Synopsis

A contest to find a great tattoo artist. The judges - Jay Hardy and Rose Hutton - were familiar from E4's Tattoo Fixers programme, also made by Studio Lambert.

The contest followed the usual reality show rules: lots of people enter, they're given tests of skill and judgement, one leaves each week. The judges explained in advance what they were looking for.

Caution: tattooist at work.

Tattoo Artist had a clear visual aesthetic: a pinch of gothic, a dab of steampunk. It looked part of the counter-culture, and it was beautifully shot. But the competition format was nothing novel, and we felt the edit and narration told us what to think.

Title music
