It was nice to see Cat's sense of respect and fair-play again. Despite the disappointment she must have felt at losing, she never failed to compliment James and the piece he beat her on any particular challenge with. Being a good loser is something the majority of the world has lost sight of and seeing this young woman be such a shining example is reassuring. Cat is also a stunningly lovely woman and as beautiful in personality as she is physically. I hope her fiancee knows how lucky he is!
I knew James would take it. Week after week he had great tattoos but Cat’s work was so good and creative. Respect for her, any other season she would’ve dominated
They started with people who couldn't even pull a straight line in season 1, and season after season the quality level has stepped up. Now there is no room for error or uncertainty, even the bottom tattoos are good anyway!
@@Itachihandymanyeah you’re brain dead😂only thing that matters on the show is the tattoos and they are 100x better now than before, you just miss forced drama
This was the best season of the new era so far. Please keep the blind judging next season. They did a better job this season of not focusing on guessing who tattooed what during the blind judging.
@gregorylalic8482 I would love to see a rematch finale. However, they did reveal there final back piece here in UA-cam. Look it up and see. They're all stunning
I'm not sure why they didn't do it before season 14. Even if Jimmy had been on season 14 with Bob & Angel, would have gotten close to a final answer. I'm a fan of Jimmy's but Bob probably would have won.
I’m very new to Ink Master but this season was absolute 🔥 I loved it. OGs vs. Young Guns was a great idea. Bummed that Cat lost but James is unbelievably good. Can’t complain. Great season.
This was a great season especially when it comes to the new judges. So much better than seasons 14 and 15. The artists in this season were really good.
It should be against the rules to hand out american traditional to another competitor in the final No matter how good they are it will still look sub par. That's just the nature of that style.
Yeah, especially when it's American traditional against realism or new school. It's not that you can't have a badass American traditional tattoo, but the potential is just worlds apart compared to some other styles.
7:46 This is really pedantic of me, and I don't even know why it annoys me so much when people misuse it. The sow in "you reap what you sow" isn't referring to sewing clothes. It's an agricultural term that basically means planting seeds.
I came to the comments for the exact same reason - it’s a gorgeous tattoo but it being stitched into his skin doesn’t make any sense, esp when in French the words for ‘sow’ is ‘sème’ and ‘sew’ is ‘coudre’, and therefore the phrase wld never be even tangentially related to stitching in a French-speaker’s mind.
James's Medusa tattoo brings chills down my spine.....this season of inkmaster is indeed GREAT!!!!!the final three really deserves the spot!!!!!all of them are great....even the bottom tattoos were great!!!!
I loved this season. I prefer to know more about the canvasses and their stories instead of the drama from past seasons. The session with the guide dogs was very emotional, in a good way. Keep it up Ink Master!
Cat is so creative, she pulled herself up and finished up with that amazing back piece that really was her story! She is amazing 🎉 but James is of course The Ink Master! Loved that parent/ mentor rivalry and lastly the creative challenges were dope this season!
This is the best season of the new era. People are just tattooing, occasionally talking crap but mostly just showing each other respect and camaraderie.
James tattoos are BEAUTIFUL they show so much character, I would be over the mooooon for some sort of art book with all of his illustrations.. overall insane especially how even with coloring he shows so much emotion
for me this is the best season for all INK master. Damn lots of talent in this season. but I expect already James is the Best among the rest. I thought Pony will be the one against james but his Son Anthony is not a surprise
Anyone else really miss the old judges?? I haven’t watched the show for a while so I didn’t know they got new judges and it’s just not the same. They seem way nicer, no matter what the old judges had some criticism but you don’t see that as much with these guys
Just watched till the end. No wonder he won 😂 He’s just was way too much for everyone else .. and his kid is almost on same level , that’s a craziest part of it !
this season while containing some of the best artists to date, was a massive dissapointment... i cant deny the winner was a good tattooist, but He was in the bottom and should have gone home, thats the point in a blind critique.... shameless to sacrifice 2 young guns to save the OGs....
Anothony was categorically and statistically the worst ever to be in the top 2 the dude tattooed a koala bear and called it a lion... wtf how was he chosen over Cat? Dude had sloppy tattoos all season Idk if i can watch another season at this point.
James was incredibly rude to just chop a person's clothes off without their consent. I hope he used some of his prize money to buy that guy new shorts.
I am interested in tattoos and tattoo artistry. I just HATE this trashy patronising style of editing with the nasty, out of context reaction shots and the cheap, overused music trying to pump maximum melodrama into every second of the show. It is insulting.
I would agree with you...if that's what she said. She said "My husband is extremely supportive. He's an amazing dad. I got so lucky. Being here is making me appreciate how supportive and lucky I am to have the family I have. I'm not going to let them down." She didn't say he was supportive because he was watching the kids.
This is the first time seeing no bitching and drama on Ink Master - and so much respect between the contenders.
Amazing work!
@@doodlebugprincesss I love the respect the OG's showed towards the young guns, especially in the finale with Cat
I’m going to be outlandish and say this is my favourite season of ink master by a mile
The father and son face off is unreal! THAT MEDUSA IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
I'm looking forward to the next season

