I can live wit Anthony beating Cleen but there’s no way in hell Cleen should’ve lost to Jason

[@lievanossteven2869]

Yes he should have been he’s a more cleaner ya top artist like he does a clean lean tattoo

[@jarnekompier]

But like i know that isnt a reason for somebody to win but Anthony is one of the most kind and humble contestants in ink master ever. So i was really happy he won

[@lacywhitevalenti7234]

Jason's final "new school" (anime) tattoo was better than Cleen's "Color Realism" (new school) tattoo.

[@jpbyrne246]

Agreed

[@joninewazzup]

Cleen looks like he's done with all of it. He has lost not once, but twice, and he honestly looks like he just wants to go home, leave all of it behind him and get back to tattooing.

I think it's interesting how cleen didn't say anything

[@TariqTrance]

Yeah

[@viralvideo171]

He probably hates them all

[@Petaurista13]

Because it would look like he lost, but can't accept it and whine over it.

[@AngryBudgieNoises]

He instead says it all on social media

[@ilhan691]

No Anthony should have won.. Cleen should have won season 5 finale.

[@martinezandy15]

It’s like 2 parents arguing (both valid points) and Cleen is just sitting there like “can i go now ?”

[@InkAndPoet]

I agree, I kinda feel like Cleen wasn't really needed there.

[@LordMysticalBeast]

He was the only one that was asked... Christian said it

[@nasheeanjel9967]

how many times do they asked ppl that have pieces that look completed if they are unfinished or if they ran out of time? if ant stuck to the truth and just said what i have finished is better than the others it would be more understandable. i don't like that he is changing his story. his face off tat with jessie was unfinished and the 2 finale pcs. the dragon was odd too, but in the name of fairness consistent judging is all we ask.

[@CHASCHARLTON]

Crazy misticalbeast He was the only one that was asked because it was the only one that looked unfinished, you only ask the question where applicable.............. and his FULL sleeve was not a full sleeve , he is a fantastic artist but going by the rules he should not have won

[@sofiecota6775]

Chas Charlton Preach

[@jjjamiejoyce]

That’s because his looks unfinished and the other two don’t.

[@greywarden1261]

Cleen looks so done with it, he just doesn't care anymore. Art is subjective and to some Anthony pieces are unfinished, to others it's a choice.

[@simplegirl265]

Can we appreciate Christian for being fair saying both tattoos look unfinished and that Anthony was the only one asked if he finished his tattoo

[@darrensoogrim4093]

Finally Ink Master has the balls to admit that they screwed Kleen

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

They have total and complete aligence to Clean. Clean just is just human. He is good, but Jason, Anthony and othes are better thanhim.

[@Arrica101]

Couldn't have said that better myself.

totally

[@martinezandy15]

Exactly thank u!

[@TheShape.]

umm cleen did a FULL sleeve.. he COULD of not did a full sleeve and could of TERMINATED Anthony but no he stuck to the rules and got screwed over AGAIN

[@wendyneverland2377]

I'm standing with Dave, if he said he wasn't finished he shouldn't have won. That said, his tattoos were better

[@Vincent402591]

Cleen should have won on technecality.. just because of season 5. Just bs of the judges. Oliver Peck is a loose canon concering judging.

[@rabeyaali2176]

Oli went against Clean both times. One on technicality and once ignoring it. I think he just had something against him

[@eoinhickey1275]

Dave is an extremly smart man

[@miromontursunov2296]

They should judge, what they see not what they said

[@raeesaahmad5524]

Cleen finished but Anthony's tattoos were so much better so overall from each challenge he deserved the title

[@aliciahorton2075]

When Oli said at the end that Anthony's tatoos were better, he reminded me of a child the way he said it, like a child saying "my lego robot is better" idky, but here is another random comment😂

[@TheShape.]

Worst judge... worst FORMER judge 🙃

[@apte5055]

The real problem is when olly make jason won over cleen over the "challenge" reason. In season 5. We should ask olly

[@distressedmegan3364]

Dave's not taking Anthony's win very well is he

[@angoh694]

@@furak21 Anthony was so consistent throughout the whole season. He deserves the win, no matter if he did say or didn’t say his piece was unfinished

[@tomlehmann306]

Yeah they stopped cleen from winning s5 over a technicality and then they let Anthony win s7 even though he had technicality

[@umonkee]

There has been no consistency in judging, seems the rules changed all depending on who's being judged, definitely favortism shown resulting in BS eliminations and wins.

[@InkAndPoet]

Exactly, which explains why Scott wasn't eliminated in season four when Jay called him out for tracing his tattoo.

[@Petaurista13]

Yep. It looks like 3 guys are deciding which tattoo they feel like liking most without real rules why, just purely subjective thing and you can discuss it ages after voting anyway.

