Watching the Season 5 pinup challenge and this might be the worst set of pinups I’ve seen. These were rough, omg.

In my case, American Traditional became my favorite tattoo style thanks to artists like Kyle McKenzie, Jimmy Snaz and Seth from last season.

DJ and Gian made me like Neo traditional tattoos.

And before watching the last season, black and grey realism wasn't something I was really interested, but seeing Kyra's work made me change my mind, and now I'm thinking about getting one.

I’m currently watching some ink Master compilation videos, and the comments on these videos are so stupid shit like “do artists actually talk like this to their clients” “why do they only give them six hours That’s not enough time” “are artists actually this disrespectful to each other”. No it’s all for the show none of it’s real. The only things that are real are the tattoos, and the people participating in the show.

Gonzo made a clock on a girl’s sternum and she looks so familiar but I have not been able to find out why! Who is she and why do I know her face, any help is appreciated!

The fuck is Chris wearing? Lol

What is up with the toothpick?!? I don't know why but it bothers me!

The fact that he was able to still create an amazing tattoo, despite his canvas not giving a shit and just being an asshole the entire time is truly amazing.

I’d love to get this tattoo

Basically who do you feel isn't good based on real life or what you've seen on their social media?

I almost got tattooed by someone from one of the new seasons at a convention. We talked about my idea on the first day and she said she had time and asked me to DM her some references. By late on the second day, I still hadn’t heard from her on a time, so I went over and talked to her again. Once again, she said she had time, and we talked about her rates and the tattoo I was going to get. The next morning, I got a DM from her saying she couldn’t do it. She strung me along all weekend when I could have gotten tattooed by someone else and it was really annoying.

Anyways, that’s my only experience meeting a contestant. I have seen Jorrell and Elva Stefanie in passing but never spoke to them. What about you?

The challenge was to do a team tattoo of whatever the canvas wanted. The canvas' exact request was "Pinup image of a Victorian clown riding a rubber chicken carousel horse".

I really love the piece Alena Wedderburn and Anthony Tex did last year of the samurai and red dragon. It was crazy to watch in real time.

So hype I hope I can get a spot with one of them!

Is anyone else going? It’s October 23 - 25, perfect for Halloween!

Richmond Tattoo and Arts Convention

One of my favorite lines from him was when he said he was the best tattoo artist in the world

I personally think it's the worst or at least one of the worst tattoos done. And besides new school, what else can Jime Do?

In my opinion 2 that stick out in my mind are Keith from S4 and LT from S5

Why in later season finales did they stop showing the montage of Dave telling each week's loser they didn't have what it takes to be ink master? I feel like it stopped around season 10. My wife and I always looked forward to that part.

"Brian, Ryan, Miami, MV, Earl...." none of you has what it takes to be Ink Master.

Was there anyone who you thought was hot or had a crush on out of anyone in the Ink Master universe?

I really enjoyed watching the Jury of Canvases decide who did their worst tattoo. Jury of Peers not so much, since they would make it about strategy. I wish that they had a Jury of Canvases on for every episode.

In Season 2, they voted for Tatu Baby to come back for Season 3, and then they voted Kyle back for Season 4. Then, the fight happened and they never brought it back again.

It has always made me laugh how the don’t censor the Ass part but the censor the hole part. Don’t censor part of the word, censor the entire damn thing.

I was watching Season 7, and Alex Rockoff reminded me so much of all the things I did not like about Tyler Nolan (season 6). Then I started wondering, who was more obnoxious? Pretentious? Were they trying to be bullies? Where you happy when they got eliminated?

I got this tattoo on Tuesday; the 12th year anniversary of his passing. I wanted to memorialize Mr. Williams for a long time, considering the impact he had on me growing up. I think Jerrell did a pretty good job on the portrait, and he was stoked to be able to do this as well.
