Snowglobe of Doom posted:There's a few nice ones where they try to be supportive and avoid drama but they're definitely a tiny minority. I don’t feel like Ink Master or the judges are being mean. The purpose of any competition is to see who can do what and if you’re smart, you’ll take those failures and improve on them. Take Sparks for an example again. His anatomy on that last tattoo was completely hosed. I bet he went home and figured out how to draw arms that look like they actually have bones. Or look at DJ’s partner from last season, Bubba. He got kicked off his season really early and he worked on every one of his weaknesses. He continued to study while he was on the show and I think that’s a big part of why they won. Bubba learned he couldn’t hope for DJ to carry him or for someone to be worse at the thing he’s bad at. The only other reality competition I watch regularly is RuPaul’s Drag Race. The show turns a lot of the competitors into emotional wrecks. But you can see that RuPaul genuinely believes in the queens and wants them to be the best they can be. But challenges are meant to challenge contestants and push them outside of what they’re comfortable with.

It's not the judges that are being mean and stoking drama, it's the producers behind the scenes, sleep deprived filming schedules, etc.

There's a ton of scenes in every episode of Ink Master of people sitting around in the loft coming up with schemes or arguing or screaming at each other (sometime even coming close to blows) which are really really obviously staged and serve no purpose except to stir up fake drama, or at the very least mostly fake drama. The producers pick a few contestants and arrange them on the set (usually sitting on the couches but sometimes pretending to play pool) and then go "Right, talk about ____" and start filming. They also go to great pains to establish 'villains' in every season so the audience can revel in them getting taken down a peg. If a contestant gets flustered for a minute or two then they show that footage but not the 4 hours following where they got their head back in the game and flew straight, etc etc etc.. Well at least that's what Charlie Brooker told me

Just once I'd like to see: Contestant 1: I'm not here to make friends, I'm here for the money. Contest 2: I AM here to make friends. Based on the numerical odds I'm not likely to win. But I do plan to keep tattooing, and would eventually like to travel America and visit your studios, hang out, talk shop, go for a beer, without worrying about old tv-created rivalries and bad feelings. Anyway, I like this season with the team coaches, and there are a lot of really good tattooers in the game.

Yea I like the coaches, makes for some fun times and strategy. I’d probably want to be on Steve’s team since he can actually teach.

They wouldn’t air it even if someone was that chill cause all they do is show the drama. It’s the worst part of the show. I’m not even sure what it accomplishes either since you mainly come for the sick (or terrible) tattoos.

I always watch the show on DVR because I end up fast forwarding through the drama. I just want to see tattoos and I want to see them get picked apart. It’s made me a better consumer and a better canvas.

Team DJ didn't ask any of the canvases where they wanted their tats. Surprised that didn't come up.

Well I guess we found out what it takes to get Anthony rattled. ROCK THE HOUSE M.D. posted:Team DJ didn't ask any of the canvases where they wanted their tats. Surprised that didn't come up. They no doubt asked but it didn't get shown in the final edit, the show usually only makes a big deal out of it when a canvas insists on getting inked in a difficult location. Occasionally they'll also highlight it when someones asks for an easy tattoo in an easy location and they get some good footage of the artists going "Oh poo poo I hope I get that canvas".

I don’t get why Katie didn’t get the canvas to move the tattoo to a place that wasn’t covered on razor burn. That was her biggest mistake.

We just started the new season last night and got a couple episodes in. Glad to see DJ back, I like him because he looks like my weed dealer. Really enjoy letting episodes build up on my DVR and fast-forwarding through the house drama, you can really rip through a season that way. Also my favorite part so far is the first ep when the contestants show up and there's the judges and it's like Nunez said "I want a hat too Dave let me have a hat"

DJ seems like a dick. He’s pretty good but not as good as he thinks he is. I’m pulling for Anthony, he’s not a good coach but he’s seems like an alright dude.

Just watched the latest episode, was it just me or was Deanna getting shoe horned in to shots at the beginning because she was wearing something low cut? Camera kept cutting to her when she wasn't even part of the conversation. It felt creepy.

Invalid Validation posted:DJ seems like a dick. He’s pretty good but not as good as he thinks he is. My recollection is that he seemed much more levelheaded than the rest of the contestants on his own season. Half of the scenes with the coaches have them acting like reasonable adults, and the rest seem pretty clearly produced.

I'm totally down with both DJ and Anthony. DJ seems cool and good, and as does Anthony but poo poo, abandoning the team and taking ink from a guy who pissed his canvas out of the room was a bold move. I'm glad the tat turned out well. Steve seems to have a terminal case of small dick syndrome. I hope his ladies don't bank on penetration.

I've definitely seen times over the years when it looked like someone's boobs are almost a hindrance when tattooing.

I'm now convinced Danny is actually Bobby Bottleservice in a mask. DJ kinda seems like he's about to start crying whenever he tries to throw back at somebody. it reminds me too much of my teen years and so I must reject him.

Man, that was a tough final choice. Both tatts were pretty strong but on the other hand they both had parts which would have annoyed the hell out of me if they were on my skin and I had to look at them for the rest of my life. I think the underbite on Josh's tattoo was worse than the slightly wonky eye, that tiger would look like a bulldog when it closed its mouth.

Yeah, a few times. One of the early ones where they tattooed American flags and eagles in Traditional style on veterans had no winner, and I think a some of the Japanese and Pin up episodes also had no winner in other seasons.
