Best of Returning Artists (Part 1) | Ink Master 

The fact that Cleen has been on Ink Master 3 times and made it to the finale each time is crazy.

christian and cleen's rivalry was honestly the best across all the seasons. they are a joy to watch

The fact that Cleen took the loss to jason like a man without getting mad and seeing sincere happiness on his face during the celebration for Jason's win shows alot of character, much respect to the guy,Although I do think he shouldve beat jason. Dude just seems so genuine. Forgot to mention the dude didnt even flinch when he heard the boos, even being undeserved.

The fact that cleen keeps getting to the finale just means he deserves the W by default.

The rivalry (and pretty sure the friendship) of Cleen and Christian is the best thing in Ink Master

14:17 Jimmy saying “We’re almost done, like five or ten minutes” to his canvas being immediately followed by a clip of Dave announcing *”12 HOURS LEFT”* made me giggle

Me: Wow, that tat looks incredible! Judges: My eyes are burning, it's so horrible I can't look!

As if Craig comes back & gets eliminated. Doing the same tattoo, but the fact that he was satisfied with himself even though he didn’t win. Shows he has mad fkn heart. & I respect him so much & wish I could meet him

Cleen only lost those finales just to keep him coming over and over again

Cleen is my favorite Ink Master contestant, followed closely by Ryan

Cleen's level of determination is literally through the roof congratulations man you deserved it

I have so much respect for Craig with his ending statement. Like, I love that. He didn't have to win it all to prove that he was a great artist, and the fact that he left gracefully really does show amazing character. Also, I completely agree with the majority of the other comments. Cleen deserves to win Ink Master. He seems like a super genuine guy who does beautiful and solid tattoos, but also celebrates his rival's victories when they beat him in the finals. Twice. I'm so glad that he finally got his title the third time around!

Craig is one of my all time favorites. Such a gentle giant vibe and such great art

Canvas mom : son, you can only got one tattoo Cleen : i got you!!

Craig is so chill lol I could see myself being friends with him for sure

Am I the only person completely baffled by Jimmy's 15 minute tattoo??? Imagine how much the canvas tells that story lol

cleen deserved the win every season he was on. -his was more appealing than Jason’s -Dave literally points out Anthony didn’t finish the chest nor “sleeve out the sleeve” -probably would’ve gone farther without Aaron Is, but the buddha tattoo was still cute, backwards thumbs or not i find it crazy that he ever won /officially/ since technically winning as a coach might not consider him an ink master. but his master canvas vs Christian was absolutely insane, huge, bold, and i loved it. i also kind of hoped he’d make an appearance on season 13 just to keep him on every odd season since 5 haha

Craigs second Poseidon tattoo looks incredible idc

Jimmy Snaz won season 13 for me even though it wasn't declared. He also the artist I changed my mind about the most, showed the most growth. Legend. 👏

Dude cleen making it to the finale three times should be an automatic win

"When I look at all three tattoos Jimmy's is the least appealing" *shows three tattoos, of which Jimmy's is definitely the most appealing"

I’m mad we didn’t get “cleen, you do have what it takes to be ink master”

after binge watching Ink Master, (never saw it on TV just watched on youtube) I was glad to see Cleen finally win and my quesiton is: how the hell you get to be a canvas for the show?

Cleen is an amazing inspiration to me. At first gaze, he looks arrogant, but he's so nice! He pushes through over and over again 💖

Dave is so sweet it’s impossible for him to be mean

I always kind of thought they kept not giving Cleen the win was because they wanted to be able to bring him back. FOUR TIMES. That way they knew they'd have a veteran competitor who could compete with anyone, and guaranty they had a consistently amazing artist on as many seasons as possible. I honestly think Cleen was the most consistent and talented artist they had on any season. He made it to the finale twice, the got sent home because they made the stylistic choice to do the Buddha hands backwards like their reference. No way Katie and Matt should've stayed longer than Cleen in any season, situation or scenario. I think Anthony deserved his win, but no way Cleen should ever have lost to Jason Clay Dunn the first time he was on the show. That little leprechaun was just a rude little ferret, whose work was sometimes good, but never great. Cleen had many great tattoos and Jason was always more middle of the road, and sometimes even bad. I remember how mad Chris Nunez was when Cleen and Aaron got sent home instead of Katie and Matt. He basically told Katie he was mad because they ran to the judges to point out the backwards hands, and then got rid of them as soon as he could later on. Finally, Cleen came back as a coach, his team member won in the finale, and Cleen, himself, won with his own tattoo against Christian. It's funny because Cleen and Christian had such a rivalry, but by the end of the coach's season, Christian seemed genuinely happy for Cleen when he won. I'd be willing to guess that they actually came out of that season as friends, despite the smack talking and competition. Christian was really great, but Cleen was the best overall artist the show has ever had, in my opinion.

Dave voted for Cleen in every finally lol. He must rly be a fan of his art style

at this point, I think they just enjoyed seeing Clean suffer. Like damn, that man deserved ink master more than once and lets be real the judges knew that too.

Cleen is a class act I don’t like 100% all of his work but he’s a good sport about all of his attempts! He should be a judge if they ever bring back the show

Imagine the feeling of having a ink master finale winning tattoo 🥰💪🏻🙏🏻

Man i feel so bad for Clean, hes the most talented and consistent tattoo artist on the show imo.

