The theme song is Funky Kingston by Toots and the Maytals.

Otherwise, you've pretty much covered it, fiesty!

ONE MORE TIP:

This forum comes with a handy dandy "Find" feature (equipped with stylish magnifying glass). You can use this find feature to type in a search term. Please use it. It's swell.

Q:Where do i find a tattoo that saw on the show??

A:On the person's body you dolt. have an artist draw up a custom peice for you. that's what they are there for.

Garver and Kat also work out of True Tattoo in LA. They can be reached at truetattoo.net or at katvond.net.

Thanks to everyone for adding to the list!

I actually asked mod-ivy once if there was a list of trigger words available, and there isn't. But apparently "f@iry fatigue" is one of them.

(Who needs a wedding, lady? )

Q. When will Kat be on the show?

A. Feb. 7

Q: Where can I find pictures of (fill in the blank) tattoo that was done on the show last night?

A: Not here, unless the person who had it done chose to post pics.

Q: Who is Schmeckel?

Answer: Yet to be Announced... Ladies are waiting patiently for now...LOL

Perfect description of Schmeckel:
An intellectual.
An artist.
A person who believes that brevity is the soul of wit.
A person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.

Yes, I have spent time with monks.
Yes, I have met a woman. Sadly, it didn't work out. She didn't know what Bhagavad Gita is.

does anyone know where the sharp knives & loud guns shirts are from, know thats kinda random but i really like them so anything would help. thanks.

The link provided above shall give you all the answers one needs.

thanks alot didnt even notice that one haha.

Does anyone know what the price point starts at to get Tattooed @ miami ink...or how they charge?

I suggest you use the contact information listed above to find out.

Q. What kind of watch does Ami wear?

A. Breitling

Q: Does getting a tattoo hurt?

A: Yes...Duh

Q: I want to be an artist, what do I do?
A: Contact a local shop and seek an apprenticeship. There is no other way to be a legit artist these days.


Q: I want a tattoo by x artist, here is my email, please contact me
A: They won’t contact you. They are too busy. If they were to contact everyone who wants a tattoo by them, they would be emailing 24/7


Q: I know about Garver and True Tattoo, but where does Darren work at?
A: Brass City Tattoo in Connecticut. Although not sure how long he will be there for, as he has hinted at moving to Miami permanently. http://www.brasscitytattoo.com/


Q: How much does a tattoo cost?
A: Artists almost never give a price quote on the phone (or the net). It all depends on the size and level of detail required. They typically charge per hour, and GOOD artists will typically charge from $90 - $200 per hour.


Q: My tattoo is healing weird. It has xyz problem, what do I do?
A: Call the artist who did the tattoo and ask them about it. Go in and see them if you need to. Every skin type is different and will react in a different way to ink and needles. While there are certain guidelines to healing, your artist should know what is right for you and your tattoo


PS - I would love to keep this thread as clean as possible. Lets try to only have actual Questions with Answers in here. Don't talk about random things and if you have a question, ask it in your own thread. This way, Q&A will be much easier to find.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out! Maybe you'd have better luck dating in India!

lol

Maybe.

What kind of eyeglasses does Darren wear? The non-sunglass pair!

Ok the sign on the wall says "Ask us about piercing" So I'm asking, do they plan to film a piercing? Can TLC do that?
It bugs me that cable TV blurbs the cuss words. Opps i digress just answer the real question and ignore my chatter.
Thanks

Smarti -
I downloaded Funky Kingston from iTunes but it sounds nothing like the Miami Ink theme. I know that the show's credits say "Funky Kingston" but is there something wrong here?

jmadison - they may have re-recorded it or edited for the show. I don't know all the details, I just know that's what the song is. Sorry!

I am assuming the cost of a tat done by one of the Miami Ink Guys is outta sight. Anyone know?

I have heard that its like $200 minimum even for the small tiny tattoo but that could be wrong (Rumors)...I'm sure you will pay more there than down the street at Lou's.

DOES KAT REALLY WORK AT TRUE TATTOO DOWN HERE IN LA??? CUZ I REALLY WANNA GET A TAT DONE BY HER REAL BAD!!!!

Better answer is -- a really good artist will quote you on a piece, not on a hourly basis.

Courtesy of babytrippy's detective work, the Geisha/anime artist is Junko Mizuno. The link goes to her website, and this is the geisha.

Unless I missed it, please tell me that someone put down that the girl crying is done by mark ryden.

Yep, it's there. It's one of the first things I entered in the original post...for good reason

However, I did just go in and idiot-proof it for the people who are STILL asking

The Johnny Depp looking musician is Diablo Dimes and there's the link:

The website with the Geisha Girl tattoo that Darren Brass did - there's the link

Sorry to be a repeater, just seems like it needs to be posted every other time I get on this site.

Funky Kingston - with Bootsy Collins and The Roots
from "True Love"

Just got a tat at miami ink. They are very pricey, but when you want the very best......

Katya (sp?) did my tat, and I love it! She should be on the show sometime!

How did the whole "walk-in" thing workout? How pricey is pricey?

about 3-4 times what I expected, compared to my local artist

Did you have an appt or did you "walk-in"? That's my big concern...do you walk-in and actually get the tatt or do you walk-in and get told to come back another day. How would you rate that?

I suggest you ask this in a new thread since this is an area for finding info instead of asking questions. I believe I've heard that Ami and Yoji worked at New York Adorned, but don't take my word for it.

I walked in, waited a few minutes and filled out paperwork. Within 30 minutes, I had met the artist. About an hour later, the design was ready (I brought a difficult one).

Within 2 1/2-3 hours from walking in the door, I was done. About 1 hr 45 mins spent actually tattooing.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

This page has a lot of pics from the show:
