A Newport Beach, California resident who is a tattoo artist will be going
around the country in his tattoo-mobile bringing tattoos to people's
doorsteps. The bus has turned into a customized tattoo parlor, and Thomas
Pendalton wants to show the world on television what tattooing means to me.
Tattoo Highway the show will be premiering on A&E is bound to make a mark in
television with it's crafty idea.
The Orange County Register said of the series, "The series captures
Pendelton as he provides a memorial tattoo for a mother who, at 16, gave her
newborn up for adoption. He tattoos prostitutes outside a well-known brothel
in Nevada. For a man grieving the recent loss of his wife, he mixes her
cremated ashes into black ink and uses that ink in a portrait tattooed on
the widower's chest. The experience brings Pendelton to tears."
