It's funny you mention toys cuz what she totally reminds me of is one of those Monster High dolls my niece plays with. I also find her just as annoying as trying to open the packaging that the dolls come in

I wish they'd put a little more effort into making it less obvious which bottom 3 contestant is going home this early in the season, even though this is Ink Master and the judging has been ultra predictable when it comes to Peck/Nunez/producer favorites for a lot of seasons already.

To be fair I really thought that Nikki was going to get it in the peacock challenge. I know not finishing a tattoo is a cardinal sin, but like Nunez said, she literally didn't colour inside the lines!

Glad Dave got ousted, bummed that John did. I liked John more than Sirvone.

Also it's very satisfying, at least to me, when I get on IG and see a post by one of the first contestants that got out in the first ep, realizing I only followed them because they were on the show, then unfollowing them. Example: Elisheba.

That flash challenge was ridiculous - ok, that's a given. But how the gently caress could they even film it? It was SO BAD. Boring, pointless, unthrilling, had nothing to do with anything, argh.

Also I hate when it means only one team tattoos per episode. This season really sucks.

Yeah, I was hoping the format would be like Top Shot, where it's a team setting but individual challenges, and it's up to the teams to work together to improve their strengths and have to remove their weakest members when they lose. Or maybe if Peck and Nunez reviewed their team members' designs to say "this is what the judges are looking for this week and what you need to fix before you start tattooing" so the quality of tattoos improved. But this is the worst format, it's just "normal Ink Master, except half the contestants sit on their hands each week"

Also, watercolor tattoos? What's next week, feathers/dandelions turning into bird silhouettes? And the flash challenge is to piss 6 feet in the air straight up without getting wet

I think they made the right decision between the three of them, but from a pure technical standpoint, it would have been Gia. Those squares are unforgivable. Don't get me wrong, Boneface's wasn't pretty, but at least it's got a lot of imagery. Gia's was creative and all, but you can't be creative if you can't execute it.

I would really, sincerely like to like the girls, because a couple of them are obviously very talented (Ryan and Kelly specifically.) But boy oh boy, they're getting more annoying by the episode. Particularly Nikki, who acts like a 10 year old (even getting comforted during the critique that wasn't even hers.)

It's getting so blatant, I'm honestly starting to question if the producers set this up. The four of them attacking one person at once, the snickering during their critique, the piping up during their critique, and just all the whining. That's what really kills me, after every single response. There have been some cocky people on this show, but they act shocked that Gian was gunning for them when they've made no secret of the fact that they're a unit.

Ah well, I'm sure it'll all fall apart once they combine the teams and Kelly and/or Ryan will make it to the final.

Nikki really needs to follow Sketchy's tip and shut the gently caress up, jfc.

Who's everybody rooting for? Gian, Kelly and Sketchy are my favourites. Sketchy doesn't have the best tattoos but his demeanor is the best. Tito is also hilarious.

Ryan is obviously going to be a finalist, I'm thinking for final 5 it'll be Ryan, Gian, Kelly, Gia and... hmm... hopefully Sketchy!

There was a ton of awesome details and design choices and techniques packed into that tattoo but the fact that the wolf's head was so lopsided really pulled it down for me. It felt like the wolf was supposed to be slightly turned away but then the eyes & nose were in direct alignment making it look like it was looking directly at you.

Just to highlight what I mean:


If you mirror the image it also highlights the perspective problems:


It's suuuuuper unfair of me to be so nitpicky about a tattoo which the artist was forced to complete in just 6 hours but I wouldn't even bother submitting any of the other tattoos to this level of scutiny

It can be looking directly at you without facing you directly forward. The nose is a bit janky, but the purple eye is clearly smaller and differently-angled.

I had that exact same reaction when I started reading this thread after the previous episode and saw her age in the OP. Lo and behold, when I finished catching up tonight, thus spake Boneface. Sketchy turning away after that line was the best, I'm sure he was cracking up.

I'm rooting hard for Kelly. Nikki needs to go, she's dragging the chick unit down with her.

That's literally the funniest and truest insult that's ever been filmed in the entirety of the show's retarded history. It completely devastated her the instant it entered the air, nikki's shocked, horrified reaction at hearing her most feared truth spoken aloud, and their entire alliance reacting like a fox-spooked chicken coop. It burned her so badly that her grudge bearing salt against boneface persisted for the entire rest of the episode in a really comically overt way, ahaha

Nikki doesn't even know what New School is? Ho ho boy.

Her "handsome Squidward" Lincoln was definitely bad, but Tito deserved to go home (and I personally didn't think he was good enough to make it to the teams in the first place.) They really make her look like a dope though.

I think between them and Kevin, Nunez clearly has the inferior team to Peck's.

How the gently caress does a professional tattoo artist in this day and age not know anything about New School?? Especially when they're entered into a competition which will inevitably include that style at some point? Had she never watched Ink Master before turning up? :psyduck:

I end up watch a lot of competition shows like this with my wife. Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, Project Runway, Faceoff this kind of poo poo happens all the time and it always bothers me. I get it if the show is in it's first season or two, but if there's 7 or 8 seasons out and you get get accepted for a casting call WATCH A drat SEASON OR TWO and figure out how the game is played and have a drat plan for when those curveballs show up.

You KNOW they're gonna do Japanese, you KNOW they're gonna do New School, and American Trad, flip through a loving book and draw a few pieces of flash, they're gonna have an unconventional materials challenge, practice sewing loving garbage bags, you're gonna have to make dessert out of gizzards and a pineapple husk, see what the judges like and what tools you'll have at your disposal and try something in your own kitchen.

I'm pretty sure Nunez even said something along these lines in the first episode or two when they were still picking teams, something like You know there's going to be Japanese, look it up.

I really enjoyed Nikki's skull pick, it's like she couldn't have hosed it up any more.

:downswords: New school has got to have color! I'll give Sketchy the black guy also I won't ask where anyone wants the drat tattoo, it's not like it matters or anything!

Woooooow. I'm actually very surprised. I thought Mike was the obvious loser, and then they play the report card. I mean, I hate to defend Gia, especially after she should have been gone for those chest squares, but she didn't have the worst one today.

Also, shut up Nikki, drat. She got an earful tonight, but I'm waiting for the next few episodes when it's not funny anymore, and they really tear into someone for interrupting.
