Only one you'd feel comfortable with? I assume you've never gotten a tattoo before lol. Them laughing at garbage tattoos in the video doesn't mean anything, they'll take it seriously if its an actual job, a lot of the artists look like really chill and fun people and coming from someone with tattoos, thats the most important thing for me (apart from talent and skill). Being able to talk and laugh with your artist changes the whole experience massively.

[@Cincelia]

@@xGordzulax ok I might have been a bit harsh on them but I was with a friend who needed a cover up because it faded very quickly and on that day there was a different tattoo artist available (her first tattoo artist travelled abroad for work) and everything went well she went twice for consultation and the stencil was great but all of a sudden he changed the design and didn't follow the stencil in the middle of tattooing and the cover up was on her back so see couldn't see anything. She only got to see it in the bathroom in front of a mirror for a break and called me so I could pick her up. I know its rare and I know the fun in great communication with the tattoo artist and the overall experience but after seeing my friend in tears traumatized me a bit. by the way the stencil was a flower and he tattooed lines that looked like half a head and 2 eyes on.

[@xGordzulax]

[@Ghoulishhhhhhhhhhhhh]

It's nice because it creates an air of welcoming/understanding. Since Inked is such a popular show for people in the main stream media, it's important that these show actually show a professional side and show people that tattooing is a craft. The video is labeled as bad tattoos and "Tattoo artists draw examples of how to fix and cover bad tattoos, and explain what makes them bad." . They don't do that. Except 2 or 3 of the artists who genuinely try. Videos like these that label themselves as how to fix cover ups + why they're bad and literally just mock em close the door to people with bad tattoos trying to actually get them covered up properly. You embarrass them and without knowing their background, shut them out from trying to come into a shop to get actual good work done. Just cause a tattoo looks shitty or drawn poorly doesn't mean it's scratcher work, it could have just been a shitty tattoo artist or apprentice. As an apprentice myself, these videos don't contribute anything to the industry but make it harder for people to genuinely seek professional understanding of the craft and their options. These videos just show professionals acting unprofessional about questions/things related to their actual fucking careers. You can tell who is actually passionate about their work and who is actually professional face to face to work with. They're the ones who care beyond this gimmicky show and actually don't talk shit about their clients behind their backs for their mistakes or past decisions.

[@jam13rocks]

this is a video they did for fun.... why should they be professional...

[@osamashatat]

JamRocks it’s the opposite of what most people with tattoos preach.

[@jam13rocks]

osamashatat cleary that’s not true considering only 3/20 “preached” that. Also who cares... they’re doing it for fun... this isn’t a tattoo experts convention, it’s a youtube video

[@osamashatat]

JamRocks and yet here you are sticking up for them as if they’re you’re friends

[@jam13rocks]

osamashatat I could use the same logic back at you. Why are you insulting them then? Why not just let people do what they want. I’m not standing up for them I’m just saying that you saying what you are saying is pointless and pretentious, and you should know that.

[@Msbeautifullydefined]

I really like the guy with glasses and long hair he is taking this seriously and looks like he does really good work. A lot of ppl get things tattooed that they regret doing cover ups is a good way to showcase your skills because not everyone can do them

[@lara_xy]

I like the guy that is actually giving advice and is drawing...

[@BlackChanal]

I love how the long hair dude actually shows real artistic talent and shows actual options. Looks like he seriously tries to improve the shown crap

[@elieaoun6]

Guy Aitchinson, the lad with long hair and beard and the other with face mask tattoo are acting professionally, taking things seriously and giving brilliant options! Respect!

[@versacegang42]

Thank god for Ruben and Guy taking it seriously and giving interesting advice and great designs

[@dominique4359]

The guy at 3:48 is who you go to for your cover-up, he is truly talented in his craft! Also, the guy at 7:56. So, now people you see they laugh at you!

[@Masa6x]

I love this live drawing, I want to see more from Inked where they get these people and show how they draw stuff and conceptualise ideas in real time.

[@kniter]

more of Guy Aitchison, it was actually really cool to watch him

[@magdalenacukor2448]

let's all just appreciate a genius artist and so well spoken individual as Guy Aitchison everybody

[@MickeyMallone.]

I love the contrast between the ones that are having a go at the bad tattoos, and the ones actually offering solutions.

[@aloissenpai6989]

I’m starting to think that the guy with long hair and glasses is bob ross in disguise

[@dexa6623]

It's nice seeing most of them have fun with mist of them of this, but it's also nice seeing some of them genuinely trying to figure out how to fix some of the particularly difficult ones.

[@sophian9105]

Kudos to the guy at 3:41 for really trying on every tattoo!

[@iza4150]

Those 2 guys who really took it serioursly show so much passion i love it

[@rosesforviolets]

guy aitchison is one beautiful man. inside and out. a man who actually is intellectual yet still fun and kind is so amazing

[@ThatGuy3714]

Guy Aitchison actually trying to improve instead of trolling. He would be the first person on this cast I would want a tattoo from if i was looking for one.

[@ThatGuy3714]

@Thibault Derese because a laugh is a fleeting moment and a thousand plus dollar tattoo is not.

[@paranoidleviathan3016]

Props to Guy and Joe for actually trying, and doing well lol.

[@savirazaria]

I feel like some of them being really lazy and disrespecful. They trying so hard to be funny but tbh in video like this I really wanna see their real talent. Self advertising gone to waste, too bad

[@XibaXela]

Most of the artists I know IRL don't do cover ups. It's like a specialist area and I'm pretty sure most of these guys don't know how to do them well.

[@Futu06]

@@XibaXela It just depends on the artist's style. If someone's style isn't really suited for cover-ups, they're probably not going to do them, and/or can't do them very well. Cover-ups have to be fairly dark, depending on what's underneath, bold and textured to hide the lines underneath, right, so that takes realistic (most of it, unless it's really-really dark), portraiture, tribal, most of Japanese, dotwork, minimalistic and watercolour out of the running right off the bat. So you're left with artists who do traditional or neo-traditional to begin with and from there, need people who like to do stuff that's textured enough. So really I don't think it's an issue of skill per se, if the artist is great at style that would work for cover-ups, they can, in all likelyhood, pull them off. Tattooing over scar tissue is another matter, though, takes some practice.

[@breille9723]

For some of them I could let the joking and making fun of the tattoos slide, but how some of them reacted to the poor guy with keloids really didnt sit well with me. I get keloids sometimes and I'm very lucky my tattoo didnt, but if it did I'd hate to hear someone say shit like that about it. Dumb decisions are preventable. Scarring just happens

[@sweetneko1257]

No, it's just stuck-up people like yourself

[@ttaintedsorrow]

5:31 seeing as this man effortlessly covered the tats in this video super well shows that she’s definitely experienced and talented cuz i’m thoroughly impressed even tho i don’t know anything about tattoos

[@goldenhoneybee7823]

I really appreciate the people actually showing _genuine_ coverups.

[@nessyandtot]

I wish more of them actually tried and gave techniques they would use

[@Scronkc]

One could argue that everyone has the shape of a skull on their face already..

[@aknee790]

Dude Guy is the bob ross of tattoo coverups. His voice is so soothing and comforting

[@dirtysouth9222]

Bless Guy (and Joe to a lesser extent) for being the true professional about it. I mean, all of them are awesome, but actually seeing them try and do a decent job given a sketch pad is awesome

[@P4rkerMann]

I like it when they take the cover up ideas seriously instead of just throwing it away. The thought process of hearing how they would actually cover it is so fascinating

[@tomwilliams65]

Most people: I would consult a doctor, He could get skin grafts. Scottish guy: AMBULANCE
