Best Scar Coverup Tattoos | Ink Master 

They ran out of people and ran out on the street screaming "WHO HAS A SCAR AND WANTS A FREE TATTOO??" and she said meeeeeee

I honestly laughed so hard

Yeah a mole could be cancer and HUGE and deep.

So funny!

@@ARTSIEBECCA thank you, you beat me to it. That being said I would be scared to tattoo over a cancer mark because I wouldn't be able to see if it came back 😬

That's because they don't notice the mishaps until after it's pointed out.

Dude I was thinking the same thing. I kinda wish they didn’t do that in front of the client because then they have a complex

I feel so bad for the canvas who loves their tat and then hearing it torn and insulted with the knowlage its on them forever

I already overthink...last thing that I need is a professional judge telling me that my tattoo is full of errors. Give the canvases some noise cancelling headphones during the judging!

@@GirtonOramsay i mean they'll watch it later 😅

The artistry in tatu counts for so much more than a photocopy because of the creativity and actual effort tatu put into designing and consulting etc.., She earned that skull, its insulting Josh was acting like a little kid :(

Couldn’t say it better

I also think his was a cop out but from the judges own mouths and criteria, his gave them everything they "asked' for and was perfect (because he didn't have much of an obstacle) and still came in second somehow.

@@RagnarokCo he came in second because there was no creativity, just a photo copy

Tatu baby got carried by the judges that whole season, I don’t blame him for not liking her

Yes! This hit me right in the heart. I do love that he also told her that he wanted to make 100% certain that it was right and what she wanted - why he chose only to do one side vs both. That takes stones to tell someone, especially given the circumstance, but I think you can read his genuineness. He wanted to make sure she left completely stoked with what she did receive. if I could hug him I would! lol

@@samvinson5223 And someone in another comment said she reached out and went back to him to have the other side done at a later date because of how much she loved it. Just beautiful

I love how he didn't try for the second breast for the sake of the competition. He did the one tattoo cause he wanted to do right by her.

Watched this live and have seen it pop by in several compilation clips since, im not ashamed to admit the breast cancer ladies bit always has me bawling my eyes out like a girl.

The way he asks "pretty?" after she lamented about not feeling feminine, and then her nodding with tears in her eyes just makes me cry every time.

Same man. That hit close to home because my mom survived breast cancer, and she’s a badass just like these women. Seeing the artists help these survivors feel that their bodies are beautiful again definitely made me tear up.

Same with me. I have a cousin with breast cancer and seeing Matti's canvas tear up really hit me hard in a way.

She later came back to him and did the other breast

Yes, agree. I was so scared that one of these girls had to go home with a bad tattoo, so glad that everyone did a great job! They are all beautiful

I love your pfp!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like he allows everybody to run ramped. He allows them to call him Josh.

Gross

this was too accurate bye

😫😫 noooO

I mean, by that logic if Joshua didn't pick her than whoever got that canvas could never have won the challenge just because she had a small scar; which is unfair. She was included in the roster along with every other canvas here, so I don't see why she should be treated any differently than the rest by the Judges.

@@Intrepid_Explorer they also just judged based on creativity and skill, obviously they wouldn’t choose a simple canvas just to make someone lose, they aren’t judging the canvas they’re judging the art, so someone else could have won with that canvas, he was whining when he got the easy choice

@@jaded6064 The reason that he 'got the easy choice' was because he earned it though; he had previously won best tattoo of the day and thus was given the advantage of being allowed to choose his own canvas (actually a smaller advantage than usual, as it would become the norm that winners could choose everyone else's canvases as well). So again; why should Joshua be penalized for being rewarded to be allowed to pick his own canvas?

@@Intrepid_Explorer the whole point is to challenge yourself and show you can do anything, not pick the easiest option and whine when you don’t win, the judges have said before that winners don’t take the easy way out

@@Intrepid_Explorer he literally drew a flower! Like if you got an easy canvas as an advantage atleast make a creative tattoo lol. And then he goes about why he didn't win lol

He really did. I agree. Kelly was lucky to tattoo him.

