You type a whole essay on all the things they do that irritate you. And you probably don't even tattoo yourself. In case you hadn't noticed, the show only go's on for an 1 hour, so i dont think you could fit 5 days in there, k hun. The're all successful at what they do, and they dont go around bragging how good they r. They do it because it's their lives. So i dont see why u should act all high and mighty, talking about this and that. And, about ur girlfriend, ,it wouldn't surprise me if she rubbed some of her jealousy on u. Y else would u or her feel like u have anything to complain about? I can't stand people like u whodo nothing but watch other people and waste all ur time on a group of successful, happy people youv'e never met. L.A. ink rules, and if i were u i'd just stop watching it, bring a camera to ur girl's shop, and make ur own damn show so u could watch over and over again with nothing to say.

But I'll still respond to her accusations I know nothing about tattoos because I work for an insurance company and should go "back to filing claims." First of all I don't file claims, I'm a designer who is entrusted with a multi-billion dollar website, which means I probably have some pretty keen aesthetic sensibilities. Not to mention I'm a classically trained illustrator so I know more about drawing than the hacks on these shows. Secondly, if you'd bothered looking anywhere else on my site you'd see that my girlfriend, who I live with, is a tattoo artist. As such I have 1. more tattoos than the average "collector" 2. have unique insight into the industry as a one time would be apprentice (this is how we met) and 3. I watch the show with her and listen to her frustrations and critiques, which then manifest itself in the form of me ranting on my blog. This makes my opinion more qualified than yours, oh random anonymous internet poster. I’ve deleted the comment of the previous poster because of her rude affinity for profanity.
