LIFE OF AGONY BASSIST/COMIC BOOK CREATOR – ALAN ROBERT GUEST STARS ON THE SEASON TWO PREMIERE OF TLC'S HIT SERIES "NY INK"
New York native – Alan Robert, best known for being the primary-songwriter/bassist for the respected hard rock group, Life of Agony, and most recently as the creator of the hit comic series'- Crawl To Me and Wire Hangers (IDW Publishing), guest stars on the Season Two premiere of TLC's NY INK on Thursday, December 29 at 9 PM ET/PT.
The show's star — Ami James, along with the rest of the Wooster Street Social Club crew, have welcomed celebrity guests into their shop before. Last season, Corey Taylor (lead vocalist of Slipknot and Stone Sour), Method Man (actor and rapper of the Wu-Tang Clan), LaMarr Woodley (linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers) and fashion designer, Robert Vaughn (Von Dutch)
all got inked at Wooster St. and told their tattoo stories. On the
upcoming Season Two premiere, titled "Kings of NY", the show kicks off
with Robert going under the needle by the program's female standout
tattoo artist — Megan Massacre.
"Wooster St. has some of the most amazing tattoo talent around, so I
was thrilled to get my piece done by Megan. Her style is perfect for the
ink I chose," said Robert. "Being on the show was a trip and it was
interesting to see, first hand, just what goes into making a hit series
like this. I give the artists a lot of credit, too. It's one thing to
deliver kick-ass tattoos day in and day out… but it's another thing to
try and do that with a bunch of cameras jammed in your face. No
pressure, right?!"

Publishing) graphic novel hits fine bookstores everywhere in January
