Anthony is a beautiful person inside and out and you can tell because he just has this lightness to the way he carries himself and it shines through in his artworks too.
Between Cleen and Christian for a captain I would pick Cleen all day amy day. Just for the fact that half the time Christian is just looking for some angle to screw someone over or play head games and I would rather have a coach that is focused on the tattoos themselves than worrying and thinking about how to play mind games.
Clean may have started out as a one trick pony, but at this point he is a genuine master and proficient in all styles. His work in his winning season was great start to finish.
@headp3 I'd go with Cleen as well simply because of his energy, plus he's solid. I don't like the way Christian talks trash all the time, he comes off as toxic and arrogant. Christian could learn a lot from the way Anthony behaves, honestly.
He's been known for being an asshole for years. Probably 5 years ago he got some shit because he kept posting on his social media about how gross he thought overweight women are and how he didn't like tattooing "whales". Several women with similar stories have come forward accusing him of sexual assault, sexual harassment, inappropriate comments, body shaming, homophobia, and just being an awful person in general. That makes his reactions to Laura less "funny" and more creepy...
@@Stiasteny ugh cancel culture is grosser than whales. obesity needs to be eradicated from America...and not embraced "body shaming" is a delusion. "body-positivity" is unhealthy and unwise
I’d be fine with it. As long as it was what I wanted I couldn’t give a rats ar*e. Everyone has a different opinion, and in real life the artist is there to please the client.
some canvases found theyre tattoo relly good, but judges also know how the tattoo is gonna age, and some canvases where really disappointed few months after the show because it fade out etc. like this one: ua-cam.com/video/1MexsmqJpbg/v-deo.htmlsi=Yro0pRGJk-0VZKTF&t=1251
I think that if the canvases are dishing out their skin for something permanent and are happy, then they should be left happy in their own ignorance. The old lady who was so happy with her self portrait on her daughter was mortified when the judges said it looked like Leatherface. Once someone says they see something and you find it, you can never unsee it. When it comes to canvases or the subject being tattooed, ignorance is bliss.
Also they are ripping on good tattoos often because it's for the title"Ink Master" so even a bad tattoo there is probably higher level than your local shops. Not to mention how much these bigger pieces would cost by this level of tattoo artist outside the show. Bet the show pays them some as well.
Bird Nerd here: The shoebill wasn't that bad, except for the weird feathers around the neck, also the flowers on the beak made it look a bit flat and foreshortened. A shoebill is not the smartest choice to submit for judging as a lotta folks have never seen one and they are so odd looking. My first time seeing one, I literly thought it was a muppet.
They were the inspiration for the characters in Dark Crystal, which is a Jim Henson movies with puppets. I think a lot of people have seen at least a reference to this and not the bird so the link is drawn.
@@korie4198 I didn't realize they were an inspo for Henson for Dark Crystal, makes sense tho. My female budgie, Kimi, sometimes goes into "skeksies mode" when she's being a grumpy girl, lol. I prolly botched the spelling on skeksies, I'm too lazy to switch tabs and look up the spelling 🤷♀️
I like how they’re given a coach and then get the task to do something that the coach is not familiar with. “Here’s your teacher, he can’t teach you anything. Go.”
I'm not even from Colorado and I know about Bluecifer! I knew exactly what it was meant to be. Also Colorado is literally a square. The "I would never guess that's supposed to be a state" like??? Yeah because a lot of tattoos have stuff coming out of states. It 100% fits the challenge and Bluecifer deserves better recognition from the judges
Hot Take: I actually really liked Pony’s Rose tattoo, even unfinished. The unfinished parts give it this bit of surreal artistry I really love because those red lines look like blood veins.
I think If Deanna went on a different team she would've made it to the finale, she should've been at the finale. But she did get lost in the shuffle sadly
@joygernautm6641 totally agree. Biggest bias IMO is Nunez to Tatu Baby. Was harsh and truthful in the beginning, but seemed to like her tattoos no matter what as the season went on
My least favorite were the state tattoos, just because unless the state has an iconic shape to it like California or Texas, no one will know what the fuck state it is.
I grew up with Joel, whose real last name is Joel Coombs by the way. I was mad at him for years for “selling out” by playing cheesy music given where we grew up is very working class and what people call “rough”. I think I was actually jealous, and now I’m happy for him. Any way you can get out of where we grew up is valid, and also impressive. People don’t have the luxury of thinking big where we are from, but he always did, and he made it happen.
5:23 since when do fish twist 180 half way down their body? and have their front fins facing forward, pretty sure most fish CAN’T swim backwards which those fin position insinuate… number 2 is way cleaner , better detail in the face and scales but again fins facing forward And if your going to come up with stories about the design I could say the tail is clearly underwater making that splash effect
I think they started doing blind because 1) favorites and 2) people noticed that the judges would judge the women a whole lot harsher for the same mistakes the men made. Also something they praised the men doing they critiqued against the women.
