It’s not a gamble cause they can all tattoo just as good or better than any of your tattoo artists. It’s a free tattoo so it can’t be a gamble. Also, you know what your signing up for an you give the green light before it’s put on your body. Idek what your talkin about lol

You’ve never seen something like them, they are so bold, so saturated, with amazing detail and they all have such unique stories. I think only a true artist can do such a thing
I thought that too, until one day I decided I wanted something that would remind me of the wonderful times my husband and I went scuba diving, when I was old and grey.

Anthony's story hits too close to home for me. My cousin Sharon went in for gall bladder surgery and was given too much anethesia which caused brain damage and she died two weeks later, still in a coma. Blew me away to hear Anthony relate the exact same story...
That's so scary. I had total gallbladder failure and had to have it removed at 19. It's such an unusual problem (at that age) it took them over a year to diagnose it.
I’m so sorry for your loss! I just lost a very close Cousin myself due to a Doctors neglect. She went in for a colostomy and they actually dropped her off of the table! 😡 She was sent home without them saying anything to her about it and died two days later. She even called the office from home saying that she thought something was wrong and was blew off! Needless to say! They are suing the Doctor. She wouldn’t have known anything about it if one of the Nurses didn’t contact her or someone! I can’t recall exactly how that part came about.
Jesse has such a unique, carefree and well-established art style and perspective. The only issue for me is that he occupies a very niche customer base for people who want his creatures on their body forever. Prints, merch, illustrations? Hell yeah, they're beautifully gross, bright and happy. Immortalised on someone's body? Definitely not gonna happen as often
It does happen often though. Many people all around the world love new school. Not sure if it's popular in the states, but everywhere else, yeah, it is.
I love how Jesse creates a whole backstory for his tattoo. I’d never get his style on me but I’d definitely buy his children’s books if he were so inclined.
it was nice to see the women have such lovely praises at the end. been watching a lot of ink master, and the beginning seasons feature a lot of sexism and misogyny, so watching laura and dani get such good, well deserved feedback made me smile!
@@tokivikerness8863 b1tch they were saying sh1t like "id hate to see a pretty girl less pretty becouse of a masculine tattoo" out of something the GIRL wanted. In a free challenge. Go figure.
@@tokivikerness8863 YOU are the one that equated criticism to sexism. This comment is about blatant sexism, not a woman being given constructive criticism.
Jesse's tattoo was actually really good, i was triggered that they criticized the anatomy of a CARTOON character, crazy... his shading was amazing as well!
Even with cartoony characters anatomy still matters. It's cartoony, not Lovecraftian horror. Part of the art is making weird anatomy work. Otherwise you can just stick anything anywhere and call it a "style."
Jesse struggled with the colors, possibly out of nerves, but he also did what he is best at. Anthony doing something that he doesnt do normally and struggled with before shows he wants to grow as a tattoo artist
As someone that does illustration I can tell you that anatomy is absolutely relevant to cartoon characters. You can push certain shapes but it still needs to make anatomical sense. You need to be able to see how a body part is connected and imagine that being functional. Even though his style is made up creature designs I definitely see a lot of issues anatomically that is making that tattoo hard to read.
Anatomy doesn't need to be true to life, but it does need to make sense within the internal logic of the character and artistically it needs to be readable. That's what they were critiquing in that tattoo.
Although Jesse is not my type of style. I can't deny how creative and unique his art is. He is one of those tattoo artists that when I see his work I already know it was his from the get go.
Funnily enough her co-owner, Teresa Sharpe, beat DJ in another TV tattoo competition years before called Best Ink. If they'd gone in together then they undoubtedly would have won.
Damn that story about his sister and his mama fighting to bring her back to the point she got medals in the special Olympics made me cry. The quiet struggles we all go through that builds us, it’s sad that it’s easy to relate but a reminder most all of us have something. Salute to you if you’re still standing, you’ve made it this far through all the hurt and pain in your past ✊🏾🙏🏾💜
Tbh Jesse should be drawing for Disney, if he wanted to give me that free hand piece... Nah man. He's a good artist but the creativity is too much to explain
I also admire the creativity but I wouldn't want that on my body. Also maybe it's just me but he sometimes comes across as if he's a bit full of himself/overly confident?
@@aft5264 Nope, most best artists are highly specialised in one style only. If you don't expect traditional artists to draw stuff out of their style, you shouldn't demand it from tattoo artists. That's why ink master is quite a stupid show - no artist is and should be a jack of all trades.
