Canvases Brought To Tears 😢 Ink Master 

I think it's part because everyone has their own story (if you're accustomed to pain for some reason or if you've learned to hide it) and their own body (and so everyone have different skin and nerve) and that why we have different pain tolerance. We never are in other people body. And even your own body can react different in similar place (my last one is a symetric centered one in my back and my pain on the left of my back was different than the one on the right)

@Kaganari and how are you supposed to know until you’re actually getting one done?? First tattoos aside, every artist is different, every location is different, etc etc so what? You’re supposed to magically know how it’s going to go?

@@xpiscean3162 professionals suggest repeatedly stabbing yourself with a needle before getting your first tattoo. If you don't have needles you can also use razors, rusty nails or the teeth of your local feral raccoon. Works like charm!

Well the lady getting a cover up… she must’ve already knew what the pain was going to feel like. When you know you can’t really handle sitting through it that long, you should decide on something simple/smaller.

@@lindsay8003 but artists can tattoo in different ways, some are gentle, some have really heavy hands

They signed up for it. They lose money every second that they don't tattoo.

@@mikehaley9130 and your point is ? You're just proving the OP's point by saying that these tattooists are so money hungry that they don't even have basic human compassion . If they gave that cheetah girl just a few quick 10 seconds break in between when she asked rather than literally holding her down and tattooing with bad techniques 4 at a time, she would've sat through

@@mikehaley9130 yea and being a tattoo artist you are permanently needling something into someone's body and causing immense pain for some. It is the artist's job and responsibility to manage the pain response and mental state of their clients. It's bs to think the person literally getting paid to hurt you isn't supposed to care for you whilst they do so.

They're in a competition - it tends to bring out the worst in people.

@@CedarMountainsnow depending on the artist's techniques they absolutely could have been injuring her. it looked to me like a couple of them were pushing way too deep. when your job involves making a permanent change to someones body, if the individual you're tattooing is in immense pain, it is your responsibility as an artist to reassure and help them, and listen to feedback. that is how trust is built. seeing the way these artists performed, i doubt most people would trust them at all.

Canvases chose to be there. They were not dragged.

@@fu6555 they didn’t anticipate being forced to keep being tattooed, she took away her consent and they kept forcing her to stay. They all should’ve been kicked off the show,

@@fu6555 You did not just blame someone for having a panic attack and going into shock against their control. Are you serious?? Tattoos are PAINFUL to get normally, but 4 people at the same time over a large span of the body for 6 hours would be enough to push ANYONE over the edge. Show a little class, she’s a human being who feels pain, not an object.

@@Trigger__Happy Yes, you are right. But in this case they have a contract and it specifies what they are gonna get and se signed. That doesn’t mean the crusty dusty Chris should have reacted that way, he was a prick.

In terms of ease for the artists, using Lower limbs means that when they need to pull skin, there won't be too much movement

Ya if they stopped let her drink some water and didn't cross her boundaries she wouldn't have had a panic attack and blacked out but knowing the main artist on that tatto that man doesn't respect anyone mostly women (he git jailed for trying to kill (he strangled) his own daughter 2 times)

Totally agreed. She essentially had 4 people, 3 of them men, holding her down and continuing to touch her and cause her pain after she asked them to stop. I too would have a panic attack.

Yes!!! She felt pinned down and went into full panic attack

Dude, that was so f'd up... I would've flipped out.

One of the artists did an interview and said the girl said she could handle 3 hours and they tried to get it done as fast as possible and they did give her several breaks.

Fr, he's the only one that seems to have any empathy

We love James the paramedic.

@@milkshake5569 amen

LMAO. He was arrested for grabbing his teen daughter by the throat! Takes a real strong man to strangle a little girl. SMDH

@@DD-d6d3 o wow ,when did that happened??? he looks like he's a loose cannon

@@Jess1234 just based on a google search it looks like it happened in 2017

I know right lmao

@@DD-d6d3 yea, id expect that. seems liek the type who thinks hes the best cuz he holds a gun

As someone who has multiple tattoos sitting through a 4 hour tattoo can be brutal but in four different spots it’s insane the judges shouldn’t have made it a challenge

Its the show's producers that did that to her, not the artists.

