ShawnPorter Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thoughts on e2: Ton Jones isn't "heavily tattooed". He's just heavy. My fiancee's 81yo Jewish Bubbe used to have the same sunglasses that Chriss Angel... errr.. Navarro is wearing on the car challenge. Peck calling James "hillbilly" was funny. Al Fliction's glasses are stupid. As stupid as Al Fliction. I want to see Peck and Nunez tattoo a pig in a 32* meat locker, pinstripe a car and braid Navarro's hair to match Al's goatee. I want to eat crawdaddies with James at a hoedown. I can't believe the producers didn't have a backup for psoriasis guy other than two tons of fun. I feel bad for having watched another episode.

Duffa Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I feel bad for having watched another episode. This. Although, Oliver putting that blonde chick in her place was truly great to watch.

Paul Shachtman Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Um, er, regarding proportionate hydro-propulsion, do you think Nunez is touchy about carp composition because HE did this a few months ago?: Log In | Facebook I'm just glad they didn't get Tim Lehi, Mike Rubendall, Mike Roper, Jason Brooks, Filip Leu, Chris Trevino, and Brian Bruno to compete, with Horiyoshi III judging.

Paul Shachtman Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Anyone care to take a stab at how much Peck pulls in per episode? He's the only legitimate aspect of the show. Helluva tattooer. I've only heard good things about him. Nice guy when I met him, briefly. I bet the omnipresent toothpick sits under his tongue, its end barbed like a chastity belt. How else can he keep from crying with laughter? gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else can he keep from crying with laughter? I looked it up on IMDB and there are eight episodes a season so my guess is about $5000 an episode plus expenses and residuals for all reruns. Nunez gets $7500, and Navarro gets $20000. I have no idea for sure, but I do know what the guys on Miami Ink got the first season so I am basing my guess on that. I have not seen the show so I don't know what kind of money they are spending on production, but my guess is very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only frame of reference on this topic Thomas Morgan told me he pulled $20,000 an episode for that Tattoo Highway show he did, but I believe it was on History Channel. I don't know if it's totally true, but he sunk a lot of money into a huge shop in Portland right after that show was done. $5,000 is nothing turn you nose up at, but doesn't seem like enough for the amount of buzz around this show.

Maybe it is way more. I do not have cable, and I haven't seen one thing about the show other than on this forum so I didn't realize that it was being promoted that hard. I did watch a couple of episodes of Tattoo Highway, and I would not have guessed that he made that much an episode. If Olivier is making twenty and episode then Navarro has to be making $100,000.

My understanding about the reality is they keep the cost low. I doubt these guys are breaking the bank. Especially in the first season. Good for anyone who figures a way to make money. I used to think those Jersey Shore people were MORONS... Those MORONS are laughing all the way to the bank!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Shachtman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Seriously, Nunez gets more than Peck, just because he was on "Miami Ink?" I guess I shouldn't be surprised. If I got jaded enough with tattooing, and my back and eyes hurt, I'd probably do the same thing as Peck. There will always be zombies. Might as well capitalize. From what I know, Peck's contributed enough to tattooing to justify such reward. Tattooers don't get paid enough, especially really good ones.

Paul Shachtman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Speaking of reality, anyone see Brooks' interview of Lehi in TAM? Nice to read a streamlined interview. Just the facts, ma'am.

Paul Shachtman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The photos are what matter. I would argue that Tim's and Jason's priorities ("art" over ego) might have something to do with what they produce. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

ShawnPorter Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Incidentally- with wordpress, I can track how people get to Occult Vibrations; since Ink Master premiered on the 17th, "Oliver Peck" has moved to the third most searched term that leads people to OV. (first is Occult Vibrations, second is Thomas Hooper) More people come to OV by searching Peck's name in 12 days than in all of 2011. gougetheeyes, Jennifer Stell, Gregor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