Tbh you probably can't really help someone that is drawing a completely fictional creature that he came up with from his own brain. Especially when you have no reference or stencil to go off of.
Bubba's flower was so dope! The saturation on that light pink was so solid, and the simplicity of the design showed how deliberate every line was. I'd love to have something like that on me.
9:32 For the second challenge i have to say Pins and Needles their tattoo is crispy clean and damn near perfection especially considering its placed from an actual drawing. Having said that there is no denying in my eyes that Unkindness Art their DJ set will make their canvas the most proud by far and truly deeply connect with them as a person so i cant call it any different then the DJ set being the winner for me.
I had to skip over the first one. Hated how nasty people were to Jesse. He is literally one of the best with his own style that no one else could dare to do. He's amazing.
I loved Jesse and he's a great artist, but he relies on his comfort zone of new school too much. He killed the Japanese tattoo, but he did new school for pretty much everything else including the haircut when it was based on line work
I'm not a tattoo artist so I might be speaking of inexperience and lack of knowledge of the artform. I'm a regular illustrator so I can at least recognize the amazing creature design and illustration skills he has. Dude basically created a super fun an interesting creature, with a back story, and rendered it to what seems to my eyes as near perfection.
Understandable but like previous comments said, he relied on his comfort zone too much and got cocky with it. He didn’t choose to showcase anything out of this world and because his style is so unique, even if someone wanted to help him, how could they? Anthony however was ready for a swan song and swung for the fences with his approach. It wasn’t perfect but I’d much rather have that eagle than the squirrel fish.
Out of all the ink master seasons I've watched, I absolutely love Rayn Ashley n Anthony.. They came with the least experience but damn did they slay.. Their tattoos r just gorgeous✨
Anthony being called the “weakest” and then winning Ink Master goes to show that not everyone’s opinions of you are valid. Dust yourself off and keep grinding!
literally the whole point of Jesse's tattoos is that its not supposed to be a creature that lives on this planet and the judges don't understand that. That bunny fish thing doesn't need to have perfect structure if it lives in space dude. I personally think Jesse deserves to win this season. he is a true artist.
to me it’s not that it’s bad or good, but tattoos are different from traditional art because you’re adding the body into this. some things are good and creative, but on that girl and it being such a crazy character, to me that’s what made it a bad tattoo. i think if he drew that out or painted it or whatever it would make the piece shine more for what it was.
@@madisonculp9070 what does it have to do with "on that girl"... I find his creature very creative, but too mashed up of everything with no sense of direction.
They literally said that when it came to actual technical application like saturation and etc he fell off the mark in certain areas. They acknowledged the impressive creativeness of the creature. Also if he was supposed to be the artist color guy of that season why does that tattoo look washed out. Also, he went back to what he’s comfortable with. He didn’t prove mastery over the different types. His opponent literally chose a style that they destroyed him on earlier in the season. Even Ryan on her season had to do color tattoo which she hated due to her being a black and white artist.
I actually totally would get that fish on my thigh. I like it. I can’t imagine how cool it would be if we came up with something together. I dig the eyes and the tentacles and I love the color palette.
jesse had a strong tattoo that smashed anthonys and the only real reason he got kicked was because the judges werent able to understand it. I also LOVE the fact that he comes up with a story for each creature
Jesse being eliminated was nonsense. It was literally a 5 on 1 situation where Anthony still didn't fix the issues he had with his Eagle. Had someone mentioned to Jesse that it needed to be more saturated, even a passing gesture he would have at least won that round. Would he have won the competition? probably not, but its ridiculous that any of the other artists had a say while either of them were tattooing.
They said it came down to technicalities. And Anthony had people wanting to help him because Jessie created something that is entirely his own style and you CAN'T help someone do something like that. No was behind Anthony telling him HOW to tattoo or correcting mistakes.
How are people still asking why Oliver isn't included anymore?? There's multiple comments every video and every time people say why. He did a whole costume of blackface and was creepy toward women. Pay attention to the replies of those comments or Google it yourself. He's been excluded for months now idk how some people are just noticing now 🙄
Well I wasn’t aware of it till now actually and I’ve been watching old Ink Master videos, are there any good videos or sources to watch that goes more in depth about him?
