Tattoo Nightmares Miami (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Birth Marks the Spot - full transcript

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE,

THERE'S NOTHING WORSE
THAN A BAD TATTOO.

NOW THREE ARTISTS
HAVE COME TOGETHER

TO TAKE ON MIAMI'S
MOST IMPOSSIBLE

TATTOO NIGHTMARES.

- MIAMI'S MY HOME.

YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE NOW.

- DON'T LET THIS PRETTY FACE
FOOL YOU.

I'M ALL BUSINESS, BABY.

- LOVE ME OR HATE ME,

THE WORK ALWAYS
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.



THEY'RE GOING UP AGAINST

THE MOST INSANE
ORIGINAL TATTOOS...

I WANT A TATTOO
IN MY ARMPIT.

- SERIOUSLY, THE ARMPIT?

AND OUTRAGEOUS COVER-UPS.

- WHY THE NIPPLE,
OUT OF ALL THE PLACES?

- CALL 911!

- DAMN.

THIS IS
TATTOO NIGHTMARES: MIAMI.

- OH.

- WHAT THE--

THINK I SHOULD JUMP HIM?

WHAT'S UP, DUDE?

IT GETS COLD IN HERE
LATE AT NIGHT.



- OH.

- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- YOU KNOW, I WAS TRYING
TO GET SOME DRAWING IN

LATE LAST NIGHT.

- THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL HER?

- SERIOUSLY, WERE YOU
CHRISTENING THE SHOP?

- THIS WAS MY GIRLFRIEND
LAST NIGHT.

**

- THANKS FOR WAKING ME UP,
THOUGH.

- YOU'RE WELCOME.

I WAS, LIKE, THINKING
ABOUT JUMPING ON YOU,

BUT THEN THIS GUY
WANTED TO CUDDLE, SO...

YOU KNOW, WHEN HE'S WILLING
TO BEND THAT MOHAWK,

THAT MEANS LOVE.

- I GOT MOHAWK ACTION,

AND I WASN'T EVEN AWAKE FOR IT?

THE FUNNY THING IS,
IS WHEN I MET REESE,

I THOUGHT THAT SHE
WAS ALL SERIOUS.

- I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA
COME IN HERE

AND HIT ME WITH
SOME SIDEWAYS ART LINGO.

- I'M NOT LIKE THAT.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ARE LIKE,

"OH, THAT'S SO, LIKE, ART DECO,

AND IT'S IN THE BAROQUE PERIOD
OF LIFE."

- I'VE BEEN IN THE "BROKE"
PERIOD OF LIFE.

- I'M STILL HERE.

- YOU'RE SCREWED.

HI, WELCOME TO THE SHOP.
I'M REESE.

- HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.

- WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
- MY NAME'S DAVID.

- DAVID.

- CLINT.
- CLINT, NICE TO MEET YOU, MAN.

WHAT'S UP, MY NAME'S DAVID.
- HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

- MAN, I GOT A TATTOO, BUT I
GOT TO GET IT OFF MY BACK, MAN.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF Y'ALL CAN RECOGNIZE IT.

- OKAY, I'M READY.

- Y'ALL READY FOR THIS?

- GIVE US THE GOODS.
- ALL RIGHT.

- OH!

- DAMN.

- DAMN, THAT IS BAD.
- NO!

- NO WAY.

- WHAT IS THAT?
- WHOA.

- IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A LION.

- A LION?

THAT LOOKS LIKE A DOG.

- LOOK LIKE A EWOK.

- I BROKE THE LAW
TO GET A TATTOO

I INSTANTLY REGRETTED.

MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS LAUGH
EVERY TIME THEY SEE MY TATTOO,

SO I NEED ONE OF THEM TO
HELP ME OUT AND FIX MY TATTOO.

- WOW, MAN.

WHY DID HE MAKE HIM SO SAD?

DAVID'S TATTOO LOOKS LIKE THIS;
IT'S LIKE...

- SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT?

- WELL...

- UH...

- WHY DON'T WE ROCHAMBEAU IT?

