[@PeriwinklePangolin24]

I may not be a tattoo artist, but I am indeed an artist by profession, and I swear, so much of the criticism here is really strange nitpicks, and really gives me the vibe that a lot of it comes down to the judges just disliking this style.

[@allykingston4429]

Even though they often pick the style lol

[@DKF_oli]

Can definitely tell you’ve drawn your own icon on here - type of “artist by profession” who has been “good at drawing” for their whole life and excuses their lack of ability to depict correct anatomy etc or use legitimate fine art techniques as “that’s just my style, art is subjective”. Judges criticisms may be nitpicks to you, but if you want to be considered a “master”, you do need to have even those most minuscule technical details/skills locked down. It matters. This is why there are so few “masters” of fine art in all of history as well. And you may say it’s not that serious, which is fine, I don’t choose to argue about whether someone should personally consider something important or not. Just that details and technical skill that the average person would overlook or excuse definitely matters (as it should) in this competition, and competition at pretty much any level.

[@allykingston4429]

@@DKF_oli Couldn't have said it better

[@PeriwinklePangolin24]

@@DKF_oli ??? It's an old icon I am not a fan of anymore, cuz the anatomy is off, but I haven't bothered to change because I don't engage on KZbin that much. Very fun that you think you know my entire process and outlook as an artist cuz you saw a miniscule KZbin icon you didn't like. It's not me saying details aren't important, it's me saying it's kind of batshit that they tell people to stylize and don't like it when they stylize. More than that, It's part of the competition, but this has never even really been about being able to make great art when they tell people to make incredibly complex things that will go on people's skin forever, in much less time than these artists are typically given in a real life setting, etc. and then critique them as if they had enough time to refine. But in general, I don't know why you feel the need to say that because you don't think they're nitpicking, you have to throw in an insult to my own art in the process. Get off your high horse.

[@KIxYOSHI2077]

I mean, if you do realism you don't really need to be able to draw, especially comical, and that's fine for a normal tattoo artist. But don't join a competition like this if you can't do more than one style

[@MoNehNeh17]

KIxYOSHI i dont get it, realism is making it as it is in real life right? how come you don’t need to be able to draw?? you’re specifically talking about tattooing and not drawing in general right?

[@KIxYOSHI2077]

@@MoNehNeh17 Yes, realism is making it look lifelike and I'm specifically talking about tattooing. When tattooing realism, a lot of artists will draw the stencil on top of a picture and not freehand. So they don't really need to be able to draw well in itself, especially not be able to freehand draw comic style stuff like new school, just tattoo well.

[@brigetteparada5056]

honestly it because a lot of new generation use ipads and you dont really need to know how to work digital art is mostly done for you no lie look up some videos of how they do it insane how easy it is rather then to actually have to blend and make contrast with pencil or color the ipad and apps literally do it for you and just trace of google a lot too most tatt per i know cant draw for shit or even do cursive for that matter

[@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah]

@@brigetteparada5056 As a digital artist, saying it does everything for you is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. The difference in digital art is that everything is less permanent.

No disrespect to older generation tattoo artists who have literally paved the way for new artists today but I hate some of their attitudes so much. A lot of older tattoo artists (not all of them, of course) are so spiteful and resentful of younger generations, especially of those who can actually draw and have a personal, specific style and they think that you can become a tattoo artist exclusively by "paying your dues" which literally means just mopping floors, scrubbing toilets, preparing their stations and not tattooing shit and just looking at them. Case and point, that dude going "I hate this style, it's for children and coloring books, not tattoo artists", who are you to make that judgment? With what authority? I myself love blackwork stuff but I wouldn't put down another style just because of my own bias and arrogance. I couldn't stand him the entire season.

[@amberlytheharpyqueen]

[@mrfugazi6713]

Yeah your bang on mate, I don’t like the guy who you mentioned at the end of your comment, in my opinion he’s a big headed prick who thinks his tattoos are much better than the other tattoo artists in the show. I’m covered in tattoos I’m just coming to the end of having my whole back tattoo, I’ve got just one more session, it’s taken 25 months to complete it and I’m 60 years old in September 2022 so I’m probably gonna finish having tattoos now buddy but if I’m honest with you I wouldn’t want tattoos done by some of these artists but your right the bloke with the tattoos on his face who goes around judging everyone else’s tattoos is nothing but a asshole in my opinion.

@@hsss1 Dude, what's that got to do with anything?

[@wintermoon7003]

Thank you! I always thought tattoos were self-expression, not putting whatever your tattoo artist says because he HATES your style. That's fucked up! At that point, you're nothing but a poser because you say one thing but do another. I like both style of tattoos. They both bring in something different. I personally prefer color because black and gray is boring to me. And I tend to think of bikers with bad tats. Of course, that's not always the case but that's just what pops into my head. But again, it's all about personal preference and no one should be shamed for liking one style over the other as it goes against being alternative anyway. Going against the grain, ya know? I wouldn't want a poser doing my future tats. I don't have any currently, but I have a HUGE project once I lose weight because it's supposed to be a symbol of my transformation when I'm done. Basically, I want to lose weight and work on myself. And then get a tattoo of a floral arrangement with vines and butterflies all around with maybe a few hummingbirds, crawling up under my breasts starting from my lower back, branching off on both sides as it comes up around my ribs and under my breasts. It looks so beautiful in my head!

