Ink Master’s Best (& Worst) Mechanical Tattoos 🤖 

m u r i c a

Technically 🇵🇷 is still considered murica

@@calvinvang4749 Mexico, Chile, Venezuela and all America is considered America

@@EnricoBM "murica" stands for the USA not north or south America, thus PR is part of murica

More Texas to me

Yeah he just said "look I trust what stayce can do, she doesn't need someone else to make something good, this motherfucker can't do a straight line"

They kicked the girls off way too fast. Even if under pressure in a competition they get nervous, so do the guys. A lot of the girls over all the seasons could wash away the dudes. Just saying 🤷🏻 it's a male dominant career, the females never get enough credit ever. My best tattoos over half my body were done by female artists. Just my opinion of course, no negativity please

@@RenGray54 no you're absolutely right, they seem to have bias towards the men and are sometimes kinda sexist. From small comments like "this tattoo isn't feminine enough for your canvas", to "those colors (purple, pink), probably done by one of the girls" (it was done by a guy), to always choosing the women to leave instead of the men. idk what season but in one of them, one guy always had one of the worst tattoos, like multiple times in a row, but they still chose the women to leave, even if their tattoo had better anatomy, coloring etc.

@@jvckiwai7715 There's actually never been a female winner.

@@DeathBatBabe97 yeah Ryan won I forgot what season it was but she was the first and only girl that has won ink master😎😌

you felt wholesome hearing someone else get a compliment on tv

@@ericlebar7035 some people grew up without validation, eric

@@Ickymunches what does that mean exactly

@@ericlebar7035 that means that cleen saying "you did good kid" was really nice to hear, especially if you grew up not hearing that. Doesnt matter if its random people on reality tv. Its still nice

@@Ickymunches ahh ok yea it was nice to hear

One thing i dont like about the show is when they pick apart one thing on a tattoo but not others

100 %agree

Yeah, that part was straight bull shit. Makes you wonder how much of these reality shows are scripted.

I literally yelled bullshit at that call

I know, the line work by Austin was awful in comparison and that alone for longevity has him out

SHE’S bad tho 😅😂

@@prettyboiiroca whats more annoying, she kept trying to pick apart tattoos from the better artists. Even Cleen lol

she's bad the whole season

Ya she did she even said she liked the canvas. Honestly whoever she was tatooing is 100% at fault for not saying something and probably wanted money from the show.

She dropped out of art school. She doesn’t know how to draw on paper and decided to butcher people w her bad artistry.

Austin's was so flat in the chin as well. The judges messed up, they always lean to more 'masuline' tattoos unless they are being sexist and mad that it's on a chick but not feminine

@@lulusinner Right? This show can be so sexist sometimes. One critique I've seen frequently is "This isn't feminine and pretty for your female canvas" but what makes them think that all women want that? Also her critique made no sense, they didn't like how perfect the teeth were??? That was so scripted

G M i honestly thought it was bad idk what y’all talking I wouldn’t want that shit on me I thought the guys was cool

i swear, if the artists were switched and if stacy had done austin’s instead, they would’ve still sent stacy home

They both looked super stupid but id prob rather get the guys too

Hers was so much cooler. Nunes was right, Austin's look alien helmet. Stacy's looks like biomech. And it was nice.

I doubt they even decide based on the actual quality of a tattoo. Most probably the show just runs on who makes the best drama.

I agree. Not only does art judging always include some amount of subjectivity, but no matter how fair the judges intend to be, they are always going to be making certain decisions influenced by how they personally like the artist.

Stacy made a colorful bird skull on biomech day lmao

Austins didn't even wrap around. It looked like a flat plate strapped to on side of the jaw and the claw shaped things felt like they didnt curve and just stuck out the right side of the head. While stacy wasn't the strongest, I still think austin should have went home that day. Like any reality TV they really just kept him there for drama. Also back in that episode, Im pretty sure austin literally just kept calling people over to help him every 20 seconds cause he couldnt think for himself

Shit was badass for real

Yeah Dave bases his judging on the overall aesthetic of the tattoo rather than nitpicking lines and technique all day like the other judges do

@@kelsey2333 Dave is not a tattoo artists, so he is more inclined to look for things like someone would look to get a tattoo, the others (not saying that they are always right) have been done this for decades, so they look for mistakes they problably commited in the past.