Nobody forced her to sign up. It was her stupid decision to get tattooed by 4 people when she admitted that she is prone to panic attacks. She needs to be held accountable for her decision.

@@InGodITrust333bad take, plus, you’re not even using that phrase right

@@InGodITrust333 And the show also needs to be held accountable.

True

They aren't clients. They are volunteers. They volunteered to sit for a 6 hour piece and they knew the entire situation before volunteering. I don't have sympathy for the ones getting normal tattoos done that are acting like they're being tortured. The girl who was getting the cheetah pattern I have sympathy for. That was just a terrible call by the producers and it went bad. The rest need just shut up, sit down and let the artist work. It's what they volunteered to do so do it. Yes, I have multiple tattoos and yes I have quite a few painful spots done.

Man they ain’t clients, they getting the shit for free.

@@jadencandelario7880 doesn’t mean they gotta allow being used as verbal punching bags

@@eochtroph9156 yeah you can say what you want about the clients, but the artist are the ones working extremely hard to give you there best work consistently, they take the time and the effort always, it goes both ways man.

@@bonkkus I think she almost passed out in the hallway if I remember the episode correctly; the EMT caught her against the wall. That could have been a different one, though

I totally agree, I hate the things they were saying. That "She tapped out" no, asshat, the medic called that shot, you sent her into shock and expected her to continue being a canvas? That's not tapping out, that's a medical emergency...

literally like maybe move to the different spot then go back if shes saying its too much to handle no lets continue and push her into a panic attack

Same!!! My mom is currently at her mastectomy tattoo appnt right now. That hit me right in the feels

@@doreenhemming3516 I hope her tattoo turns out awesome! I can't imagine what she has been through and I'm sending hugs and support!

@@doreenhemming3516my mother was just diagnosed yesterday!!! They caught it very early . She had a biopsy because they caught it with a mammogram. They just called her and told her results yesterday.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis. I'm glad they caught it early!!!!!!! That's fantastic news. My mom's was missed on a mammogram because she has dense breast tissue, so she actually found the lump herself. It was a scary journey but my mom is amazing now and has a gorgeous tattoo. I wish so much strength and love to your mom AND you!!! It's hard watching a parent go through cancer treatment. Please try to take care of your emotions and needs. Cry when you need to! 💜💜💜

@@doreenhemming3516 Thank you. We are waiting to see what the plan of action is. Im praying this goes as quickly and as easy on her as possible

At least the mom and daughter liked it😅

I wonder how it healed, I might be much better in the end

That shit was hilarious, he really did her dirty lmao he could’ve like skipped some just to do her a favor😂

I feel like he did it out of spite and annoyance at who he had to tattoo

She looked like a raisin lol

The longest tattoo I had done was 7 hours, and I spread that out over two days, not sure i could have done it in one sitting

Agreed. I did one 6hr session. I was ok but naturally the arm was shaking. But having four at the same time with large coverage. She did four hours. She did amazing. She tried her best. Also due to time constraits bet they were heavy like hell.

My first tattoo was eight hours and although it was perfectly fine I don’t know how I would have handled having another person on me let alone three

@@wolfeblister2503 I agree. One person is bad enough. It is the body natural reaction to the trauma. But for me if u have four people. They got to be well light handed thats possible. They looked like they were well hard because they got finish by six hours. Not spread over sessions u normally would do

6 hours is bad and long for that amount of pain without painkillers, I started seeing stars in 3 hours when I was getting my sleeve done.

Also how the dude in the overalls was just annoyed by her little panic attack

They tattooed a huge area too. No wonder she had a panic attack!!

I think she was probably in shock.

I can’t believe some people defend the show or tattooists and say she chose to be on the show or allowed the design. She didn’t anticipate what happened.

Yea I can't imagine getting tattooed by 4 people at once

Yea I wouldn’t have made it that far

That challenge was just barbaric. I felt bad for all of them, but she suffered the most.

@@joanneking170 It looked like she had a panic attack from the pain which most times people just cry and leave but she honestly was tortured

@@shyeliza9564 The group didn't even really give her a break until it was too late. They could have also talked the canvas through it like other artists did in the video. She must have felt trapped and alone through that whole entire process. When our body goes into fight-or-flight from so much pain like that, we genuinely fear our life is in danger. It must have been terrible going through 4 hours of that emotional and physical torture. I hope she is healed and doing well.

