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.

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

@@hieithefox exactly! I have wanted all of my tattoo artists to be perfectionists. Especially if you’re in a competition you would think you’d be committed to being on top of Your game
The Buddha tattoo actually pisses me off. Out of respect they should have told them the hands were wrong before it was put on the client’s skin. The fact they noticed it and didn’t speak up says a hell of a lot more about them.
especially since it was a religious figure too... the fact that all the artists were just like "it's a goofy character" and making fun of the figure's appearance was in bad taste and disrespectful to the culture it comes from
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.
@@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.
Honestly, they could’ve gone to the artists and said something just before they started, and then brought it up at judging that it would’ve been wrong if they hadn’t spoken up. That was shady as hell, this is a real person’s tattoo and as artists they should’ve realized that

I don’t know which is worse...calling the Buddha a “goofy, happy-go-lucky character” or selfishly allowing someone to get a bad tattoo when you could have helped her. I would have thrown them both out.
Not to mention that they called it a "fictional character". I have a different religion, but I feel strongly when I say an entire culture believes and prays to this deity and to belittle an entire culture's beliefs just because you have none is just plain ignorant and disrespectful.
The fact that the lady knew it was wrong and didn't correct the other artists and allowed them to permanently tattoo it on that poor woman's leg just out of greed to win a competition is beyond messed up!
Dave's gotten a little better through the years. He tries to throw an apologetic sounding dismiss. Still that hint of awkwardness for the tattooer after their attempt of an A for effort compliment
Katie is a really good tattoo artist and I held a lot of respect for her throughout the season but damn I lost nearly all of it when she didn't tell them that Buddha's hands were wrong way around. Cared more about winning than a person having a incorrect tattoo on them for the rest of their life. She probably would've gotten the same placement with the correction.
I thought the same. She really let that person get that wrong tattoo for the rest of their lives and even made fun of them like some kid in a playground. So selfish and childish I hope she never gets business
@@MM-fg4tw That does not matter to the person who now has that tattoo on them forever, you are insanely selfish to even think for a second that is a valid argument.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer It doesn't make it morally right but technically yes, the responsibility does fall on the artist. Ultimately the artist is the one who F'ed up. But, when it comes to permanent shit like tattoos, seeing something going wrong and not stepping in and letting that person end up with a bad tattoo when you knew it had a mistake and you were capable of catching it, that's messed up. It doesn't make her responsible for the bad tattoo, but it does make her a shitty human being.
The Buddha thumb thing, I always hated that situation because your fellow tattoo artists saw the mistake and knew ahead of time, and said nothing and even chastised them for the mistake. Terrible sportsmanship, these canvases deserve respect as well!
@@haywoodjblome4768 Because it IS correct. You can see the thumbs are attached to the fronts of the hands and curled up. They are exactly where they are supposed to be.

