They were both on last night at the same time and I was flipping back and forth. I believe a new ep of Inked is on tonight. Since I'm finally caught up on Inked I can now say I love them both.

Mocha, I remember asking in another thread if anyone on here watched Inked. Now a thread has finally started! I never thought I would care for a show like Inked; but I must admit that I've caught the past few shows when repeated and found it pretty interesting.

I think I would love to work as a receptionist in this shop, it would be so interesting. I love Thomas and Carey.

I was wondering why there wasn't a thread for these shows. I figured no one was watching.

What I don't like about Inked is that the episodes seem to focus on an issue - as opposed to chronologically progressing. (I'm probably not explaining what I mean well)
Like one episode focused on the flaky receptionist, and at the end she quit and we found out Monica (the Manager) was in a car accident.
Next episode the flaky receptionist was still there at the begining, and Monica was there with no mention of the car accident - just her relationship with Tomas (the co-owner/manager).

Also, if you notice, Thomas has a big tattoo on his neck during certain scenes - and not in others. Proof that this show is edited out of timeline.

So far I really like Miami Ink.

But i mainly watch both shows to check out the tattoos. I love the artwork and craftsmanship. Plus I'm trying to get ideas for the next one I want.

I think with Inked they're showing stuff out of order cause I was wondering bout the timeline too.

Miami Ink vs Inked

Hands down... Miami Ink

Just dont care for the drama bs involved in Inked, maybe I was asking for too much, but the content of the show isn't so much about tattoos as it is about the drama around the shop. I want to see people in action, getting work down and the process, which Miami Ink does a much better job of

I just checked out Inked's website and they only show 2 eps on their summary thing. Now I know I've seen more than 2 eps lol.

Black, I agree that there's more drama with Inked but that's the part I like as well as watching the one girl who was a chatterbox and then passed out while getting her bat tattoo. That was funny. Oh and the mom getting the butterfly tatt brought tears to my eyes.

But I also like the people on Miami Ink like the apprentice, Yoshi I think his name is. Poor man having a baby and doesn't have a paying job, now that's drama lol.

I definitely prefer Miami Ink. Besides them focusing on the tattoo artistry itself - you also really get to know the people. I think they achieved a nice balance with this show. I love seeing the artwork they hand design. I'm tempted to go to Miami to get a tattoo

I love Miami Ink. I live in Miami and I am so tempted to find their shop and visit. I just want them to know how much I enjoy each of them.

I'm too scared to get a tattoo but I have a much better appreciation for the art.

I love Avi(is that his name?)'s desk but it either needs to be higher or he needs a shorter chair. I loved the pirate ship the dark haired girl got but it was so big. And the carp was kool too.

I don't have a tattoo, but my DH has one on his upper arm. I really like Miami Ink. It gives me an appreciation for the art as well. I haven't ever really wanted to get a tattoo, but that pirate ship was pretty stellar - borderline inspirational (although I would only ever get a tiny one.)

His name is "Ami": ( from the TLC website )

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 tattooing.

His Koi work is fantastic. (and everything else I've seen him do ). That fact that he did that one FREEHAND! Drew it right on the guy - no tracing first or anything!


btw - I've pretty much given up on Inked. If I'm channel surfing and it's on, I'll check it out, but no longer TIVO it.

I got a tattoo about 7 years ago. Nothing big or spectacular, but I still really like it. No regrets.

I really liked the experience and while I was receiving it, I was looking through flashart books to get ideas for the next one. I absolutely understand how people become addicted to it!

I haven't gotten another one - yet, but that's only because I haven't been able to find exactly what I want. But after watching Miami Ink, I'm dying to go there and have one of them design something for me...

let's go Mocha!

Better book an appointment now because I'm sure at this point they are pretty booked up. :-)

Ami doesn't do small tats. They'd charge you an arm and a leg to do your entire arm or leg. Lol

Lol they were talking to a pig shank. That was just hysterical. Yoji has so much ink on his body I'm surprised he's still an apprentice.

I am still enjoying Miami Ink so much I wanted to bump this up so other people may see it and then watch the show. If I ever get back to Miami ( I live there but leave during the hurricane season) I am definitely going to Miami Ink and tell the guys how great the show is!

I was wondering if this really was a real tattoo shop. Hopefully one of you will check it out and see. I love Miami Ink, and think one of the guys is really cute (the one who is getting tattooed by his mother - Chris?). Love the new girl too.

Don't have any ink but enjoy watching other people's concepts turned into body art.

In the Miami Herald there is a section about what movies and commercials are being filmed in Miami. For the past few weeks, they have mentioned Miami Ink. I finally checked the TLC website and there will be new episodes starting in January!!

OK, I admit it, I am obsessed with this show!!!

Rox, there was a marathon?? I missed it. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

I'm going to the Beach today and I'm trying to figure out how to convince my friend that we need to hit Washington avenue. She'll think I am nuts if I tell her I want to go to a tattoo parlor. (people here are much more understanding!!)
