Hey, does anyone one know, where is Nunez' endorsement deal? Ami designed some phone covers so why isn't the king of shoes designing some cool sneakers? I'm sure they'd be hotter than the Miami beach in the middle of August. Hellloooo, Nike...anyone??

I have had psoriasis since I was 2. I also have multiple tats, and can tell you that they will not affect your psoriasis. There is a new med out called "Olux". It's a topical foam, no smell or discoloration. You will not be able to get a tat on any affected areas; the ink will not hold. (To those who don't know, psoriasis is a skin condition that is caused by the body reproducing skin cells every 3-10 days, causing a buildup of skin cells that appear as white, scaly patches. Normal skin cells will reproduce and slough off every 28 days or so). Also, this may sound like bad advice, but it was given to me by 2 dermatoligists- start going tanning. Don't burn yourself or get all Paris Hilton orange. Go for 10 mins 3 times a week, and it will make the spots go away. Also, to those who are freaking out, it is not contagious.
So get tatted, but not on the spots. And ask about Olux. You can also go to a derm that has a UVA/UVB booth and that will help. For scalp problems, use Rx Nizoral. Hope that helps!

I have a question I watched the episode where they had the shop party and Darren Brass did a tattoo on a girl, it was grafitti and was two words made into one image that could be read from two different directions. What was the name of the type of tattoo or drawing that it was?

Like aleelopez, I would very much like to know what brand of ink Chris Garver or any of the Miami Ink TV artists use. Can anyone let me know?

Does anyone know when Miami Ink starts filming?? I heard April-Sept. I am going to Miami in April for my b-day and I would like to maybe get a tattoo from one of the guys. I heard they do it when the cameras aren't running. I have met Chris Garver. He is such a cool guy. I would love to get a tattoo from him for Ami.

eireanacht - they use Skin Candy

dragonflyy - casting is the only way you'll get a tat from anyone on the show.

Only alternative is if they are either working out of their own studios OR if you happen to be lucky enough to catch them at a convention or somewhere else.

Miami Ink have excellent artists that work off camera and you don't need an appointment

nicolapicola, if you don't mind taking a number and waiting your turn you will get a tattoo at Miami Ink BUT I highly doubt it will be from any of the artists that appear on the show unless you are selected via casting.

Dragonflyy, I believe Season 3 will begin in April.

I have a question for the staff. I am stationed in Okinawa Japan in the Marine Corps and I was wondering if anyone has heard of Bonten Tatoo Studio?

Hi gothchic,

I haven't read the whole thread so maybe you already know this but:

You're thinking of either an "ambigram" or a "palindrome".

An ambigram is a word that looks the same when flipped upside down. A palindrome is something that is the same forward and backward.

Cool, huh?
Have a good one,

Schmeckel...

Answer: Yet to be Announced... Wink Ladies are waiting patiently for now...LOL[/QUOTE]

Whoever he is, I like his style! I kind of like the fact that it's a mystery Wink[/QUOTE]

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.[/QUOTE]


I think you've spent entirely too much of your time with Monks and you haven't YET met the RIGHT woman! Wink[/QUOTE]

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.[/QUOTE]

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


Don't give up on women Shmeckel. Some of us know what Bhagavad Gita is. (And know if by more than looking it up on Google.) Kala reveals. Good looking out...

Someone earlier asked this question but I don't think they got a response. I'm going to try my luck a week from this Thursday while I am down in Florida visiting my family.

What form of payment does Miami Ink accept? Are they cash only? Do they take credit cards?

Thanks!

I will report back and hopefully I will be one of the few the proud to say I got one there!

I'm trying to find the tatoo from the episode with the ex football player. He said it was a Cheribum, it was a tat of a lion with angel wings and a snake for a tail. Anyone know the name of this creature??? Or where I can find this tattoo?

Well I got a tattoo on my trip to Florida...but not at Miami Ink. I guess I should have read their MySpace board but I listened to the girl who answered the phone about 2 months ago when she said that the shop would open at noon on the date I wanted come. No mention of filming during that time period!

Anyway, my hubby and I went down to Miami and got there right at noon. We were almost in the door when this guy said "Hey, Hey...You can't go in there!". Turns out that the people who we thought were homeless and staying out of the rain in the doorway of a neighboring store were the film crew! Huh!

We were told to come back at 9 that night. While standing there 2 other people came up and were told the same thing. I wasn't going to drive back to Miami at night during Spring Break for a chance to get a tattoo there. I didn't want to be more upset than I already was.

My advice...check the myspace site for filming times and dates. Be patient and have plenty of time in the Miami area to be flexible.

I have a friend who lives in Ft. Lauderdale. She and her husband went to the shop on a Saturday and said it was packed! There was a 2-3 hour wait just to talk to one of the artists.

Anyway, I did go to a great shop in Ft. Lauderdale and will warn against another shop down in Miami and close to Miami Ink. If anyone wants my opinion of that shop e-mail me off the list. We're here to discuss Miami Ink and not other shops.

OK.. I have a question:

Can anyone find a video online of the opening credits for the show? I have looked for it everywhere and can't find it. There is a tattoo of a girl on a beach with a flower tattoo on her mid and lower back that I like.
