I HATE MY TATTOO makes its mark on SLICE
THINK BEFORE YOU INK – A quarter of North Americans take no heed to this common, often ignored, warning. We’ve sampled these stories in a new show coming to SLICE. Almost everyone with a tattoo carries at least 1 blunder on their body, with the same desperate cry: I HATE MY TATTOO! In our latest production, we hear 3 tattoo regrets in need of a cover-up. We’ve called in some of the world’s best tattoo artists to take on the daunting task of not only designing a new a work of art, but making sure the client’s awful mistake is a thing of the past. The stakes are high, and failure is not an option. Between the buzz of the tattoo machine and the emotional, physical pain our candidates endure, tension mounts as the artists, clients (and audience), wait in anticipation over the jaw-dropping reveals.
(I HATE MY TATTOO airs TUESDAY AUGUST 19 @ 9pm/ET on SLICE)
