  • Inspirational!!!

  • awesome : D

    

  • true meaning man love tats that have more behind it

    almost makes me wonder If I should get one too

    anybody else has that feeling from watching these episodes?

  • He deserves such a good tattoo, my heart goes out to him.

  • a beautiful tattoo for a very touching heart-ache. I loved the way he said the fish looks at him and gives him strength. The artist is amazing, and the colors are so fresh and uplifting....

  • omg so sad :(

  • I this guy doesnt already have Jesus, i really pray he finds the truth :)

  • omg who gives a shit

    soap opera bullshit

  • @Willtasticful get the fuck outta here your heartless asshole!!!

  • damnn, ive never cried over tv before.. mad love for you man! stay strong an godbless!

  • I like how in the end when Ami was done with the tattoo and James was thanking him Ami did this sincere smile

  • man sometimes i hate that everybody is like "yea man japanese art is so cool, geisha ninja samurai kanji coi fish katana --yea!" but this one actually looks good. pretty sick. and...thats the saddest story... what everybody is saying about him getting over it is true. pretty amazing that he is able to move on. btw, what's up with fabio at 3:40 that made me lol in the midst of tragedy.

  • still crying!

  • Mad respect for him

    Great tattoo

  • Man Sooo Much Pain :(

  • boo hoo mate, if you want a tattoo get one, if you want a psychiatrist go to one. There not the same thing.

  • @remixnick dude are you stupid?.....hes telling the story or the reason why he is getting that tattoo!.....and one more thing....give the man some respect......

  • @jangel214 No, you are stupid if you think this is how people get tattoo's, only on miami ink do people have outrageous back stories that they tell the artist. I wonder of the producers of miami ink thought "awww yea put this one in the show, everyone at home will be in tears, yea.. add some sad music too". I don't know the guy so no respect in his direction coming from me.

  • @remixnick dude...its a show.....you stupid enough?...ok,...no music...no story....the show will too boooring to watch.....

  • @jangel214 "you stupid enough" sort your grammar, the only stupid one here is you. So you think if they cut out the stories and the cheesy music you wouldn't want to watch because it would be too boring? Obviously the tattoo element of miami ink doesn't matter that much to you. Clearly you know nothing.

  • @remixnick dude...hes getting that tattoo for a reason...thats the story behind the tattoo....your the one who knows nothing...

  • @jangel214 Just a coincidence this guy chose love hate tattoo to do his piece and he had a massive emotional story that he didn't mind divulging? If you got to a real tattoo shop (not 'miami ink') you'd see how things really are. I'm sure he could have made his 'reason' less elaborate but no...this is miami ink.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwww

  • Good man.......

    Respect.....

  • I all most cried thats soooooo sad :(

  • its beautiful, beautiful tattoo, beautiful story.

  • At the start of the vid, i was like...why are there comments about crying....

    I Cried.

  • a tattooist is a psychologist an artist a visionary not some person who looks like a biker tattooing people

  • So sad, beautiful remembrance tattoo. His wife and child live on. I believe there is no end. We are all part of this earth, we are all one. But that's just my opinion. <3

  • I had this crazy dream that I'd gotten a full sleeve done... I wish I'd done some sketches before I forgot what it looked like >.<

  • made a grown man cry ;-(

  • that's why i like tattoos.. :)

  • i just want to give him a hug! xxx

  • love you dude

  • I have gained SO much respect for the art of tattooing from watching these episodes. It's more than just a fashion statement. It has depth and true meaning. The artists and their craft is just spell-bounding!

  • respeckt !

  • I don't know when this was filmed, but I would love to get and update on James and how he is these days. This above anything else I've seen on MI was very touching.

  • i might be wrong but isnt that closer to a 3/4 sleve then a 1/2 sleve like they said in the begining

  • oh my god :'(

  • i love his tat i was thinking about getting it but i dont want to have his tat because its for his wife and child only . i chocked up a bit

  • I am very sorry for you. My grandmother had pancreatic cancer and passed away 11 months ago. Nice tattoo as well.

  • this is so sad, i can't watch this.

    i hope that james will overcome toughest time of his life.

    i am so sorry what he had to go through.

  • My neighbor died from pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. He was only early 40's. It's a horrid disease, and it took him in less than 2yrs. I can imagine losing your life in one felt swoop. I lost my daughter also but that was very sudden. So I can understand losing you're whole family

  • omg wow :( thats so sad! the tattoo has so many meanings; which i think all tattoos should be represented. not something so stupid ,. (respects)

  • Poor dude! Well he has thousands of peoples respect and condolences now, hope he can get on with his life and start over. I know I probably couldn't..

  • On occasion, I stop by just to see the comments which are always amazing to me (although I stop the video because it's just too much to watch most of the time) Thanks for keeping the memory alive! I am well and continuing on. That's what Katie would have wanted and the least I can do for her!

  • @noletubby77 james, there have been so many times i wanted you to read the comments, but i didn't know if you were ready. i'm so glad you read them. can't wait to see you thanksgiving. luv, t

  • damn my brother, i feel you soo much. i have a girlfriend that i love & if something ever hapend to her i wouldnt know what to do.

  • @luigymack60809 that is so sweet<3333

  • Thats one meaninful tattoo man.. Respect... The 4 pathetic people who disliked this video deserve to be shot.

  • LOL this guys full of shit, his not crying about his past, his crying cause the tattoo hurts HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @tag1989 dude, be carefull with saying shit like that. cus someday somebody is gonna fuck you up. i wish i could have the honor by the way.

    just warning you, nobody wants to hear that type of crap.

