Ink Master’s Biggest Back Tattoos 

This show heavily prioritises drama and ‘entertainment’ over a fair competition showing off artists skill

If it’s too small for a body part this should be obvious for the tattooer, I don’t think saying it’s too small is a problem. You’ve got to make the tattoo fit as best as it can on the skin you have

Well its a little bit their fault in a way because they pushed the canvas too far its possible

Application is judged too. If you can't put the tattoo with minimal pain, don't tattoo

I’m happy for sausage he saw some tiddies

Erin is a genius she is sooooo good

???

You are not wrong

It can be vertical without being completely straight

This show heavily prioritises drama and ‘entertainment’ over a fair competition showing off artists skill

composition could've been modified to fit that better i guess? idk still sucks it wasn't taken into consideration by the judges :/

@@kylelyle4976 unless it is 90 degrees up it is not verical

I think that’s the point lol.

@@theunderratedauthor2750 I swear that they don't even see the final peices and just make up a random statement.

@@josephsolowyk7697 yeah

@@josephsolowyk7697 or they go off of opinion, and not actual mistakes. In some instances (like that horrid “acid cat”) but they’ve bashed good tattoos that I honestly loved, just for critic/ opinion.

haha?

I've been binge watching these, and yeah the judges vary WILDLY between each episode, they'll tear one person's tattoo to shreds and a few episodes later will complement everything that they critiqued on someone else's. Also, there's this werid favoritism thing going on with some contestants and judges.

@@malepatternbaldness. its a bit like the gordan Ramsey situation. People hated how he treated others in hells kitchen but thats because in hells kitchen, the contestants were recognized or self described chefs and he had a point that if your gonna call yourself a chef, you better fucking cook like one. In this case. Some of the artists showed they could pull off certain things and then would just completly neglect them later on and chris specifically is the only one who talks about this. He hates to see them say pull off great shading and then do a crap job later. Hes about consistsncy and thats one of the most important things for an artist.

because half of these judges are dumbfucks 😂

I thought the same thing! It’s much more dynamic to have the horse match the rider somehow.

It was famine, pestilence is another name for conquest.

@@WhaddupDoc yes, sorry. What I meant was, based on different tellings of the 4 horse men, they are either: conquest, war, famine and death or pestilence, war, famine and death. So pestilence is not the same horseman as famine, but is sometimes used instead of conquest.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

😭😭😭😭

Yeah true but at the same time you would wanna know what it is and want a decent drawing of it, idk havent watched yet been surfing the comments so we’ll see when it comes up

@@itsvanilla5360 bruh, the horses and knights transition/fade into the fog. You can see exactly what it is. Smh, the dick riding is impeccable.

What point were you trying to make? Not trying to be rude just curious because I don't see how being tattooed by 4 people backs the opposing statement to people saying artist show no concern for canvases

@@sadiedixson6116 lmao same I'm mad confused

idk understand what you’re getting at, but they do have some people come back and the artist can fix their tattoos for free if the person so chooses.

I think the point this person is trying to make is by pointing out that the show itself is irresponsible by making 4 artist tattoo one single person and expect things to go well. Hence why people saying artist seem to have little concern for their canvases is funny, it's not them it's the show.

@@tyrellbailey2134 how are they a dumbass for asking for clarification? Isn’t that literally how you gain more knowledge? The opposite of a dumbass?

thanks at least I know that it's not my own biased imagination. Pecker is the same. I find Navarro is the most fair and impartial judge.

Absolutely true. This dude kissed cleen's ass every episode but trashed Kyle's work whenever he could. Not saying cleen was shit. But Kyle deserves a lot of appreciation

They need to start this show back up BUT have the judging done blind, best way to have an HONEST critique

@@melrobertson2743 yes

Bro you think he really has final say on who stays or goes? That’s up to the producers and people behind the scenes.

The artists? Seriously? What about those "challenges" where 4 people tatoo on the same person at the same time? It's not the artists fault, lets be honest here

why terrified? chances to get a good tat are not very high, i wouldn't expect more then a fun souvenir...

@@fromoz9294 6 hours of pain and possibly a monstrosity of a hideous tattoo are not tge fun kind of souvenir i want

@@dragonheart1357 im not saying its always the artists fault but still if you are willing to tattoo you need to put something good on a persons body regardless the situation

@@cooolchick647 they volunteered for this, they knew the pain and the risks. And besides, they could walk away whenever they want.

Honestly- it looks a little weird but I can’t see it as backwards. He messed of somewhere definitely but over all great tattoo

@@Dead_Ducky13 if you look at how a wing folds at the wrist the leading edge should be either not seen or towards the outside. both of their tattoos had the leading edge facing the room towards the centre of the spine making the wings look backwards because by anatomy of a wing, you're looking at the inside.

@@whitemoonwolf13 thxs- now that I see it I can’t unsee it lol

@@Dead_Ducky13 XD it was the first thing i noticed. i've been looking up references for wings of various kinds for stories and also tattoo ideas so immediately i was like, damn. they fucked that up.