the bottom tattoos are good because they aren't being challenged like the real seasons of Ink master
@@Itachihandymanyeah you’re brain dead😂only thing that matters on the show is the tattoos and they are 100x better now than before, you just miss forced drama

Cats dog tattoo is the best portrait ever on ink master... She crushed it
🧢
I hope the lady who got the tattoo has enough vision left to see what an awesome tattoo it is! Sure looked like her dog.
i was looking for a real catdog tattoo if u know what i mean
😂😂😂
Incredible
James dominated right from his first tattoo; even his “bad” tattoo was miles above the others
I was rooting for James legit he is solid in every area and style. Really cool 😎 season though
The Medusa tattoo by James in my opinion is the best tattoo ever on Ink Master. This guy is a damn perfectionist.
I loved how this season had NO drama, everyone respected one another.
Anthony's crane in the finale is unreal. The composition and colors he used are next level
His stuff in insane to see in person. I've seen him at a tattoo convention and flipping through his portfolio was just a feast for the eyes
Damn cat's back piece was SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!! Can't hate on the father son combo tho, they killed it.
Really enjoyed this; no barking or bitching or "smack" talk. Great artists competing with each other and RESPECTING the skills of their opponents.
That Medusa is unreal
Everyone seems on another level on this show compared to the older series!
"Before you battle against a young gun, you must first out tattoo a young gun" Uh, I... Isn't that the same thing?
Can we have Bob, Angel, and Jimmy have a rematch?
What season were they on?
@FernandoLopez-cm8sx season 13 but we never declared a winner due to covid
@gregorylalic8482 I would love to see a rematch finale. However, they did reveal there final back piece here in UA-cam. Look it up and see. They're all stunning

I'm a fan of Jimmy's but Bob probably would have won.
@mistaken_stranger8343 well it's bin a few years no time like the present
Im proud to wear a full sleeve , chest and full rib piece from James. Vintage James tex ink on me from early 2001 to 04. Still looks badass .
James is so good. But damn I'm sad it's over. Gotta wait another year for another season 😞
I’m very new to Ink Master but this season was absolute 🔥 I loved it. OGs vs. Young Guns was a great idea. Bummed that Cat lost but James is unbelievably good. Can’t complain. Great season.
I know it sucks having to wait so long for a new season. This one was amazing the artists were on another level this year! 😮❤
James is the best artist. I have ever seen on inkmasters
This was a great season especially when it comes to the new judges. So much better than seasons 14 and 15. The artists in this season were really good.

Badass back pieces for the finale!

Anthony's back piece is fckin incredible.

