Abhorrent and disrespectful to consider any shmuck off the street a tattoo artist after 2 weeks. Burn it down,

That's like saying art school can be a 2 week course.

This is crazy. I will definitely support this petition. My husband is a professional tattooist and he has spent 20 years learning his profession and to think that someone considers two weeks a long enough training time to be a professional tattooist is outrageous.

Crazy to think it's ok to have someone tattooing people after just a few weeks of training! I'm not a tattoo artist but I am a collector of many works of art on my body and it's against the tattoo code to not apprentice under a already artist for atleast a year! U can learn basics I'm sure in couple weeks but at the end of the day it takes years to master a craft like tattooing and quit frank it is a shame TLC thinks it's ok to do what they are doing to get tv ratings and to make money!

They need to shut it down...iv been doing this for 24 years...it took me 6 years to stop sweating in my gloves...procedures are first and for most... And that takes up the three months...to learn properly... If you don't have this knowledge you endanger everyone....

For profit tattoo schools in two weeks no bueno..

With this type of show you will have more scratchers not to mention infections. There is no way to learn everything you need to know in just two weeks it takes years. If someone is eager to learn then they should apprentice. Thank you

So called ''tattoo schools'' are enough of an insult already. Tattoo reality shows have done enough damage to the industry so far, this is unacceptable.

This is an insult to real tattoo artists who have paid their dues and have become masters of their craft with their own blood, sweat, and tears. BAD IDEA
