NY Ink A Great New Reality Show

Tommy Montoya of NY Ink

NY Ink is my new favorite reality show. It's more than a reality show, it's a look into the tough world of being a struggling tattoo artist. Ami James the owner of NY Ink (a spin off of Miami Ink) and an accomplished tattoo artist himself has a very talented staff at his new shop in Soho NY.

NY Ink Staff Is:

Ami James
Chris Torrez
Tim Hendricks
Billy DeCola
Tommy Montoya
Robear Chinosi
Megan Massacre
Jessica Gahring

On the show there is a lot of drama and a lot of talent and a lot of testosterone all mixed into one. The amount of talent these artists have makes up for the fighting and bickering that go on on the show. Often there are big fights and you are sure that one of them is either going to get fired or quit.

There are a few episodes that are very sad like for instance when Cory Taylor of Slipknot gets a tattoo of his longtime friend and band mate Paul Grey, it's hard to watch because all of Cory's feelings of the loss of his friend come out while getting a tattoo of him on his calf.

Here is a link to the TLC website where you can catch up on some of the episodes and get air times for the next shows...

Kat Von-D Tattoo-Guinness Of Record

Kat Von D of LA Ink is attempting to set a new Guinness World Record today by doing the most tattoos in a 24 hour period. Kat will attempt to tattoo 400 people on a first come first serve basis. She will ink only one design that is set to Guinness regulations, no less than 2.25 x 2 inches and it consists of only two colors. The tattoo Kat chose is a red and black LA logo, which will set customers back $20. The proceeds will be donated to Vitamin Angels, which “provides supplements to developing countries and communities that are in dire nutritional need.” Kat’s tattoo shop, High Voltage, is closed today to regular customers, and the World record attempt is being filmed as part of LA Ink’s second season. See more photos after the jump.

Kat Von D (born Katherine Drachenberg, March 8, 1982), is an American tattoo artist and television personality. She is best known for her work as a tattoo artist on the TLC reality television show LA Ink, which premiered August 7, 2007 in the United States and November 11, 2007 in the UK.

i've read the yelps, i know ya'll don't care much for her...but this is world record stuff!
here's the copy and paste

So, we have been talking about setting the record for the most tattoos done in a 24 hour period by one person, since the Miami Ink days, and FINALLY we are gonna do it, here, in Los Angeles, at my tattoo shop!

HERE ARE THE RULES Guinness sent us:

1. Each tattoo is to measure a minimum of 1.25 x 3 inches.
2. Each tattoo must have a minimum of 2 colors.
3. The attempt must be overseen by 2 independent persons, with experience in tattoo techniques. Only tattoos satisfying these 2 judges count towards the total.
4. The event is continuos. Rest breaks may be taken at will, but THE CLOCK DOES NOT STOP.
5. The record is not limited to 1 tattoo per person. (so you can get more than 1 tattoo)
6. Theres is no restriction on the location of each tattoo.
7. The total should not include any tattoo not completed at the end of the time period.
8. All people getting tattooed must be 18 with ID.

So with that in mind, I'm gonna be doing an "LA" tattoo logo that was approved by Guinness, on anyone who wants to be a part of this!!

I'M INVITING ALL OF YOU WHO ARE DOWN TO GET THIS TATTOO, TO COME HELP ME SET THIS WORLD RECORD!

I'm gonna be doing the tattoos for $20, just to cover costs of material, and its gonna be on a first come first serve basis! (No appointments, JUST SHOW UP!)