LOSER TAKES IT.

- DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

- IT'S ALL GOOD, YOU KNOW.

- ALL RIGHT, OKAY.

RO-CHAM-BEAU.

YOU LOSER--

WINNER, WINNER.

BYE, GUYS, HAVE A GOOD ONE.

- LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE THE MAN
TO TAKE CARE OF ME, MAN.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

- I ALMOST FEEL BAD FOR MYSELF.

THIS IS THE WORST THING
THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.

THE BIGGEST TATTOO

THAT I'VE EVER HAD
TO COVER UP IN MY CAREER,

AND WITH DARK SKIN.

IT'S A PROBLEM
WHEN IT COMES DOWN

TO COLORING THE ACTUAL TATTOO

WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN BLACK.

- AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER MYSELF,
AND AS AN ARTIST,

YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE
IT DOESN'T REPRESENT ME

AND WHAT I CAN DO.

- WHAT ARE YOU THINKING
OF GETTING?

- THINKING ABOUT GETTING
A RAM'S HEAD

TO REPRESENT STRENGTH AND POWER,

AS FAR AS IN MY LIFE AND THINGS
THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH.

I'M A LITTLE BIT
OF A BATTERING RAM, MYSELF.

SO IT KIND OF FITS IN
ALONG WITH MY PERSONALITY.

PLUS, IT TIES INTO--
I'M AN ARIES.

- THIS IS A HUGE COVER-UP.

- MM-HMM.

- I'M A GO TO THE BACK,

PUT MY THINKING CAP ON.

- ALL RIGHT.

- CHILL OUT, MAN.
- HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS.

- DAVID'S TATTOO IS WAY MORE

THAN JUST ADDING HORNS ON THERE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING
THAT IS REALLY INTIMIDATING

AND A LOT MORE NERVE-RACKING
THAN YOUR AVERAGE COVER-UP.

I'M JUST GONNA GIVE IT MY BEST
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

- HEY, HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

- CLINT, RIGHT?
- YEAH.

- HEY, I'M BLARE;
NICE TO MEET YOU.

I'M A HUGE FAN
OF YOUR WORK, DUDE.

YOU KNOW, I SAW INK MASTER.

- OH, THANKS.

- I GOT SOMETHING THAT
I NEED COVERED UP REALLY BAD.

- LET ME SEE WHAT YOU GOT.

- THERE YOU GO.

- OH, MY GOD.

THAT THING IS CRAZY.

- YOU LIKE THAT?
- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

- IT'S A BIRTHMARK, DUDE.

- WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE
WANTING TO DO?

- COVER IT UP SO IT'S NOT JUST
A BLOB OF BROWN, OR SOMETHING.

- YOU WANT ME TO TATTOO
THAT BIRTHMARK?

- YEAH.

- IT'S A GIANT MOLE!

IT'S HUGE!
IT'S, LIKE, THIS BIG.

IT'S ANOTHER FACE!

CAN'T TATTOO THAT.

YOU GOT TO CUT IT OFF,
OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

WEAR A SOCK.

- I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IT
MY WHOLE LIFE, MAN.

I WORK WITH A LOT
OF KINDERGARTEN KIDS.

EVERY YEAR, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL,
IT'S ALWAYS LIKE, "WHAT'S THAT?"

I GOT TO GO THROUGH IT
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I WAS BORN WITH THIS BIRTHMARK

THAT HAS HINDERED ME
FOR SO LONG.

AND EVERYBODY WEARS SHORTS,

AND I WOULD ALWAYS
USUALLY WEAR PANTS,

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT
TO HAVE ANYBODY NOTICE IT.

IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
TO GET IT COVERED UP.

- I DON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE
WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

- DON'T TELL ME NO, MAN, PLEASE.

- MY MAIN CONCERN RIGHT NOW
IS HEALTH WISE.

- THAT'S WHAT EVERY OTHER ARTIST
HAS SAID.

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE WONDERING.

I TALKED TO A DERMATOLOGIST
ABOUT IT.

