Mike should have definitely not been sent home, it was a beautiful atomically correct pitbull just too much black. Lalos samurai was just hideous all around and the other guy you could still see his cover up leaking through. That should have been automatically disqualified, they are judging cover ups not shading
I think the major issue they had was that it looks like a coverup. Which is fine for most of us. We aren’t going to be judged on the tattoos we have by experts who have seen tens of thousands. It will just be average people who say “oh cool pitbull.” But in this competition you don’t want your cover up tattoos to look like coverups. They should look like original tattoos and the lack of shading in areas that would almost 100% have them kind of gave him away. All that being said, I think of the tattoos he was up against, this was not the worst by any means and I do agree that he did not deserve to be sent home when compared to those. But I believe that is the issue from a cover up perspective that the judges had with Mike’s.
@@TheGravityAxe That's an ongoing issue I have with the judges. They give people critiques like "the colors/details/etc will run together when it heals" Then never take healing into consideration when they critique something else for being too dark. I wish they would do an episode kinda like they they do redemptions where they bring back the artists, judges and canvases. Then re-critique the tattoos that have changed the most. Almost like a "where are they now?" Episode.
Thought the same. Compared to other stuff shown that was considered the worst, it wasn’t _that_ bad. I don’t even like dogs enough to have one on me, but I’d take that one if I had to.
Yh the cover up was good. I can see why the voted against it though. The other tattoos didn't have any major issues so it could have been any of them. Its just that the pitbull one didn't meet the requirements of the judges. Judges don't like a lot of black, personally I prefer tattoos with black/dark colours and bold outlines. I don't like the ones with a lot of colour and too much detail. I just feel that in 10 - 15 years the dark bold ones will retain their look way better than colourful detailed ones. As a side note, I think the samurai one deserved to go home way more. He made such a cool design look lame and boring
I really don't understand the judges. They bash Kevin for not putting outlines on a realistic tattoo, but they sent Pony Wave to the bottom for putting outlines on another realistic tattoo.
It’s totally scripting and choosing who wins ahead of time. It’s gotta be. They’re so hypocritical of their own judging it’s like they’re unpredictable. It’s fake af. Not cool at all tbh.
Telling that realism tattoo will be blob in year or two 😂 I have similar size realism flower 2+ years old and it’s not a f*ng blob. It has faded little like all my others have, but it still looks good.
@@jeffreyklima7612 traditional isn’t easy. Artists always mess up on ink master. And Nunez has some good work. Even then that’s like a coach who didn’t have a great pro career can’t critique his players.
Mike's pitbull cover-up was gorgeous. Yes, for a bit more realism, it should've had some light or white down the chest. But the work itself was really well done, and that dog is absolutely stunning. It was NOT the worst tattoo of the day.
Ive always wondered why the judges are chosen, just because they have some renown does not mean they are good at judging tattoos. The pit bull actually accomplished its goal the others did not. The jaguar is gorgeous i rarely understand why they make the decisions they do
@@cashmnm1060 their opinions are based off pre picked winners. What was wrong with the pit? Black pits exist and the cover up was an actual cover up while the others had shit showing through their cover up. Make it make sense?
They claim to be great tattoo artists but I haven't seen much of what they've done that looks any better than most of the people on the show 🤷 I'm pretty sure they're more just tattoo enthusiastic and known in some type of way relating to tattoos so that makes them feel like they can speak on other people's art
THE DUALITY WITH JUDGES - With Mike's tattoo's they said it was too dark, without considering that when it heals it'll definitely look lighter and nicer(and honestly it was a pretty good pitbull, even with the lack of shading and contrast), meanwhile with Kevin's they insisted that when it heals it'll fade away, even tho that things is one of the prettiest tattoos I've seen in this show. Like pls if you're gonna judge without considerating the healing, then always do it, not only when it feels convenient.
its really a nonissue. with ink colors labelled. may lead to some odd looking colors sometimes but if you are aware its there and take the time to work through it its not that big a deal. as long as you know your color theory and shading. he said partially colorblind and based on statistics being that the most common type of colorblindness is deuteranopia i assume he has some level of deuteranomaly (partial red/green colorblindness) which is the same kind i have. i do art just fine. just read the labels and use common sense like knowing grass is green. he probably did not say anything because most people have the wrong idea that colorblindness is seeing black and white or something.
