The reenactments can be pretty funny on Tattoo Nightmares and the cast is pretty likeable. I don't mind watching it once in a while. Bad Ink on the other hand is irredeemably boring trash.

Wasn't Goon Girlfriend former Ink Master contestant(my memento-level bad memory for names says Sarah I think) supposed to be a cast member for some new tattoo show? Is it one of the ones that've been just mentioned?

Tattoo Redemption made me feel sad because they were like "yeah I can't wait to have someone good fix this terrible mistake" and then they were like "oh yeah totally oh wait no it's that guy you hate". That said, I watched the whole thing and will probable watch the rest.

I don't mind Tattoo Nightmares so much but I can't binge it. They do some awesome cover ups but other than that, the show is pretty the same every episode. The artist going "I can't WAIT to hear this story!/I HAVE to hear this story!" in the most poorly acted way possible and then making like it's the most horrible tattoo they've ever seen. When you skip all that, I think you get maybe 5-8 minutes of them actually tattooing. I think tattoo redemption should be them having to fix their mistakes. That hula girls face was jacked as hell.

I didn't mind St. Marq at all, and I'm kind of surprised to see how many people didn't like him. He was one of the best tattoo artists on the show, and he knew it. The fact that they got rid of him ahead of no-talent pokers like Duffy and Tyler is just really loving weird. I mean, those two are just BAD. I'm sure they're lovely people and all, but they are in the wrong industry. I suck at playing the piano; you don't see me out there trying to do it professionally (and getting all buttmad when someone points out that I suck). I mean, sure, St. Marq was a dick, but he could back it up with real talent. That stained glass tattoo was a loving masterpiece (while fresh) although it probably won't age super-well. The difference in talent this season seems huge. We're already in episode 11, and there are STILL two tattoo "artists" that should never have made it on to the show. I'm shocked at how BAD some of these people are. I would expect the people on the show to be mediocre - we're not going to see Ed Hardy on this poo poo - but it's pretty breathtaking how poo poo some people are at their chosen profession. Why would you become an artist if you've got no idea what, say, a human thumb looks like? Katie is cool. I wouldn't wear any of her work on the show, and I don't like her style (either as a tattooist or as her outfits). But she's a rock-solid tattooist. She knows her limits, and works within those limits. She is by no means in the top five artists, but she's always been able to turn out good work in a good style.

cheese eats mouse posted:I'm working my way through the rivals season and it's just so horrible. Like a train wreck you can't stop watching. It seems like people are more competent in later seasons versus the first and second season where every tattoo was horrible. The Rivals season was unwatchable. I like me some lovely television - I keep it on while I'm working on other things - and I couldn't watch that poo poo. I ended up skipping to the end to see the tattoos. Edit: at least it didn't have "Tatu Baby" on it. gently caress, was she awful. Her chosen moniker makes me cringe in secondary embarrassment, particularly given how mediocre her actual ink was. I'd rather watch Rivals three times in a row than have to suffer through another season of the judges twisting themselves into loving knots trying to justify keeping her around week after jacked-up week. She wasn't chosen as audience favorite because of her work, that's for drat sure. I guess I just have a serious problem with people who can't let their work speak for itself. If you're a great tattooist, then be a loving great tattooist. Leave the eight inch high heels and stupid facial hair at the door; spend a little less time choosing "wacky" outfits and a little more time learning basic anatomy.

This show in particular, probably not, but that's pretty much the number one reason people watch reality TV and the production companies that record it are keenly aware of that and will try to maximize drama, even if the actual participants of the drama don't really give a poo poo behind the scenes.

Redemption reminded me just how ridiculous Mystical Mike is, and how cool Jime is. I love how they build these people up to think they're going to be working with a brand new and reputable artist only to be completely caught off guard. Dave Navarro really is a smooth talker, man.

Matt's tattoo was horrible and he deserved to go home, but I'm glad they called Chris out on putting that much white in. They do that way too much on this show (and wayyy too much on Tattoo NIghtmares) and only get called out once a season or so.

Katie was always decent to be around (she left the shop to go work with Matt again a few months after I started), but sources close to me are saying that she has really let her recent "fame" go to her head. Apparently she recently had to be asked to leave a restaurant after she flew off the handle and started screaming at her ex about how she's hot poo poo now.

Someone said that and I believe it. Best-case scenario it disappears way before the rest of the tattoo. I'm curious about Matt's claim on the black bib. I know it will fade, but will it fade enough to look normal (long horizontal line on top notwithstanding)? Don used the same excuse last season on one of his tattoos, I remember.

White is pretty dependant on skin tone. I have really white skin and it lasted fine on me for 13 years (till I covered up the tattoo in question). Tanning and sun exposure kill white too. However when it's used as a highlight etc it tends to work out on most tattoos because when used sparingly it will tend to look white in comparison to the surrounding area. It's about using it thoughtfully.

^SA's own new school master, ToastFaceKillah, used white in one of my tattoos, but she used it the "right" way. There are no big patches of it, only highlights and accents. Plus, it's on my thigh, so it doesn't see sunlight and has stayed white really well.detectivemonkey posted:Someone said that and I believe it. Best-case scenario it disappears way before the rest of the tattoo. It will lighten up some, but not a huge amount. Some tattooers use the same approach with portraits. They'll do it so it seems a little too dark at first, but, once it heals, it will actually be lighter. This is usually done so that they age better, as opposed to something like a portrait you'd see Kat Von D do that super light and looks picture perfect immediately after being done...but won't last long because all the fine detail is so faint that it disappears rapidly. It's also why you'll have people think their tattoo is "faded" because, after if heals, it's not as WHOA HOLY poo poo THAT LOOKS SUPER BLACK as when it was fresh. All in all, Matt's tattoo will lighten up, but it's still way too dark and I'm surprised as poo poo that he made it through with it. XIII fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Sep 18, 2015 |

It really is obvious they wanted Erik off since he was being really chill and didn't want any part of any drama, so they took the one time he made a relatively bad tattoo and kicked him off. The problem was the other two tats were magnitudes worse so you're left with the judges desperately scrambling for a halfway decent reason to kick him off which amounted to "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he um, uh, didn't follow the challenge close enough."

I wonder if people like that ever see a drop in business after these sorts of shows? I'm also done with the series after this season. I really could not care less about the manufactured drama. Showing master tattoo artists critiquing work could be an entire episode and I'd much rather watch that.

Decent Ink Master Episode, Craig is doing questionable work and really Kruseman should have won. Yes it was simple but it was hands down the best one of the day. Matt totally killed the flash challenge and got screwed on that bit I think. Retribution was one of the best episodes so far, Watching Jason tell that bitch off was awesome.
