Let’s Talk About Chris Garver

The art of tattooing is no secret now. Thanks to the team of Miami Ink for presenting a great reality show based on this. By involving Chris Garver who has excelled in painting thoughts onto people bodies, the show has exposed the audiences to the best in this field. To talk about a great tattooing artist like him is like limiting the description of the nature in words.

Chris Garver has painted the canvas of “Miami Ink” with a beautiful rainbow as he always came up with something distinct just like a rainbow boasts of seven colors. If one contemplates the idea of “Miami Ink” without him it will be like body without a soul.

His life took twists and turns which took him into the unexplored world of tattooing. But he was brave enough to traverse its bumpy and sometimes treacherous trail.

This great stalwart of “Miami Ink” accidentally got an exposure of this art when he injured his finger at the age of six. To cover up the scar he got it tattooed. He went full on for a tattoo on his body at the age of 15. By the time he was seventeen he took it upon himself to tattoo his own body viewing it as a canvas. In one of his interviews he even said that, “I did my first tattoo on myself because I wanted to be able to show people my work so if they were to trust me, they had to see something that I did.”

Chris Garver’s work on people bodies has made it clear that tattooing involves a great deal of precision and patience. Though there is some pain but it can be tolerated with ease. For an elaborate tattoo, multiple sessions might be required, having about a week’s gap between them. This one of its kind tattoo artist has always banished racist tattoos.

The four season of “Miami Ink” have made many, who resisted going for a tattoo, to have it on their own bodies. Many facts related with this field have been brought up. Myths associated with this art have also been touched upon. Thanks to the whole production team of “Miami Ink” for their mighty effort to make this reality show a memorable experience.

Ami James of Miami Ink Propagates “Live And Let Live”

For a perfect harmony on the planet earth living in unison is of prime importance. In other words I would simply say, “Live and Let Live”.

This thought was nicely propagated by Ami James of “Miami Ink“, as he is now showing us some of his special tattoos along with tag line on “Ink Not Mink”. He is doing this as a part of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals”.

How can we ever forget Ami James of “Miami Ink”, co-owner of Miami Beach, Floria tattoo parlor, Love Hate Tattoos? We also know that this parlor is the main subject of TLC’s reality show “Miami Ink”. He has always been considered among the greatest tattoo artists to have ever descended onto planet earth. Infact, he is a living legend as far as art of tattooing goes.

With this laudable gesture Ami James of “Miami Ink”, has made it clear that he is against brutal acts committed on animals. Though he has always been a very stylish man who constantly keeps up with the latest fashion trends, by not giving his support to fur industry he has also made it clear that fashion, at the cost of torturing of innocent species, can not be justified.

“Miami Ink’s” Ami James, in one of his PETA’s interviews, stated that “I was watching TV and then all of a sudden there was something about Roberto Cavalli`s fashion and I saw people wearing cheetah furs and all sorts of crazy things like that … to the point where I got asked to do a Cavalli vodka design and I said, `F*** no, I am not doing it. I will never do it”.

Ami James has been the signature of “Miami Ink”. He, being a great narrator of the various real stories that take place in premise of “Miami Ink” and a legendry figure in the world of tattooing art the show, has always rocked.

The insight into personal lives of customers wanting to be tattooed is always exciting to watch. “Miami Ink“, has peen cancelled after four seasons but it has been an amazing journey into lives of those eager for tattoos on their flesh as well as legends who have mastered this rare art.

Inside Miami Ink Duo’s Love Hate Bar in Montreal!

Hey friends! As reported earlier on this site, the Miami Ink duo of Chris Nunez and Ami James have opened up their new International bar, named Love Hate in Montreal. Although the city is already full of bars of various types, the opening of Love Hate was in no way less noteworthy. The pair that became quite popular with the reality hit show Miami Ink opened their first Love Hate bar three years ago in the party-crazy South Beach district of Miami. And now, with TLC deciding to discontinue the show after the current season, that is Miami ink Season 4, the mightily tattooed stars have moved on to a forthcoming TV venture on the Travel Channel although they will continue to host Miami Ink in the remaining episodes.

Well, if you are a fan of Miami Ink Tv Show and want to meet the duo of Chris Nunez and Ami James, then you surely have just another reason to visit this newest hot spot. Standing apart from the staid tourist traps in the neighborhood, the Love Hate bar in Montreal features a bar on the ground floor and a lounge upstairs. In addition, there is the heated terrace which is a feature of the trendiest bars of the city. The interior is also unusual with the clubby gloss having been replaced by artwork showing the city’s underground and street scenes taken from the artists of the city. Besides the music at Love Hate is of much variety including an eclectic mélange of rock both classic (Hendrix, Joplin) and less-so (No Doubt, Oasis), funk, blues and old-school rap.

