Best (& Worst) Photorealism Tattoos 🧐 Ink Master 

Judges: You need to satisfy the canvas and do what they want Also judges: This dosen't fit the theme why didn't you change it

That horse looks like something my 5 year old would come up with

TJ and Tim's moment and sportsmanship was so refreshing don't see that often where another person is excited for the other person especially since Tim didn't know his way around a tattoo as such

The horse was definitely the worst tattoo

Seeing as his canvas was kinda difficult, Bili did really well to please both sides but insure customer satisfaction. Good on him!

i just hate the judges some times, like how am i supposed to do what you want if my canvas is literally not allowing me to fit the parameters youve given me.

These judges are so flip floppy with what they want. It reminds me of the time I lost points on my driving test because one instructor told me to go fast into turns and another told me to go slow. 😂

damn they were too harsh on the fruit one. kinda hard to really nail the details of fruit on a proportional scale. that would just be a blue dot, then you’d complain it’s a blue dot with no lighting or texture

man i would be suing for psychological distress if i had that 'horse' tattooed on me😭

The "bottom 3" gorilla didn't seem bad to me. Maybe could've been more crisp but lots of tattoos look like that to me.

I actually liked Emily's gorilla tattoo, the background was really wack and really diminished the tattoo's aesthetic overall, but you could still see from a mile away it was a realistic silverback gorilla, while Mark's elephant and Bryan's horse both looked too goofy and cartoonish. Not the best tattoo of the day, but it didn't deserve to be bottom 3 in my opinion.

Tim: "I'm very shocked." Dave: "Would you like to explain to us why we're wrong?" Tim: (pauses) "...No." Love it. 🤗

That realistic fruit tattoo was crazy good! It's not something I'd want on my body but still, it looked amazing. I thought it looked way better than the leopard one that ended up winning.

I agree with the judges about the tigers. The whiskers were more of an eyesore than the pupils.

I actually thought the Gorilla one was quite good 🤷‍♀️

To let a competition determine your worth and let it get to you as Emily did, is really sad.

I really loved that moment with Tim! Granted, I do prefer the gorilla over the panda, but both are great! Both definitely deserved tattoo of the day.

"You beat me, Imma smother you in your sleep." Love that. Like sibs going at each other.

Despite the proportions, imo the fruit looked SO real my goodness the detail just popped !!

Tim's reaction was so wholesome

Tim’s shocked face at the end gets me every time!

“The fruits aren’t proportional! These are too big!” Have you been to Costco? They have blueberries the size of ping pong balls.

If somebody showed me their tattoo of that horse I’d bust out laughing, I’m sorry.

No matter what the tattoo is or what the comments are, there are always shots of someone shaking their head.

“Would you like to explain to us why we’re wrong?” “Nah” was my favorite here

Y’all talking about the horse. That fire helmet looked so b a d.

Tim’s reaction was great.

Damn....that horse looked like it had lockjaw 😂

dave still be looking fine as hell

Critizising the "unrealistic size" of the blueberries and strawberry in one tattoo - and determing a tattoo of a fullbody ocelot on an arm the winner...😂

That panda was so beautiful ❤

I wonder if the producers of this show purposely gave some of these competitors difficult canvases that they knew could sabotage their specific challenge. Such photorealistic competition, with the guy who wanted the inside of his arm showing, but insisted on leaving out many of the details that would have helped add to the photorealism of the tattoo. Also, I agree with all the commentors who said that the fruit was the best tattoo of that challenge. I think it was photorealistic, just maybe not what you'd see in the same photo, but if you were to imagine a series of photos of different sizes added together for one tattoo, with enlarged close ups of the blueberries and the strawberry along with a shot of the avocado from farther way, then it was quite photorealistic. The wildcat had really good detailing, but the fruit was both detailed and totally popped.

the gorilla tattoo at 8:25 is really good and well done??? the judges critique stupid things

What ever happen to having NEW artists? Not all these recycled ones.....its like the want to see Clean and Jimie win 😂

Can you guys do a list of client who wanted tattoos that would last more than 6 hours?

It was sad to see Gary go, they both did amazing tigers

Those tigger tattoos were amazing.

listen i know horses are weirdly proportioned because i have two of them but the comments DID NOT prepare me for that horse. i’m in tears bro

Fav Show hands down

The first set is crazy just thinking about what photo realism was then vs what it is now in such a short amount of time

LMAAOOOOO tim in the last clip 😭😭😭

Me and my giant blueberries are offended 😂

Love the panda

The tattoo in the thumbnail was so good that I went back to check how they got one curl of the snake lighter and if they put white on the highlight before I realised that the one I thought was the tattoo was the photo.