I love the artistry, and the dedication, but the trash talk and the sniping is so annoying. It's constant. I especially hate it when they all gang up on one person. That's when I stop watching the show.
Every artist who rose to the top became my favorites. I had a simple small tattoo I wanted Sausage to do while I was in Vegas. Probably $300 tops. He wanted $1k, so I passed.
turks blind critique tattoo was so pathetic sucking up to cleen he copied a tattoo cleen did in a previous episode when he went head to head with tommy it couldnt be more obvious
23:00 man I love the party shark, but what really makes me mad is that the back fin isn't a shark fin... shark fins are rotated 90 degrees to this one :( He's got a whale fin.
“If they knew who they were saying that about” they should be saying the exact same thing. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been tattooing for, if it sucks it sucks.
Anybody who would give a mid tattoo on purpose, just to play the game, is not professional and no Ink Master. Show thar you care about your craft and the people who wear it.
The show looked fixed to me. Too often bad tattoos somehow got through depending on who did them while strong tattoos get vited off. One week they boot someone for not following the brief then a couple of weeks later the tattoo of the day was one that didn't come close to following the brief. I suspect they know exactly who did what and pretended to not know.
I'd love to be tatted by Ryan but I just know shes booked and busy Im scared of big tattoo but I would let her put whatever she wants on my body and just know it'll be gorg😭😭
I used to like Christian but I saw an older episode recently that I hadn’t seen before, and what he was doing was actually bullying a competitor from another team. It was spiteful, and so juvenile and completely unnecessary. He is a freaking grandfather, I bet he would hate it if one of his grandchildren was bullied like that. It has completely changed my opinion of him, I have no respect for him (not that he would lose any sleep over that). Anthony is terrific, always calm, encouraging and respectful to others. He seems like a really good guy.
@karenglenn6707 That much I know. But thats the past, and I feel like hes grown. Im no tattoo artost, i just like to draw. I just feel id vibe with honesty more than just experience.
Kelly so did not deserve that over Raul. That fish is washed out and ugly. The composition and colour of Raul’s is so much cooler and I wouldn’t hate to wear it on me
52:04… for her to say… Just like high school.. Getting ranked… thought she said something else..Seriously.. did she just say that because she lost.. very suss.. Shame on her.
It is so obviously not blind if Ryan Ashley and DJ Tambe both happen to be #1 and #2 during a "Battle of the Sexes". That is so clearly staged it's absurd.
I love Anthony’s spirit. He’s so calm and humble. He’s a beast for the number of years he’s been working too.
Anthony is a beautiful person inside and out and you can tell because he just has this lightness to the way he carries himself and it shines through in his artworks too.
Hearing Dj say “You got it” to Ryan before them announcing her as the winner was so sweet, he knows she a freaking badass!
I think it’s awesome that now they’re judges on the show. I definitely like them a lot more than Oliver or Chris especially
Her tattoo was pretty sick. Looks like a goddess in chrome. Impressive.
DJ seems like a huge sweetie
Between Cleen and Christian for a captain I would pick Cleen all day amy day.

All of the critiques should be blind so they can’t pick favs like they always do
Sooooo obvious the judges knew who the coaches tattoos were 🙄
They shouldn't have been shocked when they saw a new school tattoo and it was Jime. That's what he's known for
They 100% knew the cat was Jimmy's. They also 100% knew which one was Ryan's they have had a hard on for her ever since she first went on the show.
Doesn't help when the artist immediately says "it's mine!"
That and they always seem to critique the womens so much harsher.
@@d0peusername they are clearly in a separate room watching the tv, they are not even in the same room as the judges.....
Someone commented on a different video how Cam acts like a fifth grader with a crush around Laura and now I can't unsee it 😂

@feyfeline seemed like him and Creepy Jason had a thing for Laura
I think it should always be a blind review
Yeah, the "since art is blind and has no gender, your art must speak for itself" is a CRAZY thing to say lmao
Completely agree. I think they look at the artist first and back into their opinion.
Agreed … good to judge tattoos FIRST
@@GiftSparksagreed
100%
I actually like that the rose from Ponny is unfinished. It lookes very interesting like that.
I would hate to be the one getting the tattoo and love the results but the judges tore it apart. They are brutal.
I’d be fine with it. As long as it was what I wanted I couldn’t give a rats ar*e. Everyone has a different opinion, and in real life the artist is there to please the client.

I agree, most ppl can't wrap their heads around a shoebill when they see an actual shoebill
Craze. I think ALMOST ALL of these are freakin amazing!! I mean almost all of them r SOO KOOL. And here they r bein like, “nah. Nah. Nah. Nah!” 😂
they always be finding the TINIEST thing to bitch about even tho it’s the most beautiful tattoo i’ve ever seen 😮💨
Blind means you still can't see Oliver Peck!
