  • @Sone1ne That too.

  • The stories are so cheesy and pretentious. Just let us see the god damn tattoo..

    "ME AND MA MOOM YO, WE HAVE THE BEST RELETHANSHOOP AND LIEK I LOVE MY MOM SO IM GONNA GET THIS FLOWAH TO REPRESENT MY ENDLESS LOVE FOR HER."

    Fuck you.

  • @M4rkh0lm I'd rather see that than some douchebag scenester saying "YO MAN I WANT THIS TRIBAL CAUSE IT'LL POP MA BICEPS".

  • @ZehFiend scenesters or juice heads?

  • Actually the phoenix has roots in all kinds of mythology, including: Japanese, Greek, Egyptian, Native American, Arabian, Indian, Roman, etc.

    Beautiful work and cool story. I just got a phoenix too. Congrats!

  • Im getting a phoenix tattoo on my right arm! Awesome

  • wow he was pretty cocky at first

  • I dont have 18 hours? He could just go for 2 sessions...

  • Sick tat. I would so get that

  • Wow that was really rude. Can't believe he was like "I don't have 18 hours" I've seen him do tattoos that have more colour than a Phoenix that don't even take half that time. And it they don't have that much colour. I agree they're difficult but come on...

  • 50.000 colors? r u kiddn me wow coodve go for 1 session each week at a time til its done

  • He should've got it colored, would've looked sick.

  • i hate japanese tattoos done in black and grey..they just dont look the same..

  • @bananasack28 everyone is entitled to there own opinion's, but colour/black and grey doesnt matter. Black and grey can do what colour cant and colour does what black and grey cant. Its what your prefer.

  • @TimmyRGM yeah definitley. i just think it is kinda weird seeing traditional japanese art in black and grey lol

  • @bananasack28 meh, all my tats are black and grey thats just how i like them

  • @TimmyRGM

    Ditto, I hate coloured tattoos, they just look tacky.

  • hes an idiot if he thinks a phoenix and a dragon dont have anything to do with each other, theyre like the yin and yang the phoenix is suppose to be the dragons female counter part... you would think as popular as phoenix tattoos are "famous" artists would maybe take the imte to research a little bit you know?

  • Ami is so pro Japanese. Guess what? The Japanese were heavily influenced by the Chinese. The Phoenix symbolism has its roots in China, not Japan.

  • 1:30 and 2:25 ....YAY FOR REUSING THE CLIP!

  • how tall is ami

  • @shigzi

    About 6"2 I think

  • Oh please. Ami wasn't being rude, he's just blunt. The customer needed a reality check, you can't ask a "famous" artist for an 18 hour slot. And no one should expect him (or any other artist) to be a warm fuzzy teddy bear. He's running a tattoo parlor, not a fucking day care center.

  • what a cock end, why doesnt he have a sign outside the front of his store saying "no phoenixes"

  • ami did nothing wrong , if he dont have the time he dont have the time and that´s it . i know many great artists that don´t do tattoos every customer comes in and want . they do whatever they wanna do when they feel like it . people look at this show and thinks that a tattoo that size takes a couple of hours and then its done , well think again ! the tattoo itself maybe took 5 - 6 hours but people forget all the preparation work before and freehanding take alot of time to .

  • A missionary? Like an LDS missionary? The body is a temple bro...

  • hes so weak cant tattoo pheonixs' boo hoo

  • Comment removed

  • he was pretty rude after all tattooing is his job, but fucking amazing tattoo.

  • HERE'S AN IDEA, YOU GET YOUR OWN SHOP AND YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT IN IT!!! Ami might be a bit of a douche bag at times, but it's only b/c in this world you have to be like that sometimes! you never know, that guy mighta been givin him hell off cam or maybe summing else was going on, but one thing for sure did happen on this day, a man got a great tattoo...

  • FUCK WHAT AMI SAID !! im nearly done with my phoenix full sleeve got about another 12 hours to go already had 19 hours ! its all in colour and looks phenominal people actually come up an stop me in the street to ask about it. this dude will wish he had it in colour from a less arragont peice of shit tattooist like ami

  • @fiestavan09 i would really appreciate if u could send me a pic of ur tattoo cause i'm really interested in a phoenix one tattoo

  • @Dre4mcatcher1

    private message me you email and ill get one out to you :)

  • Imagine fillin that bigass tatto

  • as soon as he sorta turned it down i would stuck my middle finger up and gone to another shop

  • That guy seemed really nice about the whole thing thankfully

  • I think Ami is just Ami, he says exactly what he thinks. I don't think he meant to be rude, maybe he was just having a bad day.

