LA Ink Update #3 – Meet My Artist
OK. The anticipation can be let go now.
Yes. I have been contacted by the producers of LA Ink to let me know that they have selected me to be inked on the show. Needless to say I am pretty excited.
Here is how it works.
Hannah Aitchison is one of the 4 artists to be featured on the show. She is the one that chose my artwork. In order to actually have any shot of making it on the show you pretty much have to be open to any artist doing your work. Of’ course I would have loved for Kat Von D to do my tat but either way I am pumped that Hannah is doing it. Hannahs work is AMAZING. She is pretty much THE artist to go to in the midwest. She is from Chicago and has a waiting list over a year long. Here is some of her work.
I will just have to settle for being in the chair next to Kat for 8 hours. Because Hannah is amazing.
Yes you heard right.
8 hours.
That is how long Hannah thinks it will take to do that work.
Ouch.
So I have paid my deposit and they have some of my money now.
Next I am waiting for the appointment director to call me. Bianca, the producer, told me that she thinks I will be scheduled as soon as WEDNESDAY!!! Or for sure in the next 2 weeks. But this is “reality television” so I will just be patient.
Either way I am fairly excited.
They love the music pastor/ plays in a “rock band” /loses 40 lbs/ adopts his son from Korea spin.
How could they resist. I live my life as if I am on my own reality show anyways. So it’s a win for them. Ha!
So now to be patient.
There you have it.
Stay tuned for images of my artwork and some more “news”.
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,

RAIN IT DOWN
Awesome! You were born for reality TV. I might have to get cable now to watch it! Where you getting it, arm or back?
And she has a great name. Just sayin’.
8 hours. Eesh. I start getting twitchy after an hour or so.
Still quite excited for you.
Congratulations! What an exciting opportunity (except for the 8 hours in the chair part).
Wow! Those Tat’s are amazing. I can’t wait to see your ink. Looking forward to Tivoing it for posterity. Lucky punk.
Love you bro.
I am so excited for you!! I knew you would get it.
Awesome!!! Cant wait to see the art work.

‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.
I think that they should pay for it. It is TV…right? Why do you have to pay for that? Anywho, my other thought on your adventure is to scratch the whole Saul/Paul thing and go for the Star Wars plane thingies. Dang it if those aren’t the coolest tattoos eva. So we can’t down load any videos here…so when you post it on youtube you are going to have to send me a hard copy so I can see your appearance. Okay? Okay!!

bro.. can I have your autograph?
Wow – make sure you let us know the air date so I can have my mom TIVO it since I don’t have cable. Congrats!
Way cool! But I gotta admit–the best reality TV I see is right here at Ragamuffinsoul dot com, whenever you turn the vid camera on those munchkins of yours running around in fast motion. Great stuff.
Glad to know Cash knows his OT Law. I’m taking a school law class right now, and I could use somebody with his brain.
I am down with the OT law.
This is cool, but I’m confused as to why you have to pay… Do you think you’ll get any endorsement deals out of the show? Or maybe your own spin-off reality show. I know I’d watch…
man, that is exciting. i am looking forward to the finished product.
So very exciting! i love when my blogger -and/or- real life friends are on TV and I feel famous by association!
I’m sure it will rock.
Very cool. Can I ask a lame question? What channel is the show on? I don’t watch much tv but judging from what my husband watches, I think our cable set up only has 2 channels – ESPN and ESPN2…
Can’t wait to see the show.
Kewl. Can’t wait to see you on TV. And you best bring ALL yo kids and Heather to sit in the lobby area cuz that’s how we roll!! Family style. 8 hours, huh? You should be numb soon enough. Tell me how much something like that costs? Like a mortgage payment, eh? Ew. Ugh. But that artist is flippin’ sweeeeet. Wow. That Star Wars tat is SICK.
would you hang out with me, even though i am irish and not tattooed? i am sooo not cool enough for you.
that rocks man!!!
dude, thats sweet, your gonna have to post vlips of the show on your blog or something, because it doesnt air in the UK
You will absolutely LOVE Hannah. She did my first 1/2 sleeve and will be doing my 2nd one on the show in the next 1-2 months (I just got the call last Friday). So excited for you!