I HAVE HIS NUMBER RIGHT HERE,

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM
A JINGLE.

- I HAVE NEVER WORKED
ON ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU CAN
WORK ON ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I HAVE TO COVER ALL BASES

BEFORE I EVEN CONSIDER
WORKING ON THIS GUY,

BECAUSE IF ANYTHING COMES UP

AND THEY GIVE ME
RED FLAGS OR ANYTHING,

AND YOU'RE OUT.

I HAVE A GENTLEMAN HERE
THAT IS A PATIENT OF YOURS.

- BLARE.
BLARE DUOS.

- YEAH.

- OKAY, WELL,
THAT HELPS ME OUT A LOT.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- I'VE HAD THIS 34 YEARS,

AND IT HASN'T CHANGED.

AND I THINK IT'S WORTH
GETTING IT DONE.

- I TAKE IT YOU MIGHT
HAVE SOME IDEAS, MAYBE.

- YES, BOATING IS
A BIG PART OF MY LIFE,

SO MAYBE SOMETHING UNDERWATER,
WITH AN ANCHOR.

- LET'S GO BACK HERE AND SEE
WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.

- OKAY.

- NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN,
WHEN I DO A COVER-UP,

I CAN'T HAVE ANY LIMITATIONS.

AND RIGHT NOW I'M KIND OF DOING
A COVER-UP THAT I CAN'T TATTOO.

THAT'S A NEW ONE.

- THAT'S AS SERIOUS
AS IT GETS, RIGHT THERE.

- NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

- I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT.

- AND, I'M HONESTLY--
I DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT'S GONNA DO
WHEN I TATTOO IT.

- SO, WHAT, YOU'RE JUST GONNA
TATTOO, LIKE, RIGHT UP TO IT?

- SOMETHING.

- LEAVE Y'ALL TWO ALONE

SO YOU CAN GET ACQUAINTED.

THANK YOU.

- DAMN.

- HI.

- HI, ARE YOU REESE?

- I AM REESE.

- HI, MY NAME'S JAMIE.
HOW ARE YOU?

- HI, JAMIE, NICE TO MEET YOU.

- YOU TOO.

- WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

- I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP.
- OKAY.

- I WAS KIND OF PRESSURED
INTO GETTING THIS TATTOO.

- PRESSURE AND TATTOOS
NEVER MIX.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD
AND SEE THIS THING.

OH, NO.

YOU HAVE, LIKE, A DRAGON,

AND A--WHAT IS THAT,
A CHINESE SYMBOL?

- YEAH.

- OH, YEAH, THAT'S A DOOZY.

GETTING THIS TATTOO
IS A PERMANENT REGRET.

EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT,
I'M REMINDED OF THE FACT

THAT I DIDN'T STAND UP
FOR MYSELF.

- YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY
VERY DARK.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARRED HERE
IN SOME OF THE AREAS.

JAMIE LOOKS VERY FEMININE,

BUT THEN YOU SEE THIS BLACK
DRAGON MONSTROSITY ON HER ARM.

SHE LOOKS LIKE
A BIKER CHICK ALMOST.

THAT DEFINITELY
IS NOT SOMETHING VERY FEMININE.

- IT'S SO MASCULINE.

AND I'M A SEXUAL EDUCATOR.

- AH.

- AND SO IT'S MY JOB

TO HELP THEM EMBRACE
THEIR OWN FEMININITY.

- OH, THAT'S AWESOME.

- BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE
TO EMBRACE MY OWN FEMININITY.

AND IT'S KIND OF BEEN A BLOW
TO MY SELF-ESTEEM.

- OH, YEAH, I BET.

- BUT NOW ESPECIALLY
WITH INTIMACY

WITH MY HUSBAND,

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I LOOK LIKE A MAN

WITH THIS TATTOO.

- I UNDERSTAND THAT.

YOU NEED IT TO REPRESENT
SOMETHING THAT'S YOU

AND TO BE FEMININE
AT THE SAME TIME.

- YES.

- SO, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
OF COVERING IT UP WITH?