So sorry to the artist whose sister had anesthesia issues but so fantastic to hear that his mom didn’t give up on her daughter and she’s led a life the doctors never expected
Anthony story about his sister really touched me. On july 2,2016 my lil sister died due to the excessive anestisia that was given to her. She suffered 6 strokes and it got worst. She entered to a coma and after being on a coma for 6 hours she suffered the last stroke. The hospital tried to deny the fact that my lil sister died from the excessive anestisia thanks to the autopsy we got the truth. RIP CELIA SOSA
I agree... when I get a tat, I want it to mean something to me. it will be part of me forever. not something that means something to the artist. I cant imagine people seeing that tat and asking me what it was all about or the meaning behind it...
Laura is one of my all time favorite contestants. And her octopus here is incredible in the color gradient of the red how those suction cups pop. I'd wear that as is. But still surprised the judges didn't even mention the weird shoddy holidays all over those blue diamonds
@@sbbperson lmao really 🤣 ya I read through some other comments and did a quick Google search...fuckin ridiculous how people care so much about what one guy thought was funny 15 years ago...like do they thoroughly vet all the artists they have on their show, like go through old tweets, their Myspace and Facebook pages etc lol all of us at one point have said or done stupid racist shit, this whole cancel culture world is dumb. coming from someone who is a "POC" 😂😂😂
@@MrsMuffin11 speak for yourself LMAO some people were raised right and have not been racist 😭😭😭 justify it how you want but don't drag everyone else into it
christian and cleen aren't really contestants anymore 😂 by being on the show so much and doing so well they're just legends and so much higher in my view than anyone else
If they did it by season, captioned each challenge, just posted quick clips. Might work. Cut out explaining the challenge. Cut out the work of drawing, tattooing, working with clients. Cut out judging. Might work.
@@rachael_g_621 Yeah, but I don’t think they would do that, I feel like people like seeing the tattoos being done, and what the judges think, I know I do.
I wish anthony would have talked about his sister's strength and bravery like he did his mom.. going from a vegetable to winning medals.. girls a badass.
I will say Jesse does the eyes SO beautiful…only wish the creature had been more lovable I guess but the backstory made me smile and like it a bit more.
Adds the freehand Octopus to my list of "tattoos I'd get on me". Laura's tattoo, Kelley's Day of the Dead girl and the Lady Pirate back piece from on of the finales.
This is June of 2021 and the first time I'm ever hearing about Antony's sister survival and progress. I haven't finished watching the video but wow and that's amazing for her.

Best artist has crazy imagination and creativity, but technicality and consistency is a big thing in tattoo industry, but Jesse's imagination is so amazing as an artist
Isn't line weight a thing in tattooing? I mean in drawing there is but...i think lines need to have a dynamic movement some places thick and some places feathered out
I love Anthony ❤️❤️ I would love a tat done by him! He is super talented, and driven. I would give him free run of my skin lol not in a nasty way! (Get your head outta the gutter 😂) but would let him damn near draw as he pleased. It would be a true art piece...

That bunny fish thing doesn't need to have perfect structure if it lives in space dude. I personally think Jesse deserves to win this season. he is a true artist.
to me it’s not that it’s bad or good, but tattoos are different from traditional art because you’re adding the body into this. some things are good and creative, but on that girl and it being such a crazy character, to me that’s what made it a bad tattoo. i think if he drew that out or painted it or whatever it would make the piece shine more for what it was.
@@madisonculp9070 what does it have to do with "on that girl"... I find his creature very creative, but too mashed up of everything with no sense of direction.
@@TheMastermilch how is the canvas/customer not relevant in all tattoos? If you don’t want art that suits the person it’s on, do it on a paper canvas.
He’s a one trick pony, not an ink master.
They literally said that when it came to actual technical application like saturation and etc he fell off the mark in certain areas. They acknowledged the impressive creativeness of the creature. Also if he was supposed to be the artist color guy of that season why does that tattoo look washed out. Also, he went back to what he’s comfortable with. He didn’t prove mastery over the different types. His opponent literally chose a style that they destroyed him on earlier in the season.
Even Ryan on her season had to do color tattoo which she hated due to her being a black and white artist.
You must have Jesse back on the next season, the guy is a beast! A one of a kind artist
I actually totally would get that fish on my thigh. I like it. I can’t imagine how cool it would be if we came up with something together. I dig the eyes and the tentacles and I love the color palette.
Those two at the end are heckin’ wild. Beautiful tattoos.
jesse had a strong tattoo that smashed anthonys and the only real reason he got kicked was because the judges werent able to understand it. I also LOVE the fact that he comes up with a story for each creature
Yes, such an artist
Fr judges are so bias
No they critiqued his technical application
@@drebodollaz3504 his application was beautiful
I agree... But imagine having that tattooed on you, and anyone asking what it means 😅 tattoos to me are personal and mean something.
