There were offers to do other shows, according to James, but he declined. That is, until the opportunity arose to do something more authentic and to his liking. James is an executive producer on the web series, which premiered March 15 and airs Thursdays. We were forced to do scenes that would never happen in a tattoo shop. The camerawork and editing are slicker than they were on the TLC shows, from the slow-motion shots of ink dripping into ink caps to the closeups of the tattoo machine prodding away at skin.

Luis Gomez left his life in Chicago to backpack around the world and has since dedicated himself to freelance writing, with Miami now his home base. She stayed on for two seasons and somehow became one of the most popular individuals on the show.
Eventually however she left and went to start her own show, LA Ink, back in California. She really managed to spark controversy earlier this year however when she and her husband decided to let it be known after she found out she was pregnant that they would not be vaccinating their child. Ami is, along with Chris Nunez, the first and final word on the show. He was one of the biggest influences in the place and his word mattered above all.
He was the kind of guy that liked to expand however and he announced a new show NY Ink in New York in The show only lasted to however and from there he kind of had to improvise and keep going with what he had. Thankfully Ami is also the kind of guy that got into tattooing early and never wanted to get out. When looking at tattoos and the people that have them a lot of folks tend to get too judgmental and think that tattoos mean that a person is lacking some sort of moral fiber.
James spoke up a little bit, but not enough to really quell anything. One writer at xoJane took issue with the whole event and wrote a scathing piece about it. She reached out to a female tattoo artist who informed her that, unfortunately, this type of behavior is all too common within that realm. Ami responded to her with a statement basically stating it's not his job to discipline other grown men. The writer pen name "Emily" wrote another scathing piece. Megan Massacre and Chris Torres eventually ended up dating.
Whether or not there was any real misconduct here is obviously up for debate. The scars of youth are often permanent. Sometimes, they guide you on the path to adulthood.
Ami James has always been a fan of tattoos. He even performed his first professional tattoo before he was It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that he received his first professional tattoo at just 15 years old. Two years before that, he performed a different type of tattooing on himself. It's called an Indian Ink tattoo, and it's something you can do yourself as well.
We're not recommending it. We're simply stating a fact. Basically, the process involves a sewing needle, some Indian Ink, a box of matches and a cotton swab.
Interestingly, xoJane also did a piece on this particular procedure. Chris Nunez has not had the best relationship with the law. The same year he was sued for harassment, he was also arrested or driving under the influence. In September of , Nunez was pulled over in Florida for running a stop sign. TMZ reported that it was unclear which substance or substances he had taken. He was brought to jail, but released several hours later on bail. In his mugshot, Nunez is seen to be smiling and apparently unconcerned.
Ami James has told interviewers he is used to people with tattoos being stereotyped. He says that at the beginning of his career, he was detained often at air ports. Bigindustry names like Nunez are probably one of the reasons these stereotypes are perpetuated.
To be clear, Ami James is Jewish. Not only that, but he is a veteran of the Israeli armed forces. He has said that he refuses to do racial tattoos. He also refuses to do anything that promotes hate, such as swastikas. According to him, he believes these to bring bad karma. What's surprising is that he also refuses to do any sort of Jewish tattoo. He says it's a slap in the face to the religion. His views on the entire thing are actually quite confusing. He identifies as Jewish, yet doesn't identify as religious.
Tattoos are something the religion traditionally frowns upon, yet James is covered in them. Yojiro Harada is a tattoo artist, musician Harada has only made one film appearance, but it's an interesting one - in the Japanese horror film Suicide Club. You can't be blamed for never having heard of it, as it's not exactly considered digestible for western audiences. The film's subject matter is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
It deals with a whole lot of people killing themselves at the same time, and the police trying to figure out what's going on. Yoji cameos as a comedian. He doesn't kill himself, but a friend of his does.