I love Mike's cover-up. I understand what was said about adding a little grey on the chest of the pup, but of the three, and out of quite a few of the tattoos I've seen on this show, it was definitely well done and very beautiful. He shouldn't have been eliminated.
@@dirtysouth9222 yeah that last part about actually covering it up should of been the main factor in his elimination since another guy later in the vid got eliminated cus he didn’t cover it up fully
I disagree with the judges about the Pitbull, it looks like a Pitbull, it looks like an actual dog, I can't see a tattoo under that. I'd be proud to wear that pitbull. Have they ever seen a black pittie? They look like that. The girl's, Maddie, was super cool. Sure she went hard and hurt the guy, but it looks good. The baboon looks like crap, you can see the original tattoo under it. The leopard is exquisite, it looks like a leopard. I love Holly's owl, that was so cool. I think the judges are a bit biased.
Yeah I don't hate Maddie's. The dragon is nice it's just the towers I didn't care for. And Mike was so screwed over. Lalo's samurai and Tray's dragon was 10x worse to me.
Unfortunately the only reason the roses and skull are bad is because without a black outline there is no carbon fiber holding the color together, so the colors will spread and bleed together and look bad after it heals :( it is a beautiful tattoo though
Why the actual hell is Kevin on here. I get that outlines are better but there are plenty of realism artists that make long-lasting good tattoos. That one looked amazing
If i get a tattoo that fades within 2 years i’m going to be pissed. Ink isn’t cheap and a tattoo like that in my city would be well over a grand. I don’t want to keep spending hundreds of dollars every other year to keep my reds looking like reds... The judges are correct.
@@ericaallisonc I agree, but from my understanding certain styles take certain care. Outside of a competition setting, a good tattoo artist would discuses the upkeep of that tattoo with you down the road. However in a competition setting, compared to his rivals? I'd rater have a high maintenance tattoo than an ugly one. Just my opinion though.
I think they chose him to go home bc the tattoo wouldn't heal well bc it's just the color and no outline. I also like it but it would probobly fade away after some time
@@johnnykarate57 I want to see what it looks like in 10 to 15 years. I just covered up a 34 year tattoo the other day. Color was almost completely gone and the only thing left of it was the outline and black shading. Hint of color was all that was left of it. I didn't realize it was that bad until I saw the before pic my artist took before putting the stencil on.
Exactly. When this came out, I had already know him and have been tattooed at the shop he was at a dozen or so times. He did a nice, big, solid memorial piece for my dad about ten years ago now too. Still looks great. He wasn't treated fairly on this show tbh and that was a common opinion around the area. I think his lack of wild personality and controversy was a part of it. He didn't deserve to go down on episode 2 when seeing the tattoos he was up against.
Am i the only one who has no clue how Kevin’s skull was considered bottom 2?? Ik there were no outlines but that rose was practically photo real. Like legitimately photo realistic.
Compared to everyone’s he just had more technical problems and the judges just really beat him up for the no outlines because then it would fade away and just look messy or sumn
She’s so arrogant, instead of focusing on the canvas back creases that made some of the owls lines disconnect, she should take the time to worry about the deep wrinkles on her face that make her look 20 yrs older than she actually is
It won’t hold well in the long run. The application is 100x better than Boneface’s vile ‘surfer’ with the fucked up arm and fully visible original tat tho😂😂😂
@@esmin2400 yeah, I feel like they definitely didn't take all aspects into it. I'd much rather have a gorgeous tattoo I'll have to touch up in a few years than one I will immediately need to laser and cover up (which will cost as much as the upkeep of the much better tattoo).
It will fade much faster but so do all tattoos with colour. Outline or not the colours inside the outline fade, so judging a tattoo on that when it's common and stylistic is unfair.
Worst Coverups shows a thumbnail of one of the most gorgeous looking Leopards on ink master, I mean the eyes are such a beautiful blue that it has depth?
5:19 "Towers are way off. The right side of the castle's taking a left." ...Have they never seen a castle drawn that way before? I thought it was a commonly seen style, that exaggerated inward slant of a castle from a bug's-eye view. I know I've seen it in media where the castle's supposed to look ominous and intimidating. I think it works well here; gives the tattoo more depth.
The issue wasn’t that she tried to use perspective, it was that she did it poorly. The right pillar is tilted too far to the left for the perspective that the viewer has of the castle.
