[@savagetabby4931]

Honestly, I am so happy they featured more canvases with darker skin and showing its possibly to gain decent tonal value and color. On Ink Master, people would immediately blame their lack of ability or knowledge of color theory on the canvas' skin. Ryan Ashley knew the issue and just came up with a new strategy.

[@wickedtreefarm6914]

Yep an Ink Master should know how to tattoo darker skin. Contestants need to quit using that as an excuse.

[@tokivikerness8863]

Such an ignorant thing to say. Some of these artist are from European countries with less than 2% total population black people and half of those are light skinned. They very well may have never tattooed a dark skinned person. In America 13% of population are African and most of them live in a couple dense areas Atlanta, NY, LA, Chicago, Detroit and a few others. Also black customers overwhelmingly choose black artists to do their work. Tattooing dark skin is truly a niche like stick and poke. Is it the artists fault Wesley snipes never came to them for a tattoo?

[@PureRandumosity]

All Ryan’s tattoos look like fresh newly inked vibrant pieces that will age well. The tattoos she was up against look like that person had it done 5 years ago, I don’t understand. The Phoenix was the only one that got close to hers in my opinion. All are great artists but Ryan is in a league of her own

I still think that the canvasses’ pain tolerance shouldn’t be the fault of the tattooer

[@user-pp6kd7ut4k]

It should be taken into consideration though. A GREAT tattoo artist should help their canvas with breathing techniques and talk them thru the pain when they can help it. When some of these people ignore the pain or get angry when their canvas needs a second, I feel like that's the mark of a bad tattoo artist. You just get a sensitive person every now and then and you have to adapt to it

[@kmations4049]

@@user-pp6kd7ut4kthe problem is that theyre in a timed competition. they probably deal with it way better on a client.

[@user-pp6kd7ut4k]

@kmations4049 Oh, I'm sure they deal with it better when not being timed. I understand a competition adds pressure, but I feel like a lot of the clients who gave up would have lasted a little longer if their tattoo artists were more understanding of the fact they're people too with pain limitations. I'll give it to you, though. I'm not sure why someone would volunteer to be tattooed for a competition when they know they have a low pain tolerance. It does kinda bone the artist, but I just don't think it's an excuse to be so crappy to the canvas. I see both sides

[@morganqorishchi8181]

I love Ryan but at no point in my life do I ever want to be in a position where I'm being tattooed and 1. someone says "I'm freehanding the detail" and 2. someone else says "Jesus!" in that tone. That is the exact opposite of reassuring.

[@breebennett851]

Jimmy Butcher is such a cool guy! One of my good friends is his apprentice at his shop here in Savannah and when I go in to get a tattoo by her he's always super friendly and reassuring. He has nothing but nice things to say about his time meeting (and tattooing) against Ryan! He said that when the show reached out to him to be featured, they asked if it he feels comfortable going up against her and he was like," Hell yeah! She's badass, even if I lose just getting to work alongside her would be sick." Super chill guy, and I wish he would be on the show one day but I asked and he didn't seem to keen on the idea. I guess we'll see! If anyone is ever in the Savannah area, hit up The Butcher on Bay Street for a chance to get worked on! Everyone there is so, so talented and friendly! It's appointment only so make sure to give the shop a call to check availability.

[@AnnaMorimoto]

I loved his work shown here, and he seems like a nice guy. Appreciate your local perspective.

[@savannahshane2231]

He probably doesn't want to be on the show because it is full of so much scripted drama, and if he is a genuinely nice guy, he would probably hate them to edit and twist his words to make him look bad (like they do to other contestants on the show). The behind the scenes information from the canvas' videos is a good one to watch for reference.
