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.

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!

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.

To x6kinkiibunnie9x
Tattoos are priced per tattoo. There is a minimum of $200 for any tattoo. I read someone paid $1600 for about 4 hours of work, so about $400 per hour I would say.

To: becky003
What episode? Was anything written? It sounds like a DeVille t-shirt

To kentrizdale:
Hard to tell without seeing the actual stretch marks, but most tattoo artists feel comfortable tattooing someone with stretch marks. Best bet is make an appointment with a local artist and get first hand info.

To alli_s:
I don’t think that is possible. Never heard of an MI question answer thing. Might have been a special occasion if it happened. And no, they don’t usually read the boards. In fact, only in the first year do I remember Nunez and Garver posting

To carlinmarlin:
Call the shop. The number is posting in many places on this website.

why do the guys on the show not do any tattoos in yhe shop. I resently visisted the shop and was able to get a tattoo but not by the artist that I hoped to get it from and I was very disappointed by that. I had drived several hundred miles to get the tattoo by nunez but was not able to. I am pleased with the tattoo that I did get in the shop but it wasn't the same.

You should of been an informed and smart consumer and read up on the TV SHOW before driving so long to get there.

Had you read up on this TV SHOW, you would of known that its not guaranteed that the guys are there all the time, and there is a big crew of other artists there when the show isn't taping.

Be smart next time. Learn from your mistakes.

On the show, there is a clip of a female skull (it is a chick that has long hair and long eyelashes, it is played either in the beginning credits or during the commercials), I am wondering how I can find it...I have been trying to draw up something same as the image I have seen, but it just isn't as good as the one I want. Is there anyway that anyone has seen it? I would love some help!!! All I need is just a picture, and I will be able to do the outline and everything myself...anyone got any ideas??

Good day!

I am Glenn Rivera, from Philippines and currently working here in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and planning to go there in Miami to have my new tattoo there as soon as I contact you and to meet all of you guys coz i'm a great fan of you all and i do watch all your t.v. series in TLC Discovery Channel.

I want to know information regarding the tattoo you posted at youtube which was lasted for 23hours *demon/evil tattoo* with that guy in front of his chest down to the stomach. I want the same design but please do me a favor, i want you to revise some part of it so that we are not the same tattoo design as what he had.

I would be very thankful if you will provide me this informations: Who's the artist of that one? How much do it cost? And what's the contact person/number or information in your shop so that i can contact you ASAP.

My email by the way is givera81@yahoo.com /glenn_rivera81@yahoo.com.

Good luck guys and more power to all of you.

Thank You,

Glenn Rivera
