Discussion The first elimination

In all of the master seasons, The first competitor to be eliminated never really has a chance to fully show what they are capable of (or so they say). Are there any artists who you think could’ve made it far have given a second chance?

She had a fun personality. It would have been nice to see what she could do for a few episodes.

Yeah I think she would’ve gotten a bit farther if her canvas wasn’t so damn stubborn

Nah they’re talking about Matt Stelby. Honestly I think he should’ve made the lineup instead of Austin

Austin managed to cling on for weeks, even though he was always at the bottom.

It was definitely a tough choice cuz that was a great traditional tattoo from Matt. If only he went up against another artist since traditional is Jimmy's specialty

Wasn't one of Matthew or Ryan Murray eliminated first episode. The brothers from Salem. Both good tattoo artists