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. But if they see how rude they are to clients, why would anyone want a tat by them?
There was a whole season dedicated to fixing any of the bad tattoos where the artists got to redeem themselves or the canvas got to choose an opposing artist to fix it.
I don't understand how the artists are penalized for what the canvases want? Who cares if the blade is not completely correct if it was checked off by the canvas?
She could have go back to the design and only flipped what she needed to to not create a weird design the canvas(person) doesn’t have the knowledge of everything
@@hieithefox the Marine person specifically asked for this knife, the tattooer is responsible for tattooing what the customer wants, they check and recheck and it's literally stenciled on, OK'd and double, triple checked before they start. "No ragrets"
It’s not the canvas fault, when he said to flip it I think he meant for the handle and not the whole thing. If she didn’t flip it.. it’s still wrong. She drew the design wrong. She didn’t redrew it but just flip it.
Also even if it's not his God or religious figure it is for many people and so that was a fucked up thing to say. For all he know that is his client's religious figure. Super unprofessional and fucked up..
@@NoelAKABigNolo perhaps you didn't understand what you saw on google. It's the same hands, theirs is just from the top view and not drawn perfectly, still the right hands and not reverse as a lot seem to be wrongfully seeing.
I thought James did a really nice job of owning his mistakes on that busted pin-up. No excuses and he seemed to genuinely feel bad. Not sure how it turned out for him in the judging but THATS how you handle critique - take it, learn from it, no useless defenses.
Its been 2 years but if you never saw, he actually made it to the final 2 or 3 in that season. Really gorgeous final tats from him, especially the 12 hour one.
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.
The rules are stupid as hell. If a tat recipient makes a call for a tat on their own body that isn’t “correct” or what ever that should not be held against them; and if it is then the people getting tatted should have more rules and the artist should be able to say yes or no and have more input.
For Arlene situation, I think he meant for the handle and not flip the whole thing. Let’s say she didn’t flip it.. it’s still wrong. She drew the handle wrong.
@@priyamanobal but they can be penalized for that too, because if the canvas isn't happy with it, they can also get put on the chopping block and/or get sent home for that. There's a fine line, but it's a bit ridiculous to make them feel bad for doing something their client wanted, like the little rock thing. If it were me, I'd rather do what the client wants, because even though it's a competition, it's their body that this art will be on for the rest of their lives. But I value people over money, so there is also that
@@batwoman9875 yeah it’ll *probably* be on their bodies forever but they signed up to get a free tattoo in a timed competition where the tattoo artists are fighting for 100k. So they need to be very open minded. They can’t come in their with a set idea of what they want and not be willing to change it or switch some things around. They could’ve always paid for their tattoo in a regular tattoo parlor but they decided to do this instead most likely just so that they wouldn’t have to spend any money.
@@priyamanobal yea, pretty sure they don't care that everyone else wants them to be open minded. And again, the artist can be sent home, if the canvass is upset with it. And even IF they don't have it on their bodies forever, it's still hours of pain for a tattoo and a removal, and tattoo removal isn't cheap. So yea. It's a reality show. But they are still REAL people, and most episodes, I'm pretty sure they get a say in what is being done. I'm just saying they shouldn't be penalized for doing something the client wants, within reason. They still need to follow the criteria for the challenge
Getting your 'significant other' done as a portrait or having their name permanently inked into you is a regrettable tattoo mistake regardless of how well it is done....
I think that risk is fine to have. The tattoo was free already. I know I'd never get tattooed in a timed competition, except for maybe the finalist backpiece where they design and tattoo in their familiar shop, because I realize mistakes are highly likely to occur in that setting.
They're getting free tattoos that they know will be done under a strict time limit. A lot of them agree to get whatever the artists want to give them too.
CJ’s tattoo looked pretty decent at first but as the judges went on with their critics it just kept getting worse and worse. that miss-spelling was the final nail in the coffin
@@eddyram4932 I think that they mean you need more than 6 hours. Although idk, I have some nice pieces and I’ve never had a tattoo take more than 4 hours lol
Nah, dude. I've seen amazing American traditional tattoos! I even know some incredibly talented realism artists that say trad is difficult. I think some people just have a knack for it, gotta find that person!
@@FuegodeInfierno yeah but what a scummy thing to do, thats on the skin forever unless the decide to cover up. i get they are getting money but wouldnt you feel better winning even with your competitors best?
Seriously it’s why I don’t like this kind of competition because they want to win so bad they don’t give a crap that the canvas is a really person and I don’t care that the people get free tattoos they still expect to not have huge errors like an fed up flag miss spelling and two right feet
@@hieithefox exactly, but its not always the artists fault. they basically force these tattoo artists to jump out of their comfort zone and set them on a timer and still expect them to pop out a perfect tattoo. rather than forcing the artists to just drop their style and do a drastically different style theyre not comfortable with, they should group them by style and they can compete like that.
You do realize these people sign up for this crap and everything is fully explained in the contract you sign.. what they design goes.. when you see canvasses whine about something its probally because they were told to
Not telling them about the thumbs till after the tattoo was done was a shitty move. Yeah, they didn't draw it, it shouldn't have been done like that in the first place but not saying anything till after someone has that shit permanently marked on their body is just being shitty to the canvas. They have to walk around with that, I know it's a competition but there needs to be some kind of professionalism towards the people involved. They'd want someone to warn them, bad form they didn't do the right thing.
I don't agree. Aaron told Cleen that the hands are wrong. Cleen said they are supposed to be like that. I think that even if Katie said something, they wouldnt change it. Also, It's a competition and tbf you can't blame them for wanting to win because that is why they are there in the first place

