"Best Ink" and One of Our Own...



Yes, it's true.....One of our own, Tat2 Dave Bein, has just returned from his round 2 interview for the casting of Season 2 of "Best Ink" best-ink.oxygen.com
 After receiving an email invite from the casting
folks at the show
, and after much persuasion from friends and family, Dave has made the trip there and back and is just awaiting "The Call." We were a little skeptical about all the reality shows that are based on tattooing as it was, so this was no simple decision. Not only was it a family decision, but a professional decision as well. I mean really, some of these shows make it look like you can just walk into a shop and walk out in 2 hrs with a complete sleeve!! Better yet, you can now go to "Tattoo School" for two to four weeks and get certified to be a tattooer!! You have to be kidding me!! That's like going to a cardiologist that has just graduated from a two week program, for open heart surgery!! Maybe a little extreme, but you get my point.
Why not go on a national show and have the opportunity to let people know the actual reality of the industry. After 23yrs tattooing experience, he must have some idea what is going on.. Right?! lol ;-) Seriously though, as much jaw jacking that goes on about whether these shows are scripted or not, when opportunity knocks, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth! (I think that's how it should go!! hehe!!)
I wanna hear how people feel about Tattoo shows as well as thoughts on our Master Tattoo Artist, Dave Bein, taking part in the casting for Season 2 of "Best Ink." best-ink.oxygen.com
