My friend and bad ass tattoo artist Friday Jones is in a new tattoo reality show on the Oxygen Network called Tattoos After Dark. I know what you are thinking, the last the thing the world needs is another tattoo reality show and why on earth is the Oxygen Network even doing tattoo shows… BUT I went to the watch party for the first two episodes and I gotta say the show is pretty hilarious. The show is about two shops in LA that stay open and attract really drunk crazy people who want really horrible tattoos. (Their ideas are horrible, the tattoos are excellent.) There are several tattoo shows about cover ups and the people getting them tell stories about how the ended up with these really bad tattoos, well Tattoos After Dark documents those mistake stories in real time!

Friday threw her party at the Dr. Who themed bar Way Station in Brooklyn. She had one of her favorite bands Geena & Dragster perform followed by comedian Mara Marek. Geena & Dragster were pretty rock and roll and Mara mostly did crowd work making fun of tattoos and couples in the audience. After that we watched the two episodes live and then Friday and fellow Tattoos After Dark star Joe “Jersey” Meinweiser did a Q&A. Jersey also showed everyone his dick tattoo but I decided not to post the picture out of respect for everyone.

I didn’t take a ton of photos because most of the party involved everyone watching TV and I was suffering from extraordinary tooth pain which ended in having to get a root canal yesterday, but it’s probably for the best since Friday got in a fight with some insane drunk girl on New Years Eve and got a black eye from the crazy bitch’s purse! Although in retrospect I should have taken more photos of Geena’s daughter who was a babe and was dressed like a sexy Beetlejuice. I probably shouldn’t be writing this post on this many pain killers.

Anyway, look at these pictures and then check out Tattoos After Dark on Oxygen on Wednesdays at 11pm!