  • nice one!

  • ami has always been a dick

  • i had the same prob as this man:(

  • Raw tat. Deep meaning, tears.

  • Raw tat.

  • Ami isnt being rude, he is being informative and honest, i dont see him giving attitude to the guy while he is saying anything about the tattoo or the time so i dont see how thats considered rude

  • How was Ami bein a dick, he was just doin his job

  • listen hes not being a dick or being rude, the guy had a business to run, remember hes running a tattoo shop plus the other bar at the time, and its not like hes doing one tattoo a day like u see on the show, he has a set schedule, hes just being honest, if u dont realized 16 hours is ALOT of time and that guy probably wanted that tattoo right then and there, hes juss being honest

  • @jmangar well its his choice that he has the shop, the bar, and so on. the point is, if you are rich or do something what others cant, you are able to have a bad character. i cant tell that he is a "dick" or something like that, but IMO rude is the right word. i dont get it why he asks about the meaning and then tells the customer that theres no meaning

  • where can i get a picture of this tattoo on a website or sumthing?

  • im getting a phoenix for my next tattoo. i'm a scorpio and the phoenix is one of the three animals for my sun sign ( the other two being the scorpion of course and the eagle). the phoenix symbolizes transformation and rebirth. perfect tattoo for where i'm at in life right now, as i'm getting through something tough that's happened to me. it's time to move on.

  • Nice

  • In fact, Phoenix is the feminine and the Dragon - Male ... It's simple. Yin and Yang. This is a standard pair of Chinese mythology. So...)

  • I reallly want this exact tattoo, what the fuck do i do :(

  • 240p we meet again

  • Like that tat but not the attitude, it's your job man so fucking get on with it. N I don't like the dots on it that much, it's like he just couldn't be bothered. Shame

  • LOLOLOL "A PHOENIX IS THE MOST DETAILED JAPANESE THING YOU CAN PU ON YOUR BODY" ..... It's a Greek mythology figure...

  • @xosrose22xxo when he said that he ment the dragons

  • @xosrose22xxo phoenixes definitely appear in japanese mythology too...

  • Esy reply: You don't have time? Fine, fuck off. Simple as that, i mean what the fuck with this dude? He wants to do dots or stripes, i mean, at least if you will spend 188 hours working on a phoenix, do it in colour, for Christ sake!

  • @DanasLilMakeup  18 hours*

  • that's most unprofessional thing I ever heard.. ow can you say to a customer...sorry thats a lot of work I have no time for that!! ??? unbeliveable...

    if you have no time time today do it some other day or in couple of sitting.. but don't be so rude and say fuck of I have no time for this work... gezzzzz

  • 00:48 skip the bullshit

  • would have been 10 times more beautiful with color

  • Ami bitches too much. If he didn't wanna do detailed shit he shoulda became a house painter.

  • great job at the end, but very negative attitude by the artist. I have no scars or tattoos, I worship my skin. but a phoenix will do for me, if I was to get a tattoo,because of my life story. I will not however pay to have an ordinary resident of where I live become famous and pay lots of money on top, and deal with his ego, there are more talented people in South Beach, 

  • I want to get this exact tattoo...

  • I don't like the dots on the tail..looks like a disease on the bird =S

  • Ami's got a bad attitude.

  • @ParasiteFromTheHills its 4,000 for a tattoo like that.

  • looks more like a rooster!!!

  • im ur fan's here in the phil.im a beginner tattoo artist how many hour's took that phoeinex done

  • wow Thats AWSOME i dun care whom says what! hes a kick ass ARTIST ^^

  • @ParasiteFromTheHills you fucking idiot your obviously stupid. tattoos needs time to heal. and for him to take a couple of hours just for the gray part means that he has to wait for a couple of days for his arm to heal. plus in 18 hours he could've done more customers instead.

  • Ami James iz da man

    Follow @primosupastar

  • beautiful tattoo, I'd prefer it in color tho

  • i wanna tattoo just like that how much do you thiknk that would be?>

  • Wow Ami is so super rude to the customers, like "I don't have 18 hours" and freakin bitching and whining about how much work a Phoenix is. WTF dude - sounds as if you don't even like tattooing. I mean what do you want to do, tattoo triangles and squares on people that take 30 minutes a pop? What a douche bag.