Kelly did a great job Ignoring that the judges didn’t like it

Yeah he really was

♥

​@@cedgson91 It's even scientifically accurate too, that's fairly close to what a black hole would look like (the skin which would be the light bends around the center; slightly more light then usual but still) and it's not like she would've been able to work around it any better... although I guess this entire show is mostly about the drama and excitement considering that they're timed doing these tattoos and don't even choose the artist

I think someone said she went back to Mattie to get the other side done

the women Mattie tattooed actually went back to him to get the other side done because of how much she loved the first tattoo

@@cennix that's good because I was thinking that another artist wouldn't be able to match the same style. And that would suck. So I'm glad he did that for her. But I'm sure she had to pay for it. It would be nice if he gave her a discount though.

@@Ayaforshort Im not entirely sure about that detail as its been quite a while since i heard she had returned to his shop, but im tempted to say it had been an invite by Matti who felt it was right. Im not a 100% on this being free of charge but i am very sure they discussed him gladly making time to finish it for her.

@@dutchdude1985 it was free if charge

To be fair. Every tattoo was amazing

The whole point of it was that it all depended on if the canvases were happy with their tattoos. They said it at the start.

Nah, most of them were actually excellent

What

I don't think it mattered anyway because they were all so amazing to begin with.

My muscle biopsy scar on my thigh is sensitive. I couldn't bare it either

I wonder if some of them were lucky and had a nerve block to the area instead of just damaging the nerve. I noticed some were in a lot of pain getting their scar tattood and some felt basically nothing. Crazy

I have one on the base of my thumb that hurts so bad if I hit it wrong

I had my leg ripped open during a car accident and ended up with a huge scar on the side of my right leg. One of the worst pain I’ve ever felt getting that tattooed but after 6 days of three hours each, the pay off was definitely worth it. Finding an artist who understands how painful scars can be can make it so much better.

Its weird how that works. I got a scar right under my ribs from surgery, literally feels like nothing (though I must admit its been 17 years), but another surgery scar from like 5-10 years ago on my stomach is extremely sensitive.

This sounds ideal😭

I think there is one... Don't ask me to find it haha, I just remember seeing a video, think it was this channel.

it would be cool but it would be extremely triggering for the people watching at home and for the actual canvases

Hide em with a ladder

@@cennix triggering? What do you mean?

If there aren’t nipples it’s not considered nudity. Except sometimes, on Facebook, because they’re twats. But yeah, it’s the nipples, not the breast tissue.

Also, the one woman who did have nipples (reconstruction?) they did blur out.

I agree! I appreciate how respectful they were, and even though this comment was made a while ago, you might find it interesting that women way, way back didn't cover their breasts. In fact, they would sometimes leave one out and cover the other for fashion. I would share a link, but I'm not sure how to with a phone.

@@TheWifeRottenRomance Can they reconstruct those? I genuinely don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they could at this point in medicine.

@@stumpy1146 there are reconstruction options but they’re involved and sometimes difficult. A lot of the time implants are used, which come with their own risks (including making detection of future cancer harder). For implants, they often have to put expanders in so the skin is stretched enough to have room for an implant. Expansion can be painful and takes quite some time. Reconstructing nipples is complicated. Most commonly they will use surrounding skin to give the texture and appearance of the nipple, sometimes then tattooed to actually look like an areola, because otherwise the skin doesn’t have the color differentiation. Sometimes they can use the remaining areola for it, or even borrow from the areola on the other side if it’s still there. The easiest technique is to tattoo nipples on, so that the breast looks “normal,” though it won’t have the same sensitivity. And even with those reconstructions, there will still be scarring. Frequently very bad scarring, because many doctors do not try to minimize it. Often times mastectomy scars are much, much worse than they ever should be. Plastic surgeons should be a requirement for all breast cancer surgeries, even lumpectomies. All of these reconstruction options require more surgeries/procedures and healing time. But so much of a woman’s femininity is tied to her breasts. So there’s the toss up of wanting to still feel feminine/attractive/appealing, but also wanting to not deal with even more trauma and surgeries. 😕

moles can be benign forms of skin cancer or the beginning of a malignant tumor so you actually have to be really careful with them since they can go for so long without being noticed or worried about

@@whitemoonwolf13 whats your point? The challenge was to cover up scars so the artist who got her got off easy compared to everyone else. Doesnt take the same level of skill or creativity.

@@bigmoneygrubber i guess my point was to inform you that yes it might not sound as impressive as getting impaled but there could have been a reason that was just as traumatic. you seemed to have been down playing her scar by saying it wasn't as important as the others is all

@@bigmoneygrubber and there is always a canvas for those challenges that would be "easier" to work on that's the whole point again think before you speak

@@ephwurd2yurMother nah, im good

It's because female nipples are classed as 'sexual organs'. Obviously when they were making that rule they didn't want to admit that male nipples are just as sensitive and reactive to stimulation!

