There was DEFINITELY a bias. The guest judge was the main proponent. Even Navarro said that he'd wear Jamie's tattoo over Sarahs, but the guest judge pushed against Jamie.

[@kingivan2609]

He really did. I’m rewatching it’s and they never mention his lack of tattoos until that episode.

[@SrbijaCG]

@@kingivan2609 yeah, youre right. Honestly, Im not observant at all. I didnt notice it till they brought it out in the show. -> and when the contestants draw on his arms to ease the mood, the guest judge called it an insult.

[@satinelover4068]

The guy when liked Jamie's tattoo but decided to tell about his lack of tattoos

[@wizevmkloarm3462]

@@felix-ve8jk how does not getting a tattoo yourself show lack of tattooing skill? That's like saying bald people wouldn't be good at dressing hair. If anything you should be looking at the artists past tattoos on other people, cause chances are most tattoos on themselves are from other artists anyway.

[@Digest125]

@@felix-ve8jk You don't have to have tattoos on yourself to prove your a good tattooer? Like almost every job field. For cooks, you don't have to like a certain dish to do it. For mechanic, you don't have to own a certain car to fix it. Ect

[@kingivan2609]

Jamie was robbed. Sarah should have been eliminated she was in the bottom two more often. Pretty arrogant for the guest judge to basically gun for him just because lack of tattoos.

Explain why having a tattoo makes you a better tattoo artist.

[@Sof2098]

@monzterrr No, it's disrespectful to judge an artist's ability by their choices of their body and not on their talent, hard work and the finished product. That's basically saying you aren't a good painter on canvas if you don't paint yourself, or you're not a better hairstylist if you're bald.

[@taniaackerman]

​@monzterrr I'm studying to be a surgeon, should I have surgery first to know what's up?

[@taniaackerman]

@monzterrr Knowing my teachers and my surgeon friends, I can confidently say that no, it's not most of them. Plastic surgeons do have higher chances of having procedures done, albeit most are minor or non invasive, but not other specialties.

[@smallville4351]

He should have said he didn’t have any because he has not found someone as good as himself to give him one.

[@jiovannividro3438]

Getting eliminated cuz u dont have tatoos is stupid in my opinion that's different and unique and artist who dont have tatoos can have the same skill or even better skills then some artist who have tatoos

[@M3M33thousand]

jvtheclutch Exactly! If a bald person is a hairstylist does them not having hair take away from the years of experience they’ve had with doing it? That really pissed me off while watching the show.

It’s like telling a surgeon they can’t operate unless they had surgery themself.

[@cabbagepatchcemetery5308]

It was kinda wholesome how everyone doodled tattoos on him after the harsh critique

[@ValenexRawr]

You should watch the other season of Ink Master, they voted off an artist because he didn't have any tattoos on his body! Watching the episode, the judges talked about how the artist didn't have any tattoos & should. The artist goes on about how tattooed people complain about not getting jobs because of tattoos and it would be stupid if they voted him off because he didn't have any... which they ended up doing. Personally, I thought it was a stupid reason to be voted off.

[@blueblue2338]

That's this season clown also it's the next episode

[@rducky136]

He was called Jamie. It his boys and his decision if doesn’t want tattoo doesn’t make. Any less of an artist my hairdresser bold doesn’t bother me

[@ValenexRawr]

@@rducky136 I never said anything about agreeing with it, I thought it was a stupid reason to vote him off. I couldn't recall his name thanks for putting a name to a face! The logic was stupid af, that's like saying you need piercings to be a piercer, or wear makeup to be a makeup artist.

[@cledarvid6485]

It is perfectly possible to appreciate the historical tradition and the cultural elements of body art without having any tattoos yourself. The choice for going ink-free cannot logically have any impact on your talent.

[@SrbijaCG]

I just finished the 2nd season. Even Navarro said that he would rather wear Jamies tattoo than Sarahs, but the guest judge kept pushing against Jamie, and they sent him home.

[@jeffreymark475]

He would have made it to the finals for sure. It's not a guarantee he would have won but he definitely would if had a good shot at winning

[@Lex-lw9bb]

Just saw this episode and I must say it really pissed me off. Part of the reason I've held off on getting tattoos is because of my worry on how any future employers would hold that against me. A tattoo artist was one of the few jobs I thought was safe from that type of social ridicule, so for that guest judge to go and call Jaime out like that just blew my mind. I don't care how good and well known that guest judge is; he just lost all my respect. How are you ever going to expect all professions to be openly acceptable of tattoos when you have a well known artist in the tattoo world turn around and pull the same shit. On TV for everyone to see non the less. Such a shame.

[@17Jroach]

[@EsotericTherapy]

@@alexsanchez0700 I don't give an actual fuck who he is. What he did to Jamie is the worst sort of arrogant tattoo artist's gate-keeping bullshit. A mature, level-headed, secure professional understands that everyone is different and approaches their vocation and personal choices differently so there's no point expecting other people to do as you do; just judge them on their merits. But he judged Jamie for not having tatts and basically got him kicked off the show, because the other judges pussied out in agreement with him instead of pushing back (they had never taken issue with Jamie before Mike chimed in). This dick earned his way onto my forever shitlist for the Jamie incident.

[@yulana990]

Good for you, but maybe try to figure out WHY you have this weird judgement. The majority of tattoos that tattoo artists get are also done by OTHER artists. Them having amazing tattoos on their back for example says nothing about their skill, but instead someone else's. Theres plenty of bald hairdressers that cut amazing hair, and male hairdressers who cut womens hair even though theyve never had long hair themselves. It makes no sense.
