TATTOO HIGHWAY on A&E Review

tattoo_highway

Tonight, May 27, A&E will premiere its new real life series, TATTOO HIGHWAY, at 10pm.

Tattoo Highway follows Thomas Pendelton (star of former A&E’s “Inked”) and his mobile tattoo shop as they go on the road to different cities including Los Angeles, Phoenix and Salt Lake City meeting people that they will tattoo and learning about their true life stories.

After watching the first episode, I can say that Tattoo Highway is pretty much Miami Ink on wheel. I personally really enjoy watching Miami Ink and so enjoyed Tattoo Highway as well. Although I have to say that so far I feel that some of the stories of the people they tattoo are a little less compelling than in Miami Ink or LA Ink. I’m not sure why yet, maybe it’s the way the show is edited together.

On the other side, I feel we take more of a journey with Thomas Pendelton that will not only change the lives of people he tattoos, but also his life.

I am usually not a fan of reality shows, but these types of series are different because they show a real life stories. So if you too enjoy these stories or just like tattoos, you might want to give Tattoo Highway a chance when it premieres tonight at 10pm on A&E.

    This is what people need to see, real life events rather than some put together fake production. You want the impression that this is an authentic show with real characters.There is enough BS in the media main stream already , we don’t need another. I guess all we can do is see how this all plays out and what happens.

    I am part native american and I have 4 navite american tattoos now. M y dpd was veru speaial to me amd I lost me him, to so horrible ,mecical conditation. Please dont get me wrong, it was better for him to go than to keep haveing to suffer the way he did. I lost him about 5 years ago and it still to this days tears my heat to pieces.I dont think there is a day that goes by that I dont think about hime of cry over hi. I currently have 4 tattoos that all have very special meaning to me and are assoicated to the american way of life. all of my tattoos have spercial meaning behind them and the tatto of my dad that I would like to hvae done is a piece that I have come up on one to sybolize him and his life. its an origianal peice. but I dont just trust anyone to do it, and I think that Thomas would be the best tattoo artist who could do it justice for me. I ive in Tennessee and one of the last things that my dad stands out in my head was when I graduated with my LPN in Sept. and stated to me, no I can die a happy man. that was in Oct of 2003 andhe died in May of 2004. It totally devastated myself, my brotthe, and my oldest son who thought of his grandfather as his dad because his own dad did’nt five a hoot about him at that point because he was to busy patying, drinking, and druging, it took a huge toll on him as well , because my dad was the closest thing to a real father that he had. It’s been 5 yrs now that he is gone and it is still as fresh in my mind as the day it happened. His health was poor, and he was is constant pain but he was a trooper and kept going till the very end when when died at the age of 56. I live in Tennessee and dont know too many tattoo artists that I would intrust to do this very speical tatoo do over my heart so that he is always with me., but I would totally trust Thomas to do it and would be honered for him to do it. I want the piece to be over my heart so that no matter what is always with me. I have my own idea of what I would like the tat to look like, but would open to any suggestions that Thomas would have. I currenlty have 4 natove american assciated tattoos now, that as stated before all have sperical meaning to me. I cant just trust thes tattoo to just any one, it has to to with a special, talented, understanding atrist, like Thomas. I love my family and I love and miss my dad very much. But I guess that is just wushful hoping and thinking on my part. but will not just trust this tatoo to just anyone, its to special to me. I truely wish Thomas coul come and do the work tatto for me, it would be and honor and pleasure to have him do it. My dad was also a vietnam vet. He was and still is a very special man! I do dearly do love and miss him very much.
