Miami Ink

I've been busy watching watching a reality-type TV series called Miami Ink recently. The show revolves around 5 guys who opened a tattoo shop in (where else!) Miami. Of the 5 of them, 4 are renowned tattoo artists - Chris Garver, Ami James, Chris Nunez and Darren Brass, while Yogiro Harado is their apprentice, learning from the masters of tattoo on the art of inking.

Further into the series, the gang will be joined by yet another tattoo artist, Kat Von D. Kat's tattoo style gravitates towards realism and her tattoo style favours portraits. These fantastic people even have their tattoo gallery online and the website features tattoos from their show. Tattoo lovers, do check out: Miami Ink
You can even submit your tattoo on their website for other viewers to vote! And those living in the US can actually request to be on the show to be inked by them!! *envious* what I wouldn't give...

What I like watchin the show for the people who come in their tattoo shop to get inked. How they tell the story behind each tattoo, the reasons to why they're doing it and the reasons for what they are getting. What I like most - the way the tattoo artists crack their heads to come out with a tattoo that is perfect for the recipient, and how each tattoo is unique for each individual.

Tattoo lovers - check out the show! It's worth every minute!! :D