@@freddie488 who is They?

@@Mr.Sr.Jr. television censors.

Its really an American thing. In the UK swearing isn't censored very often on tv, and nudity is uncensored as long as its shown in a none sexual manner. It should be the same in the US but you can thank christianity for the censorship

ikr it's so stupid, I don't think either of them should be censored but come on. "you can't show breasts unless a part of them has been surgically removed because of a deadly illness"

I agree, he really understood the whole assignment!

so true! and also the fact that she wanted so much less than everyone else. That was the real test because he could have tried to talk her in to something more elaborate to compete with the other tattoos, but he didn't. he listened and gave her exactly what she wanted. top guy

oh most definitely they’re always nicer when the canvas is standing right there with them, even if the tattoo isn’t good they’ll still find something nice to say but yeah you can tell in this video on a few tattoos they definitely would of ripped them if the canvas wasn’t there

I think its for the best though

@@noble554 it definitely is because like imagine getting a tattoo on ink master and loving it but then dave, oliver, and chris just rip the shit and point everything wrong with it right in front of you

@@marzallen6762 yea that would suck

I thought it looked like shit tbh

I think a lot of it is editing. They arrange the video clips over the audio to make it look more dramatic.

Yea, even when they revealed the challenge some of their attitudes sucked

I think they might’ve asked them to look shocked, annoyed etc and then put that footage in where they want :) I could be completely wrong though :/

@@PuddingCat101 They do that a lot. They also make contestants stand there without anything happening to make them irritable, so the editors can add in those scenes to push a narrative.

@@Liberalshinigami that might explain why almost everyone is always shaking their head or rolling their eyes when someone gets good comments on their tattoo

Right? I want to get a realistic wasp where I was stung on my wrist the one and only time. It left a mark

That lady came back to him to do the other side

There's no way I could choose a winner out of them... They were all exactly perfect for what they were trying to accomplish. And I definitely wouldn't be able to send someone home on that challenge.

I didn't get Scott's tattoos at all. The scars were left exposed and all he did was several tiny black and white tattoos. They were not impressive at all.

@@dottiefarmer5547 I think the point is he gave her what she wanted. She clearly had her idea in her head and it wasn't about obscuring the scars but rather decorating the area in a 'sparse' way. To be honest, he did a great job in terms of making his client happy and giving her exactly what she wanted. I agree that in terms of scar coverup, it certainly didn't do that, but it made her happy and that is pure gold

@@becky231 True, if she was happy that is the most important outcome. I had thought the challenge was to camoflauge the scars so I was surprised at the tiny sparse look of the tattoos.

I definitely understand why Sausage won the breast cancer challenge (both breasts beutifully covered), but from an aesthetic point I preferred both Halo & Matti's pieces. Scott gave his client what she wanted but he provided fewer skills to critique bc he didn't do a cover up or really incorporate the scars imo.

Yo same

BRUH SAMEEEE

Yup, start around 2-3 weeks ago? That’s when I picked it up

@@strunkdizzle few months ago for me

They put two seasons of it on Netflix

Omg yes please

Is this one related to your other post, Or is it just a similar topic? Either way I think it's a good idea.

I love that idea a lot. I wish the scars were more common of a challenge/skull pick on the show

A mole could be cancerous

One word: cancer 😑

@Mikayla Kray thats not quite true mostly removed when they have the possibilty yo become cancer

Im going to be honest, mole removal isn’t bad at all. Assuming she had anesthesia she wouldn’t have felt anything more than tugging on her shoulder, kind of feels like poking at fat on steak.

@@crackgoat9780 it might still be tramatic for her. Just because it small doesn't make a difference.

I also liked how the judges were not nitpicky with this. They tend to be a lot more optimistic when it comes to certain topics, like breast cancer survivors or artists who just joined the season. They don't want anyone to feel bad in those situations and it's quite nice how thoughtful it is.

It’s most likely a bunk bed and the top fell, OR a platform bed that wasn’t built well

To be impaled like that you'd have to have the bed break first then fall on you, So the logical conclusion is someone else falling through a bunk bed with him sleeping below them.