So, if you have not been to this astonishing place yet, you definitely are missing out on the fun. The success of Miami Ink has definitely helped Nunez and Ami to accomplish their dreams.

Miami Ink has been so successful that it has been aired in around 160 nations across the globe in various formats. It is really disappointing that the show will not continue after Season 4.

Our favorite TV show “Miami Ink” stars, Chris Nunez and Ami James have chosen Montreal as the first International setting for their rock bar, “Love Hate.”

The bar would open up for public from Thursday, 29^th January, 2009 from 8 pm onwards. It is situated on the corner of Notre-Dame Est and Place Jacques Cartier, in Old Montreal. It will be an awesome opportunity for media and fans to see their favorite tattoo masters. Amongst various high names of the tattoo world, people like Sterling Downey and Pierre Chaplan would be there.

The house where ‘Love Hate’ has been made, was built in 1800 on land gifted to Lambert Closse by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.

After the debut and success of reality TV show “Miami Ink” Love Hate (an American Band) was launched. The show shot Ami James and Chris Nunez to international fame and their brand has a wide variety of line ups like a tattoo parlor, a clothing line, a chopper shop, a couple of lounges and also Love Hate Productions.

The show simply rocks, and the success of other ventures, especially this bar in Montreal is a testimony of this fact.

I would be back with more news and updates.

Till then keep commenting in your feedbacks.

No more of ‘Miami Ink’

After the season four, ‘Miami Ink’ is over. Although we all were expecting another season of series, but TLC Network has made it clear that series would not return with fifth season.

Series was all about a tattoo shop and it took us into the depth of the tattoos world, giving closer view to the customers seeking to have tattoos. In each episode, we met a no. of customers with different backgrounds and with different reasons to choose their tattoos. Personal lives of the tattoo artists, Ami James, Chris Garver, Darren Brass and Chris Nunez, were also given an equal importance.

If you also want to have a tattoo and are ready to go to Miami, then, here’s the address of the shop- 1344 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139, phone (305) 531-4556. Give it a try! While watching the episodes of Miami Ink, we always feel like the customers simply walk in off the street, but actually they’re always pre-selected.

Among the popular celebrities, who appeared on ‘Miami Ink’, were Evan Seinfeld, musician; Sunny Garcia - Pro surfer; Bam Margera - Professional skateboarder, actor, prankster; Mark Zupan - Athlete; H2O - Band; Phil Varone - Musician; Anthony Bourdain - Chef/author/television personality; Harold Hunter - Skateboarder; Lloyd Banks - Rapper and Johnny Messner - Actor and the list continues…….. The customers include buddies from all walks of life and the very famous ones also.

When ‘Miami Ink‘ began, we watched all the tattoo artists working in the same shop. Later, they went their separate ways and opened their different tattoo parlous in Los Angeles. As the time passed by, they realized that they must reunite and open their tattoo parlor together.

Where is Miami Ink Season 5……………?

Hey all you tattoo fans. Now that Miami Ink has not returned for a fifth season and there is no news about reviving the season, it’s high time we accept the fact that the series has been terminated. I know it’s really sad and heart breaking and you have no reason to let your hopes die down. But while surfing the net, I just came across a news article which just sort of confirmed my worst fears. It has been reported that the Miami Ink Tattoo Shop, where the episodes of the reality show were actually shot has been turned into a gift shop. Now if you don’t call that confirmation of the series being axed, I can’t imagine what else to say? It is so bad that the series has been ended so abruptly. The series which was the only of its kind was really doing well and in my opinion should have been renewed for a few more seasons at least.

I did not really start watching the show until it was well half of the first season. But I really liked the show after I saw its two or three episodes. It was just wonderful to watch the amazing artist create wonderful designs on the bodies of other people. The show started a new fashion trend amongst which was soon popular with every age and class of society. At the same time it revived the age old art of Tattooing. It makes me really sad to see that such a wonderful show has seen such an abrupt ending. But I really do hope that some day the creators will realize their mistake and the series will be revived. Till then let’s keep hoping!!

Miami Ink (Tattoo) fans…. Attention!

