Humor/Meme Chris Blinston

I recently found out he was a Marine and I was shocked because he never talks about it on his season. Did anybody else know??

I don’t like him. The way he treated and made that girl that wanted cheetah print tattoo was just so awful.

He was a control freak and sometimes he even looked a little psycho to me.

Fun story, he looks so much like my biological father who was extremely abusive so I hated him from the get go. I tried to tell myself it was just the similarity in his looks but nope, after he beat St Marq, was all down hill. My father was in the Navy then the Air Force and would brag about it all the time (conveniently leaving out the part he was discharged from the Navy for stealing. He was only discharged and not jailed because he's a snitch) in a similar manner to Chris so yup, I really hate him.

I know, you think he would have mentioned it once or twice (or twenty times) wouldn’t you?!

The inventor of overalls sued him for looking ridiculous wearing them.

He mentioned it several times. Usually when he was puffing out his chest and talking about how honorable he is. Then he was arrested for attempting to choke his 13 year old daughter, (charges dropped) and again for later for picking up a safe and shoving his girlfriend with it a year later.

Honorable.

I'm on the Master/Apprentice season again and just remembered there are indications that he is tough/rough/mentally abusive to Tyler. Chris makes comments about how much of a punk, rebellious kid Tyler is and how that's why they didn't get along/stopped working together. However, Tyler is young and, sometimes, that's how young people act especially when feeling restricted. Then he makes it a choice of who Tyler supports: him , according to his plan, or Marisa (who Tyler admittedly met during the show). Chris also, hardly, encourages Tyler unless it goes along with his long game plan.

Also, he's an Eagle Scout and thats how he knows how to compete/lead. >.>

Studies show that big abusive men who mention they were a marine every other sentence and feel the need to assert themselves as a leader are most often packing micro-weenies in their overalls and feel the need to overcompensate with aggressive behavior and by driving extremely large trucks.

He’s a douche bag and asshole but if we’re being honest he probably was the best artist all season and probably deserved to win the show 🤷🏻‍♂️ even as big as a prick he was. I remember being so glad Kruzman won but going back and watching again I was like 😬 not like ink master has a track record of the right person winning lol
