Ink Master Sept 7

I like this show. They expose good artists and bad artists. Anyone seen this series before? I like it. What percent of the tattoos you see are good? I feel like I only see 5-10% of tattoos that I think are good. Most tattoos I see are a mess.

I love this show and watched it since season 1. Crazy characters stuffed into one place and forced to compete with each other. Always appreciated art and aside from the tattoos, it's always interesting to see the crazy stuff they're able to create in the flash challenges. The "retribution" spin off they did with the people who got shitty tattoos on the show and had the same artist try again was hilarious. 

 

Yeah definitely. Some tattoo artists are so arrogant and won't admit mistakes and its nice to see the judges put them in their place sometimes. $250K to the winner this season.

Honestly, I appreciate the fine art aspect of tattooing and would wait 6 months or a year or more to get the perfect tattoo (and pay whatever).

How insane is this back piece by one of the judges, Nikko Murtado:
