Best (& Worst) Dave Navarro Tattoos 🦇 Ink Master

[@riakun]

The final section of Dave asking the guy to tattoo a little dagger on him so the artist could get redemption was so sweet. He seems like a pretty genuine guy

[@DavidaVeddar]

LOVE Dave Navarro- you’re right, he is seriously the heart and soul of this show between jokey hardass Peck and serious hardass Nuñez who I WATCHED constantly stumble and fuck up on Miami Ink under ( brilliant hardass) Ami James. As a musician he’s untouchable as a rock god but as a person humble and cool, I really think he’s the reason the show was GREAT and not just for people totally into the technical aspects of tattooing and becoming a tattoo artist

[@RichKathsLife]

HE REALLY IS... :) THAT'S WHY MANY OF US LOVE AND ADMIRE HIM.

[@SirBarth]

Steve did NOT want to take Nick's redemption. You could just see it in his face. Then to have her completely shit all over Nick - Dave was watching and had to intervene. THAT is how you win people to your show.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

@@SirBarth Yeah, that was pretty cool of Steve, especially since most of the artists shit all over each other.

[@carterarmstrong2154]

For the good luck/bad luck challenge, I thought the rabbits foot and the rabbit missing his foot was genius.

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

Those are the ones I did not like, cause I've read about the rabbits foot. They are cut off from the rabbit while they are still alive, and they kill multitudes of them for this horrible stupid trend, it's really very sad. I liked the 7 with the skull inside.

[@educostanzo]

So cute to notice that the first girl's heart was melting when she was called a beautiful girl by the subject of the tattoo she was about to get.

[@envymordecai4429]

His reaction to hearing she was getting his portrait is super cute.

[@Shan-si2kq]

I LOVE the Rabbit’s Foot/Rabbit designs!! It’s so cool and definitely tells a story with it!

[@2nicnag2]

I would have chosen those two designs out of them all by the same guy.

[@brennanmoran1739]

it's tough watching this sometimes, cus that first dave tattoo wasn't bad at all. when you have such seasoned tattooists judging people (plus a competitive environment), it can get so nitpicky that it sounds like that canvas walked away with something awful. but it's still very recognizable as dave, and he isn't wearing a giant black helmet in it. I'd be happy if I were that canvas.

[@brennanmoran1739]

@J Nix I think for sure, yeah. Another pass with some more black would just bring it further. But as it stands, I personally think it still rocks.

[@jayceew.rabbit9358]

I agree! I like that tat better out of the two of Dave also! Great job!

[@rickylazcano7685]

@J Nix its an average tattoo. Definitely not bad by any means but for what their competing for, it is bad in a sense.

[@mech0p]

@@rickylazcano7685 for someone that hasnt done a portarit in 5 yrs i though he did pretty good. Def not the best one ive seen but no leather face either.

[@TheFemaleCritic]

Didn’t really sound like they made the tattoo out to be awful. Just sounded like constructive criticism based on the challenge and what they are looking for in this competition. Nothing they said made it seem like the tattoo was awful, they never said that. The tattoo was just far from what was expected.

[@HPGIRL1109]

I like that both dave and steve were supportive of nick with the litza thing. steve straight up said he did not want to tattoo her and even when she picked his design pointed out that nick drew what she asked for and he didn't. he was clearly there for nick.

[@kristinarobinson5277]

Dave is a very good looking man, its sweet that he was so shocked that someone would want his face on their body

[@kappalord8666]

He knew he is staged

[@felipebr0000]

Idk if I'm fangirling or what, but the fact that Dave is so chill and easy going just makes him even more attractive, aside from his gorgeous looks

[@ashleyt6840]

I love how Steve tried to defend Nick by stating that he did do everything that she had asked for. She’s one of the most unhinged ppl I’ve seen on this. If she flip flops on some of the most important things I can’t imagine the ordeal it would be to stand behind her at a coffee shop. 😂

[@kaylinsmith6921]

It was the weirdest composition, too? Like...the tail was coming out of her face? Nope.

[@KediKatzen]

That scene gave me so much more respect for Steve. I honestly think he learned more into what he wanted over what she wanted to give Nick more of a chance.

[@charlieflickinger7372]

This. I feel like Steve intentionally gave her something that he felt she wouldn't want, just to prove Nick's point about her being a tough customer...and she 100% proved them correct.

[@ashleyblack4993]

It was hilarious watching Steve's reaction as she's naming the random things that she "wants" in the tattoo. I couldn't help but just laugh and think poor Nick who has to sit through this all over again. At least this time, Nick wasn't alone when dealing with it!

[@oriaaspenalexander]

Dave Navarro seems like such a kind genuine person, and he plays the guitar; what a cool human.

[@mariethesizzler]

He killed that. I think his taco was better but hers showed better dimension

[@Eternally_Moon]

​@@aiden4016TACO LMFAO

[@Scarleto]

I preferred Tatu Baby's coffin legs over the final execution of the planchette. Those halo lines are really dark and the way they go through the window throws off the dimensions and rhythm of the look. Either have them on the outside only or make them a different colour. Dark red on brown wasn't a great legibility choice. Not to mention it's upside down, and none of it's symmetrical. The negative space being crooked in the window especially is a bummer - it's just off enough that it was probably supposed to be central but isn't. I can get Dave being touched about how personalized the design was to him, though. Jason played it real smart and was observant about his client, and that's important, too. But Tatu pulled out lots of tricks and those legs and wings were mad cute. The boxiness of the coffin made sense with the cute thicc legs. The proportion in the box is a bit skewed but I don't think it's as egregious as the asymmetry of the planchette, and the colours are readable. Out of all of them I preferred the rabbit's foot vs the rabbit though. That was dope. If this didn't need two winners that probably woulda won.