- I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING
TWO POCKET WATCHES

AND HAVING EACH ONE SET
TO MY CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAYS.

- OH, AWESOME.

- I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN,

AND THEY LOOK
AND MAKE FUN OF IT.

- GOTCHA.

- SO IT'S SOMETHING
THAT WOULD MEAN

SOMETHING TO ME.

- LET ME SEE
WHAT I CAN COME UP WITH,

AND I'LL COME BACK.

- ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD.
- AWESOME.

- THANK YOU.

- ALL RIGHT.

- OH, SNAP.

OH, THAT'S GONNA BE HOT
RIGHT NOW.

HIGH NOON'S SKETCH BLEW ME AWAY.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

BUT AS AN ARTIST,
IT'S HARD FOR ME

TO PUT THAT FAITH
IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S ARTWORK

THAT YOU'RE GONNA PUT
ON YOUR BODY.

- HOW DID YOU GET
THIS SAD PUPPY DOG ON YOUR BACK?

- MAN, THIS TATTOO
IS SO JACKED UP.

MY LAST ARTIST WAS ON DRUGS.

- IT SHOWS.

- YOU DAVID, FOOL?

- AND I SAID, "YEAH, I'M DAVID."

- THIS FOR YOU.

- I'M ASSUMING
IT'S THE TATTOO SUPPLIES,

AND I THROW IT IN THE BACK.

- 5-0!
5-0!

- I'M REALLY HOPING
THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS

WHEN I START WORKING
ON BLARE'S BIRTHMARK.

WHEN I PUT THIS NEEDLE IN,

I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT'S GOING DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BLEED
OR SEIZE UP OR WHAT.

I'M JUST GONNA STICK IT IN
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

- MM, HOLY CRAP.

- ALL RIGHT, MAN,
TELL ME THE SAD, SAD STORY

ABOUT THIS MESSED-UP PUPPY DOG.

- I'M A GRAPHIC ARTIST.

I WAS MEETING A CLIENT
AT A STRIP CLUB.

- WHICH ONE,
THE ONE NEXT DOOR?

- YEAH, YOU KNOW,
IT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,
SO, YOU KNOW...

- THIS IS WHAT I NEED,

A LITTLE PRE-MEETING
INSPIRATION.

- I RAN INTO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW
AND A FRIEND OF HIS.

HE INTRODUCED ME TO THE FRIEND,
AND, YOU KNOW, HE TOLD ME...

- I'M ABOUT TO OPEN UP
MY TATTOO SHOP.

- I WOULD DO A COMPANY LOGO
FOR HIS SHOP.

IN RETURN, HE WOULD GIVE
MY WIFE AND I SOME FREE TATTOOS.

- WE GOT A DEAL?

- I'M IN.

- WHOO!

- THAT'S CRAZY.

- YEAH.

BEFORE I LEFT, THE ARTIST,

HE PASSES ME AN ADDRESS.

- I NEED YOU TO PICK UP
A FEW SUPPLIES FOR ME.

- SURE.

- YOU KNOW, THE NEXT DAY,
WE GO GET THE SUPPLIES, RIGHT?

- WHERE--
- I DON'T KNOW.

- I THINK WE'RE HERE.

- NEXT THING I KNOW,
THIS GUY, LOOKING KIND OF SHADY,

HE WALKS UP TO THE CAR
AND IS LIKE...

- YOU DAVID, FOOL?

- AND I SAY, "YEAH, I'M DAVID."

- HERE, THIS FOR YOU.

- HE PASSES ME THIS
BIG, BROWN PAPER BAG.

ASSUMING THIS IS
THE TATTOO SUPPLIES,

AND I THROW IT IN THE BACK.

- 5-0!
5-0!

- GOD.
- WHERE IS HE--

- WHAT IS HE DOING?

- HO-HO-HO.

NONE OF THE SUPPLIES I WORK WITH
COME LIKE THAT, MAN.

- NO, NOT THAT I KNOW OF EITHER.

SO WE GOT TO THE TATTOO SHOP.