  • @TheTammyTube If you watch his other videos. He admits to hating tattooing.

  • @TheTammyTube Agreed. I get that you have to tell them what you honestly think/be realistic and informative..but he could have been abit nicer about it -___-

  • @TheTammyTube do you have any idea how much time and detail goes into an elaborate piece of art like that? Atleast 7 sittings. Aside from that, the customer isnt even local, is he supposed to fly back to Miami every 3 weeks? Also, the customer clearly doesnt know dick about traditional japanese tattoos, he came off as a dick but Ami basically told him he could do one but its gonna look like fucking flash art. and call me crazy but i dont want my ink to look like a 5 year olds finger painting.

  • @TheTammyTube Mmm for me i see him for just being honest.

  • @2011053406 but if hes getting paid why is he complaining

  • How much would that tattoo and a colored one cost? Around abouts?

  • @guitarg0d7007 depend from the artist, could go anywhere from 400-1500

  • why do they think every asian mythical creature is japanese? A phoenix is a creature from the taoist religion, which is could be practiced by chinese or indians koreans etc. origins of the dragon and phoenix is china, why is everything japanese?

  • @Vintagefrida maybe it's the tattooing style or artwork that's japanese, not necessarily the creature itself. I'm only guessing, but they talk about japanese, native, polynesian, tribal etc as different styles. I've seen tribal versions of phoenix...

  • He's getting a huge tattoo, for Jesus. Grand.

  • Ami James,he's a great tattoo master & I'd like him to do amazing tattoo for me,it'll be great!!!

  • looks like a hen

  • ah man that dude is so sweet. he seems like a really cool, strong man. wish only he best for him <3

  • thats fucken wicked tattoo...

  • are you only allowed to get tattoos done at miami ink if you have a big sob story to tell?

  • @benjrx8 Naw, that's just what the but on t.v. 

  • @benjrx8 I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

    I'm going in for my first tattoo at the end of June and I have no story to it, it's just pretty.

    I'm worried I need to make up a big story about how my mom is sick of some shit..

  • @benjrx8

    They should just go the whole hog and rename it Miami's Biggest Sob Story.

  • @benjrx8 probably :(

  • Man I wanna be able to draw like that!!! Jizz ftw

  • Love the tattoo.

    

  • Very nice tatt :)

  • toots and the maytals!!!

  • i see kids (asians kids, cuz im asian) these days, putting on everything that has scales on it and i'd really really want to walk up to them and tell them, that that picture will get you nowhere! i feel sorry for them, they think it's cool and chicks will digg it, but they dont realize the girls that digg those things are the lowest class of all. Girls are flowers, Boys are Bees, but flowers only bloom once, after that they will fade! Please, dont tatt thinking it's cool and gangster!

  • @Yourmotwashum this flower would love not only to sting you bastard bee but close my pentals around you and digest you ! what a pig! 0-0

  • @Yourmotwashum well said

  • This makes me want to draw a phoenix SOOO bad..>< Thanks Ami

  • i love this show its so laid back!!!! way better than la ink

  • Go look at my phoenix tattoo

  • im shocked that a PASTOR is getting a tat. all the ones that i have seen has told me that there wrong lmao.

  • @mikeyray68 exactly most don't even believe in piercings

  • any one else think ami is a dick ?

  • @maskproduced no.

  • @maskproduced hell yeah. and on some videos if you watch how he looks at people when they come in to see another artists .. he's just a douche. but his work is good tho

  • @maskproduced agreed

  • @maskproduced ehh i dont know i like ami

  • ami mustn take everything soo sirius, i knew what he ment wit dragon like

    (sorry for my bad englisch)

  • SWEAR i forgot there was a "miami ink".......??

  • amis a bicth every episode hes got a god damn monkey up his ass and sand in his vagina

  • @angleofanarchy hahaha, genuinely love the creativity in your word choice ;)

  • whats with the initial douchebag attitude 'oh i dont have 18 hrs to do this, dragons a dragon, blah blah ... i would jus say thanks, bye. fuck that

  • that tattoo was crazy i really liked it.. it would of looked alot better if it was in color in my opinion

  • Amis an average tattoo artist and your paying for his name. His pieces start at $1000, don't believe me email love hate tattoo. I'm sorry but that phoneix wouldve been better done by garver or Tim. There are so much better artists out there, just do your homework. Brass nunez James - there very average. I could list so many better. That shop is there because of Garver, he's great but not $500 an hour great- no one is!

