To Reggie99, they edit out the monetary involvement. I, personally, don't want half the show taken up by people talking money. Also I want to say that I have 2 tattoos, and neither are flash. I go custom or I don't go at all. I have watched both Inked and Miami Ink, and I haven't seen anyone pay on either show. It is nuts to think that paying would be good TV content. Also, there is no excitement in flash. I bet they do it, but there is no story there. The show is more about people that have a story they want to tell through their art. Not about people who decide I should get a tattoo and go pick one off the wall. Most tattoo shops I have been in do very little flash. I personally don't like flash, because I don't want to be one of 1000 people walking around with the same fairy or butterfly. It is art, and I feel that art for me is custom not cookie cutter. MIAMI INK RULES!!!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL! KAT ROCKS! Hooray for female tat artists!