- OH, I GUESS HE NEEDED
THE SUPPLIES.

- I GUESS HE DID.

- JEEZ.

- WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A TATTOO TIME.

- AND STARTS GOING TO WORK,
YOU KNOW.

SO, AFTER A WHILE,
HE GETS UP AND HE'S LIKE...

- I AM KILLIN' IT!

I DESERVE A BREAK.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A BREAK?

- MAN, GUESS WHAT I SEE.

- MAN, WHAT THE HELL, MAN!

- AH!
OH, MY GOD!

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- PULLED UP WITH WHITE STUFF
ALL OVER HIS FACE.

YEAH, HE WAS,
LIKE, TWEAKING, MAN.

IT WAS SO CRAZY.

- YOU MUST HAVE FREAKED.

- I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT MY TATTOO

AND SEE WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT.

- IT'S NOT GOOD, BABY.

- WHAT YOU MEAN,
IT'S NOT GOOD?

- IT'S NOT GOOD.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SEE.

IT DIDN'T LOOK NOTHING
LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO.

- AND I HOPE IT WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THAT.

- NO WAY.

YOU KNOW, SO...

- WE OUT, MAN.
- WE OUT!

- WE OUT!
- WE OUT!

- Y'ALL GOING?

- WE WAS SO PISSED OFF
THAT WE JUST LEFT OUT OF THERE.

- AH.

- YOU WERE ACCESSORY
TO A DRUG RUN.

- YES, I WAS ACCESSORY
TO A DRUG RUN.

AND IF PEOPLE WERE TO SEE
THIS TATTOO,

HOW WOULD THEY TAKE ME SERIOUSLY
AS AN ARTIST?

- I CAN'T LET YOU
GO ON REPRESENTING

WITH ALL THIS CRAZINESS
ON YOUR BACK, MAN.

I'MA GO AHEAD AND GET YOU
SOME MORE CLIENTS

WHEN YOU WALK DOWN THE BEACH.

- THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

- I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO MASK THIS THING

INTO SOME ROCK STRUCTURE.

IN ORDER TO MAKE
THIS COVER-UP WORK,

I GOT TO COME UP WITH A COLOR

THAT'S GONNA MATCH
HIS BIRTHMARK.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
THAT I REALLY FEEL

THAT I CAN MASK THIS THING,

IS BY MAKING THE ROCKS
THAT I'M GONNA ADD

BEHIND THIS ANCHOR

THE SAME COLOR VALUE
AS THE BIRTHMARK.

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I GOT HERE,
SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

SO...

- OH, MAN.

WOW!

YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE CLINT
IS VERY, VERY HESITANT

ON TATTOOING OVER MY BIRTHMARK.

AND NOW I'M FEELING
VERY NERVOUS.

- MY MAIN GOAL TODAY
IS TO MAKE THAT THING DISAPPEAR,

BUT I HAVE NO IDEA
IF THIS IS GONNA BE

EVEN FEASIBLE TO DO.

- ALL RIGHTY.

SO I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU.

- OKAY.
- ARE YOU EXCITED?

- I'M EXCITED.
- OKAY.

- WHAT I'M MOST NERVOUS ABOUT,
HONESTLY,

IS, IF THERE'S AN ASPECT ABOUT
THE COVER-UP THAT I DON'T LIKE,

I'M AFRAID THAT I'M JUST
GONNA BE LIKE,

"OH, YEAH, IT LOOKS GREAT."

AND THEN I'M GONNA DO THE SAME
THING THAT I DID 13 YEARS AGO.

- SO HERE WE HAVE IT.

- I WANTED THE BOW TO BASICALLY
BE THE COVER-UP,

AND THEN MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE YOUR SKIN

IS KIND OF OPENING UP,

AND WE HAVE, LIKE,
THE GEARS IN THERE.

- OKAY.

- SO, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

DO YOU LIKE IT?

- YEAH.
- AWESOME.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA GO
AHEAD AND MAKE A STENCIL, OKAY?

- OKAY.

