Reality Tattoo TV Drinking Game

4 messages · last activity 7/18/2005

Ok folks, we need to hustle here. We all know about the new reality TV shows based on tattooing. A&E will be airing Inked on Tuesdays, and some other station will be airing Maimi Ink on wednsday. In prepration for these reality TV shows us geeks have a duty to prepare the drinking game. We have until tuesday. So, to start it off. 1 drink for every on air drink. 1 hit of the ol good stuff for every smoke cloud that is blown into the camera. 1 drink everytime an artist bashes another artist or another artists work. 1 drink everytime you want to hit a character for saying something real stupid. 1 drink everytime an artist says that art is their life. 2 drinks everytime an artist pretends to be humble. 2 drinks for every "shits and giggles" tattoo. 3 drinks everytime an artist pretends to be humble while bashing another artist or their tattoos. Finish your beer and get a good start on another everytime something unsanitary happens. Ok, theres a quick start. Im counting on you guys to help here. I'll get a final game together on monday in time for the premire on tuesday.
I hope to never even accidentally see that show. I know its gonna happppeeeennnn.
Show? Theres gonna be three of em! It will cut into my fox news watching, but I will watch the first few I reckon. Im gonna stop the first time I puke though.
i like the drinking idea gabe unfortunately i gave that up almost 10 years ago. as far as the shows go i think tattooing is over saturated with the quick buck guys and i can draw a stick figure so i can tattoo shops already.along with a lot of this looks easy and its not a lot of hard work over a lot years but a fun hang out job. so heres my take. i think miami ink might be a good show with talented artists that will show tattooing is not an easy fun and games lets jump on the band wagon profession but a lot of hard work and dedication. plus i could never see enough of chis garvers work. as far as inked the commercials make tattooing look like a whole fashion show and im not up to watch a show on tattooing that uses fake tattoos on the models in their ads and commercials. im looking forward to paul booths show on mtv as paul usually doesnt put out anything cheesy and crappy. plus ive heard from a few friends at shops in nyc on some stuff about the show that sounds funny. then again im not looking forward to any of these shows so its a double edged sword. tattooing was much better when i started in 89 unlike now where every town has a few shops so customers can shop by price not by qaulity or can run up the road if youre booked for a few weeks. just when you think the industry cant get any worse heres a few shows to water down everything a little more.
