How many "INK" shows can there be?

[leifvignirsson]

Seriously? Do we NEED three shows about tattoo parlors doted across the globe? Is it such a foreign concept that Londoners get tattoos that they HAVE to make this show? I could understand if it only showed in England, but it is being produced by TLC.

And since WHEN was a reality show about tattoos about learning?

Haha... and isn't there one now where people from all the different ink shows compete? =p

Well at least reality tv has gotten more interesting nowadays. We've moved on from strangers living in a house, game shows, and eating bugs to people actually competing with skills.

[leifvignirsson]

Yeah, I think that is the case with the competition. It is so hard these days with all of them sort of blending together in their blandness.

As far as the Kwality of Reality TV", I can say I would rather watch people eat bugs of different species than have three shows that are exactly the same... Nothing like having the uber slutty female tattoo artist being copy and pasted in each show...

I wonder the same thing about shows like Intervention and CSI Miami on A&E. I would personally like to see more Arts and Entertainment and less main stream. Hell, I'll take more interviews by James Lipton again if it means they go back to their original format.

[leifvignirsson]

Arts, Entertainment? No, no, no... That is too much to ask for at times, I mean... That means that the regular population has to think and react to what it is watching. Let's not forget the creative motto Thinking hurts... Heh

It's such a huge part of pop culture now that everyone feels the need to jump on the gravy train. Seems like you can't swing a cat without hitting someone who's all tatted up these days. Not long ago, tattoos were strictly the domain of rockers, sailors, bikers, and prisoners.

And tribesmen, lets not forget the heathens... heh. And wasn't there some sort of regulation from "teh one god" about not having the tattoo on your person? Something about going to heaven as created? I know, crazy talk.
