadianbeaver on Jul 06 '07 at 1:24pm

oh crap, my link did not work.

squintygirl on Jul 06 '07 at 1:24pm

She does stick around for about another season, but creative differences with some of the other guys made it awkward for her to stay. But apparently her new shop in Los Angeles is almost done and shooting for 'LA Ink' will begin soon. Hurray!

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:26pm

loserbeech, is true what you say, but still, I love to see how the guys work and the tattoos really look awesome, even if a lot of the themes are cliche

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:27pm

alright, she was from LA. creative differences? i thought they liked her style.

TylerDream on Jul 06 '07 at 1:28pm

yea kat was my favorite...
:/

FionaB on Jul 06 '07 at 1:28pm

hahah yeah I love that show!
but I dont get to see it much...

squintygirl on Jul 06 '07 at 1:31pm

They do like her style, but because she's so specialized in what she does, some of the guys thought she was being snobby by refusing to do other tattoos in styles that aren't her strengths. It was weird, especially since Ami has refused a million times to do Christian-themed tattoos, but whatever. I guess everyone will be happier, now.

Chris Garver, though, was always the gentleman, and defended her to the end. Good man!

Petanca on Jul 06 '07 at 1:33pm

I see, I think another good thing about the show is that it feels so natural, they don't act in front of the camera.

Rambunkcious on Jul 06 '07 at 1:34pm

yeah i love that show too, it always makes me jones for a tattoo really bad but im too poor to get another one

noofie on Jul 07 '07 at 12:14pm

that's like my fav show:) i always wanted to get a whale tattoo~

Christoph Jenkins on Jul 07 '07 at 5:10pm

It's one of my new favorite shows nowadays. Isn't it funny what creeps come along too? Last episodes I saw involved a devil worshiper who got a Goats head Antichrist symbol, and some 80 year old lady who wanted an identification mark in case of death by hurricane.

So weird.

squeegebeckenheim on Jul 07 '07 at 5:33pm

I love that show.

The repetitiveness annoys the crap out of me too, Nicola!

fat pigeon on Jul 07 '07 at 5:42pm

I like seeing the process of doing a tattoo from start to finish. It's cool. One day I will get a tattoo. If I ever have something printed by Threadless I will make that design my first Tattoo. HA.

Frank Vice on Jul 07 '07 at 5:47pm

This is the funny part
(taken from wikipedia)
The artists on the show are only there during tapings. In order to be tattooed by these artists, customers need to apply on TLC.com

The only time they actually do tattoos at the shop is for the show. Otherwise they don't really work together.

Christoph Jenkins on Jul 07 '07 at 5:51pm

Yeah, but I bet they get alot of applications, so they get about 3-5 days a week of it. They always say it's 'busy down at the shop', and I don;t really think they're lying.

squeegebeckenheim on Jul 07 '07 at 5:52pm

Yeah, they have other artists that work at the shop.
