For real...and 100k isnt even that much. Not enough to potentially lose face or rep as an artist. They can potentially make far more if they have a good reputation and good work on the show because viewers will seek them out.

The artist near me has a sign that reads "I'm dyslexic and didn't go to college. If you want wording in your tattoo you better spell check it." It's honestly terrifying how many people don't even bother looking over the stencil. A tattoo is permanent. You better go over every little detail before that artist touches your skin with a needle. A client may not know things like which way a tattoo should face.... but the damn sure better know how to spell the word they want on their body.

[@MandiaM27]

for spelling there is a little thing called google and autocorrect on every device you own. i am a bit dyslexic as well when i write things down i stare and think the correct form and guess what I speak 6 languages and have university degree. sometimes google gives an assistance that's why it exists

Seriously they cared more about winning than giving a crap that the canvas is a fellow human and it made me mad 😠

[@brett8460]

I mean tbh getting a Buddha tattoo in the first place is extremely disrespectful, especially when it's on a lower part of the body. It's customary to hang pictures of Buddha at the highest place in your house, and treat it with respect. If you put it on your body, especially on a lower part, it is disrespectful. My mom was raised Buddhist and she hates seeing Buddha tattoos and Buddha heads for decoration in people's homes and so do I.

[@trekadouble757]

@@brett8460 I have a question. There is a massive difference between the peaceful representations of Buddha during meditation and the more funny ones like depicted in that tattoo. In the situation that you are talking about, are you talking about the meditating Buddha representations, the funnier ones, or both? I have a hard time imagining that anyone would want to put one of the happier images of Buddha instead of a serious one in their home to honour it, but I could be biased by my own religions education.

[@TheColorfulPuppehKat]

And on ink master redemption, I loved that he got straight to the point and did not defend his mistake. He even admitted in redemption that the two right feet thing flew over his head in the designing process and noticed after judging that both of his sketches had the same mistake. Of course if you haven’t seen his redemption episode he did fix it by adding shoes and touched it up.

[@synovelle]

@@Alyzzardo there’s a pillar in made by Emperor Asoka dated back to 249 BC that states Buddha’s name (Siddhartha Gautama), where he was born (Lumbini, Terai Plains, Nepal) and the year he was born (623 BC). The pillar is in the same area as where he was born. He was a prince who was part of a very wealthy family and as such, would have been well-known. He was about 80 years old when he died in India, and he was cremated. His ashes are in multiple places, and I believe an urn with some of his ashes is in a display in India. Sure, it’s not 100% scientific proof with DNA or anything, but I would say this is good enough archaeological evidence to show that he existed. He made enough impact during his time to have an archaeological footprint. Whereas Jesus is actually completely documentary. That’s not to say that Jesus didn’t exist, it just means there isn’t enough proof to be 100%- although Jesus was a simple commoner, which means it makes sense that he doesn’t have much proof other than personal account from others. The items from his crucifixion are physical, but there isn’t enough testing done yet to prove the authenticity, unfortunately.

[@ciaradiam0nd]

I’m just gonna put my two cents in here- I have a bachelor of fine arts with a minor in art history. I’ve created and studied a lot of artworks and the one thing I’ve noticed on this show is how often they comment on correct anatomy, proportions, etc. I am not saying I disagree that these elements are important- usually vital- to most works. Keyword being MOST. I definitely think that if it’s intentional and meshes with the style anatomy and proportions can be fudged with a little bit, as I said, if it’s intentional and makes sense. For instance- for one of the eagles, they mentioned that they felt like for that particular stance or pose the eagle was in, that the wing would never be placed where it is. For me, this did not bother me or even occur to me until they mentioned it, because of the style of the tattoo and that fact that it was a well done, intentionally executed design- now, if it was a photorealistic depiction of an eagle, maybe I would notice. Maybe. That being said, there are beautiful, photorealistic portrait paintings that are worth millions of dollars and have been recognized beyond space and time as the best of the best... and the proportions aren’t exact. I don’t know. Don’t get me wrong, I understand what they are saying and I do agree it’s an important element to factor in and pay attention to. However sometimes I look at the work they are criticizing and it doesn’t make me enjoy it any less or think it wasn’t executed well.

[@lloydno966]

most million dollar artworks with incorrect proportions are usually due to style or done on purpose for a reason. not usually inexperience and lack of ability on the artists part. these guys wanted correct proportions, and failed to do it. not usually a praised area of skill

[@WildVee]

As a master of fine arts myself, I have to disagree to an extent. The eagle example is *exactly* where I cringed as soon as I saw the tattoo. It was clear it wasn't a style the artist was going for but some form of lack of skill, it's weird the client didn't comment on it but then again it's 1. A reality tv show 2. The client maybe doesn't know much about proportions and how anatomy works. I agree that proportions don't always have to be perfect or rather, realistic to real life, in fact there are many instances even in regular traditional art where body parts are drawn in a very exaggerated way. But again I just don't believe that was the case here, many times you will notice unrealistic tattoo artwork and they won't say it looks unreal or bad unless it actually does. (then again I have only watched clips because I hate how edited, fake and spliced this show is so hey)

[@thecanadakid7622]

There's no academic consensus that Buddha was definitely a real person.
