Boston Ink?

by Lei Ann

Miami Ink has certainly been a popular show for The Learning Channel. Who wouldn’t want to watch and see the drama that unfolds in a tattoo parlor in one of the hottest (both in temperature and lifestyle) cities ever? Not only that, but there are the truly awesome works of art that are made and the stories behind the creation of these tattoos. It’s been such a hit, that one of the breakout stars on the show, the female tattoo artist known as Kat Von D, now has her own show in her hometown, called (surprisingly) L.A. Ink. I’ve yet to watch an episode, but since I’m such a reality show addict, I already know I love it!

Well, Boston can have some of its very own ink drama starting September 6th with the Boston Tattoo Convention. TLC’s newest show, Tattoo Wars, will be filming an actual tattoo battle! Yes, two tattoo artists are pitted against each other as they vie for the title of Tattoo Master of the Universe! If that’s too much for you, there’s plenty of other side action to peruse. There will be dozens of tattoo artists on site…some coming from as far away as Italy, but most from the local area. If you’re curious about why anyone would go through all that pain for a tattoo, stop by and see what all the fuss is about. It will be happening at the Boston Center for the Arts. If you’ve been thinking about finally getting your first tattoo, getting yet another tattoo or covering up an old ugly tattoo (like the name of that ex-BF or GF), come on down to take advantage of this great opportunity. With all this local talent in one spot, this is the right place and the right people to get that tattoo that’s right for you!