I AM FEELING SO SCARED

BECAUSE THIS TATTOO
IS A LITTLE MASCULINE,

AND SO THERE WERE
CERTAIN ASPECTS OF IT

THAT I'M NOT REALLY LIKING.

SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

- SURE.

- CAN WE DO IT
WITHOUT, LIKE,

JUST, LIKE, THE GEARS,
LIKE, THIS PART RIGHT HERE?

- DO YOU NOT WANT THE GEARS
AT ALL IN THERE?

- NO.

- WELL, SO,
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

LIKE...

- I WAS JUST ENVISIONING,

LIKE, THE POCKET WATCHES
BEING ON TOP

AND NOT HAVING IT
LIKE THERE'S ANYTHING...

- GOING ON UNDER--

- LIKE, TEARING
UNDERNEATH MY SKIN.

- GOTCHA.

- I JUST DON'T WANT
TO GET ANOTHER TATTOO

THAT I DON'T LOVE.

- NO, NO, NO,
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT
TO BE DOING THAT FOR YOU.

- YEAH.

- WHEN I SHOWED JAMIE
THE DESIGN,

HER REACTION WAS, "I LIKE IT."

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HIT
A HIGH NOTE LIKE THAT,

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A LITTLE FIB
SHE'S TELLING ME.

SO I KNEW THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG.

SO NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT I COULD DO
TO MAKE HER HAPPY.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO
MAKE IT MORE FEMININE.

WE ALSO GOT TO
COVER UP A TATTOO.

SO WE HAVE TO COMPROMISE.

SO LET ME GO BACK.

- OKAY.

- YOU READY?

- LET'S DO IT.

- I'M REALLY HOPING
THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS

WHEN I START WORKING
ON BLARE'S BIRTHMARK.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING
HAS BEEN BUILDING UP

TO THIS POINT.

I'M KIND OF SWEATING OVER HERE,

'CAUSE THERE'S
A LOT OF VARIABLES

THAT WE NEVER DEAL WITH BEFORE.

WHEN I PUT THIS NEEDLE IN,

I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT'S GOING DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BLEED
OR SEIZE UP OR WHAT.

I JUST GOT TO TAKE
A DEEP BREATH,

GO FOR IT,
AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

I'M JUST GONNA STICK IT IN
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

OH, MY GOD.

- YOU READY?

- LET'S DO IT, MAN.

- I'VE NEVER DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE,

SO THIS IS KIND OF, LIKE,
NEW TO ME.

I'M REALLY HOPING
THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS

WHEN I START WORKING
ON BLARE'S BIRTHMARK.

WE'RE GONNA GO JUST SEE

IF THIS IS EVEN
THAT'S FEASIBLE TO BE DONE.

I'M JUST GONNA STICK IT IN
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

THIS IS GONNA BE HIS ONE SHOT.

GOT IT SO FAR.

I'M GRINDING ON IT NOW.

- YEAH, YOU GOT IT?

- SO FAR, PRETTY GOOD.

BUT WE'LL FIND OUT.

HOPEFULLY, IF THIS CONTINUES,
THIS IS GONNA BE

ONE OF THE CRAZIEST COVER-UPS
I'VE EVER DONE.

YEAH, THAT'S A MONSTER.

- I'M REALLY TAKING
A CHANCE HERE.

I'M JUST HOPING THAT WE CAN
JUST USE THE SAME PATTERN,

BUT IN A VERY FEMININE,
BUT STRONG WAY.

GOOD LUCK TO ME.

JAMIE, SHE'S ALREADY HAD
A BAD EXPERIENCE

WITH ONE TATTOO
BECAUSE SHE WAS PEER-PRESSURED

INTO GETTING IT THE FIRST TIME.

AND SO NOW IS THE POINT WHERE,
AS AN ARTIST,

IT'S LIKE,
"I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY."

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- OH, MY GOSH.

- MUCH BETTER?

- I LIKE THAT, YEAH.

- OKAY, OKAY.

- THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

- AWESOME.