“It’s a depiction of a fictional character” Buddha was a REAL individual, homie. He existed, truly, in Asian history. I’m sure Buddha didn’t have backwards hands, I think I would’ve heard about that. 😂 I’m not Buddhist, but I’m even offended by how awful those hands look. And they’re right, that black cloud was some weird stuff.
@@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.
Imagine someone asks for something wacky and specific that’s not proportionally correct and they love the end result and the artist gets kicked of the show for tattooing what they want
I imagine they would cut it if they were wrong. I bet anything they've been 100% wrong about something after however many seasons and that got left on the cutting room floor
@@obzcure these shows are made to make the judges look good. Its just a like a tv drama series, where the judges are the main characters and the constestants are the supporting characters, and the focus is always on the main characters.

17:25 I understand it's a competition but that's such a shitty thing to do to the poor lady receiving the tattoo. She's gonna have that on her body for the rest of her life and you didn't say anything because you want to be better than the tattooer.

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.
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
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)
@@WildVee there's so many serious artitsts that never really learn correct anatomy or take it that seriously, hence it's common. It is what separates good art form amateur.
All I'm wondering is how the hell these clients agree to getting a permanent tattoo during a competition show... timed, under pressure, less likely to get what YOU want and instead what the artist wants to show off on... that would scare me
It's a competition and alliances are always formed on the show, which is why he pointed it out. Not to mention, he is correct about the guard being on the wrong side of the knife.
9:42 I'm actually in love with this tattoo. I think she did an excellent job. Skin is a difficult canvass but even though there were imperfect details it still came out awesome.
I know this is a competition and all and the goal is to win but I feel like the people that noticed that the Buddha was messed up should have said something simply because now the canvas is walking around with a messed up tattoo.
Surprising nobody has a color wheel sitting right there front & center. No matter what art we’re doing a basic color wheel brings us back to combinations that work WHEN WE’RE EXHAUSTED OR NOT THINKING PROPERLY!
This shows why creating your tattoo should take time. Have the artist draw it up a few times, make sure everything looks right, colors are right, meanings behind everything in the tattoo makes sense.
@@juliusbernotas actually he is A BUDDHA, he’s a person who has reached Buddhahood but has delayed it to help out others first. There are actually many people who are Buddha, that name itself doesn’t just adhere to one person :)
With Arlene,I think it's ridiculous. If their canvas wanted the handle backwards,in the professional world,you do what the client wants. And isn't this competition making them professionals?
As you learn at the end of the video they’re the weaker shop so they decided it’s better to fuck over a canvas so they can pretend like they earned their spot in the competition because of one mistake by a more consistently better shop
@@NVS_Videos They literally told him that his thumbs were inverted and he just shrugged it off and said they were good. From that point onwards it's fair game
I like how the clients receiving the tattoos have their opinions and concerns thrown out the window purely for competitors to have an advantage over others
The guard was actually on the correct side, look up an image of a similar knife, the guy at 10:39 didn’t know what he was talking about when he criticized her for it
@@joeeyystyleeezzz958 no he meant the chick because she kept putting her arms in the air basically mocking his mistake. I found it funny the joke but in poor taste was no need to get personal but it still made me laugh
she did the knife right? it’s not a real knife so it’s hard to say, but it looks a lot like an older US bayonet, in which case the “guard” is the mounting hole and is on the right side
Buddha as depicted in the tattoo is fictional. He wasn’t some happy go lucky fat guy. So yes he is real but the modern pop culture Buddha is NOT the real one.
There's no academic consensus that Buddha was definitely a real person. The historical writings about him **could** have been speaking about a real person but they are not contemporaneous which means his existence is in doubt and he may be a fictional character created post hoc to explain the origin of Buddhism.
Honest question: if you're getting your first tattoo, would you want your tattooist telling you all the things wrong with the tattoo they just did or not? I understand this is a six hour competition but having the tattooist venting their mistakes to the virgin canvas is kinda awful.
You shouldn’t because whether the the knife was flipped or not by the client, the actual guard was facing the wrong way. She drew it wrong. If he flipped it so USMC writing was correct, she needed to flip the handle too
The Buddha cracks me up every time. 😂😂 People are mad like “Black Cobra didn’t say anything!” when Aaron flat out went “Wait, why are his thumbs inside...?” and Cleen says “Yeah, that’s how they go.”. So they knew right from the get-go the thumbs were wrong. That be their own damn fault.
Idk why they were so hung up on linework having to be black. The brown looks softer and way better for a human, and the colored lines everywhere else looked really nice as opposed to lining everything in black so it looks like a kid's coloring book
Its funny when TH-cam comment critics say that these guys are not good... But they fail to perceive that they are on the clock, and every second lost, its going to project on the tattoo... Respect to all of them.
I love how he's counting down and yet half the tattoos they show are half done. Why don't they just be straight up about how long the tattoos take and what time restraints they actually have instead of faking it.
I’m confused as to how it’s Katie’s fault for the backwards hands? In the clip Aaron himself said that the hands look weird. Cleen Rock was the one that kept saying it’s fine. When other artist mess up a detail it’s that artist fault. I feel like viewers are blaming Katie instead of Aaron and Cleen who are responsible because they were a fan favorite.
Right! it’s not other peoples responsibility or job to correct him or tell him what he did wrong that’s what he supposed to do or already know that’s not their problem…especially on a competition show they need to direct their anger towards the tattoo artist that’s his fault and he knew what he was doing. The canvas signed up to be on a show to get a free tattoo what do you expect🤷🏽♀️
I agree, I think most people commenting here missed the part where Aaron did mention that the hands looked weird and Cleen totally brushed that off, because in his view Buddha was just a "goofy-ass character". Shows how little he cared, not a good look for him at all.
17:24 I mean, even though you’re competing with them, you should probably tell them, for the sake of the canvas, since this will be on someone’s skin for the rest of their life.
really gross how they didn't point out the tattoo mistakes and just laughed "haha that poor canvas" like??? that's permanently going on someone? speak up... losers and the way they come over and act like total jerks afterwards..
Imagine going and getting tattooed for the show and then seeing the judges tear apart a tattoo you love... awkward
That’s what I was thinking 😂 I actually didn’t mind the first tattoo until they started pointing out the mistakes