Even with a "wonky" style of showing building like that there are still perspective rules that need to be followed and she just didn't. Even for a bug/fish eye perspective there are rules that make it look realistic and she completely missed the mark. Non artist may not notice this but as an artist for many years and especially perspective artist you can see at first glance that her buildings were just not good.
I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree with you. If she had both castle sides taking a left, it'd be better, but still pretty bad. Her perspectives really poor, and its basics for drawing
The lines do converge to a single point. I measured with a ruler. so technically, perspective is not off. What is wrong is that the the convergence point is not at the center of the image. It is above the left tower. One need to stare at the right tower peak to feel natural about this image.
Mikes Dog is gorgeous, I think the only thing he needs improvement on is small details but apart from that he didn’t deserve to be in the bottom three.
I really loved Kevin's tattoo without the outlines and glad he wasn't sent home because of it. It makes it look even more clean and detailed. As far as Janelle, that leopard was so cute. I'd definitely wear something like that. I didn't like the color platte that Holly chose. Those colors just didn't mix for me.
Would definitely wear the realistic roses & skull and the jaguar tattoo, considering they're free! I understand maintenance may be an issue but I'd rather have it retouched in a few years than having a permanent ugly coverup. That's just me though.
legit lost all respect for these judges when they ripped into the skull and roses. what photorealistic image should have _outlines_ ?? on top of that the tattoo looks amazing, putting him in bottom just because of outlines is unreal
Janelle's leopard was a little stronger than Holly's in my opinion. As an artist, I can tell you one of the first color combos you learn to avoid is red and purple. There are obviously ways to make them work together, but the fact that that owl had the same toned red and purple packed next to each other made it look not only low in contrast, but tonal as well. This, in my opinion, made it harder to detect that the design was an owl. While her lines were stronger, her color scheme was a little less legible and striking than Janelle's, and I think that should've been pointed out, and taken into consideration in the elimination process. But the two did their best, and I still commend them and their talent for covering up the old work!
I feel so bad for the castle and dragon cover up. His skin is sooo red and inflamed I can’t imagine how that must feel! The ink is so dark you can tell her needles absolutely chewed up his leg.
Yeah, it looked amazing and everything, but according to the judges, you can't do only one of the requirements. I think the challenge was to do contrast or something and the contestants had to do that with the opaque grey and not having so much black. Though Mike successfully covered it up, it didn't meet the standards for that challenge. But still.... Gotta give the man credit for the cover-up AND the canvas liking it
Janelle took it so well, better then I’ve ever seen. That jaguar was beautiful, if anything the owl should’ve been eliminated. Nikki has proven over all of her seasons that once she decides she doesn’t like someone, she has to destroy them and their accomplishments. I love her, but these girl deserved better.
@UClNR4wc8-DV4pYHpejoOWiw hahaha. Can't go wrong with that. He does do that a lot and it is kind of hard to take a guy seriously talking about what looks masculine on someone who is wearing eyeliner.
@@modaciouslav4792 just look at his portfolio. A lot of the lines are hella janky and the saturation really varies between pieces. I just really think he’s full of himself. A lot of the artists on this show are so much more talented than him
It’s not a bad concept, sometimes the judges have favorites so it’s good to have outside opinion and also opinion of people with different criteria for judging. Which is often more about weather the artist did as was asked which is important but which they judges often don’t care about, or think about how visible things are like with the dragon and the castle.
To be quite honest there are quite a few episodes where I have to question to judge's decision. A lot of the time it feels like they eliminate artists for drama factor rather than skill. But what more can you expect from mediocre reality tv🤷♂️
the very last woman who went home for the big cat colored tattoo WAS WRONG that's one of the best tattoos iv seen on this show how could they send her home
I still can't believe Mike had to leave, I understand that fact that the color pallette may have been a bit too much, but it was definitely a lot better than the jacked up Samurai, still blows my mind how that thing passed-
it'll look a lot better once it healed up properly. the black would turn grey and make it look softer, so the intense black wasn't all that bad, plus it was still easy to read and know what it is.
funny how they eliminated mike even though he actually did a cover up when trey did not, but then they eliminate both jim and king rucc for not being able to cover the tattoo. and mike genuinely had a good tattoo
The girl with the purple hair in the end really put me off, you can be critical without shouting over everyone and trying to be the meanest. Like I get its a tough industry and a tough show but c'mon
It’s really old fashioned and lame for them to put someone in the bottom 3 for not doing outlines :| plenty of artists don’t do outlines and the tattoos hold up well
I don't know anything about tattoos, but I gotta ask how was Mike expected to cover up a black tattoo with other colors? Maybe some shading, but the dog was a great idea, sentimental to the canvas, and it didn't look bad.