I saw that horse and just burst out laughing😂😂😂

Mark's elephant will lighten as it heals and will look fantastic

THAT Horse tatt is DREADFUL 😮😮

Sick vid

That horse looks like he's gonna be the frontrunner for the special Olympics.

Léa is so talented!

I think for judges to decide between tattoos like the gorilla and the panda is really hard. Both gr8 tattoos. But the horse few minutes back , was really terrible 😂

23:20 Actual biggest staged scam I've ever seen. TJ deserved that win, you can tell even Tim is surprised. All the love for Tim, but that right shoulder of the panda looked awful the way he placed it. TJ's tattoo was immaculate.

Best line of the day, " would you like to explain to us why we are wrong?".

Awesome! Good job all of you idols❤

That bromance between DJ and Anthony at 11:03 … we were watching. 👀

This is why I wouldn't ever get a tattoo imagine getting a huge piece and it looks terrible

The panda was amazing. Better than the rest

Can someone explain why the other judge isn’t shown at all??

Josh Hibbard’s ego was his greatest saboteur on Ink Master. If he had put that aside, he could’ve made it into a final three or win a season. I was rooting for him! We were all rooting for him! How dare he?!?

Those 2 tiger tattoos were gorgeous

Dope

Heather's tattoo was dismal

in my city black and white is out on a realistic competition...

So.. no one‘s gonna talk about the elephant?

As a tattoo artist, the fruit was the best tattoo. Period.

8:22 Crazy they just dont even mention that amazing gorilla. Could be saturated more but thats clean. Then they have the audacity to call it the worst in the building. UH that horse???

That horse hahaha

The judges always piss me off because they be wrong bro like the first piece with the fruit I disagreed with everything they said he did a great job in that tattoo

Por donde puedo ver todas las temporadas español 😢

Does anyone know where we can watch full episodes?

What? Why didn't they like the gorilla that was a badass tattoo

I’d rather wear Gary’s tiger myself. The eyes are crucial.

damn that firemans helmet is an abomination

Garry really resembles county singer/songwriter: Mitchell Tenpenny.

To me the first leopard anatomically is wrong, the technique is really good I’m not doubting that but I just personally feel like she pushed flexibility of a hunting pose

the gorilla was pretty good tho

Oh naaahhhhh the horse

If I got that horse. I'd be yelling " who's pay for my lazer?!"

That's an ocelot not a leopard.

Bryan’s horses ears were upside down, but no one noticed

That may be bias but I LOVE that gorilla tattoo.

8:05 I'm dieing XD

jesus these judges r the worst lol

That elephant looks like it lost a bunch of weight and ended up with sagging skin!!! The horse was awful. My nephew could do a better job! 😂

it's a shame that the show cut Oliver Peck's image

The first one. Lea’s was good but definitely not the best, it was Bill’s. I have no idea why the judges said it wasn’t photo realism, but it’s probably the same reason why they say “always satisfy the canvas” AND “this doesn’t mean the challenge, you should of changed it and forced the canvas” And the fruit tattoo could of tied with Bill’s. It was realistic, some fruit ARE bigger than others and even if they are you can irl position them to look bigger. I was sad to see Heather go, she was probably the nicest artist. But yeah, hers wasn’t realistic at all. Hopefully we see her return.

My snake tattoo looks better then the two these guys did just saying.

What is up with Ink Master never showing Tommy's work. He is the best they had.

If you want Peck gone , lose his voice also. Don't just half-ass it.

The way Bili Vegas looks like i bet he smells like 1999

Why do we never see the other judge in these compilations? There are three right?

The fake emotion brings this show down...I'm fighting blah blah lol its a show I'm just being dickish

I really like that fruit tattoo, I would wear that.

Did Oliver Peck ask to not be shown? In every video, he's an off camera voice.

Ryan’s hat…

Emily always got under my skin. Something about her rubbed me the wrong way...😠

The big problem with this show, is that the judges will set a challenge, but then the canvases will want something entirely different. What are you meant to do? Ignore the canvas's requests?

I dont see the issue with the eye of the tiger

The fruit was way better than the muddled looking leopard

I dunno- I liked the big fruit
