[@samvinson5223]

Yes! This hit me right in the heart. I do love that he also told her that he wanted to make 100% certain that it was right and what she wanted - why he chose only to do one side vs both. That takes stones to tell someone, especially given the circumstance, but I think you can read his genuineness. He wanted to make sure she left completely stoked with what she did receive. if I could hug him I would! lol

[@randyholloway920]

Joshua was such a cry baby in this season. His client had barely any scar, he avoided it almost entirely and still expected to win even though he didn’t really do the challenge. Yikes.

[@Intrepid_Explorer]

I mean, by that logic if Joshua didn't pick her than whoever got that canvas could never have won the challenge just because she had a small scar; which is unfair. She was included in the roster along with every other canvas here, so I don't see why she should be treated any differently than the rest by the Judges.

[@jaded6064]

@@Intrepid_Explorer they also just judged based on creativity and skill, obviously they wouldn’t choose a simple canvas just to make someone lose, they aren’t judging the canvas they’re judging the art, so someone else could have won with that canvas, he was whining when he got the easy choice

[@Intrepid_Explorer]

@@jaded6064 The reason that he 'got the easy choice' was because he earned it though; he had previously won best tattoo of the day and thus was given the advantage of being allowed to choose his own canvas (actually a smaller advantage than usual, as it would become the norm that winners could choose everyone else's canvases as well). So again; why should Joshua be penalized for being rewarded to be allowed to pick his own canvas?

[@NaovaHatake123]

I had my leg ripped open during a car accident and ended up with a huge scar on the side of my right leg. One of the worst pain I’ve ever felt getting that tattooed but after 6 days of three hours each, the pay off was definitely worth it. Finding an artist who understands how painful scars can be can make it so much better.

[@sammoore9209]

Its weird how that works. I got a scar right under my ribs from surgery, literally feels like nothing (though I must admit its been 17 years), but another surgery scar from like 5-10 years ago on my stomach is extremely sensitive.

[@Mr.Sr.Jr.]

I was absolutely shocked when they were able to show the cancer survivors chests. There is no way that that is any less graphic of a photo than a breast with a nipple in the center. Personally I don't think either are too graphic to show but I just think it's silly that mainstream media thinks there is a difference between the two.

[@freddie488]

It's because female nipples are classed as 'sexual organs'. Obviously when they were making that rule they didn't want to admit that male nipples are just as sensitive and reactive to stimulation!

Let's face it, there was a 0% chance that any constructive criticism would be given for the mastectomy tattoos. The judges would not be able to comment on the tattoos without making the women feel self-conscious so they copped out and just told everyone that they did an excellent job. They definitely made the right call. 🤐

[@weenie4852]

I feel like whenever they judge the tattoo in front of the canvases they are nicer. The tattoo of the dog over the dog bite scar was very dark and didn’t make sense with the fire or spit or whatever coming out of its mouth. They would have ripped the tattoo apart if the canvas wasn’t there in my opinion.

[@haleystephen7675]

I really found it amazing that they didn't blur out or censor the breasts on the breast cancer survivors. It's quite silly when media overreacts to seeing uncensored breasts, claiming they're sexualizing it, slutty, desperate, have no respect for themselves/the people who are around them, etc. This challenge was not imposing anything sexual, but more focusing on the art itself; these tattoo artists were giving people their lives back. It's really quite beautiful. Well done!

[@TheWifeRottenRomance]

If there aren’t nipples it’s not considered nudity. Except sometimes, on Facebook, because they’re twats. But yeah, it’s the nipples, not the breast tissue.

[@TheWifeRottenRomance]

Also, the one woman who did have nipples (reconstruction?) they did blur out.

[@Rose-xe7oj]

I agree! I appreciate how respectful they were, and even though this comment was made a while ago, you might find it interesting that women way, way back didn't cover their breasts. In fact, they would sometimes leave one out and cover the other for fashion. I would share a link, but I'm not sure how to with a phone.

[@stumpy1146]

@@TheWifeRottenRomance Can they reconstruct those? I genuinely don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they could at this point in medicine.

[@TheWifeRottenRomance]

@@stumpy1146 there are reconstruction options but they’re involved and sometimes difficult. A lot of the time implants are used, which come with their own risks (including making detection of future cancer harder). For implants, they often have to put expanders in so the skin is stretched enough to have room for an implant. Expansion can be painful and takes quite some time. Reconstructing nipples is complicated. Most commonly they will use surrounding skin to give the texture and appearance of the nipple, sometimes then tattooed to actually look like an areola, because otherwise the skin doesn’t have the color differentiation. Sometimes they can use the remaining areola for it, or even borrow from the areola on the other side if it’s still there. The easiest technique is to tattoo nipples on, so that the breast looks “normal,” though it won’t have the same sensitivity. And even with those reconstructions, there will still be scarring. Frequently very bad scarring, because many doctors do not try to minimize it. Often times mastectomy scars are much, much worse than they ever should be. Plastic surgeons should be a requirement for all breast cancer surgeries, even lumpectomies. All of these reconstruction options require more surgeries/procedures and healing time. But so much of a woman’s femininity is tied to her breasts. So there’s the toss up of wanting to still feel feminine/attractive/appealing, but also wanting to not deal with even more trauma and surgeries. 😕

[@bibliowolf5735]

I definitely understand why Sausage won the breast cancer challenge (both breasts beutifully covered), but from an aesthetic point I preferred both Halo & Matti's pieces.

I would have thought they would have had a back up person or something.

I'm stuck on "a bed collapsed on him." I'm sorry WHAT? Does anyone have more details or am I just supposed to be terrified of sleeping in my own bed

[@theunderratedauthor2750]

It’s most likely a bunk bed and the top fell, OR a platform bed that wasn’t built well

[@BramLastname]

To be impaled like that you'd have to have the bed break first then fall on you, So the logical conclusion is someone else falling through a bunk bed with him sleeping below them.

[@thecityofficial6367]

Anyone else notice that when the judges were walking around commenting on the tattoos the contestants had just done, they seemed really complimentary of their work instead of like, condescending? I think maybe Bc it was for people with scars and they wanted to encourage them that they had been covered well. They wanted to be encouraging to the canvases. Also I think the tattoos were good, but I mean, the judges always seem so down on everyone. But not this time

[@BramLastname]

A large part of the judges harsh attitude is theatrics, In this case they would've gotten in a lot of trouble if they didn't dial it back a bit.

I want to know how he got impaled by a bed :O

[@elmiyk]

I’m not sure if he had the same weight when he got impaled but the fat around his waist probably saved him, i’m not entirely sure

if he had a flat stomach, the bed would have probably punctured an organ which could be fatal

[@maisie4841]

It covered one of his scars but if you were to cover all of them it would have to go all over his entire stomach which would not be achievable in the allowed time

I agree. However I think they should put a trigger warning before the episodes start if they do it.

[@Trayleen]

Me mum wants mine covered xD I always say No. It's my history. It's my past. She thinks people judge me by that scars and she is propably right but heck, I don't want to hide anything because someone wants me to hide it.

@@artisticalex1206 trigger warnings don’t help people. They have the opposite effect of their intention. I’d never cover mine, they’re just part of me. I used to be more conscious about them in public but I haven’t cared in a long time I’m so used to them.
