Ass Tattoo

I guess it's a matter of opinion. Tattoo Shows are growing every season - I have to admit, I usually watch only 2 on a regular basis - Miami Ink and LA Ink so most of this discussion will refer to them. When I first heard that Miami Ink was going to start, I pictured a different show. I thought (and hoped) that would be sixty minutes of non-stop tattooing. I don't know about most people, but I can watch someone tattoo for hours. How the picture develops, the hand movements, the colors of ink and the end resulting from using the colors. So, for personal preference, I was disappointed on that level. So, to deal, I tape them and fast forward through the talky part and just watch the tattoos. I don't care about the partying and drinking after hours craziness.

As far as the plus side, I believe theses shows satisfy the curiosity of people that have never gotten a tattoo or even visited a decent shop. I believe it takes some of the mystery away and expanded the horizon for people that were contemplating a tattoo but had never progressed from there. These shows might help them make their decision or take action to "just do it"!
