@@zaywop5978 true, but this is no math test, this is a competition and every tool in the arsonal should be used.

Very bizarre. As someone who's not familiar with tattooing, based on their reactions, I was under the impression that using a mag would cause some sort of long-term damage or something. Or maybe there was some rule in the game about not using one. If neither is true and the guy who has to live with the damn thing loves it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

[@Gsus2Retardado]

@@demonseed360 to my understanding (not a tattoo artist i just have a couple and talked about tattoos with the artists) using it like that might require the guy to be too soft and the needles might not pierce the skin enough, leading to these lines fading over time (which is normal but prob will happen a lot quicker)

When the artists complain "oh its my canvas, they just cant sit" that super depends on the artists too though, not just the canvas.

[@kathrinrades]

RIGHT!! I have several big tattoos on my lower legs, and I’m AWFUL with my legs and only one artist struggled towards the end of the 3-4 hours on one piece, but however she was an apprentice at the time & it was a more awkward spot on my leg. She’s gotten heaps better in the last few years, freaking proud of her.

[@nationalskyline]

Totally agree. I LOVED the blue sky, I thought the colors were perfectly balanced with all the pastels.

[@ivannareyes1780]

The issue is that the color palette lacks dimension and isn't cohesive so nothing stands out as much as it could've considering how cool the drawing is. Also the tones of the colors are light enough to get lost with the person's skin tone, and bc they aren't applied well, when that thing heals a lot of the color will lose even more vibrancy making it look like a 10 year old tattoo rather than a just healed one.

Well I think they consistently did mediocre work. So they were always in the bottom because they weren't on an ink-master level. However, everybody else that was in the bottom with them absolutely bombed. While their work had issues it wasn't down-right awful. The moment there wasn't any one who obviously did a horrible job they were the ones who left. A lot of people also thought that he wasn't on her skill level and he held them back. Which sounds about right. At one point they did separate but matching tattoos instead of doing 1 tattoo together. He says something like "nows the time to set myself apart from my partner". She kept trying to communicate with him to make sure they were on the same page and he blew her off. The goal was to create the same tattoo on 2 different canvases and he used that opportunity to stray off and try to outshine her. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I cannot emphasize enough that the dude from Tri Cities Tattoo is literally why they ended up in the bottom like... 3 times.

[@courtneyturnbull7863]

I adored the use of the mag, its so clever to do. Using a single needle would take so much longer to do and would add more pressure. I'd use a mag too

[@Ayowie]

That volcano tattoo is terrible. I mean, it’s a nice painting but to have a large, black mass on your body is so bad. How do you build tattoos around that

[@JohnSmith-yd5wq]

I thought it was better than the one it lost to.

I felt bad for the girl that got that crappy princess type battle scene. That was awful.

[@WickedPhase]

Ikr, they couldn't of slapped some blood on the drawing to make it look a bit more like a fight?

[@artisticalex1206]

Yeah I agree. Tbh I am no tattoo artist but I think I would’ve done a better drawing than what they did. To me the princess looked fine other than the hand.

😂😂I know that was too funny

[@eatsnowanddie]

I honestly don't know where he got samurai from, maybe from the sides but thats a gladiator helm, but it does look like a feather fight.

[@cosmicmustache9312]

it was so weird too lol cuz that’s legit a roman helmet

[@ayajade6683]

@@cosmicmustache9312 I think their bad artistry is what makes it look more samurai like

[@uhJerryJackson]

@@eatsnowanddie it's definitely a samurai helmet dude. Even the artists didn't know what to say when they were asked so they probably just googled warrior helmets and chose a samurai one. Where do you get the idea that it's a gladiator helmet?? Gladiator helmets don't look like that lol

[@littleoak5]

Also using a mag wasnt cheating, he was still doing delicate work. If I saw that I wouldve picked up a mag too. The only reason no one else did was to try and take a swing at old town ink in the pettiest way possible

[@MissCaraMint]

I’m thinking it might be one of those tv moments. It’s not like placing them in the bottom would have made them go home for that tattoo. Just a bit of drama.

[@UncleDon226]

Using a Mag was such a well executed plan. Reminds me of this racing game called Wipeout. In that game there were shortcuts in the track, but they were exponentially harder to do, so it was only beneficial to take them if you knew you were good enough- hence the nickname "skill-cuts". Using the Mag was the same thing. If you knew you could pull it off, it would be an excellent choice. But if you messed it up, well thats wraps.

This show really highlights how you should always be super picky when choosing an artist

Black Anchor is clearly amazing, but the background of that volcano looks like a bruise from a car crash.

[@blujay1608]

This is EXACTLY what I want Inked to be like. No drama among artists; no flash challenges; tons of artwork. I think I'd even prefer a condensed Inked mini series over a full-fledged season.

Bruh tri city was in the bottom every round

[@bookfan22]

I kinda feel like the judges were beating up tri-city each week. They weren’t that bad. I felt like they had some solid tattoos.

[@syd_barrett_lmfao]

Also I’m talking about think before you ink, not allegory arts.

@@bookfan22 they’re tattoos weren’t bad, it just they’re application was bad. They had good designs but they’re execution lacked every time

Lmao the judges never said they couldn't use a mag for that challenge, it's not "cheating". Those tools are available for use for a reason, so use them to your advantage when you can.

Exactly- they would have said before hand if something was not allowed, plus any one of them could have asked at anytime!!
