Tattoo TV Shows

Are you watching Miami Ink? When I had the comments open at the old movable type blog, many readers were fawning over the show. To be honest, I wondered how many of those comments were for real. I tend to think it was was one tattoo TV show’s publicity department, battling it out with the other.

Both shows are pretty good, but my favorite tattoo TV show is Miami Ink. Allow me to introduce you to the show’s star, Ami James:

The tough guy. Ami has a sharp tongue and a hot temper. Born in Israel, Ami, 33 and single, has been in Miami since the age of 12. Some of his family still lives in Israel, so he rarely sees them-his friends have become his family. He feels that many of today’s artists have no respect for the time-honored traditions of tattoo.

Ami got his first professional tattoo at age 15 - a dragon. Eighteen years later, he still has a passion for ink - his body is a canvas of tattoos. Ami began tattooing at 20 years old, starting out of his house, and soon became an apprentice, learning the art of his trade.

Ami loves cars, painting and free-style fighting.

I like freestyle fighting too. I wonder if Ami trains at this Freestyle Fighting Academy in Miami, FL.
