[@michaelrein5207]

One thing I’ve learned from being a tattoo enthusiast and getting a fair amount is the person getting the tat will like it… and not too many others. Everyone has their own style.

Holy fucking shit. That Wes Art tattoo is fucking incredible. That guy got an instant follow on IG. I wanted an American traditional sleeve on my left arm, and his style is exactly what I want. I’ve started a sleeve on my right arm already. Might have to make a trip to Denver!

[@TheRheverend]

Why would a tattoo artist ever post a video complaining about his job? If I wanted a tattoo and saw a video like that, the last person I’d ever go to would be him. Id feel so awkward, worrying the whole time he’s working about how much the guy doesn’t want to be there

[@sevthedruidssubversivereco1203]

That no stencil artist is immortal. Thats a nightmare

[@Happytravellerkimmy]

This video made me laugh so much. At this point I'm just here to listen to Kirk call it as he sees it. I don't even know if I'm going to get another tat, but this channel is fun, good vibes all round.

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

The guy who critiques fine artists saying they just do a mural every 6 months clearly doesn't know what he's talking about 😂 I work in an art gallery and the artists are working daily on their craft, because they have to pay their rent like everyone else

[@jimjimson6208]

There probably are fine artists that could sell a piece every six months and still make ends meet... just like there are tattoo artists that could do the same. Those are the lucky ones, the reality is that 95% of people in creative industries will bust their asses every day. I'm a traditional artist and seeing a tattoo artist go off against an entire medium is crazy, you would think artists would have more solidarity for each other, especially living in these times.

[@hailyjohnson407]

The style of tattoos im interested in is definitely more along what that girl wanted for her flowers. Even though my style is very different from what you like, I still feel like I learn a lot from your videos from the technical perspective to help me pick better artists and tattoos that will hold up better (having an outline, what colors tend to fade, how details age with time) when I do get my realistic-ish style flowers! I want my tattoos to age well, but I also want to get tattoos that I love, and I enjoy learning from your perspective!

[@inb4230]

DON'T take the word of one artist as the gospel,the tattoo you want WILL HOLD for MANY years if you choose someone that knows what they're doing, don't listen to BULLSHIT that's usually said by people that go " i want to be a tatooer(NOT ARTIST!) but I'm not good at drawing, I don't know perspective, or colour theory,light and shadow,got no imagination or talent, so I'll just become a one trick pony stencil tracer and sht talk the guys that do ,and call it a day!". I can straight up direct you to people showing 6,7 years healed colour work that looks exactly like when it was fresh on video,unfortunately there's several types of tattoo artists,the good ones that started when you had to be multi talented and tattoo a tribal tattoo today, a realistic butterfly tomorrow,a neotrad girl the next day and a lettering tattoo the next, then you got the one trick pony tracers that simply learned the basics, line pack shade and immediately called it a day and assumed they knew everything, and finally the ones that are basically like the one trick ponies, learned the basics, called it a day in studying but still assume they can do what people that put the mileage on their craft do.Avoid 2 and 3 and you'll be fine

[@KROOX]

[@CoopersVapingView]

Funny thing: About the Ink Master clothing choices. I was on Tattoo Nightmares Miami (Season Finale). They didn't like the shirts I had brought with me, and made me wear a purple shirt every time I was supposed to be on camera. P.S. They also changed around the story of how I got the original tattoo.

[@jriley8614]

I've always wondered what tattooers think of Ink Master. It seems so manufactured. Thanks for your insight!

[@martist911wasits-not-real4]

Tattooist since 1993. Owned a chain of shops and it's 💯 manufactured. One of my guys was on a "reality" cake making series and he was also a singer in a band. They manufactured his persona into a marriage proposal. The "call" from his successful New Orleans "proposal" was made from down the street in a parking lot. It has made the craft and industry into a horde of egomaniacs and doesn't reflect reality at all.

[@jriley8614]

​@@martist911wasits-not-real4 thanks for your input man, that's wild

[@Roanoak]

As a professional artist I work 7 days a week... I have clients and deadlines and I animate. Some pieces I can do in a day. Some take me 3 months. There is no easy way to stay motivated. The artist that can do like two pieces a year, three pieces a year. That is so rare and that would be a great goal, but it's not realistic in the world of art. 90% of artists are churning out client work more than their own and it becomes soul bleeding. So that guy can shut up because some of my art will take me forever and when it comes down to the finish cost, I'm basically making sometimes $4 an hour on certain pieces.

[@veronicahutchinson4580]

Just ran across your channel recently and you have me actually really wanting to start tattooing again 12 years in I had some back issues and life stuff that made it easy to put my gear in storage but watching you has me thinking about busting it out . That Traditional sleeve is noiceee and Damn Aaron Norton is bad ass!!

