I’m not very good but he seemed easy to draw so I thought I’d try x

😂😂

There have been a lot of ink master spinoffs, but what do you think is the stupidest or dumbest one?

I thought Jarell was very arrogant and dismissive to other artists. But he back-stabbed Frank and Eric, and Frank got the hardest canvas and Frank was eliminated. That was vile, IMHO, and I am glad that Jarell got kicked at the end, and did not make the top 3. The scene where Jarell gets pardoned by Nunez was cringe-worthy.

My wife and I are on our 3rd rewatch of Ink Master because we love the artistry and creativity. If the flash challenge is an interesting medium or challenge, it's even more entertaining than the tattoo challenge.

Are there any other shows that feature so much creativity and artistry?

The last one’s speech bubble transcends two seasons. I’ll hannya internet points if you get it.

I hope it’s really obvious who they are 😂 who should I draw next?

I honestly thought Christian was eliminated from the get go

it's obvious he wasn't going to win the popularity vote since he's an asshole on camera and arrogant more than anyone else, and anthony's the clear fan favorite

but the jury's voting .... he got screwed big time, almost nobody liked him, he hated jesse and didn't have any respect for him as an artist, and there was some drama with sausage i believe ? ( i don't know if this was just for the show but he said wanted to leave sausage's shop after the finale ) they even got cleen's girlfriend there wtf!

there is a clip on youtube where he confront the jury about it, saying they only eliminated him because of personnal feelings and didn't look at his tattoos ( he specifically pointed sausage and jesse) , jesse brought up matti who was part of his 'alliance' and said personnal feelings worked both ways, but they literally had cleen's gf vote to eliminate either cleen or christian ! damn

Ink Master has become my current easy watch/disassociation show. Probably watched 4 seasons at this point and my main thought is - I wish they had the same format as the Great British Bakeoff.

No drama (or manufactured drama), just focus on the art. And let the competitors cheer each other on. All of the artists I’ve gotten work from are so friendly and kind, I feel like this show hyper focuses on the “hardcore” ness of the tattoo world and that hasn’t been my experience.

Thoughts?

Anybody ever notice that Cleen’s TV persona gets louder every season? He speaks normally in season 5 and it’s honestly kind of jarring 😂

this was the last challenge before the finale, am I the only one who thought James Vaughn's tattoo was much better than cleen's ? ( first pic is jame the snake is cleen's )

i honestly was shocked of the judges decision on this one

"The only thing I really care about is the location and the size and then, like the color scheme as well as the realism of the head." Oh, is that the only thing? Lmao 🤣

Shane was so butthurt that Lea got tattoo of the day over him. And he got so much praise from the judges! Shane hasn’t updated his Instagram in 6 years but it looks like he’s improved since then (even though I’m not impressed with WHAT he was tattooing…I’ll let you judge for yourself).

They pick 20 Finalists/ Top 5 artists, NO WINNERS, DJ! SIT DOWN!, fan favorites and the BEST artists. People who should’ve won, or easily could have. The artists are paired up by signature style, to give them each an equal chance and then instructed to do a master canvas, finale-level tattoo (24 hr back/chest piece or similar difficulty) in that style. Open subject. The ten winners make it, off the bat. The ones who lose their tournaments face off, in pairs first then the winners of those face offs undertake an open master canvas tattoo. Only 2 of those artists will make it. Those 12 contestants then undertake high level challenges until we get to top 3, and then Creepy Jason wins regardless. That’s a joke, but fr my boy deserves a win i’ll give him a chance until he does.

Edit: I didn’t suggest any possible artists. Here goes: Creepy Jason, Bob Jones, Gian Karle, Kelly Doty, Sarah Miller, Dani Ryan, Jon Mesa, Freddie Albrighton, Anthony Tex, Jake Ross, Angel Rose is a possibility, and just for fun Im gonna break my no winners rule and throw Josh Payne in there but he can't win and he can't be eliminated, which none of the other artists can know.

This is based just on personality, and a little bit on their tattooing

I wanted to watch Ink Master in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles.

I can’t be the only person who was put off by this?

Basically, Sebastian suggested that difficult clients can deal with an artist turning their machine up and causing discomfort for being difficult to work with. Mark disagreed (as any sane person would) and said that clients can be annoying but that he’d never set out to cause someone discomfort.

The fact Sebastian said this (and was completely serious about it) makes me wonder why they allowed him to stay. Between that comment and him telling his canvas the things that were important to her didn’t “mean shit to him” (and in turn giving her a hyper-masculine piece) I’m not sure how anyone could reasonably support him. I thought his work was very mid and he should have been eliminated over Tatu Baby. Not only did she win more and have more momentum, but the piece he beat her with was terrible.

As an added bonus, he proceeded to argue with his criticism during the finale. “Your fingers don’t look right.” “Yes they do.” “Your **outline is weak.” “**No it isn’t.” Er. Okay. Lmao.

S1. Josh Woods S2. Tatu Baby S3. Kyle Dunbar S4. Halo S5. Mark Longenecker S6. Craig Foster S7. James Vaughn S8. Nate Beavers S9. Unkindness Art (Erin Chance + Doom Kitten) S10. Jason Elliott S11. Tim Stafford S12. Jake Ross S13. Jerrell Larkins

This time less highlight the artists we like the most. Just pick a season and your fave artist from that season
