I've only had one tattoo in my life, which is an angel on my ankle. I got it in the pink district in Mexico with an ink that is said to be not available in the US. It's a beautiful blue that I often get compliments on. I've thought about getting other tattoos but haven't just had the time or motivation, I guess. But I found this to be an interesting show. The bad tattoos are
entertaining oand the cover-ups are very artistic. My only complaint is that there's just too much filler. We see too much of the two guys, who I can't tell if there are a couple or just friends, with virtually the same dialogue just over and over in each show and not enough of the actual tattoos are shown. It's like watching a cooking show where the host talks too much - much of it irrelevant - and finally the dish is complete but we see only a few seconds of it after all that invested time. I understand that it is something taught in the entertainment industry, that you want to just tease the viewer long enough to leave them wanting more. But there's a limit to what your audience will put up with. You need to, at some point, give them a full meal not just little nibbles.
I think it's about a 20 minute run time per episode without commercials, and you get two bad tattoos and two cover-ups in that one episode. But the fillers with showing a bunch of people on the Las Vegas strip and hearing the guys bantering back and forth takes up at least 15 minutes. We don't see any of the conceptualization or drawing prior to the cover-up although we do hear a lot about what brought the client to get such a bad tattoo.
So cool concept, interesting and entertaining to a point. I'd probably rather just flip through a before and after album.