Katie is a really good tattoo artist and I held a lot of respect for her throughout the season but damn I lost nearly all of it when she didn't tell them that Buddha's hands were wrong way around. Cared more about winning than a person having a incorrect tattoo on them for the rest of their life. She probably would've gotten the same placement with the correction.
I thought the same. She really let that person get that wrong tattoo for the rest of their lives and even made fun of them like some kid in a playground. So selfish and childish I hope she never gets business
The responsibility is with the artist, not them
@@MM-fg4tw That does not matter to the person who now has that tattoo on them forever, you are insanely selfish to even think for a second that is a valid argument.
@@Mrsuperdestroyer It doesn't make it morally right but technically yes, the responsibility does fall on the artist. Ultimately the artist is the one who F'ed up. But, when it comes to permanent shit like tattoos, seeing something going wrong and not stepping in and letting that person end up with a bad tattoo when you knew it had a mistake and you were capable of catching it, that's messed up. It doesn't make her responsible for the bad tattoo, but it does make her a shitty human being.
People do this all the time in this competition
The Buddha thumb thing, I always hated that situation because your fellow tattoo artists saw the mistake and knew ahead of time, and said nothing and even chastised them for the mistake. Terrible sportsmanship, these canvases deserve respect as well!
They literally told him and he just went "nah it's right". Not their fault he's stuck up
@@haywoodjblome4768 Because it IS correct. You can see the thumbs are attached to the fronts of the hands and curled up. They are exactly where they are supposed to be.

