Ink Master Tattoo Design Disasters 🤭

[@johnnycheckpoint8431]

I watch an unhealthy amount of Ink Master compilations for someone who doesn’t have many tattoos and has never seen an episode of Ink Master.

[@cactuscallie5090]

Yep! Same here! I have ZERO tattoos. But I do love the artwork and even though I'm way too much of a commitment-phobe to put anything permanent on my skin, I have so much respect for the art form and its something that is obviously very difficult and takes a LOT of talent to pull off. And I also don't watch actual full episodes because in a 1 hour episode you got 22 minutes of commercials, and another 22 minutes of filler sh*t - like reviewing the last 5 damn minutes of what JUST HAPPENED before a commercial break. Watching on YT is the perfect solution- all I see is thr actual tattooing.

[@cathybaldry7822]

Same but have been considering getting one for decades. Watching this has given lots of information about different tattooing techniques, styles and what to look for in the skills of an artist

The lion facing the armpit looks fine

[@SuperDemans]

I agree, if you look at tribal tattoos most of the images face the armpit because thats the way the body flows. They are trying to judge based on traditional tattoo rules and not the ways that tribal tattoos are done

[@TheBlueCreeper-]

Yeah. Specially when it’s subtle like that. You don’t even know it’s a lion until you look closer. AND the guy is right; tribal tattoos DO in fact face outwards.

Exactly

[@wamlartmuse]

Agreed. I let a tattooer.. not a real artist, talk me into facing my tattoo the wrong way because of this theory. It was my very first tattoo. I was at a shop, but the tattoo was less than good. I started doing tattoos myself soon after. I was already an artist though. It's not like the tribal lion knows it's facing an armpit... 🤦‍♂️. In my opinion it flows good. I mean was he supposed to incorporate the tribal into its mouth or face lol..

[@gabrieljude2478]

These guys are all insane. That lion facing the armpit looked awesome and didn't need to be facing the center. There are no rules to creating art. I would have been happy with that tattoo.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

unfortunately there are rules to creating a tattoo though, some styles just have a lot of rules if you want a proper tattoo to that style, but if I remember right for Tribal the facing outwards is actually right, the inwards is better for other styles for sure.

1:50 I'm fine with that tat. Great design, looks good. I think when it comes to chest and back pieces, the direction of the face is subject to the design and doesn't look weird if its done right like this one.

What about if/when he does the other side of his chest? Could be a lioness; would change the context completely. I like it.

[@millieboon]

The lion was not tucked up into the arm pit 🤨tho

[@LadyTofu]

The whole "it's backwards" and "it's eyes are the wrong way" is bs to me, its art and art is subjective and everyone likes something different. The tattoos themselves are gorgeous.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

Ye, I think it's because rules do exist and when you are in a competition you should probably be following those rules. Eyes forward can be a rule, and make tats with faces a lot more striking and easier to show off especially when you don't have to go around other tats and have all this free space to use. Plus, some styles just have more rules you got to follow if you want a true tattoo to the style, like Japanese.

[@Daydream_N]

​@@Reptile_Gecko but if it's a rule they should have it stated somewhere other than during the judging. It's like they're making up rules as they go along

[@allhopeisgone4]

Watch some more of the tattooed people. This rule is pretty good for most of the tattooers, because rarely there is such a unique design, that this particular rule could be thrown under the bus. Look on overall composition of the body, and "flow" of the tattoo.

[@BiteSizedCyberCrime]

@@Daydream_N They showed a pretty good demonstration of why the rule exists when they showed the tattoo looks awkward when the guy's arm is positioned naturally.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

@@Daydream_N the rules aren't made in the competition though, they are part of the tattoo industry, for example a Japanese tattoo is not a true Japanese style tattoo if it does not follow the rules made for that set style, and in reality the rules have been there every season. If you are aware enough to sign up for a tattooing competition, you're aware enough to follow the rules of tattooing.

[@thatoneharpergirl]

But also that seems pretty common for Tribal tats and looks completely fine, it is the first one the coloured tiger I'd say would look better especially if the guy wanted to show it off if it looked forward, if he wanted it looking back fine, some people have meanings for that, but otherwise you'd do forward ready to attack.

This was an amazing series. Wish they would bring back. The judges were fantastic.

[@cassie772]

i hate the new season tbh

[@saltdoll5288]

I don’t know why mistakes that were seen *before* the tattooing started couldn’t be pointed out, considering that these things are permanent. The artist’s talent should still be enough to help them win. (The drawing, lines, saturation, etc. etc.) I remember the episode when the deity’s thumbs were backwards. I feel like the competitors who saw that and let it be inked onto the “canvas” any way, should’ve lost points.

[@Highspirekid13]

They have a new season on like Paramount or something with different judges though

[@andrewblancheiii4464]

@@cassie772 Agreed I got to ep 2 and turned it off. Nunez, Peck, and Navarro have such a unique chemistry cemented in 10 seasons. The guest judges and past winners kept it fresh, and the technical knowledge and detail ed critiques really brings the suspense of how close or surprising an elimination or tattoo of the day is. (unless someone complete botched or dominated the challenge) The new judges/ host don't do for me. Luckily we have 10+ seasons I can re watch. To bad about Peck. We will never get that magic again...

@@saltdoll5288 This is a drama show, the drama is held to a higher want than an actual competition, they bring shit people in exactly for that, I wished they brought in people that actually could do it, yk?

[@ATLAoftheHill]

Really don't agree with the "facing in" rule. If that's what works for that tatto, great. But I have several that face out and the design just goes better than if it was flipped. But that's what comes with a subjective judging show, to each his own.

It was too late bc she already had the outline of the skull

@@burabojan even though it's a competition, it is more because the drama is held higher than actual good quality tattoos, plus they don't actually have a time limit like you'd think for a competition that's all show for the viewer.

[@somewhereupthere785]

I feel like "faces pointing in" is an old way of looking at tattoos. If it's a lion or something like that, doesn't pointing out mean it's ready for danger? Like it can see it coming? It's a defensive or even offensive posture.

[@alecgatts666]

If it was in the way the judges think are right, I think it would of looked ehh, I liked it facing the armpit but just preferred that way

[@Reptile_Gecko]

I think it depends on the rules you follow, typical tribal seems to face out or in this case the armpit, but more modern rules or other styles would have it be facing forward, like the coloured tiger in the intro it looks wonky if you try to show someone especially when they weren't having to work around other tattoos.

The boat flag is going the correct way they are wrong about that. any image of a yacht / sailboat with a flag is the same as hers. Sails forward, flag back.

[@Maerahn]

It does kind of defy the laws of physics though. If the sails are billowing forward, that means the wind is coming from *behind* them, i.e FROM *back* TO *front.* Which would mean the flag would also have to be following the direction of the wind, i.e FROM *back* TO *front.*

[@williamsmart1767]

@@Maerahn not always because when your travelling forward there’s drag in the air so things smaller than the sail like a flag may fly the opposite direction due to the speed the boat is travelling. When travelling at speed for instance your hair will go towards the rear of the boat not the way the wind is blowing in the sails.

[@johnthegreek1980]

Competition led that lady to take advice from another person that wants to eliminate her.

Arlene was correct about the flag. The judges were wrong. The forward propulsion of the sails creates a backward wind that causes the flag to fly in the opposite direction. Newton’s third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
