In 2004, Nunez and his co-owner Ami James landed a show on TLC titled Miami Ink, which revolved around Love Hate Tattoos and their clients.

Born June 7, 1967, in Santa Monica, California, the 52-year-old participated in the band as a high schooler, where he met Stephen Perkins, who invited him to join rock band Jane’s Addiction as lead guitarist in 1986.
They released three albums and became reasonably successful before personal turmoil ended the group five years later. He then joined Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 1993 and only played with them for one album, One Hot Minute (1995), before the band fired him two years later for “creative differences.”
In 2004, the guitarist formed the alternative rock band The Panic Channel with two other former Jane’s Addiction members, and they released one album two years later.
Then, the group announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus in 2007. During Navarro’s career as a lead guitarist, he featured with other artists outside his band, including Janet Jackson, Alanis Morissette, P. Diddy, and Tommy Lee.

His earnings come from his successful music career and appearances on the long-running competition series.