New School is just so ugly to me; but to each their own; it is their flesh after all.

[@superultragiggachigga]

I do like a few of the designs, like the sweet goth chick with black and green hair's art, Kelly Dotty.

I am an artist still in art school and that golden gate Bridge did not deserve to be in an elimination. The line art makes sense since it's more far away aka perspective

[@enbeast8350]

The lineart for New School is to have bold, dark lines for the outline. His tattoo looks unfinished in that style. The bridge itself is fine (probably needs a black outline) with perspective, but it ultimately just doesn't look like a finished New School tattoo. As a piece of art, it looks great. But as a piece of art with a specific style it's trying to emulate, it just falls a little short. I didn't see the full episode, so there may have been worse tatts than the bottom 3 we were shown, but out of the 3, it did look the best

It's ridiculous that in the earlier seasons, the color saturations weren't that popping and a lot of the tats looked years old. Then it the later seasons, the same judges say that the color saturation is bad and that the tat looks years old when the color saturation is way more than the first few seasons when they loved the tats. That makes no sense.

i feel like that was more the poor filming quality than the artists themselves. even in the newer seasons some of the tats they say are super saturated don’t look like it on the screen with their photos.

The guy boxed himself in by thinking literally about a horse riding a cowboy. It's a cartoon. I KNOW I saw a horse riding a cowboy when I was a kid (I'm an old fart now). I'm thinking Elmer Fudd had a horse on his back at one time or some cartoon like that.

Aren't all new school tattoos the worst tattoos???

[@cellie_bellie]

Some new school can be well done, but IMO they just look goofy

[@artisticalex1206]

Some I think can be good but 95 percent of the time I can agree they are usually the worst.

Boneface ink shouldn’t of lost that imo. They had the hardest tattoos while only one was experienced with new school tattoo and color while the other isnt

[@anthonyvega-fujioka4464]

it was bad, but artistic's was much worse.

[@artisticalex1206]

Honestly I disagree. While Boneface did decent in the outline and the middle cat, I think Hobo Ink deserved to go for knowing zero about new school and color. So they both as a team deserved to go in my opinion.

Zombie fingers playing guitar not being anatomically correct doesn't bother me. They are cartoon zombies, their fingers should be a little jacked :)

Kinda glad that they chose St. Mark, his was the weakest. Like dude, even the drawing is trash! At least the other two were colorful and popped! Like yeah, couldn't really tell that it even had a body, but I get the idea she was going for. That judge was wrong to go after her and not the other. The host of the show was correct in sending him home.

Why I only heard Oliver Peck voice but never seen him on the screen 🤔

[@rina.1557]

He did blackface and got fired so I think they're trying to avoid showing him

[@RedRosemaryDoll]

i cant beleive they sent the best drawing out of the three home. obviously it is a pig being cooked over ribs with a grill at the bottom and a lid in the background. it was the best drawn out of the three. 2nd place goes to the chocolate waffle with ice cream on it that needed a background. and LAST PLACE is the most horribly drawn sunflowers with idk what and jam with a distorted lid that looks awful. HOW IN THE PHUQ YALL DIDNT SEND THE UGLY SUNFLOWERS WITH JAM HOME...

Okay so here's the thing: that zombie band tattoo was ugly as hell, BUT the judge was completely wrong and a jerk about it. Based on the shape of a real human hand, the thumb is on the inside of the guitar and the fingers are on the outside. That critique made no sense!

[@MysteryMortis]

This ^^

[@SSlovebird]

I really love New School tattoos, and I kind of find it funny when artists are experts in tattooing can do black and grey, and yet they can’t do colored creative characters.

[@JuliKayeArtistry]

Matt Stebly was robbbbbed that chameleon was dope.

[@BotSupportIronValiant]

hard disagree with Saint Mark. Definitely liked that color, so idk what the judges saw. Just my opinion though.

[@mr.diddles3806]

The pig & ribs one was bullshit!! It looked awesome & you could tell that they were ribs. Only thing was that Jordie could have picked a bright color instead. Overall, a fantastic tattoo

[@megapistol64]

Lol the zombies hand isn't atomically correct, it's almost like zombies are rotting people with limbs dropping and falling off

[@artisticalex1206]

I actually don't hate Black Spade or Boneface's tattoo. I will say though the cat being green was pretty bad. But the way the cats were outlined wasn't bad, it is just the color choices on two of the cats. Also I liked Jordi's tattoo even though it didn't fit color theory.
