I am 75. I wear no jewelry and I have no tattoos. I have long wondered what motivates people to have tattoos inscribed on their bodies. Your "Worth It Tattoos, Pts. 1 & 2" provided the clearest and most compelling answer. The artists creating the images were each committed to their craft. Scott, however, was a true artist searching for meaning. You gave him that in emotionally powerful descriptions he was able to interpret and express on your skin. You have been working through a number of life challenges. I hope the reminders you placed on your arm have helped guide you to the lifestyle you have been seeking. Thanks for sharing and be well.
I really appreciate your insight on a practice you didn't understand before! Tattoos have always been beautiful to me, I cannot express how much I enjoy seeing Scott be so passionate about his craft.

Felix Vegge usually a faded puddle of color. A realistic tattoo will only last in black and grey and usually has to be super dark at first. When you see the tattoo this guy got a lot of the black shading is already weak and there’s no lines. When you don’t have solid thick black lines in a tattoo the color just puddles up and doesn’t add contrast. A guy like Tim Hendricks can do a portrait or “realistic” tattoo. And it will actually last for a life time, unlike this color puddle that kinda resembles a teddy bear and won’t in a year
ThisBodyIsAShell it really depends on how well the tattoo had been made... For example, if you tattoo hands, you have to shoot the ink deeper under the skin. And seeing how well his first tattoo held up, I think this one is to - and if it don't, they usually re-ink it, for free
Alexandra LoBasso tattoo artists are very particular of what they want to tat. Especially in social media age where all the artists are putting their work out there
I got one of my smaller tattoos (not my sleeve thank god) from the same place they did his (now) faded space work and it was completely blown out and raised against the skin. The worst part about it is they are very highly reviewed on Yelp in Los Angeles. Never again.
I think this was the most meaningful episode of Worth It ever. The artwork is spectacular, and there's so much meaning inside of that permanence on Ben's body. I loved this episode so much. Keep doing these guys!
I love how he’s so passionate about his work that he strays away from pop culture tattoos and names cus their “whats in” but while at the same time he’s so open to doing it if you feel so connected to it and you can even inspire your artist!
Bro, when he was talking about how he was listening to his friend's favourite song and then an hour later got the call saying he died an hour ago, that hit me man. I teared up.
wow all those people last year that said that the space stuff wasn't done right were actually kind of right. Like that was the stuff that faded first lol
You can also tell he didn't take care of it properly, looks like a lot of sun damage. When you have a tattoo, your skin care regime should come first lol. I have a big ass color piece on my arm and I try to lotion it as much as I can and always wear sunscreen during the summer... it's been a year and I always get compliments on how vibrant the colors are.
@@OrangeGraffiti yeah after you get a new piece, immediate aftercare is no. 1 priority is you want it to look good a year later, after that NEVER forget your sunblock
@@OrangeGraffiti It's still a poorly done tattoo. I have tattoos on my forearms. I work outside without sunscreen. 5 years later they are faded compared to how they looked new, but not even remotely close to being as faded as his space on looked.
I have never wanted a tattoo but seeing this guy's work has forced me to reconsider that.... It's like having a piece of art you'd find at the Louvre or any dope museum but on you forever.
LMAO. That was horrible from the line work to shading. This is what happens when you don't do your research. The guy doesn't even want you as a customer and that's why he keeps putting you off. Come back in 2 years said by no real tattoo artist EVER
@@paulgeefshuysen477 I wonder what kind of job you are looking into. I work in a hospital with a full sleeve. Also, you could always wear a long sleeve dress shirt. Obviously, I am talking about tattoos within reason. I wouldn't recommend getting something silly like a face or neck tattoo. In the end, I honestly wouldn't want a tattoo from your tattoo artist. I would feel uncomfortable having someone question every unnecessary part of personal life for his tattoo.
