News about Ami James

In the early Noughties, he came to prominence during the paparazzi era. However, tattoo artist Ami James, the actor of Miami Ink, NY Ink, Ink Master, and most recently The Tattoo Shop, has admitted that he dislikes Hollywood and has refused to tattoo celebrities. Despite being a celebrity, the 50-year-old dislikes working with well-known customers and often passes them onto other artists when they stop by his parlours in New York, Miami, London, and Cork, Ireland. When being inked, he told Daily Mail Australia that his dissatisfaction stemmed from poor experiences with self-indulgent actors who like to complain about life in the spotlight. 'I have no desire to sit down and talk to some Hollywood t**t about how hard his life is,' he said.

Thousands of skeptup enthusiasts from around the world have attended the 12th annual Australian Tattoo Expo, including a brave crowd who announced their worst creations. The three-day festival is being held at the International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour, with performances running from Friday to Sunday. The audience was treated to the Ugliest Tattoo Exhibition on Saturday, where attendees took to the stage to display their worst ink.

Ami James first rose to fame in 2005 when he appeared on TLC's Miami Ink in one of the first reality television shows. The tattoo artist, who is Jewish and served in the Israeli military, starred alongside Kat Von D, who became a well-known beauty blogger in the years following and founded her own very profitable self-named cosmetics business, which has since been sold. However, Kat, who has nine million followers on Instagram, has been at the center of several scandals since and three years after Miami Ink announced that she had been suspended from the tattoo parlour.
