 FOLLOW UP  The Look: How Far 
is Tattoo Far/Just Tattoo of Us

It seems tattoos and television just go together: Black Ink Crew on VH1 and Ink Master on the Paramount Network come to mind when it comes to the artform of ink being brought to your screen. But for the past few years, those shows have had a stablemate in the Viacom/CBS fold thanks to the global franchise known in the international realm as Just Tattoo of Us.

The show premiered on MTV UK and the non-American channels of its international fleet back in 2017, with its first series being hosted by Geordie Shore original Charlotte Crosby & 2-time Ex On The Beach UK alum Stephen Bear, who has made quite a mark on our side of the Atlantic when he crossed into our shores last year. And a year later, Just Tattoo of Us made its way to the U.S. as join EOTB in having an Americanized version of it airing here, retitled How Far is Tattoo Far?.

Regardless of what it's called, the show's concept is simple: pairs of friends, family members and couple will come into the parlor, design tattoos for one another which are designed by leading artists in the tattoo industry, and which are kept secret to them under they are told by the show's hosts to take off their shades and see what was made for them. How these people "deal with the reveal" is just as entertaining as the designs on their skin, which are not always suitable for viewing at work or with friends. And it has become both a ratings and social sensation both here and in Britain.

In addition to welcoming people of all kinds to the parlor, both the American and British versions have also welcomed those who are familiar to MTV viewers from other series. And in its two seasons airing on MTV U.S., Snooki, Younger's Nico Tortorella and Wild 'N Out's Justina Valentine have had those they and you at home know drop in for a visit on occasion... and we thought we'd like to share those times when Team MTV Takes Over How Far is Tattoo Far?.