If the canvas genuinely loves the tattoo, especially when it comes to a coverup, that should count. Like if the judges can tell that yeah the tattoo is still clearly showig through, it should be judged for that, but also count it in if the canvas loves the work.
Always had a problem with the time constricting. You can't judge rushed art. This does not show them at 100% because they are not timed in their own shop. It's such a werid choice to time it. But that's just my opinion.
I get what you mean, but then again they could spend hours and hours perfecting it... I've got 2 tattoo one took 25 minutes the other an hour, so I think 6 hours is a long time 😂
The judges are just nitpicking. Seems like the deciding factor is just lines and lines and lines which are hardly noticeable. I wonder how good these judges are. Curious to see their work
I felt so bad for Kevin. He's going for realism (which he did beautifully), and the judges knock him for not doing outlines. For the purpose he nailed it! So glad he didn't get axed.
I still think they should have sent Maddie home first instead of Frank that season. She never got any better and almost all of her work was in the bottom every week until she was cut.
0:09 or near the end of the video Purple hair girl - That cover up would need a cover up Other dude - I'm behind you Me - What was wrong with the cover up? The owl looks fine. Like the only real issue was the crease and that was something you couldn't help. I guess the branch as well but that's a minor issue Why was the purple haired person so critical to the owl? I'd be happy with that tattoo as its not nearly as bad as some other cover ups
Kevin Laroy's tattoo is stunning. I'm thankful to learn about the importance of outlines on realism as it makes me rethink the next and most important tat I want.
That jaguar is great imo. It cover up the old tattoo well and even though there are flaw I would be happy with that on my body, its dope. There are so many worse one they should have pick.
It must be seriously awful to get a coverup only for the coverup to be bad as well. Coverups are bigger than the original and if the artist screws up your only hope at that point is laser which is horrible! I specifically have that surfer coverup in my mind as I type this 😭😬
Some of these decisions are mind boggling. I think the judges get TOO technical sometimes, to the point where they can't see a hideous, terrible tattoo if it were staring at them in the face.
@@adoriharris9988 Paramount wanted to Focus all their $ on their nerwork and making movies. The only surviving show Is Bar Rescue. Maybe in 2022 or 2023 after the pandemic Is over we'll see a new season. Also the Oliver Peck thing gave the show a bad image.
i feel like the most important thing is how the canvas feels about the tattoo, not some random dude who wants a piece of art done on another person's body to be perfect
I requested the man tattooing me did not do an outline and he let me know how awful it would eventually look and I trusted his judgement. It takes a lot of trust to get tattooed and I just always listen to the artist and I'm very happy with my tattoos. But wow did that skull/roses tattoo look AMAZING without those black lines 🙌 too bad it will turn to mud some day😭
They’re getting a free tattoo from artists that are (usually) talented it really wouldn’t take that much convincing for someone to go on the show especially when you consider how expensive tattoos can be with the details these people demand
i think the roses with the skull is absolutely beautiful. he's right, i think, that outlines wouldn't make any sense there, that would take away a lot from the realism
That baboon coverup was awful! I thought the Jaguar, owl are beautiful i would be happy with having those as a cover up! Even the black and white pitball is good
What, they sent that girl home for that leopard tatoo? That was gorgeous, and there was nothing wrong with the lines! Dave Navarro has a few wobbly lines between his ears, apparently...
I always felt bad for Mike. He's a good dude and did his best and that dog ended up way better than that janky samurai.
And he showed genuine concern for the client by taking what they could handle into accountz
I feel like this show very badly discriminates I’ve seen it multiple times on this bullshit ass show and most tattoo artist u ask they can’t stand ink magazine

I was annoyed on that one. Like your skin gets irritated after a tattoo, it being red like that is pretty common
@@sebastienratard8189 idk about that red
I think hers was worse than Frank’s. Looking at it from a fading out/removal standpoint, I’d think the baboon has a better shot at being redone.

@@ericaallisonc I agree, but from my understanding certain styles take certain care. Outside of a competition setting, a good tattoo artist would discuses the upkeep of that tattoo with you down the road.
