A&E will be debuting Bad Ink, their latest reality series featuring tattoo artists, on August 11, 2013 at 10pm ET. The new show will premiere with back-to-back episodes featuring Las Vegas tattoo “aficionados” as they attempt to fix tattoo mistakes.
Details on Bad Ink [Per A&E]:
Bad Ink centers on Dirk Vermin, one of the nation’s most well-respected tattoo artists, and his best friend Ruckus as they go on the hunt for sin city’s worst ink jobs. From rebellious school kids to housewives to grandmothers, in Vegas, no one is immune from waking up and saying “What did I just do?” These people are this colorful duo’s primary targets, as Dirk and Ruckus ambush convention goers, tourists and locals alike, inspecting their awful art up close and personally.
For a lucky few, Dirk will be able to work his magic and transform the cringe-worthy eyesores into noteworthy masterpieces. Behind every tattoo in Vegas is often an amusing tale… but these guys will not let anyone they find leave the city a victim of bad ink!
In the season premiere episode at 10PM, Dirk and Ruckus get a desperate call from a Jacqui, a client whose birthday celebration turned into a tattoo nightmare she can’t forget. Later, they meet Alex, a man whose failed attempt at professing his love has left him with a tattoo scar that threatens his new relationship.
