Seriously!! Honestly, since it’s an art competition, that’d be the best bet for most if not all judging. If there was trouble with canvases or something, maybe the artists in the bottom could mention that.

[@gailgriffith8876]

I feel so bad for Pony. She was so kind and genuinely was trying to do her best with the canvas. I also feel like the canvas kind of took advantage of the slight language barrier and accused her of being insensitive when I just feel like her English isnt PERFECT so she didnt offer up instant comfort when she was upset.

[@blasphemedheretic]

💯💯💯💯 I noticed the language barrier scenario too

[@idalaursen8935]

Also The canvas had no problem with Pony’s “bedside manner” before she went to The bathroom. It almost felt scripted, that she left because of bedside manner and not just because she couldn’t take it. Making it The tatooers fault and not The weakness of The canvas makes for more dramatic tv!

[@Blixtwixy]

I genuinely loved Alexis's tattoo! As soon as I saw it I thought it was super cute, nothing about it felt obviously bad to me. Honestly, a lot of the critiques in this show feel like they miss the mark completely. They nitpick small things that a consumer wouldn't even care about, and ignore large issues that a consumer would.

@@Blixtwixy being an artist myself, it’s our job to train our eyes to notice these tiny little blurbs that the consumer may not notice. That’s what makes the difference between good and great. Currently an apprentice photographer under someone who’s been in the business for years and it’s amazing to see the amount of detail that my senior has trained himself to look at. Sure our clients might not notice but it’s something our competitors would and sets us apart from them BECAUSE of our attention to detail. Personally I liked Alexis’s piece and think the tiki looking head should have gone home simply bc of perspective. For me getting proportions and perspectives down is a much bigger Issue than the Alexis’s lack of fine detail/line work.

Or if a contestant DOESNT follow the challenge, it showed make them automatically disqualified or at least very heavily judged against

Pony’s canvas didn’t have a problem with pain, she had an issue with a language barrier. It felt like discrimination, but she hid it so she didn’t come off like that. Totally unfair for pony

[@ninjagirl226]

I respectfully disagree if you look at the canvas’s other tattoos the sugar skull is mainly an outline suggesting she tapped out on that out too. The tattoos on the canvas’s bicep looks more complete but if it’s colored it’s very light blue to the point where she skin could be coming through. I think she used the language issue as a scape goat for being a wimp primarily based on her unfinished tattoos.

I can't stress this enough; I'm genuinely not as passionate about this take as you think I am. OG COMMENT FOR POSTERITY: The way the judges talk about 'feminine' and 'masculine' tattoos is kinda weird. You'd think they'd stop doing that after being wrong so many times. "Too masculine for a girl to have done it." "The colour palette made me think a girl did it."

Right? The phrasing was a put-down, because it seemed to be all about lady-limitations. They got pigeon-holed. The show would benefit from more blind judging - I bet we'd have way more lady Ink Masters.

[@literaltiffy1699]

I also cringe at the way they judge tattoos on the female canvases by saying it's too "masculine" to be on a woman's body. Just because a woman has a gritty skull or a dark horror tattoo doesn't make her less feminine. We're not all bubble gum, flowers and rainbows. I've seen male canvases on the show receive "feminine" looking tattoos and sex is never brought in to the conversation.

There’s nothing Pony could have done to make that canvas stay. If she opted out with only that much of the tattoo done then she has zero pain tolerance. You can even see that her other tattoos aren’t finished, which probably means she left early on those too. It really sucks when good artists go home solely because of a bad canvas. It doesn’t happen often, cause even if there’s a bad canvas the artist can succeed. But Pony’s was impossible, Pony could of been the most considerate human on Earth and it wouldn’t of mattered. That canvas clearly doesn’t have the durability to be getting tattoos.

The blind judging was really refreshing and it lets some of the “unfavorable” artists have a moment to shine. Also his way of judging makes no sense at all at certain times.

"In Native American culture the tiger symbolizes power" , girl we never had tigers in America 🤣

[@s6muel180]

Towards the middle, a female artist literally said “yay senpai noticed me” 🫡

[@sneakerheadjt]

That chick is a despicable person... probably just did that too stand out and get more air time

[@Askeletontrappedinamanbody]

In native american culture a tiger means... what? What is that woman talking about? How would native americans, let alone anyone indigenous to north or south america know what a tiger was? Aren't tigers specifically from Asia? How could native americans have any kind of cultural belief or background towards an animal they not only never would have seen, but likely would never even hear talked about when settlers arrived?

The dog ice cream was such a unique idea tbh. I LOVE IT! I mean all tattoos were amazing.

