Last Wednesday night a show debuted on A&E called "Tattoo Highway" A tattoo artist, named Thomas Pendelton decides to take his tattoo parlor on the road, with his wife and staff, so he converts a tour bus into a tattoo parlor, with the outside of the bus displaying some of his artwork. Unfortunately, I missed it last week, due to the fact that I forgot about it because I was so busy last week. But I was excited to catch it this week, with back to back episodes. The sad thing is, is this show makes me want to get a new tattoo, and well...I just don't have the money right now.
This week a guy, with a pigtail beard, gets a note tattooed on the palm of his hand, a note that was from his mother, with white ink. Now, this is a sweet gesture, but on the palm of your hand? After his tattoo is done, a stripper surprises him, who also wants to get a new tattoo to add to the collection on her arm. This time around she gets an orchid with a skull in the middle of it. The stripper was annoying but her tattoo was kinda cute. I like orchids but I'm not all into skulls, but it was a cute idea and it turned out good.
Afterwards, the team takes a little pit stop at a local brothel where an "entertainer" and her daughter want to get matching butterfly tattoos. Then there was the porn star who takes a break from her movie to get a cross tattoo in the middle of her upper back.... I really don't even know what to say about that... not to mention, her moaning from the pain was making the whole team uncomfortable...
In the second episode, of the hour, their first stop is in Sacremento, CA, to make a stop at this girl's house so she can get a chest tattoo that she drew herself, of a grim reeper. Except Thomas had to change it up a little because the way the girl had it would not have looked right on her chest and would have looked worse as time passed. And thank goodness the girl wasn't offended and she loved it. It's a huge tattoo but it looks good on her, if you like the goth look and you like things having to do with death.
Then they made a stop in San Francisco to find a shop helper, but unfortunatly did not find anyone that fit the profile. Most of them thought the job was helping him tattoo so he had a bunch of people that tattoo'd themselves or never even had tattoos. They did, however, find a gay couple, that wanted to get matching eggplant tattoos....ummmm, ook then. But it's sweet and they want them on there arms so that when they hold hands they touch. Awww! And I guess Thomas is an ordained minister so not only is he going to tattoo these guys but he is going to marry them as well. Not that it will be legal in the state of California, though. So they get tattoos and married all in one day. How nice =)
I've really enjoyed watching this show but it does make me want to get a new tattoo =(