- I'M SO THANKFUL
THAT I TALKED WITH REESE

ABOUT THE DESIGN,

BECAUSE SHE CAME BACK
WITH SOMETHING

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

- SO, JAMIE, HOW'D YOU END UP
WITH SUCH A MASCULINE TATTOO?

- I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE COOL MOM.

- JAMIE, WHY CAN'T YOUR MOM
BE MY MOM?

- AND SO WE WERE ALL OVER,

AND WE WERE SITTING
IN THE LIVING ROOM,

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY MOM
JUST JUMPS UP; SHE'S LIKE...

- GIRLS, WE SHOULD
ALL GET TATTOOS.

- YEAH.

- YOUR MOM, REALLY?
- YES.

I WANTED TO FIT IN
WITH MY FRIENDS.

I WANTED TO PLEASE MY MOM.

- YES, I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT.

- AND SO I WENT ALONG WITH IT.

- OF COURSE, ESPECIALLY
IT'S YOUR MOM'S IDEA.

TATTOO ROAD TRIP!

- TATTOO!

- WHEN WE GOT TO THE SHOP,

MY MOM ASKED ME
WHAT I WAS GONNA GET.

- THAT ONE.

- I JUST POINTED
TO THE FIRST THING I SAW,

A DRAGON AND A CHINESE SYMBOL.

- COOL, LET'S DO IT.

LET'S GO, YEAH.

- WHEN THE ARTIST WAS DONE,

I KIND OF SECRETLY
PULLED THE ARTIST ASIDE.

I SAID...

- WHAT DOES THIS CHINESE
TATTOO THINGY MEAN?

- OH, NO!

SO YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS

BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT THE TATTOO.

- YOU GOT A TATTOO AND YOU DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

- YOU'RE LUCKY,
BECAUSE YOU PICKED

A SYMBOL THAT MEANS "WOMAN."

- YAY.

- SO NOW I UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU CHANGED MY DESIGN.

WE DON'T WANT YOU DOING
THE SAME THING.

"OH, NO, I DON'T WANT THIS."

- YEAH, AND I HATED IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T
STAND UP FOR MYSELF.

AND SO THIS TATTOO AFFECTED
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY MOM

BECAUSE OF THE FACT
THAT I WAS RESENTFUL

AND THAT I WAS DISAPPOINTED.

AND I WANT TO LET THAT GO.

- ALL RIGHT, GIRL.

I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE PROUD TO SHOW OFF.

- AWESOME, THANK YOU.

- THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT IT'S WORKING OUT GREAT.

- WHEW.

DAVID, WE ARE DONE, YO.

- WHAT'S UP, MAN?

- I'M REALLY NERVOUS
TO SHOW DAVID HIS TATTOO,

BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE BIGGEST COVER-UP

I HAVE EVER DONE
IN MY ENTIRE CAREER.

SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK.

- OH, MY GOD.

FOR REAL?

DAMN!

IT'S GONE;
IT'S ABSOLUTELY GONE, MAN.

DAMN.

I LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT MY NEW TATTOO.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY GREAT.

I LOVE THE HORNS.

I LOVE THE MUZZLE IN THE FRONT.

THE EYES ARE VERY STRONG
AND EVERYTHING.

I JUST LOVE IT TO DEATH.

WHAT?

SAVED MY LIFE, MAN, FOR REAL.

- TO MAKE DAVID'S COVER-UP WORK,

I DEFINITELY HAD TO USE
DARK SHADING,

JUST TO GO AHEAD AND SATURATE

A LOT OF THE HARD LINES
THAT WERE THERE.

I HAD TO POSITION THE NEW DESIGN
OVER THAT MIDDLE MUZZLE AREA.

- THAT BOY DID THAT WORK, MAN,
FOR REAL.

AIN'T BUYING NO MORE SHIRTS.

I'M NOT WEARING SHIRTS
FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

IT'S OVER WITH.

I'M SHOWCASING MY TATTOO
EVERY SINGLE DAY.

- YOU ARE DONE, GIRL.

- OHH.

