Rory Keating on TLC’s “Tattoo Wars”
The Learning Channels “Tattoo Wars” is a show that pits the best tattoo artists of our time against each other in a head to head creation competition. In each episode the world, legend and work of two internationally acclaimed tattooists is explored. They then travel to a huge tattoo expo where the stars, in three hours time, ink a tattoo on the skin of two willing clients. These creations have a common theme, such as a dragon, a calla lily, a sailor, a tribal gauntlet, or a hanya (Japanese devil mask) but are rendered in the unique style of each artist. As the show closes, thousands of show attendees vote for the creation they like the best and the winning artist takes home the Tattoo Wars trophy.
Guru’s Rory Keating will debut on Tattoo Wars October 18th. Rory was being filmed this past August at both Guru Tattoo and the Seattle Tattoo Convention for his upcoming TV appearance. He will be featured on Episode 2. For a full schedule of airing times, please visit the link below.

That show was pretty good. I thought it shine a respectful light on the tattoo industry. I enjoyed all the background about the artists and history on the art itself. The piece you did deffinatley deserved the win. Not only was it amazing but it showed a whole new side to what people think of when they hear the word “tribal”. Well done. Guru is hands down the most talented and professional group of artists i have ever come across in the tattoo industry and i would know…i’ve been a collector for many years. Keep raising the bar guys!