My chest tattoo was done free hand. It’s amazing! I know nobody else will have this exact tattoo. Truly a piece of art.
Jesse being eliminated was nonsense. It was literally a 5 on 1 situation where Anthony still didn't fix the issues he had with his Eagle. Had someone mentioned to Jesse that it needed to be more saturated, even a passing gesture he would have at least won that round. Would he have won the competition? probably not, but its ridiculous that any of the other artists had a say while either of them were tattooing.
He had some many people against him too meanwhile Anthony had like 5 guys helping him out.
They said it came down to technicalities.
And Anthony had people wanting to help him because Jessie created something that is entirely his own style and you CAN'T help someone do something like that.
No was behind Anthony telling him HOW to tattoo or correcting mistakes.
How are people still asking why Oliver isn't included anymore?? There's multiple comments every video and every time people say why. He did a whole costume of blackface and was creepy toward women. Pay attention to the replies of those comments or Google it yourself. He's been excluded for months now idk how some people are just noticing now 🙄
Well I wasn’t aware of it till now actually and I’ve been watching old Ink Master videos, are there any good videos or sources to watch that goes more in depth about him?
@@Mooncrest0 if you Google 'what happened with Oliver Peck' you'll find a bunch of articles about it
I didn’t care. People come and go, but thanks for the enlightenment.
Some people can get away with it, some people cannot
I think this is amazing. I can't even put things like this on paper, let alone skin!
I find Jesses character absolutely adorable, I would love for it to be tattooed on me. I really want a tattoo from him
Dave: Draw your tattoo..
Contestants: 😐
Dave: Freehand..
Contestants: 😧😧😧
Dave: No stencils..
Contestants: 😨😨😨
Dave: No.. references.
Contestants: 😩😩😩
Noooo... 🕳👄🕳
Well done 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTS!
Lol!
And mostly they kill it. In a good way
So sorry to the artist whose sister had anesthesia issues but so fantastic to hear that his mom didn’t give up on her daughter and she’s led a life the doctors never expected
Anthony story about his sister really touched me.
On july 2,2016 my lil sister died due to the excessive anestisia that was given to her. She suffered 6 strokes and it got worst. She entered to a coma and after being on a coma for 6 hours she suffered the last stroke. The hospital tried to deny the fact that my lil sister died from the excessive anestisia thanks to the autopsy we got the truth.
RIP CELIA SOSA
That's so terrible! I'm so sorry for your loss!!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace Celia Sosa 🙏
🙏🏾 sending love and hugs! Rip Celia Sosa♥️
Did you sue for malpractice?
Damn thinking of all the people who can’t afford an autopsy so can’t get that closure breaks my heart. RIP
Props for including captions on your videos and almost immediately
Laura's tattoo was legit wow i felt like i could see the sea in the eye of the octopus it felt like it had a personality
I would love that owl tatoo, it was amazing!
Laura’s tattoo was beautiful, I loved the color
Jesse’s tattoos are technically applied well but I can’t imagine wanting one of these googly eyed things on my body but to each their own I guess.
I agree... when I get a tat, I want it to mean something to me. it will be part of me forever. not something that means something to the artist. I cant imagine people seeing that tat and asking me what it was all about or the meaning behind it...
Jason’s owl tattoo was amazing
Laura is one of my all time favorite contestants. And her octopus here is incredible in the color gradient of the red how those suction cups pop. I'd wear that as is. But still surprised the judges didn't even mention the weird shoddy holidays all over those blue diamonds
The video editor deserves a raise for effectively cutting out Oliver's face but not his voice in all these videos. Lol
Took me forever to notice we don’t see his face.
why dont they show his face?
@@MrsMuffin11 he was fired from the show when pictures of him being blackface went viral.