Just watching her break down and hold herself couldn't have been something she wanted to put on tv

I mean they are not being professional here, they are being competitive. I think they act different here than how they act in their shops

@@sunmal1599 Are people who are unprofessional under pressure really someone who you can respect?

@@tastx3142 Well yea since every single human being with no exception will become unprofessional with enough pressure

@@tastx3142 I detest Cleen. He’s so rude and rough with clients. It’s awful that he won. He clearly had the worst tattoo many times and they let him skate while eliminating others for better tattoos. There’s no way I’d have voted him to win because of his shitty attitude and if he were the best artist on the planet there’s no way I’d let him tattoo me even for free but you know he charges asshole prices!

they wont die from a tattoo. they brought themselves on the show no1 forced them. if they handle pain poorly why enter yourself in the show ??

Exactly! And then they complain that the client can’t take it like no dude you are going like a jackhammer into their skin

Is this true? I feel like some artists I've had have hurt 10x more than others but I dont know if it's just the spot getting tattooed or my weird nerves or something. I'm not an artist so I dont know. 🤷‍♀️

@@minicat3640 A combination of things. Pain tolerance, the placement, the size and details, and how hard the artist draw on the skin. Getting a tattoo in General hurts in general, but the level of pain is different. I got two tattoo from the same artist. First one was on hey shoulders and it hurt like hell for the first hour. I got another one on my arm and it still hurts, but only for like 2-3 minutes.

@@minicat3640 my one tattoo hurt because of the shading that had to go into it and my placement

@@minicat3640 I had one hurt because of shading. One on my ankle I slept through. And one on my upper arm that was excruciating because the artist was pushing so hard. It’s been less than a year and the thing is already spreading/bleeding into illegibility. It’s a simple mostly outline tattoo of a palm tree. No colors and the lines aren’t even straight. He was recommended as great and his book looked good. We gave him a general idea and let him design it. No idea what happened. He left the room every 10 minutes for a “cigarette” break. I suspect it wasn’t cigs he was smoking. My son got the same tattoo with me and his is not only equally bad, it’s not the same as mine which was the goal.

she chose to do it. she signed up for it.

@@randomduckling444 She signed up to get a tattoo. She didn’t sign up to get tattooed by heavy handed tattoo artists who thought it was a good idea to “cover as much skin as possible” when she was getting tattooed by 4 people at the same time in 6 hours.

It’s heartbreaking but I don’t think she was mentally prepared for it. Nobody should do 4 spots at the same time

Tbf she knew what she signed up for and she knew she was prone to anxiety attacks and blackouts so she set herself up for it. Not to be insensitive but its her fault that happened bc she went into blindly and almost like a child would without reading the full thing and understanding it

The way Chris reacted to her panic attack was completely inappropriate. I get he’s a tough marine and all that, but panic attacks aren’t a joking matter. The way he crudely imitated her breathing problems was entirely immature and insensitive on his part. Poor girl was being tortured.

Wait what happened?

@@pilldave1736 the canvas couldnt handle being tattooed on different parts at the same time, chris mocks her saying that he was a marine man blah blah blah lmao

Agree however should have of show it to see how bad the experience was

I have some tattoos myself and it does hurt. The cheetah girl got so much coverage, on different parts at the same time. And they tattooed her really hard. I don't think anyone would have a good time getting that tattoo. It should be over maybe 3-5 different sessions.

I agree i hate him for treating her like that

She went back to Matty and he did the other side. It was beautiful

@@zoeycollins4067 where did you find this? Cause I can't find anything about it.

As a breast cancer survivor, in need of tattoos, I understand

The tattoo artist's instagram

I cry every time I watch that scene. My first tattoo was a different scar cover up, but there's such an amazing confidence boost, such joy and happiness from something negative to you becoming such a positive, and I imagine it's only magnified by her circumstances/the meaning of the scar and tattoo

Matty is a sweetheart 💜

wait how yk she went back?? i wanna see thag

@@veronicamedrano8743 She came back on the show (or one of the spin-offs) and interviewed with Dave Navarro about it. I'm not sure where you can find a clip but there might be something on Google or reddit about it

they definetly did! It is clear she was trying her best to endure it but their comments and the awful pain she was feeling completely broke her. It is hard to watch.

