Miami Ink

While my mom finds this particular TLC show quite gruesome, I find Miami ink a very engrossing show. I am not the rock-star type of gal. I don’t even have a tattoo.(and I don’t plan on having one)

What makes this show interesting is the stories behind the tattoos that people are getting. I like the episode where this guy got a tattoo which says “He ain’t heavy he’s my brother”. The guy (I forgot the name) has a brother who is psychologically impaired, but he still loves his sibling as he is. He says that he got the tattoo to show his brother that he doesn’t consider him as a burden, and is not, and will never be, ashamed of his brother. Heck, that episode got me all teary-eyed!

Aside from that, I also love looking at the finished tattoos. Although I could never have enough guts to have one, I will always enjoy looking at other people’s tattoos. The crew of Miami Ink are really talented. This show is worth watching!
