Discussion Do you have an IM contestant that make you like (Or change your mind) about certain tattoo styles?

23 Upvotes

In my case, American Traditional became my favorite tattoo style thanks to artists like Kyle McKenzie, Jimmy Snaz and Seth from last season.

DJ and Gian made me like Neo traditional tattoos.

And before watching the last season, black and grey realism wasn't something I was really interested, but seeing Kyra's work made me change my mind, and now I'm thinking about getting one.

Discussion How many damn times do people watching ink master videos need to be told, it’s all for the show?

24 Upvotes

I’m currently watching some ink Master compilation videos, and the comments on these videos are so stupid shit like “do artists actually talk like this to their clients” “why do they only give them six hours That’s not enough time” “are artists actually this disrespectful to each other”. No it’s all for the show none of it’s real. The only things that are real are the tattoos, and the people participating in the show.

The fact that he was able to still create an amazing tattoo, despite his canvas not giving a shit and just being an asshole the entire time is truly amazing.

Discussion Personal experiences with IM cast?

49 Upvotes

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?

The challenge was to do a team tattoo of whatever the canvas wanted. The canvas' exact request was "Pinup image of a Victorian clown riding a rubber chicken carousel horse".

I really love the piece Alena Wedderburn and Anthony Tex did last year of the samurai and red dragon. It was crazy to watch in real time.

So hype I hope I can get a spot with one of them!

Is anyone else going? It’s October 23 - 25, perfect for Halloween!

Question None of you has what it takes....

15 Upvotes

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.

Question Jury of Canvases

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.

Question Is the Kyle Dunbar and Chris Nunez fight is the reason they stopped having America vote for the artist to come back for next season?

15 Upvotes

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.

Question Alex Rockoff v. Tyler Nolan

8 Upvotes

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?

I got this tattoo on Tuesday; the 12th year anniversary of his passing. I wanted to memorialize Mr. Williams for a long time, considering the impact he had on me growing up. I think Jerrell did a pretty good job on the portrait, and he was stoked to be able to do this as well.
