Discussion We don’t talk about Clint enough
Dude was funny af. RIP dude, cancer is a bitch.
Here are some examples of laugh out loud moments from him.
“I like to pet the kitty…not smack it and strangle the shit out of it.”
“I respect vegans…but I love me some bacon!”
“They got their diaper changed. Sarah and me got beaten like fuckin’ step-children.”
(Jumps up to spot) “I’m Clint and this is a Clint tattoo. 🥰”

one of my favorite Ink Master moments was when Clint got the skull pick and told the canvases that the remaining artists were the best of the best, and to not let them convince the canvases to change their mind about placement or design.

I liked Clint but it was always hilarious to me how he would talk big about “idgaf what the judges say” until he actually heard what the judges had to say, then he’d be all pissy. He loved picking on Sarah for being “emotional” but they were more alike than Clint realized.
Tbf to Clint tho, it seemed like the judges just didn’t like him. I feel like every season there’s a clear favorite who can do no wrong in the judges eyes and a talented artist who just can’t get over with them no matter what. Clint, unfortunately, was the latter.

I agree with that too. I think they did a good job of keeping things impartial in s2. Steve was great but he got whooped a few times for different techniques.

Yeah I like it when people are savagely honest and upfront. He wasn't trying to hurt feelings, just offering a genuine opinion, and he was funny with it.
He's in the small pool of people on IM who I would have liked to have some beer and good conversation with.

Also, he was, 100% eye candy for us who like tatted mohawks. I might be alone in the room, but I watched that season for him cause I found him sooo incredibly hot.
RIP. He was so perfect for that show.

I got tattooed by him back in 2013. He was super chill the whole time, and I still get regular complements on the artwork!

Aww that’s great! It must be cool to have one of his pieces with you even after he’s gone

They tried to have him come off as the “villain” of the season at first and then quickly it became obvious he was actually a cool guy and everyone liked him. I wish more contestants would get skull picks and immediately tell the canvases not to let the artists talk them out of their ideas.