However in a competition setting, compared to his rivals? I'd rater have a high maintenance tattoo than an ugly one. Just my opinion though.
The skull and roses one looks actually really really good holy damn
yeah they did him dirty
I think they chose him to go home bc the tattoo wouldn't heal well bc it's just the color and no outline. I also like it but it would probobly fade away after some time
im so glad other ppl think so… i was like… wtf his is beautiful
@@johnnykarate57 I want to see what it looks like in 10 to 15 years. I just covered up a 34 year tattoo the other day. Color was almost completely gone and the only thing left of it was the outline and black shading. Hint of color was all that was left of it. I didn't realize it was that bad until I saw the before pic my artist took before putting the stencil on.
The dog doesn’t look bad at all
Yeah neither did the first one..
Exactly. When this came out, I had already know him and have been tattooed at the shop he was at a dozen or so times. He did a nice, big, solid memorial piece for my dad about ten years ago now too. Still looks great. He wasn't treated fairly on this show tbh and that was a common opinion around the area. I think his lack of wild personality and controversy was a part of it. He didn't deserve to go down on episode 2 when seeing the tattoos he was up against.
I didn't think it was bad either. I actually really liked the doggy tattoo and Lalo's
I agree. But i understand what the judges are saying.
@@cheyennegentry438 what?? Omgoodness lalo’s was god awful!! 😂
Am i the only one who has no clue how Kevin’s skull was considered bottom 2?? Ik there were no outlines but that rose was practically photo real. Like legitimately photo realistic.
Compared to everyone’s he just had more technical problems and the judges just really beat him up for the no outlines because then it would fade away and just look messy or sumn
A lot of “photo realistic” style tattoos with no outlines age really poorly, they just sort of become a blob of color overtime.
@@artisanaltoast9085 they are good for the repeat business providing lifetime touch ups. ;)
Regardless of what the judges say, the client's opinion of their tat is the most important thing.
something about the fails are more entertaining than the better tattoos on the show
I agree 👍💯
yeah I think so too, but it's gotta suck for the artists who did them
Because you ain't the one wearing it 🤷🏻♂️
@@Pinky_Galaxee q
ScarlettPumpkin true 😔😔
Nicky needs to get off her high-horse. The last two cover-ups we're really well done.
She’s so arrogant, instead of focusing on the canvas back creases that made some of the owls lines disconnect, she should take the time to worry about the deep wrinkles on her face that make her look 20 yrs older than she actually is

Idk maybe it's my lack of tattoo knowledge but I feel like Kevin should not have gone up just bc he didn't have outlines 🤨
I think they take into account longevity of the tattoo that’s why
It won’t hold well in the long run. The application is 100x better than Boneface’s vile ‘surfer’ with the fucked up arm and fully visible original tat tho😂😂😂
@@esmin2400 yeah, I feel like they definitely didn't take all aspects into it. I'd much rather have a gorgeous tattoo I'll have to touch up in a few years than one I will immediately need to laser and cover up (which will cost as much as the upkeep of the much better tattoo).
It will fade much faster but so do all tattoos with colour. Outline or not the colours inside the outline fade, so judging a tattoo on that when it's common and stylistic is unfair.
The skull and rose realism one is stunning. I know no outlines blah blah but it is a masterpiece
Whoever edits the show absolutely loves that awful “intense moment” sound effect. Can be so unbearable and take you out of the show.
It's in Beyond Scared Straight and other shows. Annoying, as bad as the Wilhelm these days.
They also use the exact same sounds in Kitchen Nightmares. It's so over the top I just can't take it serious
Same with Gordon Ramsey shows it’s funny hearing the effects when I least expect it
Lmao I didn’t even noticed it but now that you mentioned it it’s like every 10 seconds Hahahah
They use it in Bar rescue all the time, I hate it.
Worst Coverups shows a thumbnail of one of the most gorgeous looking Leopards on ink master, I mean the eyes are such a beautiful blue that it has depth?
How does Franks baboon tattoo look 15 years old already?
That’s a plus to me. I think they’ll be able to cover/rework/redo fairly soon.
5:19 "Towers are way off. The right side of the castle's taking a left." ...Have they never seen a castle drawn that way before? I thought it was a commonly seen style, that exaggerated inward slant of a castle from a bug's-eye view. I know I've seen it in media where the castle's supposed to look ominous and intimidating. I think it works well here; gives the tattoo more depth.