Why?

@@lordofbaltic7820 just to know what to expect, how the canvas handled the pain, ect.

What did you get?

@@RainyRunningRiver thanks

@@ragnaricstudios5888 I got Scandinavian flowers in solid black straight down my spine. Its a twist on the art my grandparents made and had in their home when they immigrated. Like floral neo-tribal. I drew it all myself! Every flower has a meaning. But its basically solid black shapes and designs. In all honestly it was likely worse pain/placement wiss than anything these people got. The spine was a dumb idea in one sitting! I slept for 13 hours the next day and the healing process was worse than my sleeve or leg. Very happy I did it in one sitting, but it was mentally and physically draining. Packed black on your spine is a new kind of pain! First tat I almost tapped out! My artist allowed gummie bears and I really think that helped me keep my blood sugar up and get through it. Good luck if you're thinking about it! Painful but totally worth it! ✌

I think it’s different when working with one person vs working with multiple. The guys were a team and definitely could’ve pushed and made something better but the girl was on a team with multiple people who all agreed on a style and she was the only one who decided to go do their own thing. In a challenge where it’s supposed to look like 3 different tattoos were made by the same person you can’t just go off and do whatever you want halfway through.

Thats so typically me, oh baby baby

it honestly feels kinda sexist like… you can’t handle a woman being good?? it’s insane i’m not saying it IS sexist it just feels like it but either way it’s stupid no matter the reason

@@LivsLaLaLand I think the reason it feels sexist (even if it isn't in this case) is because Chris Nuñez is notoriously sexist and biased in so many other instances that it's hard to interpret any critique he gives as being genuine.

Why wont they show him?

@@sophiaserrano7297 He has been fired after people found out he did blackface years ago, or that's at least what I understood of it

I agree, but then you couldn't show these clips anymore because he's been so important during the show. This looks very awkward though, I agree with that, it's just thay I wouldn't know a better way to resolve this

I mean, if it was a long time ago and he apologized for it, shouldn't they just move on?

@@sophiaserrano7297 it’s a lot harder to “just move on” from that in the current social climate of the BLM movement plus cancel culture

That’s funny as hell. As much as I’d love a flash challenge based around that, I know they’ll never do it. But that would make for a great sketch or something

YES, also. their critique varies wildly between different people/tattoos and there is obvious favoritism

Oliver peck tattooed a jägermeister logo in season 2 episode 11

@@threemink7 oh yeah the really tiny one? right

@@kylashannon98 exactly

Dude 6 hours on the back is next level. I get that its timed but holy hell its next level painful!!

It differs per artist, some are really nice

Well the clients should be accepting that because they AGREED to be part of this!... it's a competition...if they want it easy just go to a tattoo shop or smth

@@noone8459 They didn't agree to poor bedside matter. Every aspect of tattooing is taken into consideration this competition, including the ability to make your client comfortable when possible. If the artist can't do that, then they aren't doing the competition right.

@@shortcakes3249 Your tattoo artists sole job is to give you a good tattoo, they don't have to baby voice you and whisper motivational speeches in your ear.

the bottom of it was so muddy though, like you couldn't even tell it was wood grain anymore, it just looked like a black twisted mess to me

@@whitemoonwolf13 errr I can kind of see what you're saying, but on my monitor it looks really good lol

I was just thinking how I would love to see a Great British Bake Off equivalent of this show, where everyone is lovely and supportive, and the funny hosts provide comic relief when the pressure gets to the participants. 💅

Oh god yes, the editing on this show is SO shady. I remember an episode where this one girl wins tattoo of the day, and if you look in the corner you can *clearly* see the other girl looking happy for her as the announcement is made, but then in the next shot it shows the happy girl looking all jealous and pissed.

The editing is so horrendous, they do it simply to create drama, one time they had Sarah smiling in the background of someone winning a challenge and then later they added a clip of her looking mad to make it seem as though she was upset. It’s weird tbh

I’ve read from other comments that he did black face many years ago on My Space and the pictures resurfaced which led to him being kicked off the show.

@@SweetNightmares_ Oh! I figured it had to be something like that. It's weird only being able to hear him. Thanks for the answer.

He did blackface so they're distancing themselves from him...

@@marcherwitch9811 yeah I assumed that was why, just weird they keep in his voice, comments and the whole team peck thing, seems like showing his face is barely a step up from that

@@lucianellicott4737 it would suck to get rid of a whole team and really unfair for them

@@marcherwitch9811 ok, I laughed cause I thought it was a joke, the randomness of ot, but then I thought, thats not very funny cause it's probably true. Its true isn't it. Before I google.

@@daniplaysoneasy-9454 yup! actually is...

Because the difference is that Nikki was in a team challenge where they’re judged based on it looking the same. It was the same thing they told them with the four horsemen tattoos. Jesse and Sausage didn’t have to match tattoos because they weren’t being judged together. They’re judged individually and just worked on the same canvas.

Paramount plus

@@korie4198 new episodes???
