About this project

Think Real World/Paradise Hotel meets Miami Ink. A unique reality show that features the most sought after tattoo artists in the U.S. and their international clients, converging on one of the hottest cities in the world. Shot and edited in a down-and-dirty documentary style, this is not the average tattoo show!

Synopsis: At Tattoo Manor, our clients are not your typical fly by night tattoo shop customers and these are not your typical run of the mill tattoo artists.

The Cast: The artists we have hand selected usually have a waiting list of up to 500 people or up to two years. Not only do you have to wait in line, they also have to be interested in your tattoo concept. Each artist specializes in a different style of art. Majority of these artists are naturally talented individuals and have degrees from some of the top universities in the nation. Along with being educated, many of these artists are accredited fine artists and gallery curators as well. Although these artists “create” for a living, every last one of them would do it with no monetary compensation for the love of expression.
This alone is what separates a “tattoo artist” from a” tattooer”.

The Clients: These high profile wealthy individuals travel the world to be tattooed by the World’s finest artists. These clients spend a lot of money and wait a long time to be lucky enough to have one of these pieces of art. These types of clients are known as “collectors” in the tattoo industry.
Each episode we will profile the artists as well as the clients. These "collectors" feel more open and comfortable in a private atmosphere rather than a typical walk in tattoo studio. The audience would be taking an inside look at what inspired these individuals to be tattooed, how they chose their artist, and what the tattoo means to them. We will also discuss pricing of the tattoos so that the audience can get a true perspective on what these masterpieces typically cost.
Some other aspects we will be covering in the show are the enormous amounts of work that go into not only creating tattoos but creating fine art as well. The artists will curate art shows and reach out to hundreds of artists around the globe to be a part of these events. We will show behind the scenes planning of what it takes to produce a tattoo convention in two different states simultaneously along with showing coverage of these conventions during the actual events.

We plan to add a touch of comedy to the series as well.
These artists are known for playing some pretty wild pranks on each other.

Like most individuals in their 20’s –30’s, this crew loves to let loose and party like rock stars.
Pool parties, South Beach clubs and fast cars, tattoo groupies, gambling and anything else you could possibly imagine.

This video we did with a $4,000 budget.
Imagine what we could do with a $50,000 budget.

Our goal is to shoot a full episode. It will be a lot easier to sell our concept to a network when we can show the full cast living and creating in Tattoo Manor.
Miami Ink was the most successful reality show of its kind. Allthough it was watched around the world by millions of viewers, it was missing one important factor.
It did not gain the respect of the " tattoo industry ."
We have gathered 10 of the most well respected artists in the industry today.
With that  X-Factor, we have the a sure fire recipe for success.
