the taste of ink
after working 8-6 a number of days in a row, and daydreaming about giant boardgames, it is nice to come back to my apt and wind down in front of the television. i find myself amazed by how the channels in the 50s continue to make programming that grabs me. who would of thought that my attention could be drawn away from Cartoon Network, ESPN, MTV and the SciFi channel with TLC, A&E and the Discovery Channel. it all started with shows like American Chopper on the Discovery Channel with the crazy antics of family dynamics while making sweet bikes. this forced my surfing to expand into channels up in the 50s. along the way i have come across other great television like MythBusters and Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.
but recently, none of these programs compare to Inked on A&E and Miami Ink on TLC. it is cool to hear the stories behind why people get their tattoos, and then watch them go through the process having it etched into their skin. the tattoo artists are also interesting characters. as far as art goes, i love the tattoo style.