These are all top level artists and I believe that is why you see so much respect between them.
Pony played it way too safe every episode he even says it "I'm gonna go safe" he didn't take any risks.
Elena had so much potential. I could’ve seen her alongside Cat as the final two young guns
Father and son killed it, but that Medusa was absolutely incredible
father and son in the finale. dude, that's crazy
Cat is so creative, she pulled herself up and finished up with that amazing back piece that really was her story! She is amazing 🎉 but James is of course The Ink Master! Loved that parent/ mentor rivalry and lastly the creative challenges were dope this season!
one of the best seasons hands down!!!!
This is the best season of the new era. People are just tattooing, occasionally talking crap but mostly just showing each other respect and camaraderie.
oh god, that dog portrait made me cry. that's beautiful.
I loved this season. Minimal contrived drama, just people doing their best at their craft. So proud of cat!
no coz James is an awesome artist.
40:20 these are insane 😍😍😍😍
Pony had the best metallic by far. That was so sick it even looked old.
Those back pieces are spectacular!
James is the winner from the first episode congratulations 🎉
Fun season. I like that there wasn’t any forced pettiness or trashy drama. Even the “bad” tattoos were good!
No one has ever dominated a season like James did season 16
James tattoos are BEAUTIFUL they show so much character, I would be over the mooooon for some sort of art book with all of his illustrations.. overall insane especially how even with coloring he shows so much emotion
I loved Pony's work the best.
Looks like a great season.
James is amazing tattoos and I like cat’s tattoos as cool but congrats to James
11:22 Pony tattoo shouve have won this challenge. LOOK AT IT IYS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN ❤
James was leagues above everyone else in this competition. Idk where y’all found him but God I haven’t seen tattoos like that ever
Cat was the winner for me
Agreed
Not even close.
@@ausdude121typical male response
Calgary representing. James should bring Cat up here.
Good Charlotte ❤
I want a tattoo from james holy shit he is amazing
The best season ❤
for me this is the best season for all INK master.
Damn lots of talent in this season.
but I expect already James is the Best among the rest.
I thought Pony will be the one against james but his Son Anthony is not a surprise
That medusa and crane is just effin unreal
Producers was messy as hell with that comment at the end😂
Man, I would love to get a piece by DJ, Ryan, or Nikko. Doesn't matter what it is, I know it would be fire.
Does this show still come on? I used to love this show.
Ok father and son top two? So good. 😮
this season is fucking insane
Anyone else really miss the old judges?? I haven’t watched the show for a while so I didn’t know they got new judges and it’s just not the same. They seem way nicer, no matter what the old judges had some criticism but you don’t see that as much with these guys
Not sure who won, but there is no way anyone other then James won competition.
it’s like master vs kids :)
Just watched till the end.
No wonder he won 😂
He’s just was way too much for everyone else .. and his kid is almost on same level , that’s a craziest part of it !
@@kj8491 Yeah, considering the difference in their experience, Anthony might beat out the old man when he catches up!
The prize money will stay in the family.
this season while containing some of the best artists to date, was a massive dissapointment... i cant deny the winner was a good tattooist, but He was in the bottom and should have gone home, thats the point in a blind critique.... shameless to sacrifice 2 young guns to save the OGs....
pony for the win!!!!
I’m not sure how I feel about a guy doing a Medusa tattoo on a guy
Nice recap but the editing needs work, too repetitive at times and missing context on parts.
For sure Medusa has Ryan’s inspired lips hehehe
Did this channel just stop post the flash challenge??? I love the bear and cute frog paintings
The ear on that second one was crazy ngl
james is awesome
Anothony was categorically and statistically the worst ever to be in the top 2 the dude tattooed a koala bear and called it a lion... wtf how was he chosen over Cat? Dude had sloppy tattoos all season Idk if i can watch another season at this point.
No way James wins the Mashup challenge. That dragon was stupid
Alena was a very cute baby.
Next season can we please get Team Ryan vs Team DJ!
James is kind of a jerk but MAN is the guy talented. I think Andy could have beat him, but James was more strategic with his art.
Cat is fckn awesome !!!!
Cool beans
Hey is this a new season? New show 2024???.
So whats next for season 17
I don't know
USA vs The World
Anthony’s lion was soooo bad it’s laughable
Yeah what a disappointment because his crane was crazy beautiful.
Love from Abuja Nigeria ❤❤❤❤❤
sleeping on cats back piece, way better than anthony’s shit
Let's tattoo your story! NYC
Gotta say i miss the old judges, this feels like a worse copy. :(
Maggie looks like maggie
I think James and Anthony had great tattoos but I don’t care for their personalities. So it made it hard to watch this season. 😶🙂↕️
I hope pony wins
canada rep!
These new judges suck
James was incredibly rude to just chop a person's clothes off without their consent. I hope he used some of his prize money to buy that guy new shorts.
It wasn't without their consent though. He asked him how expensive the shorts were and the guy said to cut them.
I am interested in tattoos and tattoo artistry. I just HATE this trashy patronising style of editing with the nasty, out of context reaction shots and the cheap, overused music trying to pump maximum melodrama into every second of the show. It is insulting.
Stephanie says her husband is 'supportive' for looking after his kids. No girl, he's not 'supporting' you. He's looking after HIS KIDS!
Sshhhhh no one wants to hear it.
I would agree with you...if that's what she said. She said "My husband is extremely supportive. He's an amazing dad. I got so lucky. Being here is making me appreciate how supportive and lucky I am to have the family I have. I'm not going to let them down." She didn't say he was supportive because he was watching the kids.
Bring back Dave and Oliver
Noooooo
James seems like a cool father. Too bad his son doesn't have the same personality as him
That realistic bhuda started off as grimer from ghost busters