I was crying and all emotional about Ben admitting his drug problem and his friend passing away and how amazing the tattoo design was (even doe I also thought the idea was silly at first till he explained) bUT THEN THEY PAN UP TO HIS FACE AND HE SAYS "AH THATS REFRESHING " and I burst out laughing. Great video, guys.
That would work if tattoo prices weren't also based on the amount of time needed to do the tattoo. I have a line art tattoo that I should've paid at least 250 euros for and took 4 hours to set. Thankfully the artist had severely underestimated how much time she needed to set it and I only paid 175 euros.
since that's theft the $80 place would probably refuse to do it, well known artists have very distinct styles and if it's not immediately recognizable it would still be suspicious to get another person's artwork
@@thehecticchannel8054 definitely not theft. I highly doubt the 1,000 guy goes to the courthouse and patents every single design he does as intellectual property.
why does everybody think he has such a big ego??? I don't see it. I think people forget that tattoo artists ARE artists that collaborate with you. You get a permanent piece on YOUR body, sure, but the tattoo artist has something THEY created on you. Anyways would he really him tattoing his idea if he didn't like it?
yes exactly this ! im an artist as well and when people ask me to do unoriginal paitings copied from like pinterest i don't get inspired so i totally understand him!
I like it..but... I thought he would have done the surrounding of the composition a little more like the oil painting he did. It seemed like there was just something that was missing on the tattoo portion, especially needed some more detail to tie in the bright blue globe logo - it felt separated
I have to say it, out of all the buzz feed videos this one tugged at my heart strings the most. God Bless you and fight the good fight and stay on that right path by staying clean !!!!
Letterings are basic on any artist should be no problem, i am not an artist just a guy who loves tattoo.. but its just lettering should be ok. U can go for walk ins artist, pros is cheap can do it right away. Cons. Personal opinion risk for not clean things. And low quality ink. Point is if u just want letterings any artist can do it. Questionsgould be is how much are u willing to pay. If u have good budget go for a good artist he may suggest additional to letterings and make it more good for you or if u sont have enough budget just go for a good shop who is clean u dont want infection or anything
@@carlosams7980 It's not that he can't do it, it's not his preference. Certain artists only do lettering, it's all about finding the artist who's style lines up with what you want
@@carlosams7980 yeah. lettering is pretty basic. but even though lettering is a form of art, some him and I guess possibly some artists, it isn't. I consider lettering and calligraphy a form of art, but i can understand his preference to let images speak instead. it's like trying to play draw something but just writing the word instead
I work for a tattoo artist and we recently received some tragic news regarding the loss of a friends life, a friend who initially was a client and ended becoming a really close person in my life. I do the tattoo videos for this artist. Watching this video was extremely inspiring and I wanna thank you guys for going out of your way and sharing this story... God bless you guys.
@@TTorace dude, you're either going to an artist that's underselling themselves or you're not familiar with how tattoos are priced. I'm going with the latter.
Goodness this got me in tears, the story about his personal recovery and his friend that passed. I'm in recovery as well, 3 years as of Sept 1st. Incubus is my favorite band & has been since high school, pardon me, I use to blast this as well, got me through some tough times. Love the tattoos as well. Rest in peace Pat, Jeff, Tyler & every other lovely person who lost their battle to addiction.🕉💜
Not worth $1000......not even close. That's a $300-$400 tattoo tops. He's charging that much because he labels himself as an "artist". He didn't want to do your idea of the bear a year ago because he didn't like the idea....and then all he comes up with is "the bear in a spacesuit"? That's not a genius idea. That took all of 30 seconds to come up with....and then he didn't even do a good job of it.
I feel the same way! Like the only reason he's doing it now is because of the recognition, and the whole "I don't put text in my art" thing, like a true artist can overcome any obstacle that's thrown at them, I just think he's a little pretentious, and should be more open to what the client wants
I agree. It is not worth $1000 for 4 hours. The parts outside of the bear lacked precision and detail, it just looked like a pencil sketch. Unless he likes and is willing to pay for pencil sketch...
