[@i.cant.sleep.anymore]

I love her positivity. I don't recall her ever trash talking anyone. Absolutely in my top 3 Ink Master contestants of all time.

[@StrawberryNinjaNibbles]

She definitely has. I forget the video tho. I think it was something judging either celeb tattoos or tattoo artists?

Kelly “ whoops I forgot to tell everyone I’m an award winning realism portrait artist and everyone thinks I’m strictly new school” Doty lmao. Kelly straight up performed a miracle on the colosseum piece.

[@EM-tg4ft]

Her tattoos and creativity is just amazing. Her and Ryan are bomb artists.

[@TheNormalAsian]

So crazy how she got a guy who did not want new school do so something so amazing as it ended up to be. She's my favorite contestant throughout the show.

MAKE HER THE NEW JUDGE! PLEASE! What an amazing and knowledgeable artist, truly a queen!

[@o.glyrics187]

Naw ryan would be a better judge

[@jpbyrne246]

@@o.glyrics187 I think Kelly has better experience than Ryan and a larger understanding of many styles. And as much as I love Ryan I think Kelly's funny personality would be perfect for a judge.

[@livm9306]

I thought that the judges final critique of Kelly was kinda weird. They basically said that she didn’t show them anything new, because she did new school again, but she didn’t have a choice, that’s the style she was assigned

[@Geminisparkles]

This show has some of the worst judges ever. They are so nitpicky and contradictory all the time. I think they just play favorites.

[@JoshBG20]

Kelly is very attractive, not just look wise but her personality is what I fell in love with most, how passionate she is to her style of art, her approach to professionalism, and spot on collaborations with her clients as almost she's been down the same road her canvases once been. Very Down to Earth Tattoo Artist.... Love Her!

[@adriengadson3544]

Best female personality to compete on the show. She was always up beat and positive.

[@leahbautista2369]

[@selina1569]

ME TOOO FAVE SEASON EVER

[@l.i.i.l0]

I read this so often that I am now at the point of "do I even want to watch the other seasons?" :D

[@Mimyakko]

I remember when this season was airing, most of the male fans were so bitter about the show focusing on the women. They were so butthurt that they were all convinced that Ryan was sleeping with the judges🙄

[@livm9306]

I think that the producers really wanted to amp up the feminist aspect. I honestly think that people thought it was annoying because of the way they edited it. There’s been alliances in past seasons but they were never really portrayed the way the girl alliance was.

[@PeachyBeins]

Of course a feeemalllleeeee can't do anything on her own merit she must be bumbing a male judge to get ahead. Typical sexist bs

[@PeachyBeins]

@@livm9306 there's nothing wrong with a feminist angle/focus. If ppl get annoyed over a show trying to showcase female artists in a positive way that's their own problem. If feminism annoys a person meh ignore and wait for the next season But now that they've done a feminist angled season id very much enjoy if they did one highlighting openly LGBTQAI artists.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ilunia27]

The reason they focused on women more that season was just because there were so many strong women! When the editing starts, they allready know the finalists so ofcourse they try to make an interesting storyline. There was no feminist agenda, just basic understanding of good entertainment

[@jealousysnell]

Someone watched pewd's video I see

[@lipstickinvalentinobag]

Kelly was always my favorite. She actually cared about the person she was tattooing and respected them. She put full effort into everything she did. She was never rude to anybody she was tatooing. She was just a genuinely good person

[@gennyd.2925]

She’s never done a bad tattoo ever. This girl is so gifted and amazing inside and out. She’s been thru some tough sh*t and it made her who she is now .. love her attitude 😊

[@briannaramirez9375]

It sucks that she and Ryan were in the same season, because I would have loved to see Kelly win! Ryan totally deserved the win, but I also would have loved to see Kelly come out as Inkmaster!

[@dankdegl612]

I teared up a little with the domestic abuse tattoo. She knocked it out of the park! So stunning and full of meaning for the woman she was tattoing. Fucking love dotty, she's so cool.

[@lucianabarbaro2582]

I missed this episode in her season somehow (or maybe it wasn't in the regular season 🤔... anyways) ... that tattoo was incredible and just one more example of why she's such an amazing, creative, passionate, artist! Love her ❤

“I assume it’s how you get to work”😆

[@kaylassus]

Her umbrella tree was such an amazing and original idea. The execution was flawless, and I love her personality!

[@kyli1204]

The fact that she came up with that umbrella idea just from the woman’s story is absolutely incredible and makes me want to go get a tattoo from her right now. That was so thoughtful of her to create such a meaningful design and on top of that to go ahead and do a cover-up for her when she didn’t even have to was so kind.

[@batdad34]

"The best of Kelly doty" is misleading because everything she does is amazing

[@DiabolicalAngel]

Marvelous artist and wonderful personality.

[@faithnisbet2561]

Every time Kelly opens her mouth it's golden. The stories and random convos you could have with her as a client would be freakin awesome

[@InkAndPoet]

On the Ink Master Subreddit, when the show's cancelation was announced, a crew member responded to it and mentioned that she was going to AT LEAST replace Peck in the finale. And if it were to continue, she would be his permanent replacement.

[@kelsbells9205]

Kelly, Nikki and Ryan are the holy trinity of feminine fatale and artistic ability

[@yvonne9554]

She is so gifted. Personally, I don't wear tattoos, but I would love to commission an original piece of fine art that conveyed my spiritual rebirth. I'm an artist myself, but I'd treasure any work from a fellow artisan, who has such God given talent, with the utmost appreciation. ❤

Listen. I’ve never watched this show, nor do I know anything about tattoo artist. But, Kelly is a pure gem. She develops a bond with her canvases and has such a passion that is both infectious and inspirational. If I ever get a tattoo in the near future I would want her to do it, especially for something sentimental to me.

[@dawn__to__dusk9129]

I love the design for the natural dictated tattoo, that she celebrated the everyday object that saved this woman’s life. Plus the fact that she went ahead and made it a coverup as well when sooo many artists have pretty much made the client move the piece when it’d have to cover an old piece? Total professional+personal package.

[@oafs2058]

She is such a sweet person i’ve never seen her say rude things to anybody during the show.

[@summer53782]

Kelly will always be my favorite artist to ever be on this show. She is so genuine and an incredibly talented artist and I know her grandmother would be so proud of her as a person and an artist.

[@ashleigheley8261]

Kelly is my biggest inspiration. I'm currently studying art and design so I can work towards a tattoo apprenticeship. Sometimes is hella hard to stay motivated to get to where I wanna be but she definetely reminds me why it's my dream and why it's important to me. Perfect woman to celebrate for national woman's day.

I love Kelly so much! She's so unapologetically herself, but so humble and warm at the same time. She's got the purest heart ❤️

[@Angel-wr1be]

Kelly was always a favorite, I love Ryan too but Kelly has the bubbly personality and sincere story behind the piece. The story can sell a tattoo better than skill, both are important but having a meaning specific to the client? Priceless. It is on my personal bucket list to get a tattoo by her and have her sign her name with it.

[@bunnsssarebest5610]

She’s so edgy yet so cute and talented oml

[@hey_richard_this_is_tony]

She is the perfect tattooer: Not just insanely talented & at home with her own style, but also feeling her canvas and their needs, communicating openly and respectful. Too many tattooers are just craftsmen and artists, she is also a communicator and therapist.

Can we all appreciate how proud she is of having done so many medusas?