When I started writing this post, I didn’t think to give it the above title. Initially, I thought to entitle it as ‘Chris Garver at Singapore’s First Tattoo show’. But, I changed it to the given one. Reason behind this change was that I thought – this one is better. Ha ha ha

Okay, please pay attention, what I am gonna tell you. Actually, Event Organizer, Tattoo.com.sg is going to hold the 1^st Singapore Tattoo show at the Singapore Expo from January 9-11, 2009. The event is going to be sponsored by Singapore Tourism Board. Well, all you tattoo lovers will be pleased to know that your heart throb Chris Graver of Miami Ink is the show ambassador.

All you must please go there (if it’s possible). The most famous tattooists will join it to showcase their tattoo talents and also to exhibit their unique collections. More than 5000 visitors are expected to attend the event and over 60 tattoo artists will adjoin them. I think, I’ve already mentioned that I’m crazy for tattoos and that’s why I love to watch ‘Miami Ink’ series. It’s the only one show of its kind and has recently finished airing the fourth season.

Nowadays, I am looking for the updates about season 5. Yesterday, I stumbled through several sites to grab some updates buy unluckily, I didn’t get even a single update regarding season 5. When they’re gonna air it? What will be new this time? What you expect from the next season… many queries are yet to be answered. Really… don’t know, what I should do, to have some information on season 5.

Okay, if you guys have any information regarding upcoming episodes, then, please let me know. I’m very curious to know. Nowadays, I am watching previous episodes of ‘Miami Ink’ in order to satisfy my lust of some more episodes. You can also watch the season 4 episodes here!

Miami Ink- what about Season 5?

Okay, let’s first talk about the Miami Ink season 4 as we don’t have any updates regarding season 5.

Season opened on April 24 with the episode entitled ‘Make or Break‘ and 13 episodes were aired during the season. Season finale ‘And Baby Makes Three‘ was aired on August 21 2008.

Now, it’s the time to think about upcoming season. When it’s gonna air and what’d be new and refreshing this time. Most probably, we’ll once again meet with a new shop and some new blood as they done in season 4. And, who’ll be appearing this time as a customer? Already we’ve seen various celebrity faces on series and the list includes Bam Margera, a professional Skateboarder as well as an actor; Phil Varone, a Musician; Johnny Messner, an Actor; Chris Jacobs, host of TLC’s Overhaulin; Paula Meronek, from MTV- the real world; Diablo Dimes, a Musician and many, many more.

Hey! Whom you expect in the new season…. Well, honestly I am looking for Britney Spears and Tom Cruise to appear. Yeah, yeah…, I know it’s not going to happen but just suppose, if it happens… things would be rocking. If Britney can appear on How I Met Your Mother, then why can’t on Miami Ink Season 5?

Hopes are high but we don’t have any information about upcoming season. It’s dead sure that series will be back, but when… I don’t know. If anyone from you knows about it, please, please let me know and what are your expectations from upcoming season (Mine… I’ve already told you!)

Wow!! Tattooing on Miami Ink

I really wanna have a Tattoo on my right arm and I’ve found the way to get it…. Yeah,

The star-cast of Miami Ink and I’m moving immediately to Miami Beach, Florida so that

I can have what I dream about!

Initially, I was not that crazy for Tattoos. But they started to attract me when a girl joined our crew in college years. She had a Tattoo on her neck. Trust me…. It was so sizzling and we all became fan of it. Yesterday, she met me after three years and refreshed my interest to have a tattoo. Now it’s tough for me to stop my self from having a Tattoo so I’ve finally decided to get it.

Well, I am a fan of Miami Ink series just because of series’ tattoo-based plot and it also takes us in depth of the tattooing world. Why a tattoo attracts someone and how should you decide or choose a Tattoo for yourself- all this is very well-answered on Miami Ink. In addition to that, Artist-client relationship is also well-represented on series. Each episode deals with a particular customer and also throws light on his/her motivations for choosing the Tattoos. It also makes us aware that people from all walks of life are crazy for Tattoos and the customers in Miami Ink include celebrities, Punk rockers and South Beach Socialites etc.

Miami Ink has successfully completed four seasons and hopefully we’ll have one more season from series very soon. If I go to Miami Beach, Florida, whom should I go to get a Tattoo? The options are- Ami James, Chris Garver, Darren Brass, Chris Nunez and their apprentice Yojiro Harada… well, I think I will go with Darren Brass, he has a background in graffiti style design work and after consulting with him, I’ll choose the shape of my Tattoo.

Why I’m telling all this to you? Actually, I want you to suggest me some cool Tattoos and also tell me… would it be okay to have my tattoo from Darren or I should think about someone else?
