Worst New School Tattoos 🙃 Ink Master 

Damn for real huh 😆 🤣 😂

I had this happen to me, granted I was literally offering my skin as a practice canvas to an apprentice with 3 weeks under her belt. Her trainer came in 10 minutes into the tattoo and pointed out a bunch of blow outs 😂

@@martianvampire lmao damn 🤣 😂 and then what ?

@martian thats the masters fault for letting the apprentice with only 3 weeks under their belt tattoo lol.. but what happen after tho? U got a cover up or something?

@@skinieeimtheman9858 i mean, how else are you supposed to learn if not by practice ?

😂😂

Artist - "BREATHING! You know how hard that is to tattoo? I'm a new school specialist! This competition is isane!"

I only breathe in black and white 😂

"Why is this unfinished?" "You see, halfway through, my canvas started choking me and I couldn't breathe..." "You don't let your client dictate your breathing. On Breathing day, that's a fail."

@@mareofmaers3590 But, after he choked me out he stabbed my hand and I couldn’t use my tattooing hand… Judges-that’s your problem, you should have started tattooing with your feet this is a serious competition….

I do see some of the appeal of those tattoos but some of the times I definitely agree with the judges.

Lol yeah my entire left sleeve was a backyard job done in 2 sessions, a lot of the bad tattoos on this show are much nicer than mine 😭

Some of them aren’t bad for the general public. It’s just that it’s an extreme competition and the standards are high on purpose

Even though they often pick the style lol

Can definitely tell you’ve drawn your own icon on here - type of “artist by profession” who has been “good at drawing” for their whole life and excuses their lack of ability to depict correct anatomy etc or use legitimate fine art techniques as “that’s just my style, art is subjective”. Judges criticisms may be nitpicks to you, but if you want to be considered a “master”, you do need to have even those most minuscule technical details/skills locked down. It matters. This is why there are so few “masters” of fine art in all of history as well. And you may say it’s not that serious, which is fine, I don’t choose to argue about whether someone should personally consider something important or not. Just that details and technical skill that the average person would overlook or excuse definitely matters (as it should) in this competition, and competition at pretty much any level.

@@DKF_oli Couldn't have said it better

@@DKF_oli ??? It's an old icon I am not a fan of anymore, cuz the anatomy is off, but I haven't bothered to change because I don't engage on RU-vid that much. Very fun that you think you know my entire process and outlook as an artist cuz you saw a miniscule RU-vid icon you didn't like. It's not me saying details aren't important, it's me saying it's kind of batshit that they tell people to stylize and don't like it when they stylize. More than that, It's part of the competition, but this has never even really been about being able to make great art when they tell people to make incredibly complex things that will go on people's skin forever, in much less time than these artists are typically given in a real life setting, etc. and then critique them as if they had enough time to refine. But in general, I don't know why you feel the need to say that because you don't think they're nitpicking, you have to throw in an insult to my own art in the process. Get off your high horse.

@@DKF_oli Why make things personal? Relax.

Chris is not even that great of a tattooer

@@FreakinAyobaMan exactly, they’re also forgetting these tattoos are done in 6 hours compared to 15+. Tho I guess that’s the point of the competition tho, nitpick the tiny things and uneven lines

I understood what he was saying about the color being kinda spotty but I agree 100% the design was adorable 😍

Yeah the design was great, but the colours are reaaaally spotty,, and in my opinion makes it look bad

Its called ink master with 100k prize plus free advertisment of ur work.. since season 1 they will look on the tiniest mistake... most of this arist went to fame just being in this show and get critized and got better and years later theyre on inked magazine or owned their shop

I mean, if you do realism you don't really need to be able to draw, especially comical, and that's fine for a normal tattoo artist. But don't join a competition like this if you can't do more than one style

KIxYOSHI i dont get it, realism is making it as it is in real life right? how come you don’t need to be able to draw?? you’re specifically talking about tattooing and not drawing in general right?

@@MoNehNeh17 Yes, realism is making it look lifelike and I'm specifically talking about tattooing. When tattooing realism, a lot of artists will draw the stencil on top of a picture and not freehand. So they don't really need to be able to draw well in itself, especially not be able to freehand draw comic style stuff like new school, just tattoo well.

honestly it because a lot of new generation use ipads and you dont really need to know how to work digital art is mostly done for you no lie look up some videos of how they do it insane how easy it is rather then to actually have to blend and make contrast with pencil or color the ipad and apps literally do it for you and just trace of google a lot too most tatt per i know cant draw for shit or even do cursive for that matter

@@brigetteparada5056 As a digital artist, saying it does everything for you is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. The difference in digital art is that everything is less permanent. With a tattoo artist that could pose some problems because tattoos don’t have an undo button. However saying digital art is just some a.i. tool is so demeaning for me and so many others

Yeah it blows my mind when those people are on here on ppl who havent ever done a portrait. I get some ppl probably come on here to get their name out there even if they dont truly believe they will win, but sorry if you dont do different styles well, then how can you be a master at this craft?