  • i rather get a tat outside of Florida

  • WILL PAY £10,000 TO ANYONE WHO WILL TATTOO A BRA OVER MY CHEST(I'm a man)!!!

  • That Phoenix tattoo was so cool and beautiful, I want one like that :D One day I will make my own Phoenix on my arm/shoulder :)

  • wow this guy has a lawsuit on his hands

  • I know fuck those pussies who thinks he's dick, if anything he's not that he respects each customer knows the value of running a good business and jokes around a bit not like Kate who's a ego maniac specialist portrait artist

  • that's an amazing tattoo

  • dude this phoenix was more detailed then in london ink

  • @445566lol8 I know ami's japanese art is alot better

  • i have got 9 1/2 hours on my phoenix on my back, its across my shoulders and it still needs color and shading. its alot of detail and work.

  • god hes a dickhead

  • at london ink, the artist had the phoenix done only for 4 hours and its huge man.

  • needs color

  • dude hes a pastor lol

  • i don't think he has a bad attitude hes just more straight to point and no time for bullshit

  • Yeah but he has the best attitude for getting pussy.

  • espectacular

  • He has the WORST attitude for a tattoo artist.

  • ami is so fucking hot.

  • i LOVE these guys! I wish they would still do the show, beats all the Miami Ink wanna-be shows. I love the Phoenix and this one is amazing!

    Great job Ami, boy!

  • "I don't got time for a phoenix".

    Then how about fuck you Ami and I'll go give money to another artist elsewhere.

    18 hours of tattooing!? He'd make a shit load of money for that. What an IDIOT.

  • @phoenix8990 apparently alot of you have never gotten a tattoo. These people, if' they're good are booked solid for weeks i know mine is. So of course someone that's in the spot light such as ami would be booked solid and maybe he'd have a spot or two open here or there but if he doesn't have the time he DOESN"T HAVE THE TIME. It's not a matter of money, most guys like this charge by the hour anyways so as long as his day is booked to the brim it wont change how much he makes.

  • What's up with ami's attitude?

    Customer: "Hi, i want a phoenix tattoo"

    Ami: "I don't got time for a phoenix tattoo"

    WTF?

  • WHT the fuck mean "idont got time "

    isn't he suppose to do whtever the client

    wants or wht ?!?!?!

  • @EZZZAT that does not go for tattooing if a artist does not like u he can deny his severs

  • "ami" admitted he can't tattoo very well. I would not recommend going to him.

  • Going to U.S.A he's gonna be the FIRST Adress...I LOVE and ADORE AMI!! Just take a look at the way he works....so GREAT...I'm still going for the HAMSA TATOO he does once(also called THE EYE OF FATIMA)..loved it..and I want this one for bad!!! KIsses

  • Tattoo's would be better if you could wash it of when you get board with it after a week or two, I know do them with a Biro.

    Job done.

  • I think it would have been better with colour!

  • what is song name?

  • Funky Kingston

  • dude, this guy's got vamp teeth!

  • @cinnamonmuffins0718 he really does ; iWas notice it all the time

  • @cinnamonmuffins0718 he's got fake teeth i think :/ heavy story from him you know.. holy shit

  • it's obvious Ami loves jap themes.

    he's hot.

  • chris garver n1

  • that's what a tattoo is

  • @vpb645m because to some people it is an art-form... an expression of self :D

  • loser!

  • looks like a chicken

  • holy crap how much did that cost?

  • if you have to ask, you cant afford it. there's an old saying: a good tattoo isn't cheap, and a cheap tattoo isn't good. that's true with ami

  • i just want to khow much it cost thanks. Plus cheap tattoists don't sterlise so you could get aids or something

  • that's why you go to a clean professional tattoo shop... i'm thinking it would have costed at least a thousand

  • @InsaneChef Any good tattooist uses disposable tattoo needles. I know mine does, and that's one of the reasons that my first tattoo costed 150, and the second which is 6 times bigger costed only 350. The effort and cost of setting everything up is taken into account I think

  • thats wrong. i bet the tattoo at 0:13 was the cheapest and its the best :P.

  • @kraziasian I would not mind spending a good amount of money on something that is going to be with me forever, that's money well spent :))

  • dam ...second chance at life

  • this tattoo is a masterpiece

  • chris garver is his master

  • omg ami is seriusly so fucking cool i really really wanna have a tattoo made by him

  • That's what you've been uploading last night xD
