Spike TV's Ink Master: A Tattoo Travesty
18.05.12
I think those judges are making tattoos look bad and I think they need new judges
I just discovered the show last night. I, myself, am not an artist, but I do have great respect for the art and the people who do it. I enjoyed the show for the most part. I do believe they are setting the artist up for failure. Who can be expected to do a full head tattoo in 6 hours! I'm sure it can be done, but will not be the quality expected by the judges or the artist themselves. I feel they need a tattoo artist to screen the "canvases" first to be sure the tattoo they want can realistically be done in the amount of time provided. I have seen several of the contestants work featured in tattoo magazines, and feel that none of the work shown in the show is a good representation of their abilities. As for attitudes, that's what a lot of people tune in for. But I am glad Al is gone. He was just down on everyone.
Al fliction, I guess you were wrong about the girls. You got sent home before both of them. You suck!!! Your a punk and just about everyone that I know that watches the show agrees with me. I don't know how you even made it on show to begin with. No talent, loser.