Ryan did. She won and she's a black and Grey artist.

I must be on the wrong internet cuz I can’t find no pics of horses ridin cowboys 😂😂😂

That tat came out way better than that UFO thing tho

I couldn't believe the guy requested that. What a message to send. Lol

@@exotiq7754 I disagree, but they're both horrible

The thing that aggravates me most about that one was they didn’t even mention the completely f’ed up hoof on the horse, that horseshoe upside down. And I understand most horseshoe tattoos are curve down to “hold in the luck” but when it’s on a horses hoof it should be on the correct direction.

That horse riding Woody was waaaaaay better than that trash ass UFO. Blind ruling and the black dude stays

@@exotiq7754 rt you can clearly see its a cowboy and horse, the ufo one was harder to read.

I never understood why they didn’t do this all the time…. it just makes so much sense, and lessens the chance for any bias ?

Chris wouldn’t even be able to win this competition he is not a good tattoo artist, his own work on instagram is mediocre I can’t believe he ever got to some of his bullshit to these artists

Chris is not very good

I didn’t even realize the jacket *was* a jacket, and I spent a good 2 minutes looking for it before I finally found it

Why this comment have so few likes??

That whole segment always gets me; “You worried?” “Nah.” Cut to King Ruck “Once again, I’m worried.”

They were being too far up their own artist asses to be able to read it as pizza. Us plebs without tattoo or art qualifications must be too dumb and therefore see pizza

I can not imagine having that awful tattoo. That was sooooo bad

*standing ovation* yes, thank you!

Yeah your bang on mate, I don’t like the guy who you mentioned at the end of your comment, in my opinion he’s a big headed prick who thinks his tattoos are much better than the other tattoo artists in the show. I’m covered in tattoos I’m just coming to the end of having my whole back tattoo, I’ve got just one more session, it’s taken 25 months to complete it and I’m 60 years old in September 2022 so I’m probably gonna finish having tattoos now buddy but if I’m honest with you I wouldn’t want tattoos done by some of these artists but your right the bloke with the tattoos on his face who goes around judging everyone else’s tattoos is nothing but a asshole in my opinion.

Yawn - go get Oprah or Whoopie tattoos then.

@@hsss1 Dude, what's that got to do with anything?

Thank you! I always thought tattoos were self-expression, not putting whatever your tattoo artist says because he HATES your style. That's fucked up! At that point, you're nothing but a poser because you say one thing but do another. I like both style of tattoos. They both bring in something different. I personally prefer color because black and gray is boring to me. And I tend to think of bikers with bad tats. Of course, that's not always the case but that's just what pops into my head. But again, it's all about personal preference and no one should be shamed for liking one style over the other as it goes against being alternative anyway. Going against the grain, ya know? I wouldn't want a poser doing my future tats. I don't have any currently, but I have a HUGE project once I lose weight because it's supposed to be a symbol of my transformation when I'm done. Basically, I want to lose weight and work on myself. And then get a tattoo of a floral arrangement with vines and butterflies all around with maybe a few hummingbirds, crawling up under my breasts starting from my lower back, branching off on both sides as it comes up around my ribs and under my breasts. It looks so beautiful in my head!

imo every tattoo should’ve been judged that way, not just 1-2 episodes of the season. getting rid of their personal bias would help so much

That's why you're not a tat artist!

Yeah a non artist wouldn't be able to read into an art piece

🙄 Wow, some people really ARE this pompous.

@@sixthsenseamelia4695 not only that, but I really like to think they exaggerate how much they “dislike” the drawings and artists. A lot of the canvases (I don’t like calling the people getting tattooed as canvases, it feels dehumanizing) actually really like their tattoos

This is why art really shouldn’t be a competition. It’s a subjective thing. You can never convince me the Mona Lisa is beautiful and should be worth a lot of money for example.

The Hulk 🦴 Ms 🗽 😆 Glad I missed THAT Hulk episode.

She's a real survivor lol

Yes I agree! Your comment made my day 😂

I’ve only seen a few new school tattoos that I’ve liked but overall I agree, they are flat out ugly. They remind me of those T shirt designs from the 2000s that you’d see at K-Mart when that was a thing.

I do like a few of the designs, like the sweet goth chick with black and green hair's art, Kelly Dotty. I remember she had some paintings framed on the wall of some new school styled alternative women on the wall that were super awesome. As a goth guy myself, id totally get something like that tatted on me

Agreed. It's just too much like caricature artwork which is already a style I'm not fond of. Not my cup of tea

This is tru, I see it more and more as I watch ink master. They are more bias against black artist, even when they do a good tattoo they’ll try to find something to say. Tbh they can never do that to Anthony the guy who won ink master, he was too good of a artist.

Good makes my night

those cat were pretty bad.

the cats are terrible

I dunno, alot of times, the judges be right, tho

His was the best of the day tbh, I just hated that little green dinosaurs belly it was like 9 months pregnant

It was all scripted and for camera but then again it don't make it okay he was like that to professional artists.