Jimmy could be a Scooby doo character🤣💀

The Snaz Daddy is one of the all time greatest people to compete. Friendly, creative, funny, supportive, and so much passion

It’s crazy how some of the “bad” tattoos are still gorgeous. I would 100% get that one semi realistic mermaid tattooed on me. It was beautiful

When are they going to do all the ink master on a show?! And see who really is number one

Jimmy Snaz comes off as a real stand up guy

I honestly feel really bad for Jason Clay Dunn's master canvas; I can't imagine being stuck with a children's colouring book image on my back. 😖

I’m so happy cleen finally won. Amazing how he got to the final 3 times 😭

Craig was crazy talented.

The way Cleen congratulated Anthony after already losing a final👏 ledge.

I'm not a new school gal, but Cleen is one of the most consistent artists I've ever seen!

in my mind, Jimmy Snaz is an ink master.

Jimmy’s mermaid was so much better than Amanda’s. she coasted by way too long that season as Christian’s little pet; so many better tattoo artists went out before she finally left.

Craig was unrated and cleen is a beast at tattooing 👌🏽

Cleen, Jimmy, and Matt Baugh, some of my favorites....

Cleen seems like a good dude. Glad he finally won.

Cleen was my Ink Master for 3 seasons. No doubt. He is the best ink master for me after Ryan.

LETS GET IT!!!!!😍🤞😭 thank you so much for this golden content!!!! Never stop pls😍😭👏

These critiques are brutal... unbelievably raw.

Jason fricked up so many times I don't even know how he made it that far it's ridiculous Cleen yet again got ripped off I would get tattooed by him any time.

so glad cleen finally got a win, he deserves it

Cleen got robbed both times 😂

Me when Cleen won😭😭👏👏👏👏 I am so happy for him an incredible artist who never gave up.

I truly loved Jimmy's mermaid .-.

28:35 very awkward pause XD oof

I will NEVER understand how someone who DID NOT finish the tattoo can win. Anthony didn't deserved it. At least, not based on that unfinished tattoo.

Love this

I love Craig and Miami. Got my 2nd and 3rd tat from Miami back in 2006 or so. Got some small but memorable chats with both, always a fan anytime they pop up.

Best master canvas ever. Cleen will always have the best.

Cleen is my favorite. I'm glad he won the title of Ink Master.

Cleen should have one every season he was in the finally. I think they played it this way as he was a fan favourite and that drew in the sympathy viewers.

I remember how I thought Jimmy's mermaid to be crazy hot, especially because of that "thick neck and bold jaw". She looked strong, not like a barbie. It always bugs me how stereotyped the judges view on a "beautiful woman" is.

cleen is absolutely an ink master in my eyes. definitely my favorite person to ever be on the show

Dave is honestly the best celebrity judge/host of a show honestly he’s so fair and unbiased

The worst winner in ink master history was Jason Clay Dunn. I still don’t get what the judges were looking at in that one.

imagine losing to an unfinished piece...smh

Omg I just realized that they removed all Peck from the clips.

6:49 “In this compestition “

Cleen should have won every single time. He had always the best tattoo!!

Season 11 was the best. Clean finally took home the trophy and I found out Luka Modric makes tattoos in his free time.

cleen rock one is the only person I know that should be 3x Ink master

My 3 fav artists in ink master : Ryan Cleen Anthony

Love cleans work

Damn by now Clean should have been 300,000 richer js

Respect🤝

Cleen is one of the best I have ever seen!!!!

Cleen is a very handsome man and has the most endearing smile.

Sup wit that lavender sharkskin suit lol 😆

28:23 that tattoo was awesome

cleen is my most favorite tattoo artist of all time period.

Tbh I really like the thick mermaid at 10:50

I think 🤔 the best two artists on Ink Master ever is him and season two winner in the way their work is clean dynamic and not cookie cutter

Hopefully cleen gets his car fixed soon so his little sister can get her little motorcycle back.

He is the best!!!

Bro Def could've used some visene to help with those dry 👀 💧

“Best of Returning Artists” 2:05 “Craig, you do not have what it takes to be Ink Master.”uh what?

10:50 that tat was perfect

31:55 oopps i completly forget about the tatoos, all i care is to watch Cleen!

I'm in love with Katie

Cleen is undoubtedly the best INK MASTER ever ✌️🔥

Cleene and Christian's rivalry are like Yugi and Seto Kaiba.

Cleen should be 2 time Ink master for sure! debatable for 3 😮

Cleen🔥🔥🔥

Maybe no cash but the top 4 should get spreads in the magazine.

Cleen should have won everytime he participated

Black Cobra should've won if only because even though Bubba improved massively, he wouldn't have lasted half of that season without DJ. I feel like Master Shop should be a shop where all the artists are as strong as each other but there wasn't a single challenge to test that

Is everyone aware that Chris is a Marine? 🤔😆

Cleen should have won the first season he was on

Chris actually deserved that win he was nice, jerrell too he was good

When I took color fundamentals in art school, my teacher emphasized that value is what makes black and grey. So color is just the proposed pigment over that value. If you can black and grey you should be able to color.