Attack of the bunk beds man

The idea was good. But the dog is ugly

Terrible

The symbolism was worth way more, and honestly better than some of the other tattoos in this show

they are definitely a lot nicer to the tattoos when the canvas is there, and when they have a meaning

I Hope it looks nicer when tattoo heals tones could go lighter but that guy looks like he is happy to tattoo

I feel like that's such a great place for a tattoo too like a big wide expanse on your chest theres so much you can do with it

That'd be awesome

I haven't gotten top surgery yet, but I had the same idea lmao

Cheers

@J H In the mastectomy episode, they were tattooing women that had had their chest reconstructed with implants. In my case, my chest is completely flat, with just the horizontal scar. Definitely a different ball park.

Same here!

Awesome! I just got some of my scars covered up as well, and it’s definitely one of my favorite tattoos!

"Dennis accidentally hit his thumb with a hammer"

I love my scars.

Agreed, I have some seriously nasty looking and sized scars from a few score of surgeries that have been constantly opened stem to stern, front and back. I wouldn't get them covered. I honestly don't think they COULD be covered at this point. Did toy with a phoenix Idea down the side of my body with each feather/flame representing each surgery so it could be added to as I had operations, but it would have been MASSIVE and really expensive.

I want to know how he got impaled by a bed :O

I’m not sure if he had the same weight when he got impaled but the fat around his waist probably saved him, i’m not entirely sure

if he had a flat stomach, the bed would have probably punctured an organ which could be fatal

@@thetwilightzone2403 poorly constructed bed or bed frame something like that collapsing and the wooden beams jutting out, or a spring busting and stabbing out suddenly

If you're a women get your boyfriend or mum to check for lumps.

Yeah, I personally thought it was really cool, And made him look much more approachable.

I do Love it, very muc. has made my life way easier!

I want season 7 and 8 on Netflix

@@eddyjimenez312 put all of them

You have it on netflix 😭😂?!

@@katiemclaughlin2184 its on Netflix in the US

I NEVER KNEW IT WAS ON NETFLIX!!

I would have thought they would have had a back up person or something.

Good luck to you and your mom. If i was a prayer i’d be praying for her right now. Hopefully she’ll get that wicked tattoo soon❤️

It covered one of his scars but if you were to cover all of them it would have to go all over his entire stomach which would not be achievable in the allowed time

To many scars to be worked with so little time. Had to choose one

A large part of the judges harsh attitude is theatrics, In this case they would've gotten in a lot of trouble if they didn't dial it back a bit.

I have to see for myself!

You know when they’re adding more seasons?

@@danielnunez3846 I have no clue but they will probably add 3 and 4 because u cant buy the DVD

But only 2 seasons I finished them in one day 😭

I guess i should get a VPN then because it seems that they don't have it here in Canada 😭

I agree. However I think they should put a trigger warning before the episodes start if they do it.

Me mum wants mine covered xD I always say No. It's my history. It's my past. She thinks people judge me by that scars and she is propably right but heck, I don't want to hide anything because someone wants me to hide it.

@@artisticalex1206 trigger warnings don’t help people. They have the opposite effect of their intention. I’d never cover mine, they’re just part of me. I used to be more conscious about them in public but I haven’t cared in a long time I’m so used to them.

@@elvickRULES yeah they probably wouldn't but some people can get triggered from that stuff.

@@artisticalex1206healed scars shouldn’t need a trigger warning, open wounds are one thing but it’s healed?? no trigger warning needed

What is a Caroline tattoo?

@@daviddave8266 *Coraline. It's a movie.

What did you get?

May I ask you what her tattoo looks like?

@@olivia8352 Its Celtic knot work with a floral design subtly added in that goes from her ribs over and under her now surgically removed breast and the scar tissue and up her sternum, looks amazing and really means a lot to her.

I think we watched the same Ryan Ashley interview 👌🏼😀

Can you send me a link?

I heard Matti and his canvas also met up off screen to work on a second tattoo to match the first.

It definitely fit the shape of the breast better than Sausage's.

@Avery Murphy That's true but the placement itself was awkward. It looked just slapped on instead of designed to fit the existing shape

@@bonehunter6967 I feel like it would've flowed better if he had connected the two sides with flowers in the middle too (he probably didn't because of time but still)

No, as much as I love Halo, I have to disagree. Sausage was the only one that managed to cover two breasts.

Can't we just agree they were all beautiful, There's no reason to pick one over the others.