Yeah all the tattoos they showed were good but not great. There are amazing tattoo artists out there that produce stuff that will blow your mind but this isn't at that level.
I got a tattoo done as my first tattoo by Zhang Po. it was also a 1000 dollar tattoo. compare Po's work to this guy and youll be able to see the huge difference. This guys work is shaky at best.
I wish but because the premise of this series is money based, theyd have to start with so much money already and it's be way harder without a corporation behind them
Hearing all these people talk about the line work on the tattoo or that Scott is not good as a tattooist and that he is cocky is really sadly disappointing this guy is a really good artist and coming from his perspective and as an artist myself you can’t just draw what someone wants you need an idea and an image of how this picture/tattoo is going to look like I really admire his work and hope to achieve my level of drawing like him and one day possibly get a tattoo with that level of creativity and neatness🥰🤧💖
@@YooBro219 No. He's a great artist, great artistic value. He's just a bad tattooer. Those lines are god awful. I'm an apprentice, I've seen enough good and bad tattoos. This is not worth 1,000 dollars.
I struggled with drug abuse too, and finally quit this year, this video made me tear up. It is insane what drugs can do. It isn’t a smart decision and has left a negative impact on my life because of it, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make the best of each day and have a good time
Honestly the guy can paint but his tattoo work isnt that good. 250$ an hour is really steep. Maybe its an L.A. thing. Here in Oregon the rate is 150$ an hour give or take, for master level artists that can walk circles around that guy. But I get it, its an art form and people are willing to pay top dollar for tattoos. Especially if its from an artist that has a lot of recognition.
the way this guy sits down and talks to his client reminds me of my tattoo artist someone who genuinely cares for his customers and cares about the art, difference between a good tattoo artist and a great one in opinion
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TATTOO? I mean is this just him placesetting colors and the client is coming back for him to finish the design? I'm confused. Its not finished tho. I wouldn't want unfinished work be shown on TV.
Buzzfeed had deadlines, and most artists won't do a full color, detailed piece for longer than 4 hours at a time, especially with the sizing. It can cause clients to pass out/get dizzy, mostly because it's over a muscle which is tender.
$1000 for that...? The line work and shading is awful and sloppy. Personally, I wouldn't pay over $100 for such a tattoo. Maybe it's just personal preference but I think we can all agree on the line work at least..
@@jonathanpritchard6464 It's a shame, really. There are so many talented tattoo artists in LA with extraordinary skill yet they choose to go back to someone with average ability claiming his work to be outstanding 😪
I absolutely love the fact he's open about addiction. It's just a taboo subject nowadays even though it kills more people than anything else. So glad he shared that part with us
I completely agree with you. People need to look on Instagram and see guys like Ben Kaye, Evan Olin etc. that do work literally 10x better than this for the same price.
@@TheSmellymuffin11 It also depends on the style people like. Of course the artists you named are great but I wouldn't like a tattoo in that certain style
i think its a really cool concept, but that is at very poorly executed tattoo, it has no solid crisp outline so it will fade and bleed in the future, it has strange placement that makes it not very readable, the shadows look unrealistic like something rushed with an airbrush, the color is not vibrant or properly packed and a tattoo of that size should take way more than 4 hours especially in that price range.
I think the image is flipped around the wrong way. Like the damaged side of the bear was on the wrong side... I might be mistaken by the shots taken in mirrors tho
You don't necessarily need harsh outlines. The bear is surrounded by some heavy black, so its shape should remain intact. The bottom of the helmet, however, will likely disappear. I think he should've lined it, but I'm not a tattoo artist so 🤷♂️ (Given how soft the bottom of the tattoo is, I'm assuming he did that intentionally in preparation for a sleeve but who knows)
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and for me personally, this tattoo artist is better at painting than tattooing. I would give the space bear tattoo a 2/5.