It’s not even cheetah print it’s Leopard

@@salomebl5581 I mean their print is almost the same but I thought the reference was a cheetah

No, it's because of numbness as well

I hear a lot of women who get fake breasts lose feeling in them.

Even better news was that she was so happy with the tattoo Matty gave her that she later went back to him to get the other side done.

@@off.arretezvousx That's so sweet to hear, he did such an amazing job and really displayed such humanity and understanding.

I think he just doesn't take shit from people who expect something easy in a national competition. Edit: wrong Chris, oops.

Chris who?

@@theunderratedauthor2750 Blinston. The one who wears overalls

@@hannahlaubacker7686 oh okay

while in reality, he knows exactly 1 kind of hardship. certainly an impressive one, but one you wanted to experience usually. unless you get drafted and are forced to experience something you didn't want to experience or you're literally forced to fight off invaders at your national border. apart from that and in this day and age, almost everyone who joins the army wants to join the army. and a good percentage of these people want to experience war. i could easily have seen myself being excited by the thought of going down that route as a young man if I was an american. so, in my book, you're only doing what you want to do. and I don't see how I should respect you more for that than anyone else who does what he or she wants to do. same goes for fire- and policemen. and especially doctors, since they usually haven't only been genetically blessed but also monetarily and in the way the were allowed to grow up. that said, how about handling some real suffering. colon cancer and a stoma for the rest of one's life. chronic neurological pain conditions not even opioids can get a handle on. on top of that add some family tragedy and a good portion of severe suicidal depression for a lifetime. maybe some horrifying and debilitating schizophrenia. or how about an accident that leaves one in a paraplegic state with no hope of recovering. no muscles anymore, no way to portray the tough man image. then let me see how tall you manage to stand and more importantly for how long. I obviously don't wish him any these things. i don't wish these things on anybody. I just wanna show that people usually don't understand how fast everything can turn into an inescapable nightmare. some people experience suffering a good portion of humanity cannot even imagine. without any hope of finding an exit. a nightmare you never wake up from again. at least not in this lifetime. people always think they're tough. it's usually the people who don't know how deep misery and despair can go. it goes deeper than joy and love can ever go high. love prevailing over evil and suffering only happens in disney movies. in reality, there's not even a competition.

The canvases know what they’re getting into

@@jessicalynn1242 If u have never had a tattoo b4... u have NO idea what ur getting into!

Its literally 20 hours worth of tattooing in 6 hours while multiple people are holding you down. Even of she agreed to it the producers NEVER should have even made that a challenge it's so reckless and abusive

@@jessicalynn1242 Girl really, know they don’t all they know is there getting tattooed by people not 4 Deep knifes going across there skin

they're literally getting a free tattoo and signed up for that session she knew she would be tattooed by four different people does it suck well ya its not suppose to be pleasant dont sign up for something you cant handle I've been tattooed in one of the more painful spots 11 hours first session and 8 in half hours second session did it suck yes but i sucked it up and stayed still for my artist because I signed up for it. it wasn't her first tattoo she had other tattoos that they pointed out to her.

Yup, I got 2 small quote tattoos and this is the best description I’ve been, a burning skin peeling sensation. She was a boss for tolerating what she did .

I recently got another tattoo after 2 years since I got my first one. The shading feels exactly like you described. Feels like your skin is being peeled apart. I completely forgot how painful it can be!

It was an EMT

And the way the artists treat them like an actual canvas rather than the human being that they are, ugh.

In the french dub (I’m french) they say “models” like in a fashion show or in photography. I got a bit surprised by the way they call them canvas in English

@@lysfranc8782enfin un fr qui regarde ink master 😭

Client not canvas

I noticed that my legs especially get super twitchy at points during a tattoo. I always feel so awful about it, luckily all my artists have been super nice about it and understand I can't control it, but I would feel so awful if I heard an artist talking about me the way some of these guys do about the cavases!

just dont be a bitch , its just pain innit

@@Khalid_XMC Dumbest and most immature answer ever.

@@SleepingCreatures its just pain innit .