I would wear that kinda tattoo but with BattleTech Mech in that style. Jeesus kinda makes want to get my first tattoo.

@@Likosak then go for it!

I hated that too like why would you want a custom motorcycle tattoo and not bring a picture of bike for reference

@@mikeadler2755 Yeah like If I want a custom tattoo with my dogs paw I bring a picture if his paw

No one in that season derserve to be called artist, they can't draw anything, i thought you should be able to draw to be an artist, otherwise anyone can build tattoo machine and do it.

i agree, but to be fair, isnt it an artists duty to make sure the piece is correct in whatever its a reference too? Yeah she wanted a custom bike, but she should have at least matched it correctly to a reference of a similar model to make sure the mechanics were correct. itd be the same if she were tattooing an animal, youd want it to anatomically be correct

I'm looking at pictures of choppers and I honestly can't tell what's wrong with it! Like yeah the area behind the headlight is super vague but is it just that she left out the part of the frame the gas tank sits on? It's just really hard to tell what's going on with it and maybe that was part of the issue.

Yeah with a rubric Stacy would have won by a long shot (like she should’ve)

So true. Sometimes it seems completely arbitrary

I agree with you, but it all boils down to the fact that art is subjective. There would be times that a truly amazing piece had to lose because of 1 specific parameter being more heavily weighted that week. Winning or losing based on a technicality would suck, and not fit the show. They have already given people passes on tats that didnt meet judging criteria that week.

That wouldn't be arbitrary enough for them, i suppose

They're pretty easy to follow. Biomech, consistent lines and design. It's a tattoo not rocket science.

Yupp

he would die early like the music lover in tombstone..

I would cast Kleen as a henchman. He'd be the guy that tries to take over the gang. In all seriousness, the guy could probably handle some acting. He's certainly cocky enough.

@@devodavis6747 he's too dumb to take over the gang or wanna..but he's loyal/and/or too loyal

@@JZilla69 yall pitching a red dead redemption movie😂😂

the other one had the vibes of a spooky amusement park ride in the 70s, stacy’s definitely looked more modern biomech-y, plus was way easier on the eyes while having a lot of depth to it despite being a warped skull. the warping was probably the classic “forgetting to flip the canvas” thing too

Stacy’s had almost a bit of a glow to it with those touches of green.

Yeah thats what i was thinking too

I was thinking the same thing. Like Stacy did a decent tattoo basically on her own while the other dude did a meh tattoo with the help of the entire team

Cleen should have been the judge. He makes better judgement than the judge panel. Picked a tattoo with wonky lines over a clean one 🙄 biased and favouritism

@@yumyumlolly The judges are way shittier and more harsh to the women artists. Its ridiculous.

@@abbyb6958 it’s not about decent on your own it’s about amazing

Did he do the Guyver for the Tattoo?

Right! 😠😤

I get the impression that someone behind the scenes determined the winner/loser at times, trying to make sure there was plenty of continuous drama since the show was, at the end of the day, a reality TV show. The judges' critiques & decisions didn't always make sense, otherwise. Definitely screwed some people over for the sake of ratings.

Bro wdym it looks so boring and out of place at the same time, biomech doesn't mean dissaster

@@kh0de One man’s art piece is another man’s toilet paper, man. Leave it at that.

Her piece was great, man

I think so too, I liked her' tattoo so much better.

my jaw dropped

There was no mech in that tattoo tho! Point out the mech in it. It's just a skull in some background. There's no mechanical parts in their at all... Wait I'm talking about the tattoo people before that haha. Sorry! I edited this comment to reflect that haha

There’s a different between what u like and what’s fucking right.

@@williamo6569 But she had more mech and lines than the guy by far

agreed

His looked like a y2k flash tattoo and hers looked modern and clean

it is a good tattoo.. bt it doesn't make sense

Totally agree

I think the judges make choices based on who they personally like and who they don’t.