The issue wasn’t that she tried to use perspective, it was that she did it poorly. The right pillar is tilted too far to the left for the perspective that the viewer has of the castle.
Even with a "wonky" style of showing building like that there are still perspective rules that need to be followed and she just didn't. Even for a bug/fish eye perspective there are rules that make it look realistic and she completely missed the mark. Non artist may not notice this but as an artist for many years and especially perspective artist you can see at first glance that her buildings were just not good.
No, the perspective is wrong.
I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree with you. If she had both castle sides taking a left, it'd be better, but still pretty bad. Her perspectives really poor, and its basics for drawing
The lines do converge to a single point. I measured with a ruler. so technically, perspective is not off.
What is wrong is that the the convergence point is not at the center of the image. It is above the left tower. One need to stare at the right tower peak to feel natural about this image.
Mikes Dog is gorgeous, I think the only thing he needs improvement on is small details but apart from that he didn’t deserve to be in the bottom three.
I really loved Kevin's tattoo without the outlines and glad he wasn't sent home because of it. It makes it look even more clean and detailed. As far as Janelle, that leopard was so cute. I'd definitely wear something like that. I didn't like the color platte that Holly chose. Those colors just didn't mix for me.
Would definitely wear the realistic roses & skull and the jaguar tattoo, considering they're free! I understand maintenance may be an issue but I'd rather have it retouched in a few years than having a permanent ugly coverup. That's just me though.
Yes! it's the first time I see a delicate cover up!
legit lost all respect for these judges when they ripped into the skull and roses. what photorealistic image should have _outlines_ ?? on top of that the tattoo looks amazing, putting him in bottom just because of outlines is unreal
Did you even watch the video? The colour is going to bleed in a few years
@@oz_jones no they’re hypocrites, in a later season they were mad that a realistic tattoo had outlines lol
Janelle's leopard was a little stronger than Holly's in my opinion. As an artist, I can tell you one of the first color combos you learn to avoid is red and purple. There are obviously ways to make them work together, but the fact that that owl had the same toned red and purple packed next to each other made it look not only low in contrast, but tonal as well. This, in my opinion, made it harder to detect that the design was an owl. While her lines were stronger, her color scheme was a little less legible and striking than Janelle's, and I think that should've been pointed out, and taken into consideration in the elimination process. But the two did their best, and I still commend them and their talent for covering up the old work!
Yea I agree, Janelle did amazing
I hated the colors on that owl. Like a bad 90s Halloween decoration
I agree, her leopard didn't look anywhere near as unappealing as the owl.
Janelle shouldn’t have gone home. Her tattoo looked nice
Omg I love your pfp
Janelle's jaguar looked dope. I would wear it!
I feel so bad for the castle and dragon cover up. His skin is sooo red and inflamed I can’t imagine how that must feel! The ink is so dark you can tell her needles absolutely chewed up his leg.
That rose and skull were gorgeous, shouldn’t have been judged as they were, an outline can be easily added at any time
The best cover up in this video is Ink Master trying to edit out Oliver Peck
why tho ?
@@Rotten.Patatas the toothpick? 😂
@@Rotten.Patatas he did blackface years ago
@@artisticalex1206 really? That’s it?
@@helloman3676 yes
Judges say anything bad/negative
The violin in the background "my time has come"
LMFAOOOO
the skull and roses, and the pit bull weren’t bad at all
Skull and roses looked great, but the judges issue was how it would fade without outline and it’s hard to know in advance
Mikes dog was awesome and it completed the cover up challenge, he got eliminated unjustly
Yeah, it looked amazing and everything, but according to the judges, you can't do only one of the requirements. I think the challenge was to do contrast or something and the contestants had to do that with the opaque grey and not having so much black. Though Mike successfully covered it up, it didn't meet the standards for that challenge. But still.... Gotta give the man credit for the cover-up AND the canvas liking it
Janelle took it so well, better then I’ve ever seen. That jaguar was beautiful, if anything the owl should’ve been eliminated. Nikki has proven over all of her seasons that once she decides she doesn’t like someone, she has to destroy them and their accomplishments. I love her, but these girl deserved better.
It's hard to take Chris Nunez seriously after i saw the tattoos he does on his insta
The dude is full of himself. He eliminates people because HE doesn't like the tattoo. I can't stand any of the judges except Dave.