@@Khalid_XMC ...Pain hurts. That's the point of pain.

I would walk out before it started

Honestly! I don't understand how the producers or even the judges can say they know anything about tattooing while also doing something so utterly irresponsible and dangerous. I get that the canvases sign up to be tattooed but damn.

She may have taken pain well too 😬😬 we couldn’t even know because they full on tortured her.

@@Danny-be1ex yea honestly that insane to have 4 people tattooing at once. What makes it even worse is that they’re on a time limit as well so like you said they’re just hammering her skin to make sure they get done in time. The back of the thigh I’m sure hurts by itself because of how tender it is back there and to add 3 other areas on top of that at the same time is modern day torture lol.

4 people tattoo someone at the same time was bad idea from the start

Yeah it’s baffles me when you go to the comments and if any canvas experiences pain during their tattoo it’s the whole “they signed up for it, they should’ve known” like what? Tell me you’ve never gotten a tattoo without telling me you’ve never gotten a tattoo.

Thank you for saying this

"I can't do colour, I'm a black and grey artist"

@@emsomatic4044 this

@@emsomatic4044 Sounds like Ryan but even then she could still do colour it just wasn't her prefrence

These people need to remember that their canvas’ are people

Not to mention the artist to a degree are in control of the level of pain they experience so if they're canvas is struggling maybe it's time for some reflection

Me too. My father is one. I’ve watched him go through it twice, with a different form each time.

Cool

It was a panic attack and my heart will always goes out to her. She did not deserve it

I personally sit SOOOO much better when my artist isn't heavy handed.

@@humanperson3960 yes she didn’t, I would have felt like I was just being attacked, it’s different if your just getting tattooed by one person but four? And some are almost in front of your face

The back of the knees hurt ALOT to tattoo as well. Poor canvas was really in pain

Mine was heavy handed and my tattoo was raised for a good few months after it was done.

Dr eggman on steroids

With the same emotional control

To me he looks like some kind of Mario character. Like Wario.

I lost my 6 yr old daughter to cancer .

@@ms.artichokecheesepizzawst3239 I am so sorry for your lost.

Unfortunately as far as it goes until there's a better way to deal with it. Breast cancer will remain

It really is awful. I’ve been lucky enough not to have gone through cancer and I’m lucky that no one I’m close to has gone through it, aside from my grandmother having a small operation because of pre-cancer. I can only imagine how awful cancer of any kind must be to go through. I have a chronic pain disorder so I do know what pain is like, but cancer is a whole a different animal. I really hope one day we can figure some way to either treat cancer more effectively or completely irradiate it. I know that’s not going to be in the cards for long time, but even if I’m not here to see it, I hope that one day cancer will be a thing of the past.

Agreed! And I remember the canvas jury for this episode… they made the grandma CRY with their criticism. Poor woman. She loved it and everyone was way too harsh.

The season with Kelly, Nikki and Ryan was the best by far. No toxic bullshit, and they pushed each other to do the best tattoos. I look back at some of the earliest Ink Master seasons and the tattoos look terrible compared to now.

@@TheFreakonthenet Whole heartedly agree! Loved seeing that over a bunch of fragile tattooed men cat fighting.

@@TheFreakonthenet even that season though the boys of that seasons egos were so fragile some of them really couldn't Handel the girls winning

SAME HERE. I swear, the toxic masculinity in this show seeps into EVERYTHING, right down to the judges. Like, critiquing someone for not giving a lady a tattoo that's "feminine enough." smfh

Exactly, I have one of my wrist and in have two paw prints which is attached to my wrist tattoo and they're coloured black. I was dreading the shading and colouring but I didn't feel a thing other then some pressure that just felt like someone was pushing into my skin with their finger. He was so gentle handed

Thank you!

That was I was thinking too. You can see a picture hanged on a lamp while they are tattooing her and it looks like a jaguar too. I don't get it they couldn't find a cheetah on google image ?! lol.

@@Em-fz5uh It's literally an African Leopard. I found the picture on google haha.