[@lizett6590]

So weird seeing Anthony without his braids!! 😂

[@Itsnoterinn]

Cleen looks so damn good in a suit and tie 🤤

[@SubsWithNoVideos-lw2lg]

Cleen didn’t say one word the entire time

[@sofiaboye3927]

Cleen was robbed twice and I'm still mad about it

[@missvida6251]

Anthony is better than cleen. I mean...it is obvious

[@lawsoe6089]

Chris wanted to vote for clean u can see it in his face but he new the other guy would pick Anthony

[@pcacciat61]

I just finished watching this season. First off, I was rooting for Anthony...HOWEVER Navarro is 100% right here. Anthony admitted his tattoo was unfinished...everyone could see it was unfinished. The fact that the first vote went to America was the mistake. Final 2 should have been Christian and Cleen. The judges basically set precedence that any finalist can show up with an unfinished piece and win. How is that possible when the same judges also declared an unfinished tat will never win tattoo of the week? Unfinished can't win weekly but can win 100k? 🤔

[@5Mariner]

I agree that Cleen should've won in season 5. But in my opinion, Christian Buckingham should've been the winner of season 7 with Anthony as the runner-up.

[@krisnatorres8809]

oliver really has anthony's back huh

[@surepal3985]

Personally, the white hair concept is interesting but he could have done more. I think it is believable to be under that pressure and accidentally say it was unfinished when he meant to say no... I'd rather have Anthony's tattoo

[@yanblanke9856]

Dave looks like he is trying to make it right after the Jason vote.

[@daniplaysoneasy-9454]

I didn't even recognize cleen at first, I've only seen him in shirt sleeves in the finales.

[@regreg7667]

They always said unfinished tattoos goes home during the season but it wons the finale

[@victoriadacostalamas]

To me, Christian had the best master cavases. The fact that the jury had to pick a finalist its b*shit.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Anthony’s piece was far better than Cleens... Finished or not..

[@samuelmuiga3101]

To be honest, Clean's tattoo on this one isn't clean, the values are very patchy and the legibility of the image is also affected by this.

[@espacespr6557]

Cleen Rock One should've won that shit.

[@adriantorres7858]

I feel bad for clean to have two losses and I mean he shouldn’t even have lost the first one if were being honest

[@johnluna3898]

No excuses Cleen got robbed TWICE but finally won on Season 11 and Oliver never voted him on all 3 season finales

[@InkAndPoet]

Cleen was also in Shop Wars, season 9 with Aaron, but they didn't even come close to the finale.

[@uhk1440]

There should have been a grudge match between Cleen vs Jason instead of Christian

[@HabboMewMew]

Anthony’s looked a million times better.

[@TheShape.]

Anthony DID NOT do a full sleeve. Anthony SAID his chest piece WAS NOT finished.. how can he even win?!?!?! Oliver said Anthonys were better than Cleens BUT Cleen ACTUALLY did a full sleeve! Imagine if Cleen only did the outer part like him.. EXACTLY! He'd of TERMINATED him! He had to make it more simple over time issues.. Cleen Robbed TWICE should be his new name thanks to them. The judges "except Dave" have these rules yet they only apply when they want them to. I feel that they let Anthony win because he's black and young.

[@lalobautistaaa9898]

Cleen is the best he got robbed twice which makes me furious but I’m glad I was able to go go Vegas to get a tattoo at one of his shops “ not done by Cleen “ and was able to at least tell the people in the shop that Cleen is the freaking Beast !

[@kevennava1476]

Thank God Anthony won.

[@thequeenashd9421]

I find it funny they have a problem but when Krusemen said he didn’t do a challenge they kept him over Earl

[@jukebox1138]

The judges on this show are totally inconsistent on how they judge

[@gregnelson8544]

I love you Anthony

[@gurglequeen433]

The judges are so inconsistent with their judging. One day they want more details, the next they think simple is better. For Cleen he didn't hit the challenge but it doesn't matter that two seasons later Anthony's piece doesn't look finished at all. Sometimes the judges just really piss me off.

[@togapika]

Or when they throw someone out based on their past work in one season, and then in another say "we have to judge only what's in front of us"

[@christophercruz1513]

Cristian should have one. He tattoo better than anyone.

[@Jess1234]

Christian still has Anthony’s back after that season

[@gumball8936]

I feel bad for cleen but i do think that anthony should have won

[@kellyingram3635]

Jason should have been no where near the finale.

[@penelopeviews7335]

If he hadn't finished the tattoo, he shouldn't have won. He might have had better tattoos over the course of the season, but it was the finale man. U can't fuck up then and he did. Clean should have won.

[@dinarice]

Quiet Cleen doesn’t look good to me :’(

[@escobart1110]

Im judging what i see -oliver peck

[@furak21]

Cleen is disappointed and i get it. He should have beeb a judge yet after so many things he went through, not failing at the very end again.

[@frankcastle9691]

cleen should have won.

