Tat Stats

How many tattoos were performed and how long did it take to happen?

Thomas and his crew inked 94 tatoos on the road over the course of 36 days of shooting. Of the 94 tats only 34 of these will appear in the actual series.

What was the dollar value on all of the tattoos created?

These tattoos combined are worth roughly $37,000.

How many miles were covered in the bus?

Thomas drove the bus over 3,000 miles in the pilot, more than 3,600 miles in the first 9 episodes and over 2,300 miles in the last 4 episodes. Altogether, the bus traveled more than 9,000 miles during the first season.

How many gallons of Diesel did the bus burn?

The bus gets roughly 5 miles per gallon, so Thomas burned over 1,800 gallons of Diesel fuel during the course of the trip.

How many tires were used over the course of the trip?

Thomas went through 8 tires on the first leg of the journey and 8 more on the second leg for a grand total of 16 tires.

How many Red Bulls did Thomas down during the trip?

Thomas averaged 10 energy drinks a day during his road trip. That means he drank roughly 70 Red Bulls a week and 420 over the course of his journey. At $2.50 a pop, that's over $1,000...or roughly enough money to fill up his gas tank three times.
