They need to replace her with Margaret Cho -- or somebody who actually knows something about tattoos and isn't super-annoying.

Best Ink blew dead rats compared to Ink Masters.. which wasn't that great. EVERY "reality" show has a host that is the bossy little girl. If you ever had the misfortune to play house with a girl from down the street (when you were a little kid...) you know what I mean. The little brassy bitch that sends anyone home that pisses her off. That's Dave "oooo, I got $50, let me get another tattoo" Navarro to a T.

50 minutes of soap opera and commercials.
10 minutes of entertaining and interesting tattoo results.
Still means we're probably gonna watch, and then bitch about the other 50 minutes.

God, we're desperate!

Still beats L.A. Ink, aka Drinkin' & Inkin... where the tattooing content is about 45 seconds.

Has anyone else in here heard of that new upcoming series "Tattoo Rescue"? It appears that the people behind Ink Master have decided to create another bogus Tattoo reality show..this time on renovating tattoo shops.

I was afraid that was coming...could have some seriously negative repercussions.

Yeah on TV you can turn around a restaurant, hotel or hair salon in three days, but I always find it funny that we are all supposed to believe that people who were cooking shit food or had bad to no cleaning habits and sanitation skills are somehow going to be reformed by a stern talking to and a quick cosmetic make over of the work area. I think the same thing will apply here, someone who is doing shit tattoos isn't going to be able to get better overnight, I am sure there are some business strategies one could apply, but at the end the day the product coming out of the shop won't be much different.

and if you check on-line, most of those resturants don't make it another 6 months or so . . .

Shit, I wouldn't turn down new signage, lighting, etc in return for getting yelled at by some d bag for a few days, and besides "bidness be good, yo" lol
