Reality TV is still a trend on the upswing, and thus far shows about tattoo parlors have done quite well: L.A. Ink, Miami Ink and London Ink to name a few. So, how about Tampa Ink?
At first glance the new Tampa Ink might sound like the other tattoo themed reality shows out there, but producer Mike Cooper has a whole other direction in mind for his show. He wants the show to highlight a scholarly look at tattoos as art and history.
Cooper is a charter boat captain and has produced local fishing shows. Tampa Ink is his newest project. The show will show the bulk of its action in Addicted 2 Tattoos, Lenny Welch’s shop on North Florida Avenue in Tampa, Florida.
Welch has been designing and giving tattoos for 15 years. She is a graduate of the University of South Florida with a major in fine arts. She has a background in graphic design and dreams of one day opening a state certified school for tattoo artists.
Do you want to get some ink in front of the camera? You can go to the Addicted 2 Tattoos web site and fill out an application.
Cooper is still looking for a national cable channel to carry the show.
