current reality guilty pleasure: inked

i actually started watching a&e's new reality program inked while i was sitting in my hotel room flipping through channels one night.

the next thing i knew, i was not only hooked into the drama within the hart & huntington tattoo shop, but totally in love, i mean, admiration with co-owner and tattoo artist thomas pendelton.

though i've always had an admiration for a good tattoo, this show gives me newfound appreciation of how cute these artists really are... oh and their talents too!

for a bunch of macho tough guys, they sure do hug each other alot.
