SPIKE TV ORDERS 10 EPISODES OF "TATTOO NIGHTMARES MIAMI"

Miami Expansion Builds Upon "Tattoo Nightmares" Success From SallyAnn Salsano & 495 Productions

New York, NY, May 9, 2014 - Spike TV is franchising its successful "Tattoo Nightmares" series to Miami, where three new tattoo artists are set to tackle the most difficult clients and tattoos America has to offer.

"Tattoo Nightmares Miami" brings together three new artists with diverse backgrounds. The three started this new shop to service the growing needs of extreme clients where the more bizarre the tattoo and story behind them, the better. The shop's artists are Clint Cummings, a former contestant on "Ink Master" season 2; local artist Samuel Suarez, better known to his clients as High Noon and female fine artist and tattooist, Reese Hilburn from Southern California. Together, these three artists will turn tattoo disaster pieces into masterpieces and translate difficult tattoos into stunning works of art.