Lmao that was my first thought 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 omg i thought the same thing
@@GigiOnTheMic can’t change his voice tho lol 😂
On Sundays and Mondays on MTV 2 you can see Oliver !
XD
I love the way each new season that comes out, the tattoos are even better, and the participants are so much nicer to each other. 🥰
I like how they’re given a coach and then get the task to do something that the coach is not familiar with.
“Here’s your teacher, he can’t teach you anything. Go.”
Imagine saying “i’m FUCKED” when the judges say you have free realestate
I’ll say it every time, being from Colorado, you can totally tell the Blue Horse is supposed to be our state. Bluecifer is a state icon and treasure.
Anyone from Colorado would say this is Colorado, and basically you would only get it tattotted if it means something to you lol.
Completely agree with you!
I'm not even from Colorado and I know about Bluecifer! I knew exactly what it was meant to be. Also Colorado is literally a square. The "I would never guess that's supposed to be a state" like??? Yeah because a lot of tattoos have stuff coming out of states. It 100% fits the challenge and Bluecifer deserves better recognition from the judges
I don't know about Bluecifer but state outline that is Colorado and dope af
“yay senpai noticed me” hell naw
That was the only cringe Laura moment. Other than that, I love her art
🔘he-🔘he-🔘Hell naw
thought she said “somebody noticed me”
"u can disagree all u like but they are telling you how to win" LMAO 😮😢😅😂
I'm guessing Oliver is a blind judge because nobody can see him 🤣
Hot Take: I actually really liked Pony’s Rose tattoo, even unfinished. The unfinished parts give it this bit of surreal artistry I really love because those red lines look like blood veins.
The unshaded leaf was scuffed though
52:32 it’s the “WHAT?!?!?” Scream for me😂😂😂
I think If Deanna went on a different team she would've made it to the finale, she should've been at the finale. But she did get lost in the shuffle sadly
Agreed
34:27 in this critique Navarro is so nice. Feeling happy for everybody. Cheering them up! This dude is so likable and kind.
All the coaches' tattoos in the season 12 finale look amazing!
41:17 tbh i actually really like the color in this one, especially the mouth. it feels like its glowing
The owl set of tatoos: the first owls head appears to look more like a penguins head shape rather than an owl.
It should always be blind. There’s so much bias and favouritism with the judging and always has been.
@joygernautm6641 totally agree. Biggest bias IMO is Nunez to Tatu Baby. Was harsh and truthful in the beginning, but seemed to like her tattoos no matter what as the season went on
My least favorite were the state tattoos, just because unless the state has an iconic shape to it like California or Texas, no one will know what the fuck state it is.
As someone who used to live in Las Vegas I love that he included traffic cones
Dude, Blucifer and Oliver Peck not knowing that is the only thing we can offer???
I'd pick clean over Christian anytime. Christian is just constantly rude, trying so cause something.. just his entire attitude turns me away from him.
The whole show should be like this
I grew up with Joel, whose real last name is Joel Coombs by the way. I was mad at him for years for “selling out” by playing cheesy music given where we grew up is very working class and what people call “rough”. I think I was actually jealous, and now I’m happy for him. Any way you can get out of where we grew up is valid, and also impressive.

The way the girl looked at Josh killed me
That tattoo at 11:20 or close to it definitely looks like a rat. That's not a wolf at all. Did she free hand it?
I would literally pay just to be around Kelly Doty for a day. Her aura is amazing and she is so damn funny
I love the artistry, and the dedication, but the trash talk and the sniping is so annoying. It's constant. I especially hate it when they all gang up on one person. That's when I stop watching the show.
Ashley is a tattoo goddess her skills are off the charts
to be really fair, all judging should be blind.
Every artist who rose to the top became my favorites. I had a simple small tattoo I wanted Sausage to do while I was in Vegas. Probably $300 tops. He wanted $1k, so I passed.
Franks tattoo was so fucking good , it was beautiful , I swear they find flaws in everything
I feel like they should all be blind critiques because some judges might show favoritism to certain artists.
How was anybody shocked that Jime did a new school tattoo???
🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:56 saint mark's reaction??? He thinks here a good artist, but nahhh 🤣🤣🤣
I always think it's funny when they get an attitude and and bitch at the TV when they're getting critiqued.
"Your future is horrible" didnt the dude he said that to end up winning 😂😂😂
The girl that made it should have gotten more money
"Its a better rat" lol
19:28 that heart tattoo could have been better
turks blind critique tattoo was so pathetic sucking up to cleen he copied a tattoo cleen did in a previous episode when he went head to head with tommy it couldnt be more obvious
Amazing and I wish Dave Navarro was apart of season 15 of ink master
I like the blind critiques!!!!
