Tattoo Wars

Has anyone heard of this yet...Mr Devries needs to be in on 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.

RE: Tattoo Wars

This show should be amazing and is going to open the publics eyes a little further. The only problem i could see with it would be the 3 hour time limit to complete the tattoo. Sure a simple design could work but doing something such as a portrait would be an issue. I would like to see it done as tattoo of the day rules. Complete it in one day and at the end of it then have the voting. Who would you like to see go head to head in this compitition?

RE: Tattoo Wars

Those all sound great but i would like to see artists with 2 different styles compete. Sure i would love to see a Bob Tyrrell vs. Tom Renshaw or even Shane O'neil would be great but i think they would be to similar in ways. Say you put Tony Ciavarro vs. Jime Litwalk, they would end up drawing the same exact image!!! I think that a battle such as Nick Baxter vs. Robert Hernandez would showcase the differences and talents of two amazing artists. Even a Tom Renshaw vs. Deano Cook, wilflife realism but black and grey vs. color.

RE: Tattoo Wars

way too many choices for battles...all the above are mouth watering jeff gogue v joe capobianco (pin up) would be tasty...grime v pacheco (open topic but has to contain a critique haha) anyone know who's commentating or hosting??? and do they toss a coin to see who gets the best skin or what? wouldn't you be bummed if you got the fat mexican lady's belly while the other guy got some canadian calf action...

They supposedly have some info on the filming of Tattoo Wars on their page.

RE: Tattoo Wars

HaHa...yeah i thought of that too..it might be tuff because your not comparing apples to apples..one might get dark skin versus light or a bad spot on the body versus an ideal one.or if they do have a portrait category one might be more complex than the other..but all in all its going to be interesting and fun to watch..

RE: Tattoo Wars

they just filmed an episod of the show at the south florida show. It was Nikko vs. Steve Morris, color portraits. I don't know about Steve, but Nikko had a customer come with him for the tattoo, but Im sure they both got the same opportunites. They both got longer than 3 hours to complete the tattoo. Then all the people at the convention got to vote on the winner. They both had contrasting styles though. Nikko did a much more "point of focus" piece with foreground and background, and Steve did a very nicely done reproduction tattoo from a photo. Should be a cool show. Chris Blinston was the announcer and artist Carson Hill was on hand to check out the event along with many more.

RE: Tattoo Wars

They filmed Mike Rubendal vs Bugs at the NYC convention thisy year. They both did sick Hanya masks and obviously they were contrasting styles. I won't spoil it and say who one. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these on TV

RE: Tattoo Wars

Whoever said Kore Flatmo vs Brandon Bond did you bump your head or what? Kore would murder him. You cannot even compare Brandon Bond to Kore Flatmo. Why do people think Brandon Bond is good?

RE: Tattoo Wars
