Ink Master Canvases Who Refused the Tattoo 😤 Ink Master

Ink Master artists are randomly paired with canvases: some are easygoing, others are not. These artists couldn’t reach an agreement with their canvas about the tattoo they were about to get, leaving them in a tough spot.

[@sushigurl28]

Exactly. When he said he’s trying to calm down, she should have backed off instead of continuing to prob him. Some peoples’ responses to stress and anger is that they shake, he’s not nervous, just angry.

[@kayleeruiz]

Danger had a point. Being a master tattooer has nothing to do with “knowing how to deal with problem clients”. Every real life master tattooer will REFUSE any client they want to, especially if they’re giving them a hard time.

[@gothicMCRgirl]

Yeah, that goes for any artistic job, be it a painting, a logo, web design, whatever. If the artist and the client can’t meet in the middle, then the artist has the right to move on and not work with that person, cause what’s the point? The result is going to upset the client no matter what, so it’d be a waste of time.

[@idk-nq7pv]

​@@qs4177 I think it's safe to say you've never worked retail in your life if that's your mindset. Sometimes "knowing how to deal with customers" is telling them they need to leave because it's not okay to treat people like garbage. Despite what you might think the customer is NOT always right, and you don't deserve my respect if you're going to treat me like that. NO ONE should just have to get used to people treating them like shit.

[@goofyproductions48_61]

I respect Danger for not tattooing himself. Even though the judges tried to say he had the perfect opportunity and client (himself), he didn't want that tattoo and that's a decision that cost him the competition, but ultimately saved him from having regrets about getting a tattoo he ultimately didn't even want.

[@carlareis2360]

Yeah, but at the same time I was thinking "if he doesn't want that Fenix tattooed, why should her?" Im not saying she was right, she was clearly being intentionally difficult from the start. But he did say that he didn't want the design tattooed on him, making me think that it was not about the occasion, but the design.

​@@carlareis2360Not wanting a design on you doesn't means anything. First it wasn't really what the prompt was about, and he was just trying to be flexible with her while still getting the prompt done, so there was no time to make another design and the current didn't fit his style.

[@trisarahtops1092]

Honestly, I think Danger was totally right to tell that person that he wasn't the right tattoo artist for her. Artists have just as much a right to feel safe as their clients do. She repeatedly disrespected his boundaries, yelling and berating him when he asked her to walk away so that he could calm down. Being an artist definitely means being able to work with and compromise with your canvases, but it doesn't mean having to take abuse.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

Yeah she was out the gate acting crazy and negative and combative. She immediately said I hate every single one of your designs and nothing like that is going on my body. It was so unnecessarily aggressive I think she did it on purpose to get more camera time on the show. I feel bad for him.

[@joshc.6706]

Exactly. Also I think when the judges say you need to know how to get along with your clients. Yeah maybe on the show. In real life any respectable artist would have told Danger’s canvas to get the hell out of their shop if she pulled that BS.

[@kiasta1]

Yeah she really had a serious attitude. If she didn't like the tattoo she could have gone a whole other route than be rude and condescending for no reason. Like it's not hard to disagree with someone and be cordial about it.

[@toddpacker867]

The whole show is ridiculous. It's essentially the Americas next top model of the tattooing world. I can't imagine many world class artists would take it seriously.

He is trying to professional he even walks away to gather himself then follows nagging at him. Well your hand is shaking. He tells her he trying to calm down and focus to work and she starts in berating him. I don't blame him one bit. She was in the wrong no matter that judge said. He would through her ass to the curb long before James did.

[@lynnmeyers4642]

@Nonaya Bidness lets see she knew what the challenge was coming into the episode. She knew that the challenge was texture. She would not work with him at all. He tried to get her involved by asking her about this or that she refused to tell him anything. The guy changed the design 3 times before she was okay with it. Then the day of tattooing she starts instigating drama. I understand that it's her body she has the right but the way say she treated him I can guarantee everyone of them would have tossed her as out the first day. There has to be two way communication between both the artist and the canvass, she was the one who wasn't willing to work with him.

Exactly, and it's not like they're going on blind.

But tbh his design was on point! I understand she was not feeling comfortable, but like girl - u signed to get a free tattoo, u didn't like but it's not like u were paying for that or giving anything except your body. If you're going to nitpick designs just go to the artist you like and pay for that like a normal human being and not sign up for a competition tattoo. In addition to that, I think that his behaviour was off because he was stressed as hell and scared, maybe even disappointed in himself and his previous design. He wanted redemption and a possibility to prove himself once again in being an artist but this opportunity was destroyed before he even started. As a tattoo artist myself, I would also be sad and angry and hurt that I lost this kind of chance, so I don't think it's okay to shame him for his stern attitude. Not a problem that she refused but also not a problem that he was feeling human emotions.

After watching a good bit of this show I can say for sure that the best possible way, as a canvas, to leave with a great tattoo is to come in with multiple ideas of very simple designs that could work with many different styles. For example, come in knowing an animal you would want tattooed, a monument, a historical figure, a symbol, a planet, a flower, a quote etc... and then make it as simple as possible and put it in a location that is easy to tattoo (if you are able to choose location). At this point in time anyone wanting to be a canvas on the show should do their homework and watch a few seasons so they get an idea of challenges to expect and can see how complicated tattoos on fussy canvases turn out. You are getting a free tattoo on a TV competition. It is not like you walked into their shop, threw down 2 grand and can get exactly what you want in the style you like. If that is what you want, then find a good artist and pay up.

Honestly as a hairstylist that has to work on clients as well… I respect James for telling a client that had the potential of not being happy no matter what he did that he was NOT the artist for her.

Natalie picked and picked at Danger on purpose. She said herself she wanted him to change his attitude, not the design, that was so toxic. She made problems with him because she never intended to get a tattoo in the first place. Also the judges said to kiss her ass and do what she wanted, but in later challenges they bashed artists for doing just that. They have literally told artists to not give the canvases a choice and to do what they think is best. And of course he didn't want a colorful feminine phoenix on himself that he designed for someone else.

And going on and on about how you're a human, while ignoring the human who is clearly distressed doesn't look good. I felt so bad for him. Even though he lost the competition, he made the right choice. It's not right to be expected to get a permanent tattoo you don't want over a competition, and one person being a jerk to you.

If I was James I would have immediately asked for another canvas. That lady was an absolute piece of work. The ink masters are just show producers before they are actual artists.

I think of the most awful parts of the entire Danger's situation is that everybody else looking at his situation externally just said suck it up and kiss her ass, people should never be treated the way he was treated and the fact they just told him that is the reason people now a day is entitle cause people think they deserve the best service when in reality what we deserve is just regular and in on us as customers to make that regular be better or worst depending how we treat an employee.

A baby calf. It’s just a calf. Calf literally means baby cow.

Danger seems like such a sweetheart and I’m pissed at how everyone is talking down to him

Alishaba should have gotten another chance, her tattoo was good, especially considering the circumstances.

[@levsen7951]

I feel like she would've done really well. I liked her personality.

[@Randy-ry9ss]

I would have wore that tattoo....Looked really good.

[@freddieperkins6953]

Looked really good design wise, and I don't know how those paint drips from the eye could have been done better. I think they should do a season giving a second chance to artists who went out in the first challenge, they gave Cleen enough chances to win

[@craig3240]

I after this season I stopped watching. Did she ever try out again?

[@twizaa]

i would have loved that tattoo