@UClNR4wc8-DV4pYHpejoOWiw hahaha. Can't go wrong with that. He does do that a lot and it is kind of hard to take a guy seriously talking about what looks masculine on someone who is wearing eyeliner.
@@goober5713 dave has some of the worst looking tattoos ever lol
I went to IG bc of your comment and only saw 1 tattoo that he did and it was a few years ago.. so I’m a little confused 🤷🏼♀️
@@modaciouslav4792 just look at his portfolio. A lot of the lines are hella janky and the saturation really varies between pieces. I just really think he’s full of himself. A lot of the artists on this show are so much more talented than him
The pit bull doesn’t really scream cover up to me
Human Canvas Jury acting like they know what they're talking about
It was a terrible concept from the start
It’s not a bad concept, sometimes the judges have favorites so it’s good to have outside opinion and also opinion of people with different criteria for judging. Which is often more about weather the artist did as was asked which is important but which they judges often don’t care about, or think about how visible things are like with the dragon and the castle.
I mean nah. Cuz ultimately most people looking at your tattoo will be regular ass dudes. So what actually matters is how it looks to regular ass dudes
Kevin's roses shouldn't be on here they look fantastic. It's like the judges pick and choose what they are judging on every week.
Nikki only did 3 decent tattoos the whole season. If it wasnt for Nunes being so biased she should of been eliminated week 4
Yeah seriously that and the fact that she only stayed for as long as she did because Ryan and Kelly covered her ass the whole time.
Are you kidding? Nikki killed it majority of this season
The skull with the 🌹 was awesome
To be quite honest there are quite a few episodes where I have to question to judge's decision. A lot of the time it feels like they eliminate artists for drama factor rather than skill. But what more can you expect from mediocre reality tv🤷♂️
I agree, more than just a few.
That’s why I can’t even watch the show because of the judging
The expression of that jaguar is just so beautiful. Tbh I think the slight wonkyness brings character to it. It's great.
ah yes, a "bad canvas", the ink master definition of someone literally just asking for something they want.
The realistic rose and skull tattoo is amazing I don’t care about a damn outline
I've seen Chris Nunez cover-up tattoos and there Horrible!
It would be a lot easier if the canvases had done a round of tattoo removal
the very last woman who went home for the big cat colored tattoo WAS WRONG that's one of the best tattoos iv seen on this show how could they send her home
They should bump up the time in the revival from 6 to 8 hours smh, there's a lot of stuff you can do with 2 extra hours.
Im pretty sure the time limits arent actually 6 hours anyways
I still can't believe Mike had to leave, I understand that fact that the color pallette may have been a bit too much, but it was definitely a lot better than the jacked up Samurai, still blows my mind how that thing passed-
it'll look a lot better once it healed up properly. the black would turn grey and make it look softer, so the intense black wasn't all that bad, plus it was still easy to read and know what it is.
Half of those tattoos weren’t even bad 😭🤦🏾♀️
I honestly love the jaguar tattoo though
funny how they eliminated mike even though he actually did a cover up when trey did not, but then they eliminate both jim and king rucc for not being able to cover the tattoo. and mike genuinely had a good tattoo
The girl with the purple hair in the end really put me off, you can be critical without shouting over everyone and trying to be the meanest. Like I get its a tough industry and a tough show but c'mon
Anyone else notice the judges have a lot of ugly tattoos?
I'd question their judgement
It’s really old fashioned and lame for them to put someone in the bottom 3 for not doing outlines :| plenty of artists don’t do outlines and the tattoos hold up well
Janelle’s tattoo was really good despite the small linework issues.
The pit bull wasn’t bad at all, I couldn’t tell it was a cover
I don't know anything about tattoos, but I gotta ask how was Mike expected to cover up a black tattoo with other colors? Maybe some shading, but the dog was a great idea, sentimental to the canvas, and it didn't look bad.
I loved the dog tattoo!!
I can't believe they sent him home.
His tattoo was the best cover-up I thought!
If the canvas genuinely loves the tattoo, especially when it comes to a coverup, that should count. Like if the judges can tell that yeah the tattoo is still clearly showig through, it should be judged for that, but also count it in if the canvas loves the work.
The one with the skull and the roses was amazing tho!