@@sbbperson lmao really 🤣 ya I read through some other comments and did a quick Google search...fuckin ridiculous how people care so much about what one guy thought was funny 15 years ago...like do they thoroughly vet all the artists they have on their show, like go through old tweets, their Myspace and Facebook pages etc lol all of us at one point have said or done stupid racist shit, this whole cancel culture world is dumb. coming from someone who is a "POC" 😂😂😂
@@MrsMuffin11 speak for yourself LMAO some people were raised right and have not been racist 😭😭😭 justify it how you want but don't drag everyone else into it
Love jesses creativity and that he has a story about his fish/bunny thing
I like how the worst freehand tattoos and the best freehand tattoos video both start off with Anthony and Jesse’s tattoos lol
That eagle's foot is messed up, suprised that the judges didn't mention it.
christian and cleen aren't really contestants anymore 😂 by being on the show so much and doing so well they're just legends and so much higher in my view than anyone else
I really really like that thing Jesse drew, I’d get something like that, I love it and the fun story he made up for it, I love how creative it is ❤
How about you guys release a compilation of every tattoo on ink master :)
Because the video would be hours long.
@@madmadpoopoo1228 good
If they did it by season, captioned each challenge, just posted quick clips. Might work.
Cut out explaining the challenge. Cut out the work of drawing, tattooing, working with clients. Cut out judging. Might work.
@@rachael_g_621 Yeah, but I don’t think they would do that, I feel like people like seeing the tattoos being done, and what the judges think, I know I do.
@@rachael_g_621 Yes! That exactly
I wish anthony would have talked about his sister's strength and bravery like he did his mom.. going from a vegetable to winning medals.. girls a badass.
RIGHT?”
I wonder if he did and the producers left it out
Can I say I love Anthony and Laura, they are so calm.
I will say Jesse does the eyes SO beautiful…only wish the creature had been more lovable I guess but the backstory made me smile and like it a bit more.
love how so many people are like "i loooove Jesse's tattoo but would NEVER want that on me" XD
It would be great as a poster but you'd have to have a pretty unique style to be able to pull that off on your skin.
Adds the freehand Octopus to my list of "tattoos I'd get on me". Laura's tattoo, Kelley's Day of the Dead girl and the Lady Pirate back piece from on of the finales.
This is June of 2021 and the first time I'm ever hearing about Antony's sister survival and progress. I haven't finished watching the video but wow and that's amazing for her.
If there's one person out of every season of Ink Master who I would sit in the chair for, it's DJ. That man is a freaking master.
A lot of tattoos that the judges dont like I usually end up liking 🤣
Honestly, Jesse's has that crazy off-the-wall type of style, that I would absolutely love to get

Hope this helps (:
No
They were already in the video, lol.
Jesse is a prime example of what society does to people they don't understand. I love his style!
That story about his sister gave me chills.
Wow
i will never forgive them for sending jesse home. weird rabbit fish octopus creature, you have my whole heart
Jessie is amazing for pulling off a creature so eccentric from the top of his head, he should have won. I love that tattoo!
I actually would get a tattoo from Jesse. I like his weird and unusual style.
i would too
I wouldn’t. I think it’s too feminine. I don’t want to be a 40 year old man with cartoon characters on my body.
@@aft5264 did you just call a tattoo feminine
@@aft5264 I could see the argument for it being "childish" in design, but what about that style makes it in any way "feminine"?
@@aft5264 Your masculinity must be really weak if cartoons would make you feel feminine
Something always hits different with freehand art. Digital art is cool but free hand is even cooler.
Deanna’s tattoo is very beautiful. I would love to have that on me
"Ive been waiting for this challenge. This is my style. Im walking away with this challenge"...everytime someone says this.....they choke!!!!
Do you think Navarro ever gets bored of saying 'no more ink'
Dave Navarro is so handsome. He looks like a Spanish pirate. Gorgeous.
Extremely handsome!
Best artist has crazy imagination and creativity, but technicality and consistency is a big thing in tattoo industry, but Jesse's imagination is so amazing as an artist
I love these "best" videos, they're so great and positive
Anthony's freehand eagle had fish scales for feathers on the back and at the inner top of the wings.
Isn't line weight a thing in tattooing? I mean in drawing there is but...i think lines need to have a dynamic movement some places thick and some places feathered out
I love Jeese’s tattoo so much it’s so creative
Damn, all these tattoos are great! Imagine without the time constraints!
Awe. Anthony's story brought me to tears.
I love Anthony ❤️❤️ I would love a tat done by him! He is super talented, and driven. I would give him free run of my skin lol not in a nasty way! (Get your head outta the gutter 😂) but would let him damn near draw as he pleased. It would be a true art piece...
He could have free run on me 😆
Jesse is a really good artist. I feel bad he didn’t make it twice.
Deanna's was sooo gorgeous
That eagle is insane. Can you imagine drawing that from your head. That's insane
Given the "functionality" of the fish, I'd like to point out that sunfish also dont really "function".