Everyone is saying the same thing and idk if I just don’t know what I’m talking about, but the other guys just looks more visually appealing to me.

@Kimbo Slice art is subjective of course so that’s fair but I personally think her color palette was way better lol

If I’m honest I feel like the other one is better.

Their tattoos were stupid. Nothing mech, nothing cyborg. Red skull on red background. Very dumb design.

@@vohiii like i said they didnt do what they were suppose too but still badass tattoo artists.

they totally mised the point, but yeah, it looks beautiful. Pretty sure they can do and awesome tattoo for some other theme.

I love Kelly, but Nikki was way out of her comfort zone and they dropped the ball completely on challenge topic. Like the guy that had no contrast in a contrast challenge.

No they literally aren’t

Same

WAIT THEY DID NOT SERIOUSLY GIVE CLEAN THE WIN ON THAT CHALLENGE.

@@lokoforjustinbieber yeah 5c0..i cindov agree more star's would of been awesome but cleen does do clean work...

Yeah i know...but i think they were looking at execution of the the task...the others unfortunately didn't make the challenge and that's what saved him....

Captain America has one star..

@@jopan1363 yeah awesome....so right....lol

He probably would compliment Agent 007 for being so good at his Job after he ruined his plan.

Never thought of that But now I cant unsee it😂👍

I see him as more of the villains main body guard. Named.. Krüev.

Best cleen comment on the web

Cleens dead playa. Only role he is playing is in the sky

The canvases literally fill out forms where they put what styles they like and things they're not interested in, and them they have to sign a waiver that says they accept the fact that they may walk out with a tattoo they don't like or want. So when the canvas is in the shop, they're supposed to mostly be down for whatever the artist brings them. That said, of I had a time limit and $100k on the line, you better believe having to draw a whole new second design while the clock is running and everyone else is tattooing would test my nerves. You also have to remember that they edit the shit out of this show, and a lot of the reactions you see aren't actually their reaction to the current situation. It's a reality show, they're gonna edit it to crank up the drama regardless of how accurately the situation is portrayed.

"Just the background"

His face said it tho

It's alright but yes the color of Stacy's tat is superior.

Only with Peck..or forgetaboutit

They probably saving the idea for the future and hoping they get enough Ink Masters

These are all old...Ink master is over

@@jopan1363 I noticed that Peck’s voice was being used, but you never saw his face 😭

And the runner ups as well

As urueyuww we

Yeah the judge was complaining about only one wing but failed to realize that the skull was decaying from left to right.

@@mrpotat680 the issue was it didnt follow the rule of contrast they were going for, as well as it not really being neo traditional, another aspect of the challenge.

That Tattoo would turn into a black smudge in a year because the artist left waaay to little skin. Also while the concept is cool, the execution was bad, the proportions were off and everything was just too dark, stand 5 feet away from it and nothing would be recognizable in the tattoo

I was looking for a comment about that! That tattoo was sick af. So so cool

4 seasons

He deserves it though

The tattoo turned out horrible but to be fair, the canvas should've also brought in an actual reference of her motorcycle since she wanted it to look specifically like hers instead of making Ashley find a picture online, or spoken up when she didn't like the drawing, especially when her artist doesn't know about motorcycles.

But didn't she show the canvas the drawing, the canvas approved and then later pointed out something that was wrong with the drawing... while she had already started tattooing

I ride sport bikes but dam I know how a bike needs to look, whether it's a chopper, naked, or dirt bike. That lady should have seen those lines from the sketch before it even went on her skin.

@@JaydaHeartTV especially when she talked about the customization she had and the artist is supposed to know what all of that meant

Ashley told her straight out that she had no experience with bikes. It then falls to the cavasbto quality controll the bike anatomy. Especially with all the custom work that was on the one she wanted. She didn’t even bring in a reference photo.

which episode is it?

Inkmaster running to edit this video and get rid of him 😂

What is the reason that they edit him out?

@@bon3t974 fragile gen z.