[@namesbinge3073]

I thought pony unfinished work was amazing, and I even thought for a second like she finished it? God knows what the finish piece looks like from pony.

[@MsMelissaAnn]

Pony's, though unfinished, looked amazing. I'd love to sit for her. The red mask one, I think that one was bad, the face looked squashed down, flat, stretched out..... The dog ice cream would be my 2nd worst in the group.

[@evie6214]

14:57 did this girl really say "yay senpai noticed me" 💀

[@angelorobledo1536]

10:35 'In native american culture, a tiger means _______' Oh really? I wasn't aware that tigers were native to the American continent.

[@rabbitholegirl1]

That rose tattoo with the bullet 👌 Also if a client wants a masculine tat it's not too masculine. Redicilous! 🙄 Plus I don't think that the dog ice cream should have been in the bottom. All of the tattoo's in the womens team were awesome

[@dutch2612]

"A boy's going home today. A boy named cam"...karma🤣🤣🤣superfast

[@F3H4]

holly was takling about how cam was gonna go home but she went home lmaoooooo

[@kurtdahle]

9:00 when that guy talks to the girl hes all macho, but when hes talkin to him is voice is all high

[@gr9032]

"Yay, senpai noticed me" Cringe :D

[@williewhite101]

They pick some of the worse canvases ever

[@royalcrow5657]

I'm curious on where they get the people

[@mediocreguitarist8276]

Your scratching me with the paper towel! Really come on!?!?!?

[@bydarx5536]

I hope Pony's canvas has nightmares about ruining Pony's chance of becoming an Ink Master .

[@Christophe_L]

2:45 dude with the huge tribal on his face talking about crazy decisions 😂 Respect.

[@tinelovesallmusic]

Pony not being able to close her lips reminds me why I never went back for fillers.

[@friendlyfire782]

I feel bad for Pony. We all noticed the canvas unfinished tatts (12:07). I've seen a few times the canvas dips out bcuz of pain. The show should pick stronger people. Overall Pony's canvas blows balls and I hope Pony keeps on riding the wave.

[@shoutingalice2943]

Holly should have stayed she did an amazing job and cam didn't change a single thing in his style. She went above and beyond and his work was decent, but still well within his comfort zone

[@alex-og.zalez9403]

Bro that dog ice cream cone looked so sick to me...I don't get it!!

[@yoongi7854]

14:58 girl tf “yay senpai noticed me” um chile what the hell was that

[@ximbabwe0228]

The paramount pictures subliminal image has burned itself into my brain

[@pajamas_the_emo]

“It’s so goofy.” “But you’re the fucking king of goofy.” “… whatever bro.”

[@xCam_Dergx]

I liked the dog with the ice cream

[@TheHPExperiment]

I swear to God, with Pony's canvas that tapped out, they just played the same exact pain soundbite from the canvas like four times in a row.

[@jbee2649]

I truly want to see Creepy Jason’s tattoos as a whole

[@Rubn47]

10:38 Tigers are not even native to America hahaha

[@okayishgamer4923]

"A boy named cam is going today" ...famous last words😂

[@ianedwards1255]

that gal who gave up bc her artist wasn't jingling keys in front of her face gave me second hand embarrassment.

[@shuri_syb]

Tattoos doesnt hurt that much it just stings a bit.

[@jasperj.d.g.4147]

Depends on the skin and place. For some it won't hurt, or it won't hurt in one spot but it will another.

[@chincemagnet]

I can’t believe Dave Navarro is in his 50’s, dude looks my ago and he was already famous when I was a kid

[@ivagnarok]

Was a beautiful rose, Hope she don't get eliminated.

[@Pathfinder-Doc]

"In Native American culture... the Tiger." Where are the 🐅 in America?

[@brandiwilliams1102]

Well they are located in Latin America and some Parts of south amerjcs

[@aurasuviranta3318]

@@brandiwilliams1102 Nope, not even close. Tigers are native to Asia. All species. You might be thinking jaguars but they're a different species and spotted, not striped.

[@n0body550]

30:23 “A boy’s going home today, and his names cam” Then she proceeds to be voted off 😂

[@Ash-sk7ip]

Pony's canvas had quiet a few unfinished tattoos already

[@Nononochi]

not gonna lie i would trust pony to do my tattoos she knows whats shes doing.

[@evanoneill619]

"It hurts" I need to be coddled. Can you hold my hand, make me a cup of chamomile and sing me a soothing song? Some folks shouldn't get tats..

[@CynicalScientist261]

Japanese style = best style

[@royalcrow5657]

Absolutely agree