I’ve never heard of a tattoo artist who says “give me some time” after a session my artist is always “yea man come back anytime” Although I do like the tattoo that was kinda weird
He was referring to his possible desire of wanting another bear tattoo. As referenced back to on the video Scott, the artist, was reluctant to do a bear tattoo as he wasn’t feeling it. It actually took him a full year to revert his decision on the initial bear idea and was simply saying, “if you want another bear tattoo give me some time on that.”
Maybe he somewhere, deep down, actually knows how crap he is at tattooing, so he wanted a few years to get atleast the skills of a blind apprentice so he can stop making a joke of himself on the internets.
I hate to be that person but, that is seriously a sub par tattoo. The artist is an incredible oil painter, but his skills as a tattooer are lacking. Not worth $1000....
nah man what are you talking about that's a cool heckin' tattoo. $1000 definitely seems a bit much though, but the tattoo itself is still pretty awesome. the concept was amazing and i love how it was incorporated with his other tattoo.
I love how passionate the guy getting the tattoo is. There are so many stereotypes against tattoos and when I got my first one with my mother, she told me, “a tattoo, no matter what it is, signifies something specific about who you were in that point of time, so you can look back at when you were 17 and always remember what you felt or what made you, you” The way he tied in a billion elements to be a huge sentiment to who he loved is amazing. Seriously inspiring and a beautiful trait.
Thank u for publicly sharing your story... it's hard to be open about our struggles in fear that we'd be judged. I too just got tatted as a reminder to stay strong... AMAZING TAT ;)
lol, this was so hard to watch on multiple levels. the tattoo artist's fake enthusiasm egging ben on, ben insisting on having a hideous half-burned teddy bear, the meme-tier editing of pat nastro's face when the work is being done and the artist is clearly uncomfortable about ben spilling on these heavy feelings on him, then that final result looked like something a criminal furry would get done on his ankle.
@@greypoupon5365 I get wanting something that has meaningful symbolism, but it wouldn't hurt if the design could be appreciated without getting the reference. even knowing what it's from, it still looks... bad.
The artist's reaction to when he came up with his idea made me so happy. That's like everyone's desire, for an artist to get legit excited about the art he or she is about to put on you
Well, in Romeo's case, at least he has a portfolio and the nickname "Line God" to show for it. Love the guy or hate the guy, there is no denying that he is at least incredibly skilled and his linework is unreal
@Samantha Bonilla Wow gee golly, thanks for telling me something I already damn well know. It has no bearing on what I actually said though now does it? I'm well aware of how they age but that's not Romeo's fault so I didn't need to mention it. What I did mention is how insanely talented he is at his craft and the reputation that he has.
Right. "You make a consultation with me and I'll tell you if it's worth my time." I understand artists can say no to tattoos but not worth their time?? Sounds like bs to me. I also like how last time he refused the bear tattoo, but now that Worth It's exposure has benefitted him monetarily he's all like "I love it, breaking bad is such a great show"

This did not age well....
good comment :D
That's crazy
I saw that and instantly came to the comments
Koolinokell me to man that’s wild
Dude you are smart
wow all those people last year that said that the space stuff wasn't done right were actually kind of right. Like that was the stuff that faded first lol
You can also tell he didn't take care of it properly, looks like a lot of sun damage. When you have a tattoo, your skin care regime should come first lol. I have a big ass color piece on my arm and I try to lotion it as much as I can and always wear sunscreen during the summer... it's been a year and I always get compliments on how vibrant the colors are.
@@OrangeGraffiti yeah after you get a new piece, immediate aftercare is no. 1 priority is you want it to look good a year later, after that NEVER forget your sunblock
@@OrangeGraffiti It's still a poorly done tattoo. I have tattoos on my forearms. I work outside without sunscreen. 5 years later they are faded compared to how they looked new, but not even remotely close to being as faded as his space on looked.