They really let a women have a mistake in her leg permanently because they wanted 100K... humility before greed.
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. But if they see how rude they are to clients, why would anyone want a tat by them?
@@vianjelos i agree. I would never get a tattoo from them. They dont seem to care about clients.
It’s technically not even $100k, what with taxes and all.
There was a whole season dedicated to fixing any of the bad tattoos where the artists got to redeem themselves or the canvas got to choose an opposing artist to fix it.
@@vianjelos Its a competition, get fucked.
I don't understand how the artists are penalized for what the canvases want? Who cares if the blade is not completely correct if it was checked off by the canvas?
I guess the old saying “The customer is always right” doesn’t work in these scenarios.
She could have go back to the design and only flipped what she needed to to not create a weird design the canvas(person) doesn’t have the knowledge of everything
@@hieithefox the Marine person specifically asked for this knife, the tattooer is responsible for tattooing what the customer wants, they check and recheck and it's literally stenciled on, OK'd and double, triple checked before they start. "No ragrets"
It’s not the canvas fault, when he said to flip it I think he meant for the handle and not the whole thing. If she didn’t flip it.. it’s still wrong. She drew the design wrong. She didn’t redrew it but just flip it.
She just had to flip the handle. He wanted the blade to read right side up, so just flip the blade and flip the handle, easy
"we're doing a depiction of a fictional character" Buddha was a real person but ight
Also even if it's not his God or religious figure it is for many people and so that was a fucked up thing to say. For all he know that is his client's religious figure. Super unprofessional and fucked up..
“It’s a goofy ass fat dude” was also very cringe 🥴
Edit: and the way they keep calling him a “character” like........... that’s a person
Still, those hands aren't wrong tho. They were making a fuss out of nothing. It's clear they got that pose from established references.
@@NoelAKABigNolo perhaps you didn't understand what you saw on google. It's the same hands, theirs is just from the top view and not drawn perfectly, still the right hands and not reverse as a lot seem to be wrongfully seeing.
@@waranghira the thumb is on the opposite side, that's the problem. That's why the hands are reversed.

I've heard that "WWHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEH" noise so many times on Kitchen Nightmares that I get flashbacks everytime I hear it
I thought James did a really nice job of owning his mistakes on that busted pin-up. No excuses and he seemed to genuinely feel bad. Not sure how it turned out for him in the judging but THATS how you handle critique - take it, learn from it, no useless defenses.
You should see the shoes he put on her. He basically said, "If I fuck this one up, I might as well just get out of the business altogether."
Its been 2 years but if you never saw, he actually made it to the final 2 or 3 in that season. Really gorgeous final tats from him, especially the 12 hour one.
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.
The rules are stupid as hell. If a tat recipient makes a call for a tat on their own body that isn’t “correct” or what ever that should not be held against them; and if it is then the people getting tatted should have more rules and the artist should be able to say yes or no and have more input.
For Arlene situation, I think he meant for the handle and not flip the whole thing. Let’s say she didn’t flip it.. it’s still wrong. She drew the handle wrong.
The artists can say yes and no and have more input. They literally can say they want to do something else and do it.
@@priyamanobal but they can be penalized for that too, because if the canvas isn't happy with it, they can also get put on the chopping block and/or get sent home for that. There's a fine line, but it's a bit ridiculous to make them feel bad for doing something their client wanted, like the little rock thing. If it were me, I'd rather do what the client wants, because even though it's a competition, it's their body that this art will be on for the rest of their lives. But I value people over money, so there is also that
@@batwoman9875 yeah it’ll *probably* be on their bodies forever but they signed up to get a free tattoo in a timed competition where the tattoo artists are fighting for 100k. So they need to be very open minded. They can’t come in their with a set idea of what they want and not be willing to change it or switch some things around. They could’ve always paid for their tattoo in a regular tattoo parlor but they decided to do this instead most likely just so that they wouldn’t have to spend any money.
@@priyamanobal yea, pretty sure they don't care that everyone else wants them to be open minded. And again, the artist can be sent home, if the canvass is upset with it. And even IF they don't have it on their bodies forever, it's still hours of pain for a tattoo and a removal, and tattoo removal isn't cheap. So yea. It's a reality show. But they are still REAL people, and most episodes, I'm pretty sure they get a say in what is being done. I'm just saying they shouldn't be penalized for doing something the client wants, within reason. They still need to follow the criteria for the challenge
Getting your 'significant other' done as a portrait or having their name permanently inked into you is a regrettable tattoo mistake regardless of how well it is done....
Unless you have been together with almost no problems within 10 years or more then I think you could consider it if not that is a huge mistake
@@navai7104 not even then
It’s like such a curse with that everyone knows that and I don’t even have tattoos
The worse is getting someones face done at a certian age and time when the person is still alive
The only name I have tattooed on my is my mother’s name. She’s the only woman who deserves to be permanently on my skin.
The "canvases" should get free tat laser removal if needed
I think that risk is fine to have. The tattoo was free already. I know I'd never get tattooed in a timed competition, except for maybe the finalist backpiece where they design and tattoo in their familiar shop, because I realize mistakes are highly likely to occur in that setting.
exactly
Might have misread but I think they’re entitled to a cover up?
no, that's the risk they take for getting a free tattoo
They're getting free tattoos that they know will be done under a strict time limit. A lot of them agree to get whatever the artists want to give them too.
i lost it when that dude was brushing his stache mid argument😂
America
CJ’s tattoo looked pretty decent at first but as the judges went on with their critics it just kept getting worse and worse. that miss-spelling was the final nail in the coffin
Moral of the story: Don’t get 6 hour pin ups or American traditional tattoos
Well, get American Traditional, but only from a shop with a thousand flash sheets on the wall. They crank that shit out daily.
All I got is American Traditional and they all look good. It’s all about the artist. What you shouldn’t do is sign up to get tattooed for a TV show🤣
@@eddyram4932 I think that they mean you need more than 6 hours. Although idk, I have some nice pieces and I’ve never had a tattoo take more than 4 hours lol

