Who Tattooed It Better Part 2 | Tattoo Artists React

Pop culture tattoos come with an odd caveat-everybody wants to get the same tattoo. Let’s say you want an “American Psycho,” chances are that you want Patrick Bateman covered in blood screaming as he’s murdering Paul Allen with an ax. We showed each of our tattooers two very well done tattoos, both done from the same exact reference photo, and made them choose a favorite. Let’s see if you agree with our panel.
Inked has rounded up all of your favorite tattooers for another season of Tattoo Artists React. This season we’ll grill them about the biggest mistake they’ve ever made, how they approach doing job stoppers, what it feels like to see that their work has been covered up and more. You’ll marvel as they struggle to figure out which celebrities aren’t inked and laugh until your sides hurt as they tell us about the worst clients they’ve ever had to deal with. It’s going to be a season filled with excitement, hilarity and even the occasional tear. New episodes will be posted every Friday.

How many people thought the video was loading at first

[@kevinvasquez10]

I closed and reopened the app. 😂

[@TheReubenShow]

I am a little jumpy, so within 4 frames I was like "oh no, she's coding don't let her hit her head" then I was like "oh, paused, I'm so jumpy." I went to un-pause and was like "but I don't wanna skip, I wanna watch this video." . then I really jumped. its like this time I saw a large owl perched on a patio chair in my yard. I knew it was an owl, but I had to be like "its one of my chickens out in the open, in the dark. and NOT an owl." then she did that owl head thing, and I really jumped. I got to keep my soul. that's how jumpy I am.

She would open the arm again, and there it was, the girl head (with a raven crown I guess but you couldn't totally guess).

They are saying the black&grey tattoo picture is ALSO taken in a black&white picture. This effect distorts the colors and makes the tattoo different than what it actually looks like. You can see from the empty skin at the top of the tattoo, you cannot see any colorful skin undertones such as red, yellow, purple, olive, or green.
