‘Just Tattoo of Us’ Is the Best Worst Show on TV — Just Look at This Guy’s Horrible New Ink (Video)
MTV announced earlier this this year that it plans to adapt the British TV experiment in schadenfreude “Just Tattoo of Us” this fall, but if Monday’s episode is any indication of what’s to come, the U.S. might not be ready.
The basic premise of the show is that two individuals — friends, couples, siblings, etc. — choose and design tattoos for one another, with the recipient only viewing the finished product. While that may seem innocent enough, reality TV’s inherent thirst for drama pushes that premise to wild extremes, with each couple attempting to one-up the last with ever more shocking and grotesque designs. People apparently have no qualms about permanently inking terrible images on their loved ones for a good laugh.