WITH REESE TODAY,
I ACTUALLY STOOD UP FOR MYSELF,

SO HOPEFULLY THIS TATTOO
IS SOMETHING THAT I LOVE.

- I'M GONNA STEP TO THE SIDE,

SO I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

- DO YOU LIKE IT?

- IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I CAN'T EVEN SEE
WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS.

- GOOD, THAT'S WHAT
I WANT TO HEAR.

I WAS SO NERVOUS.

- OH, MY GOSH.

THIS TATTOO IS SO MUCH MORE
FEMININE THAN WHAT I HAD BEFORE.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

REESE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB.

THIS TATTOO IS GOING TO MEAN
A LOT FOR MY CHILDREN.

IT'S A PHYSICAL REMINDER
OF HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM

AND HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

- DOES IT LOOK FEMININE?

- IT DOES.
- OKAY, GOOD.

- WITH THE RIBBON AND THE BEADS
AND THE BOW.

- IN ORDER TO COVER UP
JAMIE'S TATTOO,

I USED A VERY RIBBED BOW,

A LOT OF TEXTURE IN THAT BOW,

AND THEN I USED THE RIBBONS
TO KIND OF WRAP AROUND HER ARM

SO WE HAVE THIS MOVEMENT
THAT REALLY JUST TAKES YOUR EYES

AWAY FROM THE TOP WHERE
THE COVER-UP ACTUALLY EXISTS.

- I FINALLY FEEL
LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING

THAT'S IN TOUCH
WITH MY FEMININE SIDE.

- I'M SO HAPPY YOU LOVE IT.

- I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON,

BECAUSE THIS TIME
I DID IT RIGHT,

AND I ACTUALLY STOOD UP
FOR MYSELF,

SO IT WAS A VERY HUGE MOMENT
FOR ME.

- ALL RIGHT, GIRL, HAVE FUN.

- THANK YOU SO MUCH, REESE.

- BYE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT,
I THINK WE'RE DONE.

I'VE DONE THEM ALL,
AND I'VE SEEN THEM ALL.

YOU KNOW, THE BIRTHMARK'S
JUST BRAND-NEW TO ME,

SO I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT IT,

AND I DAMN SURE
HOPE HE LIKES IT.

CHECK IT OUT.

- NO WAY.

OH, MY GOD.

DUDE, YOU NAILED IT, MAN.

IT'S NOT EVEN THERE.

OH, MY GOD.

CLINT, HE DIDN'T JUST
HIT A HOME RUN.

HE HIT A GRAND SLAM
AND THREW A PERFECT GAME.

THIS IS A COOL TATTOO.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, MAN.

THIS IS TRULY SOMETHING
SPECIAL HERE.

- HIS BIRTHMARK SITS
REALLY HIGH UP ON HIS LEG,

SO I PUT HIS BIRTHMARK INSIDE

SOME UNDERWATER,
YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPE,

AND THEN I USED AN ANCHOR
TO MAKE IT A FOCAL POINT.

- YOU GUYS WANT TO COME
OVER HERE AND CHECK THIS OUT?

- SURE DO, MAN.

OH, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.

- NOBODY'S GONNA
SEE THAT ANYMORE.

- OH, MY GOD.

- WHOA.

- HOLY NO-MOLE-Y.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE THAT THING IS.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.

- YEAH, IT'S GONE.

- COME HERE, MAN.

I GOT TO DO IT AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS IS A BRAND-NEW LIFE FOR ME.

I'M A DIFFERENT GUY.

I WOULD ONLY WEAR PANTS.

NOW I'M ONLY WEARING SHORTS.

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.

- I'M PROUD OF IT.

I'M NOT GONNA LIE,

I WAS SCARED, MAN.

- YOU DID IT, BRO.

- YOU TOTALLY DID IT.

BUT NOW THINK OF ALL THE CLIENTS
YOU'RE GONNA GET

NOW THAT YOU'VE
COVERED UP THAT THING.

- YEAH.

- HE'S THE MOLEY MASTER!

OH, CLINT.

- COME HERE, BABY.