[@sarahlabbe9779]

Not me getting both of my knees done at a convention... Along with 7 other tattoos that weekend. I did get sick afterwards but I had a jolly good time!

[@Rugmunchersauce3]

Did you poop on the tattooist? I did.

[@fuggintighttattoo]

Wait , so @sarahlabbe9779 you got both knees on the same day ? Was your boyfriend mad 😮 ? What a fucking dick 😂😂 You think you got sick from to much ink or just the overall stress and trauma to the body ? Is the other comment being serious about pooping ? Or you just talking shit ? Either way will y'all be my friends ?

[@haellas]

I LOVE your vocabulary. As an ESL I need to incorporate "goofy" more than any offensive words.

[@scottishsamba]

The arm tattoo @11:50 is absolutely beautiful and flawless. Love your reviews & videos, as always! ❤😊

[@agnoopinni]

I think Kirk is even more handsome than heroin chic handsome male model guy 🤭

[@CarboneCat]

The male model tattoos at 4:00 looks like some scripts with some renaissance era astrology drawings… ish in that spirit.

[@vectorwolf]

I've got some UV ink in my half sleeve, but it's more of an Easter egg than anything. There's a biohazard symbol hidden amongst some leaves and flowers. It's just orange (as it should be) but it's UV reactive. I work in the haunt industry so I'm in blacklight more than most people and it's neat to see it peeking out from the dark leaves. I've been thinking of adding a radiation symbol so I can have the set.

[@SonyaBalloonMamaOliver]

That sounds sooo cool!

[@riverwatts1274]

Love the idea of that, I just can’t help but think it’s probably unsafe in some sort of way. Just too new, and seems a lil skep putting uv reactive ink in your skin. Hopefully I’m wrong though! I’m a nurse so I can’t help think that way. I have multiple tattoos, and think the UV would look cool, but I just don’t trust it yet!

[@vectorwolf]

@@riverwatts1274 You're not wrong honestly... but I felt like if I was going to have a reaction to it, something would have happened by now. One thing I will say is, now that it's all healed, the fluorescent component is VERY faint. It's not super bright like in the video at all.

[@Littlelikeme92]

As much as beautiful, well done tattoos can enhance someone’s natural good looks, shitty tattoos can take away from them.

[@dylanmoreno6381]

[@joshuamccann7862]

All you need to know is DONT GET THE FIRST ONE. He literally said in this video 10 years later your gonna think "why/what was I thinking" also the one bald headed dude said he hates being asked about his tattoos. There is nothing cool about tattoos. I'm pretty sure people only get tattoos because they're so insecure about themselves or they literally have zero personality and just hope you ask them about their tattoo because they don't know how to start a conversation with other human beings. I hope you're a guy because a woman with tattoos is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life

Oh man, that traditional sleeve! Wow!

[@legalminority1091]

9:13 My tattoo artist has cancelled a few hours before a session because he just "wasn't feeling it today." he lined back up with my schedule, and he knocked out what is my favorite tattoo. Might be different because I have been going to this artist only for years.

[@theriffwriter2194]

My very first experience with Twitter, because I'm into tatooing, I started messaging inkmaster contestants and they always responded. I thought "oh hell no. Can you legit talk to celebrities on this Twitter website?" Well needless to say a celebrity never got back to me since and they probably only did looking for clients but It was still fun seeing them join me in dogging that overly dramatic show.

[@NemoTheBeastGamer]

This was a great start to my Friday morning ❤

The guy with smudged tattoos at 3 and half min mark. It looks like paper with ink that has been dipped in water. He went in to the artist and asked for the constitution but with water damage on it.

Not a single letter on the word “smile” match. Each letter introduces some new style choice while throwing out a style choice on the previous letter and it’s the main focal point. The standardized fonts are fine without much scrutiny but the the word smile looks like it would’ve benefited from some planning

How is being a "normal" artist easier? I don't tattoo and am not a "normal" artist either, but it seems like there's a ton more people wanting tattoos than people wanting to buy canvas. I don't know anyone who actually has custom wall art. Custom tattoo though? More than a few. I'm not saying it's easy, but damn it can't be THAT bad. Maybe take a break if it's that bad.

Kirk, I love your work and your commentary, you're a very smart tattooer. That's why I wanted to ask you about knee cap tats. (I know you hate em) But I think I remember you said once that it would work if the kneecaps were made into skulls using negative space.. I'm heavily tattooed so I'm wondering if you could elaborate on the skull kneecaps for me please. It'd be an honor to get advice from the legendary Kirk Fagan.
