[@nikitashaitan9984]

Not really. As someone who works in art industry i’d say it like that: Sometimes clients ask you to be an artist, so you go off and make your masterpiece. Or at least try creating one. Sometimes customers approach you like a service of getting an image they want. And it usually not the kind of image you’re willing to create because it’s not in your pull of elements, not in your manifest and etc. like you’re only doing black and white and they come ask you do full color. That’s not your artistic vision and you’re not comfortable doing it. Mike surely had been approached to serve. There was no Mike in that tattoo. And that’s why he said that thing. It’s not narcissistic. It’s not even selfish to ask to be approached like an artist and not like a waiter. She’s just not his target audience

I love that Sebastian and Frank both seem to understand that the "canvases" are ACTUAL people. The other ones treat the people getting tattood as a piece of paper or something. Yes, a tattoo is a piece of art that an artist makes. But they make it for a PERSON who has to live with it for the rest of their lives!! Mike was delusional. "How dare you add something to MY PIECE?!" BRO ITS *HER* BODY, ITS NOT Y O U R S!! The other guy with the 100.000 dollar thing was the same. "you cost me a $100.000". The guy wanted a tattoo (which again, he'll have to live with for the rest of his life), it's not HIS fault you couldn't deliver. It's called Ink MASTER, not Ink Master in just this one style of tattoo. The "IM AN ARTIST, I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!" comment is also INSANE Julie.... Julie you had 3 people saying your tattoo's suck. If all 3 of their tattoos also actually do suck, its most likely that you're just not that good of an artist. It just surprises me how far these people have the own head up their ass😭😭

[@missaniebananie6473]

I disagree with the Kyle comment. Kyle is unstable but that dude signed up for a free tattoo that had to fall within the confines of a challenge. I have tons of tattoos, I have paid for all of them and I still compromise all the time and it is for the best. I know that if I was a canvas on this show I would accept that I may have to compromise my vision. Very rarely do canvases actually know better than the artists. Tough canvases that get good artists that end up with trash tattoos are almost always due to the canvas being unwilling to give up control and trust their artist.

[@fairyeater-o]

no no no no no i thought it wasnt a big deal on the 100k one as well until i thought about it for literally 1 second, the short plump guy was purely in it to try and get 50k his piece that he wanted purely didnt fall in line with what the judges wanted so the customer was totally in the wrong here

I agree, Frank really did show he cared as well, he moved away to get out of his comfort zone to get better, and when he saw the man and his wife, he made sure that they BOTH were happy and not just the client, he shows that he respects the clients and their family. He asked them both for opinions and said he’d change the drawing to their liking as much as they wanted, he apologized and said he only wanted to make the client happy, not for his reputation. Serious respect for him.

[@maranduhjean]

Unfortunately sometimes you don’t realise you don’t vibe until it’s too late I had an artist who decided to force me to take a 30 minute break, even tho I told him my skin is reactive and swells quickly so I don’t do breaks, all bc he got mad his shopmates were eating lunch without him and wanted to go eat and watch a movie. Same tattoo: decided he was going to change the colour palette without asking me, and when I wanted things edited while there was still time to do so he said no. Just see how this heals and if you still don’t like it come back within 60 days and I’ll touch it up for free. The lining healed blotchy and I had blowouts and you can see scratch marks all through the ink bc they didn’t fully saturate and when they tried to go back over things it was too late bc my arm swelled up and stopped taking ink. It’s just an overall bad tattoo and not what I asked for even tho the original stencil was exactly what we talked about. “Creative vision” has no place in tattoos if you can’t be bothered to communicate your vision ahead of time

I recall how Mike constantly talked about being an EMT in the past on season 3, and I wonder if he should've stayed an EMT, or if other first responders could not work with him either. Imagine being in distress, like "Help, I broke my arm" and EMT Mystical Mike comes along with his superior knowledge of art and body structure, and starts doing cartwheels around you.

You kinda can't lose a job as a tattoo artist. Your employement doesn't depend on a boss. If you get asked to leave one studio, there's always more that will take you. There's plenty of studios owned by people who are much worse than Mike, sadly. Unless your license is fully taken away from you.

[@Blue-wz5um]

Mike, Kyle, and Julia dont deserve to tattoo people after proving they don't respect their clients they only care about their ego. Tattooing is not just making art, it's giving someone a life experience and leaving them with a work of art for the rest of their lives. These three tattoo artists treated their clients like they should be happy they even looked in their direction, regardless of how the tattoo turned out. Disgusting people

[@dopaminefiend6182]

@@Blue-wz5um Sorry but Kyle did nothing wrong. If you're going on this show as a canvas you should be flexible and expect to compromise your idea to fit that week's challenge. You aren't there to get whatever kinda tattoo you want for free, and too many people just see this as an opportunity to get a free tattoo and that is the issue. It's a competition after all. Kyle doesn't care about his ego, he cares about his chances in the competition.

[@Blue-wz5um]

@@dopaminefiend6182 my problem with Kyle was mostly how he screamed in the canvases face right off the bat. I dont trust any grown man who screams like that. Especially because he acts so entitled to the 100k. He sees the canvas as the entire reason he lost and I didnt see the episode this tattoo was from but I dont think it was just the canvas. I know sometimes they do get people who don't wanna work with the artist but it sounds like they compromised and it still didn't fit the theme for some reason. Thats on Kyle for not being flexible as an artist. Instead of having humility and thinking about maybe where he went wrong, he sees this one guy as the entire reason he lost. And when alls said and done the tattoo faded and doesn't even look that great anymore despite kyles "mastery" of black and grey. Idk what the canvas did to take care of the tat or how long hes had it, maybe hes spent a lot of time in the sun or something but it could also be on Kyle's skill.

[@ithalathegayguy]

@@dopaminefiend6182 I mean, seeing how it ended up, he wouldn't have deserved to win the challenge even if it HAD been deemed to fit the theme. Damn near none of the details held up, showing that it wasn't well done to begin with. He's gotta share some culpability for trash work

I agree with the first girl. You can't be selfish or cocky as an artist. There is a difference between confident and cocky. Cocky people don't know how to listen and always believe they are right. And even though an artist has to be able to speak to their art, it's THEIR body, and you have to make sure the client is happy with the work.

[@lousialb8962]

And in the real world, EVERYONE associates a tattoo with the person whose body it's on. Relatively few care anything about who the artist is. How does someone like Mike not understand this? His client is absolutely correct in asserting her sovereignty over her body, what's on it, whether she likes that, and whom she chooses to have the privilege of working on it.

What you want is a really talented artist who will give you enough of what you want without sacrificing their vision. If you can’t take critique, become a painter. You need people skills to be a tattoo artist.