@@bon3t974 it has sth to do with him doing blackface a couple of years ago. If you look up "ink master peck blackface", you should get more information

@@decyfer5302 blackface is pretty serious not just “fragile gen z

How he made it so far I will never know

Fragile masculinity at its finest

He was very gentle with it, but I think he was maybe a little embarrassed lol

I thought it was directed towards Stacy

I'm pretty sure they get breaks when it's longer than a certain period of time. The show just wants you to think the artists and canvases are straight tattooing for like 7-13 hours etc in one go. Passed contestants/canvases have said the time limits aren't real and the artists can have more time if they're not finished in such time frame. Its just for drama and to make the audience feel the tension and worry that time will run out before they're finished and be potentially eliminated. Like when they edit that the judges are standing there watching the entire time when they really come in for 5 min to do a walk around, film all their "you have x amount of time left" footage all at once and leave again lol

Breaks can make it hurt more. Sure you may need to use the bathroom and grab a drink, but having breaks in between tattooing can cause the skin to swell and is therefore more painfull. These people are probably also used to large tattoos

probably drama. its not uncommon for talent shows to add people of varying skill levels. it gives them a few sure scapegoats they can use to show off bad quality. its kind of human nature to gawk at bad things and they know it, for better or worse.

ryan ashley? she has some of the best black and grey tattoos i’ve seen

@@Nutmeg916 she meant her 0:58

Yeah when the have people who have only been tattooing for 2 years on the show seems really horrible to whoever gets them as an artist

@@Nutmeg916 she said Ashley not Ryan.

Pretty sure she’s tall. But it could be a bit of both

I literally said the same thing 😂

She also wears massive heels

Both are true. She is a tall person, he is lower average. And she LOVES a heel , good ol' Ryan

They did that a few days ago, I even got a notification, but they made it unavailable in the US 😒

They do, it's just not in this channel

i immediately read it as the flag of puerto rico, with the one blue triangle star and thick red stripes. It doesnt read as America very well.

@@bechorahaguoru1757 You are 100% right. I had to pause it for a sec. It also a little looks like the texas flag in passing

He ruined it with “‘ ‘merica”🙄

I agree but cleen seems to be a well grounded guy....his work is quite tidy....and he does take pride in trying to do a good job no matter what is thrown his way....

I really hope they bring him and the other finalists from last season into the new one. I want to see more from all of them.

@@usagi32211 exactly !! angel and jimmy are really good too

@@usagi32211 ummm ink master was canceled so unfortunately not possible

@@gabrielacchaves They just announced new seasons

@@gabrielacchaves on 2/24 it was announced it’s gonna be revived on Paramount+

They removed Oliver after the black face pics came out. You still hear him but never see him

@@jeninewhitehawk786 what do You mean? What happen

@@lemp790 Pictures of Oliver Peck surfaced. He was wearing black face for Halloween costume. It was a big scandal and he was cut out of all Ink master clips. They left in his voice but you never see him in any episodes.

@@jeninewhitehawk786 They are doing the same thing with Daniel Silva from Season 10 because he is in prison because he murdered somebody

I have not an artistic bone in my body, but from watching the show I notice they constantly tell the artist that "its your job to talk the canvas into doing what you want", which is total BS to me because, as you say, the people ultimately choose what they want and don't want. However, as a professional tattoo artist I think they owe their customers the best they can give, which includes advice from their experience. Rib and feet tattoos hurt, you don't want your first one there. Face tattoos are a 100% no go for a first tattoo. Sharknado, while an awesomely terrible sci-fi movie, should probably not be a tattoo. Putting these two styles together is a bad idea. Getting a Tweety bird on your butt at 20 is fine, but when you hit 40, it's going to be Big Bird instead! Etc Etc.

Picasso's biggest problem was time. He's a great artist, but his tattoos required more time than the competition allowed.

Yeah he was hampered by the time limit unfortunately. Thankfully that’s not an issue in the studio. I would looove to get a tattoo from him.

His art was levels above the competition.

He wears the hell out of those tank tops..

No

Yeah, her name is Megan Jean...

@@daisyquinonez-allwood8346 it’s like they were made for him tbh🥰

I am crazy attracted to Anthony 🥰😍😈