[@martinezandy15]

To be completely honest Cleen should have won against Jason Clay Don. but Anthony is the clear winner here

[@mitchell314]

No he shouldnt he didnt do the challenge and Jason did

[@TheShape.]

+mitchell play overall Cleen was better.. how much times did Jason go to the bottom and also have the anxiety excuse? exactly the judges kept letting him stay there when he shouldn't of even been in the challenge... at least Dave sticks to the rules and Oliver and Chris change the rules to how they want.

[@mitchell314]

Its about the finale and jason had a better back piece thats why he won

[@nasheeanjel9967]

how so?

[@nabilelmaniaa6581]

After this "Final decision both are eliminated"

[@zacharydavis9526]

I don't see how it matters whether or not the tattoo is finished or what he said on stage. Just critique the tattoo

[@marco9561]

I would rather wear an "unfinished" tattoo that looks finished than a "finished" tattoo that has areas that looks unfinished

[@growandgame]

Clean looks out of place in his Stacy Adams suit :D

[@Paranormal_Nomad]

Still kinda mad Jason won season 5. Jason was on the bottom countless times while cleen was always on top.

[@eleanorrigby418]

seeing the judges argue is like a new level of critiquing

[@toddlatham9807]

Cleen got robbed.

[@17PAT17]

Christians was the best (didn't even like the guy) I think it's BS. They started doing two tattoos and you get booted out before they even see your final piece. And the final piece should be a blind judging.

[@angelharrison6836]

cleen got robed

[@AverageJoe1006]

Cleen Rock one you should have win this finale and the finale on season 5,your motivatation and dedication every time ,compared to the other so called inkmasters is phenomenal.if you ever read this YOU ARE the true inkmaster!! Ow and the judges? They screwed you every time over and over,saying thing that are not true.your tattoos are more colorfull,technical,more inspired,i guess they just don't like enough to let you win,Please make a comeback on season 9 and let those bastards choke on their bullshit crap tattoos.God bless you.

[@psychedelicblueberry8080]

Anthony did not finish his tattoo. No one can change my mind. Not only that but there was a season where Anthony and two other artist were coaching teams and he actually said I hate getting tattooed. No ink master should ever say that. Just saying

[@yvonnepatterson5042]

Anthony is the boss 💥💥💥

[@batgirlp5561]

I'm glad cleen shaved the beard.

[@Comaful]

Anthony got asked the question, he answered, yet the two judges still gave him their vote. I don't see what's the problem. Dave just wanted to give Cleen the title even though his sleeve had so many problems.

[@aamiru1019]

I think the judges were trying to make up for that bs win they handed Jason the season before. Yes cleen was rattled this season but he was still the most consistent tattooer. Anthony is a great tattooer so can’t take anything away from him, he completely deserved the win. Jason, while on the bottom numerous times, def did not deserve the win.

[@missvida6251]

Thank you Oliver. Anthony is a better artist. All of Cleen and his crooked teeth fan girls are delusional

[@sharkson7725]

I agree with oliver

[@jjjamiejoyce]

Judges say all the time you can’t win with an unfinished tattoo but yet they gave the win to Anthony. Jason lost all season to Cleen but never considered that gave Jason the win. I still can’t get over that! I think the judges have something against Cleen, he got robbed twice.

[@paulsshack2087]

i think oliver was right.

[@surfczar]

Anthony is an awesome artist, but he didn't finish either of his tattoo's. Technically he should not have won. Christian should have won, but he was not the popular choice.

[@almonjoseph4382]

Christians 2 tattoo was better collectively then Anthony and Cleens if we being honest

[@christineotp]

cleen was prolly irritated that the judges are talking bout his losses-

[@ahmedfayed5191]

Just because Cleen lost in season 5 because of a technicality doesn't mean he should beat someone else the same way.......... two wrongs don't make it right .

[@romneydunfee1480]

Everyone is talking ab cleen not talking or whether it was finished or not but nobody said anything ab how well articulated Dave was in his explanation. Like that’s how you go about voicing your opinion and even if you don’t agree with what he was saying you have to admit that he was very obviously true to what he was saying and has justifications to back his decision up

That's right! Anthony's were better!! Clean did some UGLY ass final pieces for the finale. It should have been Christian vs Anthony, then Christian should have definitely won Ink Master per final pieces, however Anthony did the best of ALL of them the entire season. The man is a true Artist and perfectionist. Anthony is my favorite Artist to come out of this show, second to him is Nikki Simpson

Bottom line for me, Anthony did NOT and does NOT deserve the title of Ink Master. Christian was robbed that season. Cleen was robbed AGAIN. Anthony is of a small amount of people I feel don't and i will NOT acknowledge as such. Not to mention, he's a monumental JERK in real life

[@vici7]

I did not like jasons win. he is an a*** towards clients. If I could have made the wins: cleen would have won against jason. christian would have won against cleen. and anthony won against cleen. so all of these awesome artists would have won once.
