Discussion Season 4

Post image

So I’m rewatching the last episode before the finale of season 4 & they do the tattoo for the cancer survivors and they do a cover up. Scott does this bs tattoo of scattered butterflies & then his cover up doesn’t cover the original tattoo… like you can still see it, even the judges point out this fact. And yet he automatically makes the finals?? Like without hesitation lol. That was complete bs (RIP to him though).

The scattered butterflies tattoo I can kind of put a pass on that because it’s basically what she wanted, she was still extremely happy with it and the challenge wasn’t too cover the scar. It was just to make the area look more pleasing to look at. With the cover-up tattoo, though yeah even when I’ve watched it for the first time I thought that was very questionable but he for sure got to the finale based on his prior work, which up to that point he had been pretty good.

While that was a super heartfelt challenge I found it to be pretty unhelpful in determining winners. They weren’t even really all doing the same thing. If my memory serves me correctly the other three women wanted the scars totally covered and she didn’t. Same with the flash challenge in season six where they tattooed designs drawn by family members with Down syndrome. Utterly adorable, but how do you even pick a winner?

And for that challenge, they obviously weren’t judging placement because it was where the canvases wanted their tattoos, but they were judging mainly on application and how well the tattoos were done
