r/Inkmaster

I almost got tattooed by someone from one of the new seasons at a convention. We talked about my idea on the first day and she said she had time and asked me to DM her some references. By late on the second day, I still hadn’t heard from her on a time, so I went over and talked to her again. Once again, she said she had time, and we talked about her rates and the tattoo I was going to get. The next morning, I got a DM from her saying she couldn’t do it. She strung me along all weekend when I could have gotten tattooed by someone else and it was really annoying.

Anyways, that’s my only experience meeting a contestant. I have seen Jorrell and Elva Stefanie in passing but never spoke to them. What about you?

One of my favorite lines from him was when he said he was the best tattoo artist in the world

I personally think it's the worst or at least one of the worst tattoos done. And besides new school, what else can Jime Do?

Was there anyone who you thought was hot or had a crush on out of anyone in the Ink Master universe?

In my opinion 2 that stick out in my mind are Keith from S4 and LT from S5

I really enjoyed watching the Jury of Canvases decide who did their worst tattoo. Jury of Peers not so much, since they would make it about strategy. I wish that they had a Jury of Canvases on for every episode.

In Season 2, they voted for Tatu Baby to come back for Season 3, and then they voted Kyle back for Season 4. Then, the fight happened and they never brought it back again.

It has always made me laugh how the don’t censor the Ass part but the censor the hole part. Don’t censor part of the word, censor the entire damn thing.

Why in later season finales did they stop showing the montage of Dave telling each week's loser they didn't have what it takes to be ink master? I feel like it stopped around season 10. My wife and I always looked forward to that part.

"Brian, Ryan, Miami, MV, Earl...." none of you has what it takes to be Ink Master.

I was watching Season 7, and Alex Rockoff reminded me so much of all the things I did not like about Tyler Nolan (season 6). Then I started wondering, who was more obnoxious? Pretentious? Were they trying to be bullies? Where you happy when they got eliminated?

Do y’all think their beef was the craziest in the show history or do you think another beef was more intense than theirs? Another one I can think of is JCD vs Josh

Dude is such a good TV character. I enjoyed all of his scenes. Although, I would never want him to tattoo me or be friends with him, he made Season 3 so damn entertaining. And this was a season with Joshua Habbard and Kyle Dunbar. These new seasons are so fake compared to the already fake shit we used to have with fake prisoners in a fake prison.

Also Nunez gives him the biggest smack down for his G cleft anatomical tattoo that he had nothing for. “When you lay your head down on a pillow, did your tattoo really fight as hard as your mouth is trying?”

I think the general consensus in this sub about JCD and Kruseman is that their master canvases were dope, but they still didn’t deserve to win the title. And if report cards did matter, how exactly do they choose the winner in that case? Season 6 comes to mind — Kruseman, Chris The Marine, and Matt all had major ups and downs that entire season (I think all 3 ended up in the bottom at least twice each). But then you look at season 5 where Cleen dominated everything all season and the choice is clear.

And as a side note, while we’re on the topic of report cards…how the hell did Mark Longenecker make top 4?? Someone needs to calculate what contestant was in the bottom for the most amount of time in their season. I would be shocked if it were someone other than Mark lol

It’s an impressive tattoo overall, obviously, but can someone tell me what the grey thing on top of it is? The right results weren’t coming up when I searched. Also, Gian was robbed. Thank you.
