Thanks for the info......but how do we contact you?, and BTW who are you? How long is the wait? How far in advanced can we book? Sorry for the 20 questions, but, hey I am a woman and we like to ask questions.
thanks!!!!!

Hey pechy...in the threads "Contact Miami Ink" and "Why I love Miami Ink" is the contact info.

Hey Jorgie thanks for keeping in touch..My boyfriend is a really great sketch artist and has said he'd sketch my concept on by body w/ colored pens. If we took a picture of that, would that work???

Ruby(not rub)red ps...have any basic pricing info???

i understand the questions..
i am the one who are setting the appointments for the guys

ooppss forgot to respond to the sketching...of course thats perfect

jorgie...are you the voice on the answering machine? I called the number listed on the website, but heard a woman's voice, then I thought that I had the wrong tat shop.

Hey, can you tell me if any of the guys are going to be up north for any tat conventions?

Thanks!

Jorgie -- do you need an assistant

Anyhoo, thank you for taking the time to help out the fans of Miami Ink. I hope that this works out well for all of the artists and folks associated with the shop!

Question regarding payment: does the shop only accept cash for payment or do they accept credit cards? I understand, of course, about the cashier's check/MO deposit. I feel tacky asking but I'm sure others have been wondering.

-e-

answer....
yep thats me on the answering machine.. i know i sound like lil girl....i tried having a hot english accent.. but it didnt work...

answer... oh god would i love to have one.....an assistant... but only a very few can handle ami.

answer.... of course we accept credit cards....

"only a few can handle Ami" Could you expand on that....?

i ment no harm to that...
he is a great guy and i love him to death.. as a big brother... but i'm sure you have watched the show. and might be able to relate to where that boss that comes in and regulates... thats ami.... he has his heart in a good place, and he is doing a great job at it...

Actually I really like Ami's personality...he's alot like my soon to be stepson. I'm one of the few that can get through to him. He has that high energy and did the extreme fighting. I love him he's sweetheart.

Ruby

Jorgie,
Thanks for the info.
How far in advance would I have to make an appointment? I'm taking my sister on vacation to Miami and would like to stop by and have the rest of my tattoo done.
Thanks,
Shell

I hear you on that. Not that I'm critiquing Ami or anything. I work w/ folks w/ VERY distinct personalities but in the long run, it all works out in the end.

Thanks for your help, jorgie! With any luck I'll be able to head down after the New Year to check out the shop AND get a tattoo! It would be honor to meet all of you wonderful folks!

-e-

ps -- I'll bring my resume

Hey Jorgie... If you are ever looking for an assistant.. I'm here for ya.

I just finished my job as a receptionist (so i could move).. but I'd be up for moving even further.

Jorgie, what about custom work? You really can't send a picture of what you want then...
i'm not really into flash , but personalized work. Thanks! I think that Ami seems like a great guy,tough , but determined to make someone out of u.

Jorgie, how did you get your job working at Miami ink???

Hi Jorgie....
I have a question about a one of a kind piece as well. I'm planning a back piece that incorporates a few different features in to it, kinda like what that one guy did with that crest for his friend. How would I send all of that in? Or even begin to send in this long letter to describe how I wanted things situated?

Jorgie,
I dont need an appointment-- I live too far away to have one of the guys do my tattoo. But I do want to know how I can get a copy of a tat that was done on the show.....? I love the shoulder tattoo the daughter got in the Never Forget episode and I want to get the same one. Please help!!!!!

Java

javaqueen, that shoulder thing was freehanded on the spot by Nunez. I don't think it will be possible to get a copy of it unless you screencap the show. If you like the idea, you can just draw up something that you might like. It looked like it was just a vine. The girl on that show brought in a picture and he did a couple of sketches based off of her picture.

Thanks for the explanation, Mita! I'm going to have to try the screencap idea so I can have someone do a "recreation". If not, this just means that I may have to get down to Miami and let the pros do their job.

Hi
no offense but I personally don't think you should try to reproduce a tattoo that was custom made for someone. I think you should have your own designed for yourself. When someone has someone freehanded or custom designed for themselves, they certainly wouldn't want to end up seeing everyone else with that same tattoo. It's very personal to them.