I have never wanted a tattoo but seeing this guy's work has forced me to reconsider that.... It's like having a piece of art you'd find at the Louvre or any dope museum but on you forever.
There are a lot of really amazing artists out there
Guy getting the tattoo has so much loss in his life it kinda hurts
Ceedrek ikr
Everyone experiences the same losses eventually. Family and friends pass away. Cherish them now.
Oh my gosh, that "Nastro" idea made me smile so hard. It was just so perfect.
tattoo itself is alright but the story behind it makes it a 10/10.
I think it's honestly one of the nicest tattoos I've seen even without the story
LMAO. That was horrible from the line work to shading. This is what happens when you don't do your research. The guy doesn't even want you as a customer and that's why he keeps putting you off. Come back in 2 years said by no real tattoo artist EVER
@@paulgeefshuysen477 maybe he doesnt want u as a customer too
@@paulgeefshuysen477 I wonder what kind of job you are looking into. I work in a hospital with a full sleeve. Also, you could always wear a long sleeve dress shirt. Obviously, I am talking about tattoos within reason. I wouldn't recommend getting something silly like a face or neck tattoo. In the end, I honestly wouldn't want a tattoo from your tattoo artist. I would feel uncomfortable having someone question every unnecessary part of personal life for his tattoo.
I was crying and all emotional about Ben admitting his drug problem and his friend passing away and how amazing the tattoo design was (even doe I also thought the idea was silly at first till he explained) bUT THEN THEY PAN UP TO HIS FACE AND HE SAYS "AH THATS REFRESHING " and I burst out laughing. Great video, guys.
How to get the perfect tattoo
1. Get artwork of something custom from the $1,000 guy
2. Get it tatted at the $80 place
That would work if tattoo prices weren't also based on the amount of time needed to do the tattoo. I have a line art tattoo that I should've paid at least 250 euros for and took 4 hours to set. Thankfully the artist had severely underestimated how much time she needed to set it and I only paid 175 euros.
Biggest finesse lmao
Nope. I don’t think the $80 shop could pull off what that artist was doing.
Clearly he is a master at his craft. Just look around his place.
since that's theft the $80 place would probably refuse to do it, well known artists have very distinct styles and if it's not immediately recognizable it would still be suspicious to get another person's artwork
@@thehecticchannel8054 definitely not theft. I highly doubt the 1,000 guy goes to the courthouse and patents every single design he does as intellectual property.
DAMN $1000 dollas that could buy me a new toilet and one of em fancy ones too
Lol i think its funny that out of all the things you could buy you would buy a fancy toilet lol
The one with the heated seat and the bidet.
That can buy me like 89 boxes of kentucky fried chicken
@@ioiuser what kinda boxes do you buy
@@steps8140 y'know... The box that carries the chicken and fries inside...
At this point Ben is just doing this to get a great tattoo for free.
Mr. Fahrenheit i don’t blame him😂😂
@@emilygusel8562 true😂
The tats aren't free he's just not the one paying for them 😆
@@springlamb7743 free for him.
they pay the artists
why does everybody think he has such a big ego??? I don't see it. I think people forget that tattoo artists ARE artists that collaborate with you. You get a permanent piece on YOUR body, sure, but the tattoo artist has something THEY created on you. Anyways would he really him tattoing his idea if he didn't like it?
+1
The real question is if the show didn't blow his career up the way it did would he have done the bear.
Noob
yes exactly this ! im an artist as well and when people ask me to do unoriginal paitings copied from like pinterest i don't get inspired so i totally understand him!
I like it..but...
I thought he would have done the surrounding of the composition a little more like the oil painting he did. It seemed like there was just something that was missing on the tattoo portion, especially needed some more detail to tie in the bright blue globe logo - it felt separated
it was just a first pass on it
That's an invitation to another visit.
I want a tattoo of the the Russian band t.A.T.u.
