What Parents Need to Know
About Miami Ink
Parents need to know that this show is pro-body art and doesn't spend a lot of time talking about the risks of getting a tattoo. Also, a lot of the parlor's clients get tattoos to memorialize deceased loved ones. Some of their stories are bittersweet, and younger viewers might find them upsetting. In one episode, for example, a couple talks about their baby who died two hours after birth.

good show, appropriate for most teens
Miami Ink doesn't contain a lot of inappropriate content, and is a fun show to watch for people of about 13 and over.

Enough of the body graffiti already, it's disgusting

Entertaining
Miami Ink is a very entertaining show for me. I would reccommend children 12 and up to watch this program. Although on one of the episodes one of the men decided to pee &/or poop in the toilet and did not flush, teaching kids bad ettiquette.

Suprisingly good show
I became hooked to this show quickly. Subject matter can include death pretty often and some sexual inuendo as well, so not good for younger kids, but a lot of the issues that come up on the show would be good discussion materials for older kids and teens.