I'm bumping this in hopes Jorgie will get a chance to answer the custom design question as it is the same one I have.

im sorry to ask you this..
but if there are any questions regarding a tattoo you want fixed or done you can email me at

miamiink305@bellsouth.net

hi my name is dave i live in upstate ny i want to get my girl a tat at your shop for our wedding gift.

does anyone have a phone# or an address for the shop.I live in tampa,fl and want to go there and get work done. thanks

Have any of the guys at Miami Ink ever heard of Dave or David Lume.He was supposedly the best tattoo artist in Austin,Texas?Also I would love to get a tattoo from Ami,but as luck has it I will never be anywhere near Miami.Will Ami ever be anywhere near the Austin,Texas area?If so please email me and maybe I could be so lucky as to get a tattoo from him.My email sapphirejgh@yahoo.com

Hey Jorgie,
What are the shop hours? So locals can drop in instead of mailing in a deposit. Thanks!

I am planning a trip to Miami and would like to visit the shop. Do you have an address for Miami Ink?

answer... oh god would i love to have one.....an assistant... but only a very few can handle ami.

The question is... could AMI handle me? Where do I apply?

In the show the guys mention the shop is on South Beach but everytime I try to look it up, I get a Hialeah Gardens address. I don't know if it's right. What's the address and phone number?

I started this I guess I can understand the address thing even though it appears in a lot of posts. Here it is again:
1344 Washington Ave Miami Beach Fl 33139
(305)531-4556 Hours of operation are 12pm - 12am 7 days a week. Call 4pm - 12pm for appointments....did I get it right? Jorgie

ahhhh.. perfect...

thanks.. i think i should just start saving a memo and just keep pasting it..

i feel like a tape recorder.

hi my name is dave seguin from upstate ny i sent a tape in tring to get on the show havn't heard anything yet i really would love to get my self and my wife a tat just after our wedding as a suprise i know you are taping in the month of oct but that is the only time i will be there so i was woundering what it would cost me to make a SPECIAL appointment after the day of taping on sun the 30th of oct this really would meen alot to me and i know their time is valuable so please let me know and hopefull ami would be avail to do it. Thanks for all your help

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree with you on when someone has a "custom made" tattoo one wouldn't like "everyone else" to have it. I found a picture of a Phoenix (not the usually bird w/ colors-feathers etc.) but when I went to my tattooist he said it looked to masculine & he wanted it more feminine & to come back & he would have something for me to look at. I came back & he drew up the most AWESOME phoenix I ever saw (none of which I looked at/found on the computer, nor the original one I picked out-he did a BEAUTIFUL job altering it) so I got it (on my lower back all the way down to my tail bone) he had to shorten the tail though. And he did it in black-gray-shaded. I am going back in a week to put the flames above it. And so like you said, it is very personal & means something very special to me....Unless one were to "get permission or an ok" to copy it. I wouldn't do it either.

HI im Mike and i live in Jax FL. My mom just died and drew up an memorial for her and made a sticker for my car, now i want to have one made into a tat. I feel like some do that it was made for me and if someone took it and set it up for them then id be up-set. I do plan to get an appt soon to have garver make it. Just one Q? how much is it? im mean is it per hr or size? i have 2 tats from Inksmith $ Rogers but it was by size. Thank Guys. Hang loose!

Hi my name is kristen and i was just wondering how long of a wait would it be for regular people to come in and get a tattoo meaning if ur not on the show.

Is there a certain email address I need to send a picture of the healed tattoo Darren did to? It's a memorial of his friend

yeah. could you send it to me? thanx

I think she means for the show. Why would she send you a picture of a memorial tattoo for her brother-in-law for you to copy?

Jorjie...Nunez left the impression (post) that he would not be back into the shop until Feb. Is this a correct assumption? What days are better than others to expect to find the Guys (Ami etc.) at the shop most of the time? This is for Walk Ins inquiries...

your right. the guys from the show will not be back till feb..
but there are other artists as talented that work there that are not on camera

I was wondering if i could send a picture in and have THEM design the art because i want kat,ami,garver,nunez,and darren to design a half sleve for me. I want to get a piece from all of them because they each have an artistic catigory that they are really good at and i think with all of them put together it would make for the most killer tattoo. PLEASE see what you can do and ill definatly bring a krew with me this summer to get a piece of art at the shop.

Hey Jorgie, where did the guys get the shirt with "Hell's Kitchen" on the back? Thats my friends skateboard company's warehouse name

I would really be careful about sending money orders to this guy. It sounds like fraud.

LMAO! Amifan, you're kidding, right? Jorgie really does work there...

Really? Well, I am very new to the site, and I didn't know. I am hesitant to give money to someone without proof. I'm not arguing with you, but I was wondering how you know jorgie works there?
