If I could be on a television show to showcase my talent, what would it be? Dancing with the Stars? Top Chef (that would be Chris). American Idol, no way. Singing Bee? Possibly. America's Next Top Model? I couldn't stand the heat or the catty competition or being bossed around. The Apprentice wouldn't let me in the door and I would pay money to NOT be on Survivor or Amazing Race. I need my food and I'm such a wuss. When people speak of "pain threshold" I honestly believe I was born with the most non functioning one.
But LA Ink? Oh, I could so hang with those gals! Could I tattoo anyone to save my arse? No, but after I saw Steve-O do a tattoo, I know that I could do one. I would sign up to be shop janitor, floor mopper and bathroom scrubber to be on that show.
The tattoo talent is sick, especially Corey's work. I love the fact that it shows every one of the artists as human, even if they look different. Or if you might be scared of their clothes, hair and such. They have families. They love their kids and their parents. They are obsessed with their art. They have to make a living like everyone else.
The stories behind their client's tattoos slay me. I'm always crying at some point in the show. Especially the tattoos that honor the deceased, since that is right up my alley. Did you see the one with the guy that had his little daughters portrait done? She died when she was two from a genetic disorder~TEARS!!!
If I only had the balls to get more tattoos! but, I've started with one and you have to start someplace! Whenever I watch, I'm mesmerized by the beauty, style and individuality of these women. I can't take my eyes off of the screen. And their friendship and loyalty to each other is inspiring.
If you haven't yet seen the show, check it out. You'll be wanting to channel your inner Kat Von D. AND, if Chris and I ever have another girl, we would seriously consider naming her Pixie. Not after the show, but we liked it from years ago. My mom vetoed it since she said it sounded like a stripper name. She's out ranked if there is a next time!
Hey Kelly ~ can you photo shop me into the above pic for my christmas present??

I love LA Ink too.
However I don't have any cable anymore. :(
On our anniversary, we vegged out and watched that show for like four hours straight (it was a marathon I guess?). We loved it!
I always wanted a tattoo of Rosie the Riveter.
I am also a lover of LA Ink. I never thought I'd be into a TV show about a tatoo parlor, but it's very entertaining!
If we ever have our little girls weekend like we have chattered about, we are SOOOOOOO getting tats! All of us. Wouldn't that be so cool?
I'm psyched. What's everyone getting?
Love that show. My hubby and I watch it all the time. I think Kat is just awesome and quite pretty. We watched her when she was on the other show--Miami ink. Love that show.
Christy :)
