Tattoo à refaire

Its quick and lighthearted enough that there isn't really that much to say about it. It doesn't go too much into detail about the tatoo's and the artists. And the persons and personalities are also kept on a down low. So it's just a quick cover up, a few jokes here and there, and done.

6/10: quick and simple.

I thoroughly enjoyed bingeing this show. It was really satisfying to see ugly tattoos transformed into great tattoos. A lot of the reviews on here are kinda missing the point or somewhat inaccurate. The tattoos weren't that redundant or "generic". What people may perceive as "generic" are actually traditional styles of tattoos (ie Japanese) which people in the tattoo community value. The artists are all amazing and these tattoos often represent large sums of money worth of work (ie large pieces with a lot of ink taking several hours & high end artists can charge up to $300/hr) which probably a lot of the guests could not afford without this show. So in that sense it was really providing an opportunity to get something that greatly improved people's self confidence and quality of life. The reactions, relationships, and stories were genuine and really sweet. If you like looking at nice tattoos, this is a light and pleasureable watch.

The show itself is a decent way to burn some time. The premise is interesting. Still haven't made up my mind about this one.

But there is 1 thing thing drives me up the wall. The dreadlocked guy in the intro who calls it a tattoo gun. It's a machine, not a gun.

Yes I gave it a six. But let's be honest, this is not a classic. Does that mean it's not entertaining? Of course not. It's entertaining, easy to watch and binge worthy. Well worth a watch if tattoos are your thing.

Enjoy!

So the idea of the show is that people regret having gotten tattoos that were often influenced by others, and now they get a coverup that somebody else decides. Seems not like the smartest decision. And more often than not the person making the decision doesn't know the other person very well. So you can tell that they often don't like the results of their coverups. But for the sake of the show they have to pretend they do.

You don't get to learn much about tattooing and the shown tattoos are fairly generic.