No way man😂

Which one bro

You the St. Marq tattoo?

Tell us, do they really make people stop at 6 hours or do they let them go longer if they need to finish?

I didn't think the tattoo was that horrible but I can understand why it is unreadable

The lineart for New School is to have bold, dark lines for the outline. His tattoo looks unfinished in that style. The bridge itself is fine (probably needs a black outline) with perspective, but it ultimately just doesn't look like a finished New School tattoo. As a piece of art, it looks great. But as a piece of art with a specific style it's trying to emulate, it just falls a little short. I didn't see the full episode, so there may have been worse tatts than the bottom 3 we were shown, but out of the 3, it did look the best

I was just looking at it, and I agree. There’s no way a horse could ever position their legs like that. Not only would that mean the entire foot would have to be rotated at an awkward angle, it’s just not anatomically correct

@@cellie_bellie exactly.

i feel like that was more the poor filming quality than the artists themselves. even in the newer seasons some of the tats they say are super saturated don’t look like it on the screen with their photos.

Almost like standards change over time. Wild!

@@enbeast8350 Even if it's not the saturation of the recording quality and it's the standards, I don't understand how that calling the desaturated colors (so already several years old looking tats) to be fully saturated. Plus in the later seasons, they say that very saturated (if it's not the recording quality) tats aren't that saturated or pigmented. So from one extreme to the next and that not being fair is my point.

Upside down and the back legs are bent the wrong direction.

I think it was a knockoff of them. I don't think Fon even tried with thinking of a design so he slapped those two on and made up his own version of the characters.

That other girl didn’t even follow the prompt of the tattoo

i’m just glad i’m not the only one that thought this..

if i had to get any of those, jessa's was the worst of the 3.

It looked like a pig over a turd and the rest was too dark and unreadable. No, he didn't get screwed. You're probably not an artist/ tattoo artist if you think like that.

It was also the largest and would be the most difficult by far to cover. His colors weren't bright or saturated in some areas. It was hard to read. Etc.

Same, really hate them lol just looks so whacky

Cause she's already in the crazy canvases comp

@@niagambino1714 yeah and people would have gotten sick of seeing her on the list. Same with those who are sick of Kito's koi fish lady in the videos.

Sometimes artists are too far up their own artist assholes that they can no longer think like us plebs who see cheese, triangle, mushroom and think "ah, pizza"

Same. While it didn't fit color theory I thought it was a funny tattoo.

Spyro and crash bandicoot

Agree. Alex Tatoo was whack

@@Lady-Moosh exactly what i was thinking

@@gabrielv1856 wack asl man. Alex was pretty garbage lol

Of the bottom three St Marq’s was my favorite, he shouldn’t have went home for that

Guarantee u the director is j like let’s get a nice shot of you smiling and they j cut it in

It's probably the editing.

It’s just the editing. Those reaction shots could’ve been cut in from anywhere

Best part of the show!

I do too and it had a meaning behind the person too.

Chris was hating for no reason tbh. It felt like he was kinda sexist.

Was the band supposed to be based on a real band i tried looking it up but nothing it kind of looked like kurt cobain

It was totally fine, it was just cartoony. Honestly the harshness of that critique, I don't even blame her for arguing back, it really came across like it was just a bias against the art style.

It was fine, I feel like Artistic Skin Design shouldn't have even been in the bottom that day, and Chris was way too harsh with the laser comment

Is not my favorite style but I can also see why is so appealing to some. It's very goofy and the colors are usually bright and beautifully done.

Yeah I agree too. It looks like cartoons you would find in a coloring book

@@artisticalex1206 It’s still good art. It’s just not your style. That’s like me calling comic book art bad because I don’t like the style. Simply a matter of opinion

And then Chris is over here channelling Simon Cowell lol

it just looks like a cowboy running and a horse standing behind him i literally googled horse riding cowboy and found better things

It was a dumb idea that became a worse tattoo 😣

@@DKF_oli I don't even think the idea is dumb lol. I think an amazing artist would draw a fuckin awesome horse riding a man haha

@@ChristelVinot why would you get that tattooed lmao, maybe I’m biased because when I was in 1st grade art class our teacher said “paint the absolute craziest thing you can possibly think of happening” and I painted a horse riding on a cowboy - so it’s like creativity level of a literal 5 year old in my opinion 😅😂

@@DKF_oli Well, the canvas wanted that. It's up to the artist to make it amazing. One's person horse on a cowboy will be lame, but another's will be mind-blowing. A great artist can make any idea awesome, no matter how "uncreative" it may seem.

He did blackface and got fired so I think they're trying to avoid showing him

YES finally someone

@@AndreiH1605 I am surprised the judges did not rip him to shreds for that.

@@Ben-Carr it was literally the first thing I noticed lol, but with all the things wrong with those tattoos...

Nikki is quite narcissistic though.

He's an open racist. He deserves it.
