A couple of new shows came out around tattooing just yesterday, one just minutes after I posted yesterday’s news on Tattoo Age- this is the week of the tattoo show, I see! The first one I noticed through angry tattooer friends on Facebook, a show called My Tattoo Addiction on Channel 4. My Tattoo Addiction … Read more

Oh Great, Tattoo School is Back
Hey, remember what a great show TLC’s Tattoo School was? Yeah, me neither, it was dogshit. For some stupid reason, though, TLC have now decided to make the one-off show into an actual series. The series will be in a reality TV game show style format (no, really), where wannabe tattooers will be given two … Read more
Chris Jones’ Teeth are Looking at Me.
I don’t know how many of you have had your lunch in a tattoo studio, but it normally consists of crappy fast food in the reception or a few sneaky cakes before you go on to the next job. For Chris Jones, it’s another story. Chris, who owns Physical Graffiti in Wales, brightened my day … Read more
Dues Paid.
After everything that’s happened in the last month or so with TLC’s stupid show about “tattoo schools”, I’m really happy to be able to tell you all some good did actually come out of the whole thing. Personally, I’d have preferred the show to have never come out at all, and was just as outraged … Read more

Proud to be Different!
Loz is back with another great article for you all! Anyone who’s ever been treated differently because they may be a little "different" because of their tattoos will really appreciate this one :) The other day I found myself watching Holby City, now I never usually watch stuff like this because, to be honest, I … Read more
Have You Met Lydia?
I found this on TattooSnob.com and I had to share it with you guys. Did you know there was a tattooed Muppet? Me neither! Meet Lydia, the tattooed lady! Lydia is actually very accurately portrayed in this, she reminds me of tattooed lady Emma De Burgh, who had some beautiful historic artwork by Samuel O’Reilly. … Read more