@@Em-fz5uh No, the picture they have is definitely a leopard. You can tell by the rosettes and the build. It's different from a jaguar’s large rosettes with spots inside them. But yeah, those were definitely not cheetah prints, lol

Lmao I've been addicted for the last 3 months

I don't agree on this, but it is only my little, personal expérience. When I begun tattooing I practiced on my own knee/shin. Instead of beginning with a small girly thing on my ankle, I désignéd a palm size Black bold thing that turned out à whole hot mess,with a little scar tissue, blow outs and everyting. One day, when it was properly healed and I was more comfortable with tattooing, I decided not really to cover it up, but to redo the shaky lunes and properly fill the Black spots that were faded. It did not Hurt at all, used very low power and short needle throw. The big hot mess is now à very lovely tattoo that I chérish in à special way, because it is my first one.

I gotta say it’s great to see this comment after I just made an appointment to get this botched* angel wing covered with a rose right In the crease of where my arm bends. Now I really can’t wait to get this covered 🤦‍♂️

@@troyperry411 good luck and don't worry! Your tattoo artist will know what's Best for you!

@@troyperry411 I just got a full back piece to cover up my old tattoo and it really wasn't too bad until she went over the super raised scar tissue. My old tattoo was beat to hell though- it was super raised. If yours isn't raised I bet it won't be too painful.

I guess it really depends the way the person's tattoo healed. I have a couple of tattoos and one of them is of a medium size. The scar tissue is barely there so when i'll cover it up eventually i don't think it will hurt that much.

I recently had a cover up on my back tattoo and it wasn't bad until she went over the existing scar tissue. The cover up looks killer but going over that super raised scar tissue was probably an 8-10 on the pain scale. The rest of the tattoo wasn't bad at all.

I guess it depends on the scars. I don't know anything about a tattoo coverup, but as someone with 60% burn scars on my body , I have zero feeling left in those scars. I can mistakenly cut myself and not know I did it until I see the blood. On the other hand, you can't really tattoo over that because the ink won't take. Looks great for a little while, then...zip...gone!

I just got a coverup last month. And I can tell you it does hurt but no more then someone that’s REALLY heavy handed. I

👏👏👏👏👏

The fact he mocked her panic attack and thought that was an ok thing to do shows what kind of a person he is. I would absolutely never want to get tattoo’d by someone like that, regardless of how good they are.

Chris who? Sorry I haven’t finished the video.

@@theunderratedauthor2750 you're okay ! chris blinston i want to say

I noticed. They are leopard prints.

Even the reference picture they had was of a leopard. It doesn’t say in the season that she switched for leopard but she might have off camera.

Omg thank you! I don't get how they got them confused!

I don't even think she had a low pain tolerance, she sat for what basically amounts to the pain of sixteen hours of tattooing before she had to leave.

@@casperaaron5530 Yeah, she had other tattoos. Tbh it seems like it's just abuse for anyone. Especially because Chris seems to be heavy handed

She doesn't even have low pain tolerance. Getting a single tattoo already hurts like hell. Imagine being tattooed at four large spots at once and not being able to get a break. I wouldn't even wish this for my worst enemy. This would have been abusive to anyone. She actually handled the pain really well.

thats fucking hilarious 💀

What was he arrested for?

@@dominicanthony9887 Domestic violence. He supposedly beat up his gf. They dropped the charges because the gf wouldn’t testify, which isn’t unusual in those types of cases.

I love that idea, but I’m guessing that showing a gang member tattoo getting covered up might get that person in trouble with that gang. I’ve heard these things need to happen as quietly as possible.

There was a time where the tattoo that a man wanted covered up was a swastika and the words “white power” (Anthony had to do it)

They did an episode on covering up hate tattoos but and I'm pretty sure some of them were ex gang memebers!

i could be wrong, but i actually think there’s a nonprofit that does this!! i want to say it’s called erasing the hate or something, i remember seeing it on yt

@@brimillerxo there are also individual artists who do them for free! I’ve read about quite a few of them. It brings me hope that people can change.

I had that with a dentist for a root canal extraction, ended up walking out halfway through. All I needed was a breather for the pain to ebb away while the anesthesia did its job.

By 4 different people at the same time that’s brutal

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. And it also depends where you get the tattoo.

Same here!

I've dozed on some but some areas made it hard to sit. Like the back of the knee, collar bone, around the nipple, some shin areas, ankle, and some others can be very hard to sit through for alot of people.
