Seeking Ink
So Marlins President David Samson didn't actually get a real "Marlins Ink" baseball tattoo: it's a temporary one the Marlins asked the stars of the television show Miami Ink to design for the team. And the first 5,000 fans at tonight's Marlins-Mets game at Dolphin Stadium will receive a copy of the temporary tattoo.
Miami Ink stars Ami James and Chris Nuñez, who display their tattoo handiwork on the TLC reality show, will help hand out the temporary tattoos and throw out the first pitch. Filming for an upcoming episode will also occur at the game. The Marlins-themed episode is to air next month.
