3Ami James
Ami James, the star of the hit TLC reality show Miami Ink, showed his 40 colorful tattoos in a “Ink, Not Mink” ad for PETA. Not only that, he’s also created a tattoo design exclusively for PETA to further show his support.
The Israeli-born artist and entrepreneur says he grew up with a house full of animals, which turned him into the animal lover he is today. His feelings about the fur industry are so strong that Ami flatly refused to create a design for Roberto Cavalli Vodka after finding out that Cavalli uses fur in his lines.
But his commitment to animals tortured and skinned for their fur doesn’t stop there—Ami has implemented Miami’s first-ever fur-free policy at his bar, Love Hate.
“I love all animals. I can’t kill a roach. I’m the type that saves spiders in the house and takes them outside.”
