Ink Master: Dave Navarro's Tattoos 

"I have one, not by choice." Real sense of respect from Dave - what a cool likable guy!

His voice is so soothing and he has a very calm demeanor you can’t hate him

Dave seems like such an amazing guy to me, would love to meet him some day

Wow. The "I have one but not by choice" story is so heart wrenching. Dave seems like such a real person though, and I imagine a few of his tears leaked out of his eyes for Rose. What an honor to meet an absolute hero who survived one of the most dehumanizing reigns of terror in history. I admire Dave for wanting to memorialize that beautiful soul and carry her with him for the rest of his life. Well done.

Dave has said on the show that his critiques are from the perspective of the client. They could have gotten anyone to do it but I think he's good at it. He's also said it's just for fun. I like him on the show.

The very first tat you talked about, the "I have one but not by choice" for Rose ...beautiful. Just hearing that little snip it of your choice shows right there what a deep wonderful soul you are ...stunning. ❤️ Namaste Dave❤️🌹you really are a pure loving angel in human clothing. Much love to you.

Dave, your story about "I have one, just not by choice" really touched me. I have a few sentimental pieces but none with that strong of a story! Thanks for sharing!!

that's so moving. "i have one but not by choice."

Is anyone else completely in love with this man. He's been through so much and stays so strong. Amazing guy xxxx

Dave's "I have one, but not my choice" with the rose tattoo, holds a great fucking meaning.

Keep in mind when you keep saying how can Dave judge tattoos. He really is not a judge, He is the HOST. yes sometimes it comes do to him when Oliver and Chris disagree.

"I have one but not by choice"... wow that's intense but beautiful he was able to make something out of it that was by choice

He’s not usually someone that’s my type but there’s is something in the way he walks and talks that literally makes me a fan girl and I hate him/love him for it

hmm for a 45 year old (at the moment of this vid was taken) he looks quiet good ..

He's so well educated and formulates his words.

He appreciates the art not for perfection, but for the art itself. Which, in my book, is mega important.

That "I have one but not by choice" is beautifully tragic, Dave's a good dude

I have such a crush for this man :cc

Dave is such a babe

He always reminds me of a “Prince Of Egypt” cartoon character

This man is beautiful. I remember having a crush on him as a kid..

Dave Navarro is HOT!!!

'I have one, but not by choice' Very touching story.

He is such a beautiful person.

can we just take a minute to discuss... ✨ respectively ✨ how much of a daddy this guy is

this guy is actually a good guy it seems, I learned to hate him as a person from ink master, but I guess the whole show is just staged... hate that tho, I want to see the actual art and learn, not hearing evil people screaming mean shit to one eachother.

I saw Jane's Addiction in a really small club in the UK back in 1990 (The Bierkeller in Bristol with just a couple of hundred audience members....going fucking crazy!!!!) and i don't think Dave had any tattoo's at the time.......that i can remember (or none that were visible at least). Perry had one (that Praying Mantis type thing on his arm) which i think is still the only one he has! They were such an amazing band back then (one of the best bands EVER at the time!) but sadly the last time i saw them (2003 i think ?) it felt like i was watching a very average Jane's Addiction tribute band just going through the motions. At least i have the memories of them when they were truly a magnificent band to behold!!!

I am the same with tattoos - not all mine are perfect but I love them all because of what they mean to me and the reasons why I got them.

THAT´S the reason why i love tattoos!!!! It´s the story behind them. Tattoos are a message, a statement, a mirror to your soul.

I love Dave, but damn do I ever wish things could be different. Listening to him talk about all his amazing tattoos, mainly the rose tattoo. But yeah if your a rock star/ famous person, you have the right to express yourself. You can live your full life, purple hair, tattoos, piercings etc. But any average person, trying to land a job, etc, have to worry about a tiny nose ring. I love Dave, he has true talent. No ones life is perfect, but can't EVERYONE have that beautiful freedom he does?

I remember reading the story of the woman on the plane saying she had a tattoo from the holocaust and I couldn't for the life of me remember who the musician it was! Didn't realise he went and got a tattoo after to commemorate the meeting. Makes me love Dave more

dave is such a philosophical guy ... I really like his views.

I have the biggest crush on Dave. You don't even understand not just his AMAZING looks but also his badass/sweetheart personality

Love him.... cute, sweet, hot

‘I have one, but not by choice’ Okay yeah that made me tear up

he seems so nice and like he'd be easy to talk to

Dude, I have mad respect for Dave. He can even stop a fight with his voice.❤️😎

He is a absolutely amazing man, down to earth and very kind guy ,I have mad respect and love for Dave Navarro

They really should bring Tommy Helm as a permanent judge because he's all about the artistry in tattoos

Such an exquisite man aww

The rose story was really cool But tbh my favs are the Batman tats he has on both shoulders 😂👌🏻👍🏻

i like how you can see the ohm fairy so visibly in this video but of course he pretends it's not there…it was a special time for everyone.

I have a little crush on this man

Dave u cool as hell man i hope i get to meet u some day in a tattoo convention

Okay.. so it’s 2021… Dave’s message reminds me .. There was a pottery sale every year to raise money for students.. I looked at every beautiful piece and selected the one that was artfully done but clearly not done as skillfully as the others. I really like the colors, the design, but the lines aren’t straight- it wasn’t ‘perfect’- and that’s what I like about it. I wanted to support the person who probably thought that no one would chose their piece. To me it was the best one!

