Gone are the days when the only reality shows available were "Survivor" or "The Real World." Now the market is saturated with reality shows, and some of them are actually really interesting! This is a list of some of the best reality shows on cable television right now.

1. Miami Ink
Miami Ink is a reality television show about a tattoo studio in Miami, Florida. The show features tattoo artists Ami James, Chris Nunez, Chris Garver, Kat Von D, Darren Brass, and Yoji Harada. The show mostly follows the artists as they tattoo different customers in their tattoo shop that is the shows namesake, Miami Ink. The show sometimes also follows the lives of the tattoo artists. During each show you see at least one person get a tattoo, and usually many more! The tattoos range from simple to incredibly elaborate, but all are executed with amazing skills by the tattoo artists of Miami Ink. If you like tattoos, this is definitely the show for you. You can even apply to get your very own tattoo by one of the Miami Ink artists at TLC's website. Even if you don't like tattoos, it's easy to gain an appreciation for the art form by watching Miami Ink. Miami Ink is on the television channel TLC.

2. Dog The Bounty Hunter
Dog The Bounty Hunter is a reality television show that follows Duane Chapman, or "Dog", and his Bounty Hunting business. During each episode he follows actual criminals and collects them to be taken to prison. The show also features some of Dog's personal life. Dog the Bounty Hunter reminds me of Cops, but it's much better! The show can be both funny and sad depending on who Dog is apprehending. Either way, if you are a fan of Cops you'll probably love Dog The Bounty Hunter. Dog The Bounty Hunter is on A&E.

Reality television offers options for everyone!
