E4 hit Tattoo Fixers to return for a second series

18 August 2015

Channel 4 Formats have commissioned Studio Lambert to produce a second series of E4’s hit series, Tattoo Fixers.

Tattoo Fixers’ first series has so far attracted an average consolidated audience of 797k viewers and a 4.7% share of audience per episode on E4, rising to 1.6 million viewers an episode when adding the Channel 4 repeat. The E4 premiere episodes have drawn an impressive 11.6% share of 16-34 year old viewers, more than double the channel’s slot average.

Series 2 will contain yet more outrageous, hilarious and unique tattoo disaster stories. So far we’ve seen everything from misspelt phrases, regrettable words, ex’s names and even soap star lookalikes cropping up in in the pop up parlour in East London. Once again, the clients of the parlour will have their troubled ink transformed by three of the UK’s top tattoo artists, who are on hand to redesign disaster-pieces into walking works of tattoo masterpieces.

Tattoo Fixers’ has been commissioned by Channel 4’s Head of Formats Dom Bird & Editor of Formats, Simone Haywood, and is being executive produced by Tim Harcourt and series edited by Matt J. Smith at Studio Lambert.

Speaking on the commission, Head of Formats for Channel 4, Dom Bird said ‘Tattoo Fixers has been a huge success story for E4. What’s more, it’s clear there’s no shortage of terrible tattoos that need fixing out there and we are excited to create more extraordinary transformations to delight our viewers’.
