bad tattoos..

I got 4 "jailhouse" tats, the colors hella faded to a light blueish grey and the lines look all off, but they still have meaning and invoke memories. I have two studio tats that are pretty nice, and definitely plan on getting more. That guy Nunez from Miami ink used to own a shop right next to this record store in Baltimore I used to go by..

TLC is the one that set up the whole 'blow up' between Kat and Ami on Miami Ink. They wanted her to have her own show because she was the most popular and they thought it would make good drama for the show if it appeared she just took off.

She admits that it was all staged just like the rest of 'reality tv'.

Kat is an awesome person (met her at a tattoo convention) and I'd love to have some work done by her if I ever have the extra money.

The first tattoo I got when I turned 18 was a kanji symbol on my ankle. It was done quite poorly, and only now that it's been filled in fully black does it look sort of ok. I have another kanji symbol on my back and it looks fantastic -- the lines are precise and thin, you can tell the artist took his time to make sure it was... Unlike my ankle, which is overly thick and indistinct.

And btw I think Kat is a badass chick and I can't wait to see her on LA ink! I know it's all reality tv set up the way they had her 'open her own shop', but there is something seriously addicting about watching people get tattoos done, and I bet it will be an interesting contrast to Miami Ink.

Miami Ink is petty awesome. I love how the world can get a look into a real working tattoo shop. It is not all fun and games; like any workplace, people have tiffs, get aggrevated and slack off. :)
Mark and i are really striving to open a shop of our own around here eventually. For now, he keeps his property management biz but tatts on the weekends (fri-sat.)
Kat is awesome. her portraits put most others to shame. I figured that the drama was staged; it Is reality TV, not reality. :)

jen,

do you really think that even the untrained eye can't tell a bad tat from a good one? besides beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

before i even had my first tat, i could tell if someone's tat had bad lines, bad colour/shading... and if their tat looked like an ink blot test LOL

*very nice offer jen*

love ya girl,
aleesha

what i would give (if i could) for a portrait by kat!!!!:bow:
