LA INK: Comics, Nueroscience and Hula-Hoops!

On today’s show it starts out with a neuroscientist who wants a tat of a skeleton, who by the way has a very large dome, who is reading a book on what else, neuroscience. I guess it looked pretty cool. Kat was going off about how there’s such a stigma about tattoos and the people that wear them aren’t that intelligent. There are intelligent people in all walks of life but you don’t have to brute over it and and give me the woe’s me and and we’re so misunderstood. Just keep tattin’ woman!

OK, here’s a really good one. A guy comes in to get a pinup done on his forearm but what he does not know is that his wife has had Hannah develop a pinup that incorporates his mom’s fight with breast cancer. I thought it turned out awesome. It was a pinup of a lady on a swing, but the swing was in the shape of the pink cancer ribbon and there were roses that draped over the part of her chest that covered her missing breast. Wow, that was powerful. Most of these shows are always a bit disjointed, just because every tattoo  has a different story and at the same time the show tries to develop it’s cast members lives. Saying that, Corey tattoos his kid’s babysitter. He trades a tattoo for babysitting services. Way to go Corey. On this episode, Kim and friends go to do some hula hoopin with one of her clients, who is a professional.  It was pretty funny to see but the bonding with Kim and the new cast members was pretty cool to see. I think that every tattoo artist on this show is very talented, but Hannah, has a hidden talent and that is her love of drawing comics and she finally is getting serious and drew the Kat, Kim, Corey and herself and unveiled it to them. Hannah is really lacking self-confidence in comic arena and was tip-toeing around the idea of pursuing an interest. She has a lot of talent and really should stop worrying about what other people are going to say. Keep drawing Hannah, I was impressed. But then again, who am I? Peace