  • @MAmoviesRS lol your funny

  • Awh man... =( (Love the tattoo)

  • keep stayin strong brother

  • sad

    

  • After watching this, no one will doubt that a tattoo can help you stick to your attitude towards life.

  • srry bout ur loss,R.I.P

  • RIP

  • poor guy, hope he makes it

  • I love the story and the meanings of pp tattoos.So much power in art that can move anyone.

  • Saddest story ever R.I.P mother and child. 

  • that was a bloody sad story. Im quite shocked at how powerful it was. And I'm a stuck up, insecure, self loathing Brit who laughs openly in my living room at the sob tales on x factor, and actually takes meticulous enjoyment at every quiver of restrained pre cry twitch which appears on their hopeful faces when Simon Cowell pisses on their dreams with each deliciously brutal and irascible comment.

    perhaps Im becoming too much of a pussy. Maybe I should move to the USA so I can feel at home.

  • @ajarman123 Oh.... I was about to write something very similar. I have a feeling this is a bit different to the probably fake "me gran's got lukemia" story spouted by some scouser though.

  • Why does the colour of his gloves change ever time the camera shot changes?

  • fantastic tattoo

  • fuckin sick free hand , sad storie,

  • that was really powerful. I'm a guy and i teared. That is such a great way to overcome suffering and grief. Get a tattoo that reminds you of what you loved.

  • fucking hell, its like watching x factor, you only get shown on tv when you have some sob story. its a tattoo show not agony aunt tv.

  • I lolve hearing the stories behind the tattoos. WOW

  • Life is not fucking fair......

  • alot of people have tatoos for the dumbest reasons but this was inspiring coy fish rocks

  • Shit hes a strong man

  • Wow...sad story

  • :'(

  • i feel so shit, when he said lotus flowers and butterflies, i was like thats really gay. thats so harsh.

  • Every time I want to pity myself for relatively trivial things, I'll make sure to remember this. Sad story, incredible guy.

  • its wierd his gloves keep switching from black too purple haha while the story is still going

  • how much it cost

  • Damn same here man. I watched this video after Lloyd Bank's tattoo, and I was like: "Hmm who's this guy now." But oh man I feel so so sorry for this guy. I seriously got tears in my eyes watching this.

  • lol while hes tattooing he keeps changing gloves black,purple,black, purple lol

  • Im kinda tearing up :[

  • I just love Ami he is so cute and H.O.T !!<3

    Marry me baby !!<33

  • oh my god! i feel so sorry for him! hope he will overcome it one day- time is a great healer- or so i am told...

  • Ugh. What a really sad story. But its also good, because now he will always have a little piece of them forever and always. For every struggle that we face, there is always something at the end that we have to help us through

  • at 4:13 if u stop it on time theres ayy lil baby face near the fornt of hes arm but on the side at the same timee

  • There isn't season 6?

  • awesome tattoo. does anyone know what pens he uses to draw it on?

  • @chedwik

    Sharpies 

  • that is incredibly sad

  • omg it makes me cry

  • Have the Japanese guy finished his learning?

  • I cried too...this was so powerful. I can't even imagine the strength it must take to overcome something like that- I admire him so much.

  • @ashayavar i wanna like ur comment but it has 69 likes, cant stop a 69

  • Wow keep strong mate, beautiful tattoo.

  • that is effin sad yo... this is a strong dude...

  • cool guy, he deserved that awesome tattoo :)

  • I agree he seems cool , but when do you earn a good tattoo ? When something tragic happens to you? If you have money you go to a proffesional and get a good tattoo ,.. which is what he did lol . i see what your sayin though... but Ami dosent give bad tattoo's from what ive seen.

  • AMAZING TATTOO!!!!!!

  • WOW that tat is amazing. he deserves one so amazing and detailed as that. It has a subtle beauty to it that cant be replicated.

  • poor dude....thats so sad

  • Poor guy... that is so sad...

  • well good looking tattooist

  • that was deff done in 2 or more sessions. most likely 2.

    and dourdandepp. say alll the bs you want on the internet cause noone can prove u wrong.

  • geezus christt.

  • thats so sad.

  • musta been uncomfortable doing the tat and having him tell the sob story at the same time...

  • i wont lie, i cried.

  • Me too. So sad.

  • Q: Is it true that Ami & the guys are only there when the camera's are?

    Will they be there when the filming of the show ends?

  • no,, they are always there,, to appear on the show u have to apply by filling a form

  • Thanks for your reply, I thought they were always there.Then I was reading on facebook ,this Woman from Sweden said: It´s so sad that when you come there as a tourist all the way from Sweden, they don´t seem to work there.............. They only work when the camera is on...... But that´s fine for me because I don´t have the mony to go to Miami.....lol.

    Can I ask,how do you know that they are always there? Did you get a tattoo done by them

  • i live in miami and yes i have two tattoos done by them... it taks time,, the first one was in the foot took me 1h30 min and cost me like 300,,, and the other one is a chest to arm polynesian piece took 2 sessions to get it done and 1200,,, both were done by ami james

  • @Dourdandepp i have been to the shop a couple of times and they have never been there. so there might be some kind of truth to that .

  • omg my eyes cant stop watering.

  • Sad :(

    oh and Ami totally ruined that dude's shirt. It's covered in ink!

  • sorry dude :S:S:S

  • thats so sad, i'm almost crying! :'(
