NY Ink Review

I had hopes that NY Ink would be different. Sure, it has Ami James in it from Miami Ink. However, that was really the first Ink show on TLC. It didn’t dissolve completely into drama the way it's LA counterpart did. It showed actual tattoos, imagine that. I'd rather hear actual stories. I did like that one spinoff show I think it was on A&E. They'd travel around in a bus or an rv and do tattoos all across the country. I don't know if they were good at rv repair. In fact, I've noticed that the more drama there is in an episode, the fewer tattoos there are. So I gave this show a chance, and even in the first episode it wasn't about the tattoos as much as it was about the fighting. I really wanted this one to be different.
