Congratulations to Shane O’Neill on winning Spike TV’s Inkmaster!

If you remember, Matt was tattooed by Shane on Inkmaster’s third episode, but we weren’t allowed to talk about the show or his tattoo for contractual secrecy reasons. Now that it’s over, here’s a GIGANTIC photo of Matt’s tattoo!

It’s even more remarkable in person. Trust me - I’ve been waking up to it every day for six months now.  Look at the subtle striations on the Robocoup blade! I mean, that’s just bananas! Seriously, if you ever run into Matt in person, don’t be shy about asking to see this thing. It’s without question the best tattoo I’ve ever seen in my life, and definitely deserves to be enjoyed.

Also, he got our kids names put into it, but didn’t get my name because he claims it’s “bad luck”. At least that’s what he tells me.

In totally unrelated news, last night Matt and I attended the official “Call for Entries” party for the 2012 Food Film Festival! This was one of my favorite food events of last year, so we were thrilled to be able to be a part of it again. Click here to learn more about how you can submit a film!

Matt was on Ink Master on Spike TV last night, and I couldn’t tell any of you to watch because we were under a contractual gag order! GYAH! AND I wanted to post up pics of his tattoo and video clips, but can’t because they haven’t put them on the official site yet! DOUBLE GYAH!  

I know for a fact that his episode will be rerun next Tuesday at 9pm, so you guys should catch it. In the event you’re looking for it on your DVR, the name of the episode is….*sigh*…..”Pasties and a Cameltoe”. 

I made it two years before I had to write the word “Cameltoe” on this blog.  I guess I can be proud of that.

And while screwing around on the internet today instead of working, you should check out Shane O’Neil, the guy who did Matt’s tat and won the challenge with it.  He’s ridiculously hot and I’ve got a huge crush on him.  Fortunately, Matt’s ok with that because he’s got a crush on Shane, too.

I’ll be updating the blog later today once all the stuff gets posted to Spike TV and I’m 110% positive that we can no longer be sued for talking about the show (we’ve been under gag order for over 5 months about this- and the release instructing us what we were not allowed to say before the show aired was about 10 pages long in 6pt font, meaning I totally didn’t read it).

Here’s pictures of Matt’s tattoo, courtesy of UltraClay!

In the meantime, eat some cupcakes while you wait in eager anticipation!