Its something to hear how cocky some are knowing now that they were sent home because of that.
23:00 man I love the party shark, but what really makes me mad is that the back fin isn't a shark fin... shark fins are rotated 90 degrees to this one :(
He's got a whale fin.
I loved the dog ice :D
Can you guys do a worst pinups compilation?
Why are they always disappointed to hear they'll be judged blind?
Because they can’t play into personality, so if they are simply worse at technical skill than others, they will just lose.
@@HalfGrownFlower A fair point. But wouldn't you think a few people would say, "Hooray! I prefer to be judged solely on the quality of my work!"?
The person who got Ryan's face sean tatoo is the luckiest person in the world
Blucifer was awesome.
The criteria the judges use changes episode to episode
What was your first tattoo and at what age did you get it?
It was a Lion Rampant (Scottish Lion) on my left forearm. I was 21.
An eye being stitched at its corners that I drew on paper at 14, digitally at 18, first tattooed at 19
State flag on my bicep at 18 🎉
A quero-quero (bird from my country) at age 26
Bouquet of roses on my calf at 21.
“If they knew who they were saying that about” they should be saying the exact same thing. Doesn’t matter how long you’ve been tattooing for, if it sucks it sucks.
I'm noticing that some times when they show the judges, it looks kind of zoomed in or something. Strange production quality.
It's 3:02 in the AM 😊
50:20 thats Mila Kunis tho right? Anyone else agree? 😂
the editing is killing me
Anybody who would give a mid tattoo on purpose, just to play the game, is not professional and no Ink Master. Show thar you care about your craft and the people who wear it.
46:17 kelly is so fucking hilarious 😂
So the canvases that get these tattoos…. Do the tattoos get fixed afterwards? Or do they just have to live with it?
I think Matt and Katy were a really strong team.
how was it blind judgin when tattoo number 1 belonged to master, and number 2 to apprentice
Why do all the contestants dress as if they were told they were going to be action figures they all seem to have been told how to dress
10:20 what is uour complaint ...to me this was exceptional
I would have went with Matt's owl for sure
13:31 Daniel Silva was in the frame for a split second & I got triggered 😩😭
Although the grizzly bear is the offical, there are no longer any in CA
Dani Ryan is alright looking =)
18:41 looks nice
Some of these people need to cool their egos
I think blind is the fairest way to judge I think
Ryan's red dress
I wonder if these guys are seeing the same tattoos we are.
The show looked fixed to me. Too often bad tattoos somehow got through depending on who did them while strong tattoos get vited off. One week they boot someone for not following the brief then a couple of weeks later the tattoo of the day was one that didn't come close to following the brief.

So why was Peck edited out of the video?
he made a black face, so he was fired and they edited all vids.
Woke America... 😅
I'd love to be tatted by Ryan but I just know shes booked and busy Im scared of big tattoo but I would let her put whatever she wants on my body and just know it'll be gorg😭😭
Honestly Id go for Anthony and Christian for teams.
I used to like Christian but I saw an older episode recently that I hadn’t seen before, and what he was doing was actually bullying a competitor from another team. It was spiteful, and so juvenile and completely unnecessary. He is a freaking grandfather, I bet he would hate it if one of his grandchildren was bullied like that. It has completely changed my opinion of him, I have no respect for him (not that he would lose any sleep over that). Anthony is terrific, always calm, encouraging and respectful to others. He seems like a really good guy.
@karenglenn6707 That much I know. But thats the past, and I feel like hes grown. Im no tattoo artost, i just like to draw. I just feel id vibe with honesty more than just experience.
Were the canvases from those tattooed states? Or did they just get states that would’ve been significant only to the artists
Ant is my MANNNN 😍😍❤️
What is the style? "Boats and hoes, color realism" "alright, cris crafts and easy women
didnt watch the show for a couple of seasons, but did oliver do something bad? they dont show him in any of the videos//
Imagine judging based on personal taste…
Christian and Cleen are the best
I sometimes question wtf they’re seeing.
Kelly so did not deserve that over Raul. That fish is washed out and ugly. The composition and colour of Raul’s is so much cooler and I wouldn’t hate to wear it on me
1:03:32 almost all these artists were the ones talking shit
Te pre à sourire pour frankian😊
52:04… for her to say… Just like high school.. Getting ranked… thought she said something else..Seriously.. did she just say that because she lost.. very suss.. Shame on her.
It is so obviously not blind if Ryan Ashley and DJ Tambe both happen to be #1 and #2 during a "Battle of the Sexes". That is so clearly staged it's absurd.
These are all somewhat knoen artists. If they recognize the style you cant really blame them.
wonder why they are editing the one judge out??
