Lots of ink, fighting, and tears.

Why Ink Master is Guilty Pleasure Gold
Wikipedia

Like most kids that grew up in the 2000s, I've perfected the craft of binge watching reality shows. From American Idol, to Flavor of Love, to I Love New York, to Rock of Love, to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, my reality television taste is all across the board. Now that I'm 25 and addicted to tattoos, I discovered a world that combines my love of ink and reality tv. Ink Master. It's a great show, a guilty pleasure, an underrated one at that. It has overwhelming negative reviews on IMDB and conspiracy theorists picking it apart, calling it fake. Fake or not, Ink Master has binge worthy reality television down to a science. Allow me to explain:

1. The tattoos are pretty amazing. Whether or not you like tattoo competitions, the tattoos are damn near magical.

Does it matter who wins with works of art like these?


2. And the bad tattoos are REALLY bad. Brace yourself.

This is why I love tattoos *ugly cries*.

6. If you love drama, the spin-off Ink Master Redemption will give you an overdose of reality tv drama and some fantastic tattoos. Dave Navarro is Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer all in one.

7. And the other spin-off, Ink Master Angels, uses tattoos to help others while finding competitors for future seasons of Ink Master.

8. But for real, I live for reality tv fights. Another spin-off, Ink Master: Grudge Match, has the artists settle scores with tattooing. I'm excited for the sass.

At the end of the day, tattoos are amazing pieces of art. Ink Master has helped me love my ink even more. Enjoy this Buzzfeed video made to promote Ink Master, the video that led me to this guilty pleasure:)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
