Tattoo Highway - More Than Just Body Art
Last week the premiere of Tattoo Highway on A&E did more than just ink another person. 15-year tattoo veteran Thomas Pendelton, previously the star of Inked, has taken his art on the road for the new series setting up shop in a 1970s tour bus. After last week’s show, though, it proved to be even more worthwhile.
Heather was inked last week on the show with a with a symbolic tattoo of her son, a little boy she had put up for adoption ten years ago. She had been only 16 years old, and after the father of the boy took off on her, she made the tough decision and put her child up for adoption, but obviously hasn’t forgotten him.
The young boy’s adoptive parents apparently don’t want him to forget her either. Heather got a message through her MySpace the day after the show aired from her son’s adoptive mother, who told her the boy is very aware of where he came from, and he and his adoptive mom had been watching the premiere of Tattoo Highway together. He started to cry, watching the show, realizing how much his biological mom still loves him. Plans are underway for a meeting between them.
Look for details on that meeting here, and in the meantime, check out tonight’s episode of Tattoo Highway on A&E at 10:00 PM ET/9:00 PM CT. You never know who you might see. Tattoo Highway is produced by Juma Entertainment with Robert Horowitz as the Executive Producer.
What’s Hot On TV Tonight - I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here
Sure, it’s silly. But I can’t help but watch this. Part of the fun is gone, though, with Heidi and Spencer Pratt leaving, but I think the rest of us will continue to give us just as much fun. We also have the first night Las Vegas callbacks on So You Think You Can Dance.
1. Regis and Kelly. It has to be a great show today with Will Ferrell as guest cohost. The guests will be MC Hammer and wildlife expert Peter Gros. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. Gone Baby Gone. Ben Affleck directed, with little brother Casey and Michele Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, and Ed Harris starring. The younger Affleck and Monaghan star as private eyes who investigate the disappearance of a little girl, and all leads point to it being connected somehow to the girl’s mother. 12:40 PM CT Starz In Black
3. Earth Girls Are Easy. Perhaps the most appealing part of this film is seeing Jim Carrey before we knew him as Jim Carrey. He plays a guy that crashed into Geena Davis’ pool in a space ship along with Damon Wyans and Jeff Goldblum, who is more or less the leader of the group. 1:15 PM CT Showtime East
4. Ghostbusters. I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna call Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis. 2:00 PM CT AMC
5. I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here. I just don’t know if it will be the same without Speidi. Find out why. 7:00 PM CT NBC