"The whole tattoo is a bleeping mess"....continues putting it on someone for the rest of their lives wow lol
Seriously it’s why I don’t like this kind of competition because they want to win so bad they don’t give a crap that the canvas is a really person and I don’t care that the people get free tattoos they still expect to not have huge errors like an fed up flag miss spelling and two right feet
@@hieithefox exactly, but its not always the artists fault. they basically force these tattoo artists to jump out of their comfort zone and set them on a timer and still expect them to pop out a perfect tattoo. rather than forcing the artists to just drop their style and do a drastically different style theyre not comfortable with, they should group them by style and they can compete like that.
@@torochi5600 agree I don’t expect perfection it’s more when they have a shit attitude about it that I can’t stand
@Vinnie P trust me, if you get paid enough you'd do anything, which is probably the only reason why half of these people agreed to be on the show
You do realize these people sign up for this crap and everything is fully explained in the contract you sign.. what they design goes.. when you see canvasses whine about something its probally because they were told to

Things you NEVER wanna hear from a tattoo artist before getting tattooed by them 🤣🤣
Can we just talk about how this man keeps a little mustache brush with him?? Lol
heheeh so cute
Not telling them about the thumbs till after the tattoo was done was a shitty move. Yeah, they didn't draw it, it shouldn't have been done like that in the first place but not saying anything till after someone has that shit permanently marked on their body is just being shitty to the canvas. They have to walk around with that, I know it's a competition but there needs to be some kind of professionalism towards the people involved. They'd want someone to warn them, bad form they didn't do the right thing.
I’m sure it’s an easy fix for a good artist but yea I agree
I don't agree. Aaron told Cleen that the hands are wrong. Cleen said they are supposed to be like that. I think that even if Katie said something, they wouldnt change it.
Also, It's a competition and tbf you can't blame them for wanting to win because that is why they are there in the first place
I fully agree. Its immoral. They cared more about their selves than the clients. Thats not what a good artist does.
@@HelplessGazellle Cleen wouldn’t have listened. Also, please remember that these are edited for the most drama. That’s how tv is. There is a good chance that it was brought up at some point.

“It’s a depiction of a fictional character” Buddha was a REAL individual, homie. He existed, truly, in Asian history. I’m sure Buddha didn’t have backwards hands, I think I would’ve heard about that. 😂 I’m not Buddhist, but I’m even offended by how awful those hands look. And they’re right, that black cloud was some weird stuff.
There is literally physical record and evidence of his existence and enlightenment. I wanted to shout at them tbh.
But that's not Buddha, its Budai, a local chinese legend that was included in the Buddhism pantheon. He's not a real person like the actual Buddha
Actually I don't think there is physical evidence. Just witness accounts. Just like Jesus
@@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.
@@synovelle Yeah a pilar is him and it doesnt function a document

