NY Ink with Ami James at the Wooster Street Social Club

I don’t have any tattoos, but when I started watching NY Ink I was hooked. I have a few friends that have tattoos, but I have never had the nerve to get one. Not sure what I would get… maybe Tiger’s logo or something. Tiger actually has two logos now, so I would need one on each arm. Anyway, I started watching NY Ink, and fell in love with the cast. The show is on TLC and there is actually another show called Miami Ink where it all got [...]

My good friend John Graham also did a review of it on his blog… so the book is getting some serious attention. But I met Tim on Twitter, and he sent me a copy of the book. I was so impressed I wanted [...]