Always had a problem with the time constricting. You can't judge rushed art. This does not show them at 100% because they are not timed in their own shop. It's such a werid choice to time it. But that's just my opinion.
I get what you mean, but then again they could spend hours and hours perfecting it... I've got 2 tattoo one took 25 minutes the other an hour, so I think 6 hours is a long time 😂
The judges are just nitpicking. Seems like the deciding factor is just lines and lines and lines which are hardly noticeable.
I wonder how good these judges are. Curious to see their work
I felt so bad for Kevin. He's going for realism (which he did beautifully), and the judges knock him for not doing outlines. For the purpose he nailed it! So glad he didn't get axed.
I still think they should have sent Maddie home first instead of Frank that season. She never got any better and almost all of her work was in the bottom every week until she was cut.
Mike's coverup was pretty spot on, wdym it was the tattoo that sent him home?!
0:09 or near the end of the video
Purple hair girl - That cover up would need a cover up
Other dude - I'm behind you
Me - What was wrong with the cover up? The owl looks fine.
Like the only real issue was the crease and that was something you couldn't help.
I guess the branch as well but that's a minor issue
Why was the purple haired person so critical to the owl? I'd be happy with that tattoo as its not nearly as bad as some other cover ups
Kevin Laroy's tattoo is stunning.
I'm thankful to learn about the importance of outlines on realism as it makes me rethink the next and most important tat I want.
I just want a compilation of canvas jury moments cause that guy taking the lead in the jury on Frank's and stuff was mildly entertaining
That jaguar is great imo. It cover up the old tattoo well and even though there are flaw I would be happy with that on my body, its dope. There are so many worse one they should have pick.
It must be seriously awful to get a coverup only for the coverup to be bad as well. Coverups are bigger than the original and if the artist screws up your only hope at that point is laser which is horrible! I specifically have that surfer coverup in my mind as I type this 😭😬
that surfer dude might be one of the worst tats in ink master history lol
Some of these decisions are mind boggling. I think the judges get TOO technical sometimes, to the point where they can't see a hideous, terrible tattoo if it were staring at them in the face.
Since the show was cancelled I guess they're gonna milk the show for as long as they can
Oh y was it cancelled?😲
@@adoriharris9988 Paramount wanted to Focus all their $ on their nerwork and making movies. The only surviving show Is Bar Rescue. Maybe in 2022 or 2023 after the pandemic Is over we'll see a new season. Also the Oliver Peck thing gave the show a bad image.
@@adoriharris9988 maybe cause its shit? xdd
i feel like the most important thing is how the canvas feels about the tattoo, not some random dude who wants a piece of art done on another person's body to be perfect
Every tat doesn't need an outline,get over it
I requested the man tattooing me did not do an outline and he let me know how awful it would eventually look and I trusted his judgement. It takes a lot of trust to get tattooed and I just always listen to the artist and I'm very happy with my tattoos. But wow did that skull/roses tattoo look AMAZING without those black lines 🙌 too bad it will turn to mud some day😭
Some of these tattoos aren't bad at all but they were judged so hard. I would not in million years get tattoos from these judges :/
Why does no one mention the baby arms on Bone Face's tattoo?
12:02 , those roses are beautiful
I wanna see Nunez compete i wanna see if he can do all these styles perfectly
I actually like the dog tattoo. All the other ones did suck.
I would not like my artist to have a time limit on my tattoo. These people must be masochists to be on this show. Or they get paid for it.
They’re getting a free tattoo from artists that are (usually) talented it really wouldn’t take that much convincing for someone to go on the show especially when you consider how expensive tattoos can be with the details these people demand
The time limit has been exposed as fake many times
the cheetah still looks soo good i wouldn't mind having it on my skin
i think the roses with the skull is absolutely beautiful. he's right, i think, that outlines wouldn't make any sense there, that would take away a lot from the realism
That baboon coverup was awful! I thought the Jaguar, owl are beautiful i would be happy with having those as a cover up! Even the black and white pitball is good
the ‘rules’ of this show changes up so much we don’t even know what they’re judging for anymore 💀
What, they sent that girl home for that leopard tatoo? That was gorgeous, and there was nothing wrong with the lines! Dave Navarro has a few wobbly lines between his ears, apparently...
I hated to see Mike go home that early. His reaction honestly made me sad 😢
12:09 those roses are really pretty imo.
The owl tatto is so cool,so is the dog,the baboon was a hot mess 🤣