I love to hear Dave say Tatu Baby

love this guy and everything he said about tattoos.

literally the hottest man alive HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dave seems like the coolest guy ever

what people get is their own decission, but the show is a nation wide competion, every detail matters, thats why its called Ink MASTER

Dave Navarro is my Man❤️

Klimt is one of my favorite artists, as well. “The Kiss” is my all-time favorite painting.

Dave is probably one of the soulful people in the world. The dude is just that likable

Dave your approachable, the ability to share such a historic time, in a person's life, with it comes a gratitude, a historic gratitude- That with you, her story will not be in vain, and for a bit there, she took you to a memory, suspended in a traumatic time- "crying"- vowing to never forget.. a history through eyes of a survivor of the holocaust. Xoxo that is an awesome memory, stamped on your body- a picture book of sweet memories. xoxo

The story behind the "rose" tat is so touching. How awesome it must've been to meet her.

Y’all we need another update on him. I’m trying to draw him and his tattoos but I can’t from the reference I have. There is supposed to be a skull underneath that bat symbol peaking out of his left sleeve.

I kinda have the same attitude about tattoos, I don’t really care too much about them meaning something, if it looks cool and it’s not something you’re never going to get tired of looking at then get it...

I love his voice

I have learned a lot about doing and getting tattoos. I love the show.!

Dave is such an awesome guy now, I'm so happy he turned his life around

I'm from Israel so this story really afects me. now I have more recpect for this dude

Was he sitting next to Rose Schindler? She was on the Jocko Podcast speaking about how she survived Auschwitz and how her family was torn apart. Definitely check her out

I love Dave such a likeable down to earth guy also very good looking 😍

One of my favorite judges

..Man that rose tattoo story gave me chills from my head to my toes!! I hope that woman will see this one day and smile as big as i did!!

love dave navarro with all my heart and always will

He's so handsome. I'd go out with him!

That is so amazing!!! Omg i just love that tattoo story...wow!

I adore Dave Navarro so much 🖤

He has his Lucifer tattoo that sits on his lower throat covered up in the vid.

One of my greatest mentors Edith Bahn had a number on her arm. She owned the "cafe Budapest " in Boston. Amazing woman

Dave will probably never see this comment, but I had the honor to meet the same lady (at least I think so)! She had dinner at my house in Mexico City in 1995! Her life testimony changed my life forever! Her name was Rose Price! She told me the SAME THING about her tattoo! If it is the the same person, it would be the craziest coincidence ever!

finally someone who isn't a hater and i agree he is hott i don't see why people had to go out of the way to click on this video just to pick on this poor guy

Dude my heart 😔

Cool Mr. Navarro. So sweet you are.blessings. 🙏🕊️✌️🌎🤘🙌✝️☮️💪

He looks like the coolest dude ever

That’s an awesome summarization of what a tattoo is, it’s a memory and it doesn’t have to be the best or coolest or best lines. Unless of course it’s a god awful mess that didn’t turn out anything like you thought it would.

He is so pleasent 😀❤️

I don't know what it is about him. I have always really liked this guy.

Love Ink Master and Dave of coarse, watching something they have drawn come to life on a body is great to watch. Its a lot of fun, at one time tattoos were a taboo subject. My ancestor's Ta Moko were banned, my Great Aunt being one of the last women in our tribe to wear one that was in the early 1970's, now the men and women are returning to Ta Moko or even having Maori designs on their body, in my eyes beautiful to see. There are people who don't like them. Your Ink is special to you and you don't need to justify why you did it!

I love this show..Lyle Tuttle is an old Friend of mine..I was on his Biz.Cards in 1962..I've Been Watching Him Do tattoos all these yrs..I was there when he tattooed the Allman Bro..& Hot Tuna (1971 & 2)...I got my one & only tattoo from him in 1971 ..a Dragon That he signed his name around..This was the 1st.time he ever signed his name on anyone..I played at Both tattoo Balls at Bimbos in San Francisco..around 1978.(I'm a Musician)..Tattooing has come a long way..I'm 69 now Lyle Is 82...

So much respect for that rose tattoo!

dave narvarro tattoos great on ink master !!!!

I love Dave. So humble

The thing that irritates me about this show is the fact that they bring non-tattoo artists to guest judge. It's probably 100% for ratings, but it's unfair if you're an artist on the show. Being famous doesn't qualify you to judge artwork and some artists have left the show because of reviews from people who know nothing about tattooing. I'm watching an episode now where some guy from True Blood is judging; he doesn't even have any tattoos! Wtf would he know about anything to do with this show?? At least bring on big name designers or illustrators: people who actually know what they're talking about versus some boxer or actor who hasn't drawn a thing their entire lives.

King of cool. Hands down KING OF COOL. Love this guy, so humble, so gentle yet so badass !!

Wow dave what a guy that i have one but not by choice rose one was so nice and dope

Dave Navarro love you❤

This is so much better than those GQ videos

Very nice, cool guy, Dave Navarro.

This opened a memory in my mind that I completely I forgot about

I wish he would do my first tattoo 😞he is so amazing and the awesomest guy ever

lindo.... simplesmente apaixonada 😍, Dave 😍😍😍😍

This kinda warmed me up to him.

DAVE IS FUCKING AWESOME!

Her name being rose is like... makes sense like made up story... like it’s too perfect

He seems so nice 💯

He is hot!

He is so hot!! I loved him since the 90's

because those artists are actually busy doing important stuff
