Ya know, I really like Mark and would love him to do color commentary on a whole range of subjects ranging from ear biting to how much he loves to live MAS. But seriously, he is my favorite and Jason seems to be spiraling out of control with his tats. So, it will be amusing to see how or if he comes back next week with a win or something.

Based on their performances so far, I can only assume Cleen, Erik, and Aaron will be the final three.

Cris is extremely lucky to still be there, Jason's nerves are getting to him again, and Mark is only now starting to show signs of his experience (though if Aaron has a bad day, I could see him in that final spot.)

There's not many easier ways to get me to hate someone than saying that they're responsible for the NFL's pink october merchandising opportunism. I did agree with him about Erik's tattoo being better than Clean's though. I thought Clean's was just a bad design that looked like Eddie in old-lady drag, while Erik gave his dude the badass, evil design he wanted, plus he pulled it off on the dude's back head & neck area that looked like it had nasty pockmarks and fatrolls.
Laughed out loud at that nincompoop actively trying to glean noble glory and accolades from his family's genetic predisposition for cancer as well as assuming he was somehow the one directing his profit-hungry corporate overlords.

I also thought Cleen's skull looked like some 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' cornball poo poo

Yeah, no poo poo. Speaking as a cancer survivor, you don't fight cancer, you simply survive it if it's caught in time.

So many charities talk like if you try hard enough you can survive cancer. You literally don't have to do a loving thing (other than follow your doctor's instructions) and you're totally at the mercy of your doctors picking the correct treatment.

Pity you can't get sent home for bombing a flash challenge, Jason's bullshit wing drawing with nothing else in it should've sent his rear end home.

Yeah I recently saw that documentary "Pink Ribbons Inc." on netflix and the enormity of corporate greed, corruption and media-promoted narrative of lies and fallacies that singlehandedly puppetmaster the "awareness" racket are profoundly revolting and allowed to run rampant without critical analysis by the public due to the moronic blanket of reductiveness our culture wallows in. They've collaborated to create a status quo notion that anyone who has succumbed to one civilization's most dreaded incurable diseases "didn't 'fight' hard enough". What a grotesque sham, and this doesn't even cover just how little of charity proceed funding goes toward meaningful, targeted academically useful research

I'm still annoyed at Cris for the bullshit he pulled in the amputee flash challenge. His canvas wanted a really cool tattoo (a wraparound shark head that looked like it was eating his arm) and he talked the guy into a lovely easier design.

Seemed like the judges didn't want to insult any of the tats on the amputees but that really was bullshit. The concept was great and could have been done but instead he now has a tattoo he didn't want or ask for.

There was Sarah in season 2, and she was the girlfriend of a goon. But I know there's been at least one or two other contestants who have come into the threads. If I remember right, Chris May from season 3 popped in around the time a canvas walked out on James Danger.

Chris May from S3, the beardo with the hat who cried a lot on camera. He seemed alright but he disappeared for good after posting like 3 times.

Before that Sarah "Stinkface" Miller from S2 was reputedly some goon's girlfriend, which is still funny in retrospect. He probably died after having his balls gnawed off during a likely breakup. :roflolmao: She's probably been the best performing female artist in the show's run, though.

I guess they thought Aaron's looked worse in terms of portrait accuracy, but it really was more of a tie. Based on history and the human canvas vote, Cris should have been gone.

It surprised me that Nunez claimed he had seen better work from Cris overall. Wasn't Dave the only one to vote in Aaron's favor? He even pointed out how Cris had given up in the middle of a tattoo.

What I find to be bullshit is that they said that both tattoos were so close that they couldn't be judged and neither won best tattoo of the pair. Afterwards, the human canvass jury votes Chris's to be the worst and they not only ignored that but Dave's pick. I even asked Aaron (who was hungover as gently caress today, he got really wasted last night) if he had pissed off any of the other judges at conventions. My guess is since they wanted drama and ratings, Aaron got the axe because of the whole king of portraits thing. On another note, the website to order Marks and Cleens headphones crashed today, they said it was due to too many connections at once.

If anyone is interested, I uploaded a bunch of Aarons portrait work today, his style isn't for everyone but I really feel like he was pretty hamstrung in the competition and it was definitely not his best work. (the Katy Perry is mine... don't ask) http://imgur.com/a/lQjfh

No backstage gossip or anything, it was just pretty obvious that the judges were giving her a pass as she got progressively worse, probably due to her online popularity (she constantly got the fan vote for best tattoo.) Maddie (who by the way, got in a fight with her boyfriend and arrested this past week for domestic,) was eliminated off a bad garter belt, despite Baby's not even being finished. But the real and greatest injustice came when she actually told the judges she had to leave, realizing how much she had deteriorated, and they convinced her to stay only to eliminate Craig instead, who did a poor black and grey piece, but had otherwise killed it in previous tattoos (Josh was also up for the third time in a row during that elimination.) She naturally made it to the finale, but was quickly eliminated first out of the three.

Pretty much, and them saying that both tattoos are similar in any way is horse poo poo, the only reason why I am still going to watch this show is to see Mark and once he is gone I am gone. I checked the ink master facebook and they are getting a pretty big backlash about the last vote and this season in general.
