I have never liked DJ sine they brought him onto the show in shop wars. I am not sure if it is the way they just edit him or not, but he seems like a massive dickhead all the time.

IIRC, DJ competed on Best Ink (the same season Teresa Sharpe was on it) and he seemed like an ok dude. Maybe it's all the editing/goading on from the producers?

I've got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gonna get all the way down.


I like DJ. :shrug:



Also Roly should have gone home, that pinup was awful.

It is quite possible that it is the way the producers are editing DJ. They have to create drama somehow for the show, even if a lot of that stuff we see is probably scripted in a way. I can still see him winning, DJ is quite talented.

I’ve been Team DJ the whole season. Anthony seems like a cool guy too. Steve is a lovely coach. Even though I never liked Roly I feel like he might have done better if Steve wouldn’t have been constantly over his shoulder. That’s way too much pressure.

That’s was some reality show rear end narrative going on that episode. Very convenient that all the judges got into the finally when Riley made such a busted rear end pinup.

Absolutely. Her body of work was so much better than Jason and Roly's.

It was so delicious when he was the first one eliminated :kheldragar:

It's kind've amazing that there's all these guys who assume that because they've been in the industry for 20 years they're automatically the best artist in the room. Sometimes 20 years of experience just means you're 20 years behind the times.

I kind of assume most tattoers just do mostly premade stencils that has a little editing done to them. That’s why good ones are expensive.

Josh's face just dropped as soon as Dave said that.

Never been a fan of these "the power is in your hands" deals to determine a finalist, but ultimately the judges are still picking who the best of the three is. Someone who might have placed #2 might place #3 instead.

Season 11 is Ink Master Grudge Match: Christian vs. Cleen, and premieres September 4th.

Not the first duo I think of when they mentioned a rivalry, but this will be Cleen's fourth appearance on the show. If he doesn't win this time, man.....

I was disappointed in the battle royale tattoo. I didn't think any of them were really that great. Juan and Josh were the right pick for final two since Roly only did heads. I leaned with Juan's more because I could make out what was going on while Josh had too much.

If I remember correctly from past seasons the finalist always did 2 pieces. One to get to final 2 and one more for the final. I much prefer that over just one piece to win it all.

Now the two head pieces that Anthony and DJ did were loving amazing. Would have picked Anthony cause he did two solid portraits on the dude's head!

I’m happy with the way things went. It was a tough choice between DJ and Anthony and I would have been cool with either one winning.

I get Josh winning over Juan even though I didn’t think his tattoo was as legible. His proportions were more correct. I would have rather seen Juan win, but at least it didn’t go to Roly.

Say what you will about his cockiness, but Josh was consistently good throughout the season and managed to do things bigger and bolder than expectations. I think that's what gave him the edge.

It pretty much went as expected for both artists and coaches: Steve was at the bottom for doing solid, but typical work, Anthony busted out something unexpected that was done really well, but DJ manages something above and beyond going past the parameters of the challenge. Good season, hope next time is decent, because that confrontation between Cleen and Christian sounded pretty rehearsed.

Like I said before, Christian is a producer's wet dream.

I like Cleen well enough.

I preferred Juan's legibility. Josh's eagle and snake were pretty hard to see. I assume Josh had the slight edge because of his overall work throughout the season (which was awesome). I think i liked Anthony's head as the best coach piece.

Josh's eagle head looked more like a parrot but I think he still earned the win. I was rooting for Anthony but I think DJ also earned the win. Steve's weird demon faces never look quite right to me, they're just not drawn that well.

I'm pretty sure that Roly only got in because the producers rigged the game so each coach would have one team member in the final so he never really had a chance of winning anyway.

I liked Juan’s more too, but Josh killed it most of the season so whatever. Notice how they didn’t do a grudge match between 3 people so they don’t have to rig it for everyone to get someone into the finale?

As far as egomaniacs go Josh wasn't even that bad. It's just been a slog the last few weeks, since they edited his win as more of a foregone conclusion than an accomplishment.

Well think about it this way one of them will win so they can ignore them going forward. It’s totally gonna be Cleen that’s gonna win.

I hope the twist in Cleen vs Christian is the loser from each team gets their fate put into their coach's hands and they do the losing tattoo over again, but good. Losing coach loses his losing player.

DJ stole the finale, all his tattoos were phenomenal, in another league. I feel like they had coaches tattooing so much because the actual contestants were lackluster.

Juan had the better Battle Royale tat, Josh's was one of his worst but it was pretty obvious he was going to win all season. Juan looked like he was wearing a borrowed suit.

Why would they buy him a suit? Its reality TV, not charity. I have no idea if he most anything but I'd not be surprised if he had to borrow a suit given the current situation in PR. Not sure where you're seeing dickishness in that.

I think it's pretty much an Ink Master finale tradition for people to wear bad suits that look like they were bought at a Goodwill on the way to the gig. (See: everything Peck has ever worn in an IM finale)

It's a job, he gets paid, the show is in LA, dude can buy or rent a jacket that fits. But I feel that if he showed up and said, 'I lost everything and have no clothes,' they would get him clothes. But I think he chose to wear that suit and they chose to let him, and it looked bad and I'm saying so.
:dealwithit:

And yeah, he still looked better than Peck. And Josh's finale tat was bad, Juan should have won.