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.
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
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)
@@WildVee there's so many serious artitsts that never really learn correct anatomy or take it that seriously, hence it's common. It is what separates good art form amateur.
These judges know anatomy better than my biology teacher
All I'm wondering is how the hell these clients agree to getting a permanent tattoo during a competition show... timed, under pressure, less likely to get what YOU want and instead what the artist wants to show off on... that would scare me
Because ✨free tattoo✨
It's free, it's a game of Russian Roulette but sometimes you can get a killer tattoo for no money whatsoever so it's worth it to some people I guess

With Arlene,I think it's ridiculous. If their canvas wanted the handle backwards,in the professional world,you do what the client wants. And isn't this competition making them professionals?
He wanted the image flipped, either way it went she drew the handle backwards
He didn't want the handle backwards.
Her lines were crooked as all hell, but I agree at how it was the client who wanted it the other way
that is so messed up allowing them to do a backwards thumb on someone's body just so you win.

Buddha as depicted in the tattoo is fictional. He wasn’t some happy go lucky fat guy. So yes he is real but the modern pop culture Buddha is NOT the real one.
There's no academic consensus that Buddha was definitely a real person. The historical writings about him **could** have been speaking about a real person but they are not contemporaneous which means his existence is in doubt and he may be a fictional character created post hoc to explain the origin of Buddhism.

Ikr? I feel bad for her even though she made a permanent mistake. At least the client liked it though.
one thing i learned about this show, never let mtv talk you into getting a free tattoo and being on TV.
15:31 The guys face when he realized it was spelt wrong 😂
Too funny! 😅😅
Damn apparently this is a KNIFE IN YOUR BACK contest- HolyHell-
Calling one of the very few religious leaders who actually existed a "fictional character" had me pause the video to double-facepalm.
I WOULD NEVER GET A PINUP TATTOO ON INK MASTER!!!!!!
I love how he's counting down and yet half the tattoos they show are half done. Why don't they just be straight up about how long the tattoos take and what time restraints they actually have instead of faking it.
cause they sat in a meeting room to finalise the countdown phrase. Time's up. Stop your machines. No more ink! So catchy!! hehehehe
Lol Cleen tried to act all innocent like he ain’t know 18:50 “no what is it”
Crortnthians is the numero uno😂😂wonder if this girl had redemption
Laughs in hyper mobility syndrome hahaha I can put mine either way around. 😂
Omg same ahaha. With EDS
EDS ganggggg 🦓
I’m confused as to how it’s Katie’s fault for the backwards hands? In the clip Aaron himself said that the hands look weird. Cleen Rock was the one that kept saying it’s fine. When other artist mess up a detail it’s that artist fault. I feel like viewers are blaming Katie instead of Aaron and Cleen who are responsible because they were a fan favorite.
Its not about fan favorite, its about duty to the client. They should have insisted to help save the client from a lifetime of embarrassment.
Right! it’s not other peoples responsibility or job to correct him or tell him what he did wrong that’s what he supposed to do or already know that’s not their problem…especially on a competition show they need to direct their anger towards the tattoo artist that’s his fault and he knew what he was doing. The canvas signed up to be on a show to get a free tattoo what do you expect🤷🏽♀️
I agree, I think most people commenting here missed the part where Aaron did mention that the hands looked weird and Cleen totally brushed that off, because in his view Buddha was just a "goofy-ass character". Shows how little he cared, not a good look for him at all.
@@notanm6616 cleen is far right in politics, i guarantee he doesnt care about ethnic cultures
Her: “Are you nervous?”
Client: “Super nervous…”
Her: “Oh really? Me too!”
That is _not_ the right thing to say.
Imagine failing on an American flag and your canvas breaks out a mustache comb. You’re cooked
17:24 I mean, even though you’re competing with them, you should probably tell them, for the sake of the canvas, since this will be on someone’s skin for the rest of their life.
At 10:06 I was like “NOBODY FUCKING ASKED YOU!!!”
I feel incredibly bad for arlene omg
I’d never sign up to be tattooed by somebody under a time limit in a competition. Tattoos ain’t cheap I’m not about to have two right feet on me 😂
really gross how they didn't point out the tattoo mistakes and just laughed "haha that poor canvas" like??? that's permanently going on someone? speak up... losers
and the way they come over and act like total jerks afterwards..
13:18 The first thing I don’t want to hear if I’m getting a tattoo is my artist to say that he/she nervous. Like I’m walking out!
