I'm on episode 2 and there's a little bit of discussion in the tattoo thread so I'll link them. Dave Navarro seems to have recently learned the word "legibility".

"Next week on an incredible Ink Master..." *shows 45 seconds of people yelling at each other and nothing about tattoos* The show needs to tone down the drama a bit. I wish it were more like Face Off where they encourage each other instead of 700 eye rolls an episode and so forth. Other than that, it's fun to see what people come up with. Rooting for Craig.

Haha, I've been waiting to see if this thread would ever pop up. I haven't seen this week's episode yet, but I'll watch it sometime this weekend. X-posting from the tattoo thread: Katie McGowan is a former coworker of mine. I've met her "master", Matt, a couple times. Nice dude.

I'm a masochist who enjoys this lovely TV show. I pretty much ignore all the drama because it's manufactured, cut-together nonsense, but hell if my boyfriend in the same room (Totally Not Watching) gets all ranty and worked up at it. Possibly the best part. So far this season I'm liking Katie's work. Hoping she does well. She and her "master" seem cool.

They both are (from what little interaction I've had with Matt). Ink Master actually started when we worked together and we'd sit around the shop and make fun of each week's episode. Never thought I'd be watching her on there. She was a good tattooer when we worked together, but she's put in a poo poo load of work and progressed a ton since, so I'm excited to see how she does.

I got my first tattoo from Dave Kruseman so I hope he does well. I've only really see him do traditional tattoos so I'm betting a new school or portrait challenge is going to do him in.

The St. Marq dude is super annoying, it's like he emulating a character from a bad Jack Black movie in place of a real personality. I'm glad he's good at tattoos though cuz I wanna see what other stupid poo poo he has to say.

The first season had a couple actually likeable people. Or at least it had Tommy Helm. Or was that the second season? Either way, each season has gotten worse for the drama and rear end in a top hat contestants. The only redeeming part of last season was that Cleen lost on a technicality. Such good schadenfreude.

Yeah, someone who knows/has been tattooed by St Marq has to come in here and tell us if he's actually that over-the-top in person or just hamming it up real good for the show.

The general public are idiots. This is even more true in regards to tattoos. By being on TV, win or lose, the artists can jack their rates way up because people think, "well, they were almost Ink Master, so they have to be good."

Ink Master has a way of taking something that I already liked or could be interested in, then making sure that by the end of the hour I never want to watch/drink/hear it ever again.

The strangest part to me is the rivalries that blow up.If I was meeting a bunch of people with similar job/profession/interests I'd want to become friends with as many of them as possible. Because you just never know when you could use a contact or professional acquaintance in your field who lives in another city. This year's crop seems overall more competent than previous seasons. No one is really terrible, although some still don't get that they have to work within the style guidelines of the challenge.

My favorite moment of this season so far was the guy loving up the snake tattoo so it had no teeth and looked weird and his friend getting REALLY angry whenever anyone even brought it up. "Stop piling on guys, leave him alone, mess with him you mess with me like you never made a mistake!  "

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.

That mustache is so loving annoying. And the 'canvases' are mostly retarded. But that's to be expected from a bunch of people that want free tattoos, with no idea what they're going to get.

I've watched an artist spend over an hour making sure a stencil was positioned just right. Sure, that wouldn't be realistic when you had some time limit where money was on the line, but still.

Cruzman staying on was absolute bullshit and baffling. Yeah that wolf tattoo was lovely, but Cruzman straight up ignored the challenge and proudly said the tattoo idea was dumb. The judges arguments were also really REALLY weak "Well um, this wolf tattoo is bad and...Cruzman was good in the past!". It doesn't help that the tattoo he did was pretty garbage anyway. How the gently caress was that fair in any way?

I'm actually typically for the people who are willing to say "ok, this is what the dumb challenge is but you'll have this forever so I'm not doing that". I wish Cruzeman's tattoo was better, but I don't really fault his reasoning. Guy who got sent home is annoying so I'm good with him being gone.

I understand that the tattoo idea was dumb, but I feel like a skilled enough artist could make it work. And even IF he bucked the challenge he should at least had the decency to have a drat good tattoo to show for it. That tat was absolute poo poo, it was really clumsy. I'd also give the wolf tat a break since the dude getting it was stopping him live every 10 seconds.

The wolf drawing was such hot garbage I'd expect to see better doodled on an 11 year old's math homework. No amount of stopping and starting was to blame for the fact that it was drawn so, so badly.

I suppose my argument is the moment the other guy said "gently caress the challenge" and ignored what was asked of him that automatically means he has to leave. Yeah, that wolf tat was horrendous, no arguments there (I will say the constant start and stop couldn't have helped though), but the other guy not only ignored the challenge but did a tattoo that was lovely as well. It just sort of annoys me, I like the show but there are a lot of times where the judges pull poo poo out of their rear end to justify kicking people off. One of the most egregious examples was when a dude who did really lovely tats before did a really amazing, almost technically perfect one and you can clearly see one judge scrambling to find faults and just blusters a "Uh...i...it doesn't have a lifelike feel".

Earl's terrible snake tattoo came back to bite him in the rear end. I think if he hadn't done that one previously, which was so memorably bad and also another one where his art so badly mangled what the real life thing is supposed to look like, it would have been Cruzeman going home.

This right here. Dude just straight up said, "I'm not doing this". I don't buy the "I'd rather give her a good tattoo" excuse because the other person figured out how to complete the challenge. Her technical skills might not have been that great but she did the challenge in a smart way that made it look good. Kruseman didn't even try. I also really really loving wanted Craig to have been down there during that conversation of "good tattoo artist" vs. "didn't do the challenge" and get his input. The last few seasons have also endeared me to Dave. He calls the other judges out when they are being retarded and ignoring the rules for their own personal opinion. He did it to Chris in the finale last season too. Dave had a good point with, "Well okay, next week we'll have a head tattoo challenge and he can just tattoo someones chest..." I wish they'd get rid of the human jury, they are all idiots. I hope they watch the shows when they air so they can hear the judges saying the opposite of what they often say.

I really thought I was the only one with this opinion. It boggles me how these people who obviously just want a free tattoo all of a sudden become "tattoo experts". The majority of these people already have some pretty lovely tattoos to begin with which makes me question their overall judgement. After a while each episode just becomes a bunch of dorks sitting around trying to talk themselves into liking their new tattoo while dog-piling on someone else's. An example of this is the first episode when the jury picked Duffy's squirrel. Sure it might not have been the best tattoo but it certainly wasn't the worst. I stopped watching this show for the merits of tattooing a long time ago and replaced that interest with the voyeuristic enjoyment of the train-wreck aspect but I can't help but still get annoyed with it sometimes. Echoing everyone's sentiment about Kruseman. Curious to see how things pan out for him post Ink Master.
