TATTOO WARS

[terryhaddon]

Check this out and then look at the list of competitors(just listed by member of the forum, not official). Would be interesting. Kinda like the biker build off on TLC. I would watch for sure: who would you like to see battle.

Apparently a new show to be coming out. I know I am out of the loop by and large but competive artwork? Anyone know anything about this:

Tattoo Wars
Tattoo Wars pits the best tattoo artists of our time against each other in a head to head creation competition. In each episode we explore the world, legend and work of two internationally acclaimed tattooists. Then we travel to a huge tattoo expo where our stars, in three hours time, ink a tattoo on the skin of two willing clients. These creations have a common theme, such as a dragon, a calla lily, a sailor, a tribal gauntlet, or a hanya (Japanese devil mask) but are rendered in the unique style of each artist. As the show closes, thousands of show attendees vote for the creation they like the best and the winning artist takes home the Tattoo Wars trophy

I would like to see perhaps

Brandon Bond vs Kore Flatmo
Grime vs Ed Hardy!!
Adrian Lee vs Shige
S. Victor Whitmill vs Paul Booth
Carson Hill vs Jon Clue
Dave Fox vs Joe Capobianco
Cory Kruger vs Steve Moore
Petri Syrjälä vs Mike Devries

I would add:
Sean Herman vs Josh Carlton
Jeff Ensminger vs Josh Woods
Dave Tedder vs Chris Garver (Japanese battle)
and i'd like to see
Mike Devries vs Nikko

Is there a list of artists for it yet?
I think the dog brothers show sounds interesting. People beating the crap out of each other with big sticks for no apparent reason. Sounds like a winner to me.

I heard a rumor that something might go down at the Hell City Convention but thats all. All i know is that the show is in Production. The IMDB lists the show but no info. It's gonna be good. Hopefully some AON guys will be included.

Sabado vs. Grime should be on the list.

Interesting show...if I had TV I would probably watch it.

I would love to see some AON guys get in on that. That would be very interesting indeed.

Looks like it's real. Mike Devries has heard of it but hasn't been contacted. Also Josh Carlton is gonna be on a couple espisodes of Kat Von D's new show LA Ink. This might be a decent show with people like that showing up. Miami ink has gone way down hill...was decent in the beginning but now it's more about their lives than they're tattoos. The tattooing has gotten really simple and plain. I got an idea, Mr Bond didn't want to give his shop over to some TV producers(totally understandable), maybe he could think about putting some shop cams in and making the stream available on this site. Maybe could even charge a small fee(make money, make money, money).

Or make he could produce the show himself and sell the episodes to the TV channels. Therefore they would recieve a pure form of what goes on in a shop. An he maintains the integrity of his enviroment as well.

If Brandon did his own show...lol...it would have to be on HBO or Cinemax...I highly doubt even FOX would air some of the stuff that happens around the AON crew...lol....

Well thats a totally wild idea..Tattoo wars ,to be honest some of the pair-ups seemed a lil off to me but most of your guys suggestions sounded better.This will be a must see if it airs.

[BRANDON BOND]

Ill do it..
