I feel like I can forgive a lovely tattoo but I really can't stand the artists who seem to view the people getting the tattoo with a weird sense of contempt. Like, okay they aren't sitting perfectly still, but Tyler flipping the guy off behind his back like a shithead when the guy had valid issues with his tattoo made me really want his rear end to go home.

Big Ceez was easily the worst artist, but I REALLY wanted Tyler gone for his lovely attitude, the dude's been consistently below average too.

But there are a couple consistently below average ones at this point. Tyler's going to keep going because on top of being abrasive and attention-seeing he's now go this romance subplot with the equally below-average Melissa.

God I hate that kid. He's such an arrogant little poo poo. I think what's most annoying about him is we all have known at least one immature, young punk who thought he was Gods gift. Nobody likes 'that guy'. He and overalls seem like an oddly matched master/apprentice.

the funniest showcase of his human garbageness was how he kept trying to shoehorn the claim of having over 100 snakes multiple times in an episode as if anyone was supposed to react by telling him "tubular, what a rad dude you are". lol

I don't know. You could build a little story around them where the serious master takes on a wide-eyed adoring apprentice who gets cockier and less deferential as he learns the trade. The master begins to think the apprentice doesn't respect him, when really it's him who doesn't respect his apprentice. The apprentice doesn't think the master has anything left to teach him, when really he's just too stubborn to learn. They have a falling out. Landslide starts playing over a montage of the apprentice packing to leave while the master cleans up the shop... The show is going to end with the apprentice struggling with a piece only to have his former master swoop in to help at the last minute because he'll be damned if he let's that cocky son of a bitch give up this fight before it's over. He offers up the key advice which leads the apprentice to victory and they are finally able to reconcile with the former master acknowledging his pupil's skill as an artist, and the former apprentice showing respect and appreciation for the old school master who made him the artist he is today. They shake hands, equals in each others' eyes at last. Then love interest pops up to reconcile the third-act fight she had with the apprentice so we can close out on a kiss. Ink Master!

How on earth did Tyler not get sent home after literally saying "Yeah this whole competition sorta sucks and I just randomly threw this poo poo tattoo together because I literally didn't care" :psyduck: Marissa's tattoo was poo poo, but holy poo poo the guy straight up said he didn't give a poo poo anymore and lamely backtracked

This season is pretty baffling.

This next one isn't mine but someone else who's worked with the show in the same capacity: the format requires that we get everything the interviewee says or does written down, which the producers apparently hate, and I can't loving blame them it's a pain in the rear end. Anyway, according to someone else, once a producer was bitching about having to go through all the extra pages made by the format and explaining it and our whole job to the interviewee who then said something along the lines of "Wait, there's someone out there right now writing down what I say and they have to get everything I say, no matter what it is?"

Haha, that has got to be the most boring job in television. I guess it makes sense for closed captioning and finding sound clips, but wow.

What baffles me is all these people who are like, "This isn't what I do! Wait until you see me shine!" for like 5 episodes to only do something mediocre.

I also have to wonder if the producers egg these human canvases on to be total dicks about what they want. A koi fish with no water and Neptune with no pitchfork, please.

Am I insane or did Dave's tat not look that bad? They kept acting like it was absolute dogshit but, aside from that lovely dark outline around the muzzle, it looked pretty good. Duffy's was 10000 times worse, that explosion effect looked awful and it just looked really bland.

Dave's always been kind of a meh artist, but it was so weird that this was the one that sent him home and everyone acted was an affront to the art of tattooing.

Also Tyler continues to be the absolute worst and I can't wait for him to go home.

Nunez has had it out for Dave Clark all season for whatever reason. There's been plenty of contestants in previous seasons who would coast on getting the technical fundamentals & challenge requirements right, but lack in the artistic creativity, and some of them were frontrunners & winners. Yet, all of a sudden, this season, Nunez is deeply offended by this when it comes to Clark.

Also, Kruzeman's jumbled puzzle piece of a tattoo was absolutely terrible and would have been eviserated if it was done by a different, non judges' darling tattooist. The fact that he actually recieved praise from the judges for it reinforces just how much favoritism he's benifited from this season.

Naa, you're insane. Dave's was loving terrible and looks like a lovely sticker with that fat black border. It also looked like the lion was getting gutted instead of it being a heart. If anyone else would have gone home instead of him it would have been a crime.

Poor Dave. That sad puppy face he made during his critique made me feel sad and embarrassed for him all at the same time. His technical abilities were a lot better than previous contestants but it was obvious he definitely struggled with the artistic aspect of it all. Great example is when trash polka day happened and his client said he had absolute free reign, and he ended up doing a rather mediocre tattoo.

Matt and Erik are the two I'm kind of cheering for since both of them tend to lay low, and knock out solid tattoos. I'd totally hang with Duffy and Kruseman, too; they kinda seem like interesting and down to earth people. Overall, without St. Marq around it's been interesting to watch, especially with how quickly Tyler has turned into the typical young rear end in a top hat contestant.

I thought they were going to say something about it being a loophole, like oh it's not marking your flesh just your nails but no that seemed very random.

Yeah, the idea is that they're all tattoo virgins and will remain as such, but they can get their fingernails tattooed because they will grow out and the tattoo will go away eventually, so getting the fingernails done would be okay.

You're right, that was one of the rare things they didn't overexplain but it actually was needed. There was no thematic linkage whatsoever

tyler and chris are such oblivious cartoons that it's really good they've been around this long. Craig needs to stop freestyling creative things and just stick to every challenge like glue.

I don't get Craig, does he not remember why he was eliminated the first time? It wasn't for doing a lovely tattoo, it was for not following directions.

I think Chris annoys me more than Tyler. He thinks he's so clever. I also still can't get passed the overalls. I mean, if you want to have a signature type thing (like Oliver Peck always wearing red shoes) okay, but to make that thing be overalls and bright t-shirts? He just looks like an over grown kid to me. And his head is distractedly round like Karl Pilkington's.

Agreed, those are the worst. But they came close with all the hyped up drama of revealing who would do the replacement. The girl with the garter belt didn't even get it covered up, just got a big expensive tattoo for free, so how much does she really hate the garter belt? I loved that owl though. :3
