They say after you get one, you’re addicted. And although I’m too much of a wimp to know firsthand, the world of tattoo art is coming to TLC.

The station’s new show, “Miami Ink,” will be similar to its already popular “American Chopper” series that shows the ins and outs of crafting high-end custom-made motorcycles. No one gets kicked off, and there’s no prize at the end. The show’s creators claim it’s a real-life look into the “colorful, painful, intriguing world of tattoo artistry.”

Although I’m not sure we need a reality show to allow us to observe every aspect of life, this one looks as if it might catch your eye if you’re flipping channels and happen to catch a few minutes.

The show, which airs at 10 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, goes beyond four-leaf clover and flower tattoos, displaying the art of the industry when four friends get together and open a custom tattoo parlor to showcase their artwork.

Viewers will get to see a variety of clients ranging from your everyday 18-year-olds looking to test the limits of their age to businessmen and housewives looking to decorate their bodies. A few well-known personalities are expected to stop by, too.

If you’re looking for something a little more intellectual, a new show coming out has a Maine connection.

Executive producer David E. Kelley, the Waterville native known best for “The Practice” and “Ally McBeal,” has brought together 12 real-life trial lawyers to compete for $250,000 trying real cases.

Not only are the cases real, but the show’s preview information claims their outcomes will be decided by judges and juries and will be legally binding.

While details of which Maine court case might be used for the show haven’t yet been made available, this crime drama fanatic is hoping they’ll surface before the show premieres at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 28, on NBC.