If you like lgbt bullying that’s fine
jokes aside I love that band
All the things she said is running thru my head
Suzanne H wait explain how it’s lgbt bullying?
Oh honey, don't. They're actually very homophobic.
This tattoo is meaningful and cool. Def worth it :)
Man this guy has a lot of ppl dying left and right
Yeah seriously
I have to say it, out of all the buzz feed videos this one tugged at my heart strings the most. God Bless you and fight the good fight and stay on that right path by staying clean !!!!
I love how they get permanent tattoos for a single video. THATS COMMITMENT!!!
Its a great way to get a free tattoo... "Hey Buzzfeed, i wanna make a video about getting a tattoo."
He already wanted the tattoo though?
The big ones are great tattoos though.
I think it's more intelligent manipulation than commitment. A $1000 tattoo that you don't have to foot the bill for? Yes please.
No, that's refreshing.
Me: I’d like my kids names on my forearms.
Him: Tell me more about them before I begin my thought process!!
😂😂.
Letterings are basic on any artist should be no problem, i am not an artist just a guy who loves tattoo.. but its just lettering should be ok. U can go for walk ins artist, pros is cheap can do it right away. Cons. Personal opinion risk for not clean things. And low quality ink. Point is if u just want letterings any artist can do it. Questionsgould be is how much are u willing to pay. If u have good budget go for a good artist he may suggest additional to letterings and make it more good for you or if u sont have enough budget just go for a good shop who is clean u dont want infection or anything
@@carlosams7980 It's not that he can't do it, it's not his preference. Certain artists only do lettering, it's all about finding the artist who's style lines up with what you want
@@carlosams7980 yeah. lettering is pretty basic. but even though lettering is a form of art, some him and I guess possibly some artists, it isn't. I consider lettering and calligraphy a form of art, but i can understand his preference to let images speak instead.
it's like trying to play draw something but just writing the word instead
I work for a tattoo artist and we recently received some tragic news regarding the loss of a friends life, a friend who initially was a client and ended becoming a really close person in my life. I do the tattoo videos for this artist. Watching this video was extremely inspiring and I wanna thank you guys for going out of your way and sharing this story... God bless you guys.
40% Buzzfeed exposure
60% He maintained his status with his skills 🎊❤️
A 1000 dollar tattoo can definitely be worth it if the artist is excellent.
Breaking the bad.

Tattoos are expensive dude. You want good quality work, you have to shell out the cash for it.
@@makaylaserniotti1474 this tattoo shouldnt be anything more than 600-650 lol
@@TTorace dude, you're either going to an artist that's underselling themselves or you're not familiar with how tattoos are priced. I'm going with the latter.
@@makaylaserniotti1474 you clearly don't know the worth to quality part of tattoos, his tattoo is wayy overpriced
@@Nicomonnn no, not really. Not my fault you go to cheap shops.
This guy is " the dream" tattoo artist for real
Goodness this got me in tears, the story about his personal recovery and his friend that passed. I'm in recovery as well, 3 years as of Sept 1st. Incubus is my favorite band & has been since high school, pardon me, I use to blast this as well, got me through some tough times.
Love the tattoos as well.
Rest in peace Pat, Jeff, Tyler & every other lovely person who lost their battle to addiction.🕉💜
When they showed the tattoo I thought that they were done for day one. Like, um, did that tattoo look unfinished to anyone else?
Catherine Martin yeah he said "we're done for today"
Catherine Martin The Tattoo isnt done they were just done for that day lol
Yes me! Horrible tattoos
Not worth $1000......not even close. That's a $300-$400 tattoo tops. He's charging that much because he labels himself as an "artist". He didn't want to do your idea of the bear a year ago because he didn't like the idea....and then all he comes up with is "the bear in a spacesuit"? That's not a genius idea. That took all of 30 seconds to come up with....and then he didn't even do a good job of it.
I feel the same way! Like the only reason he's doing it now is because of the recognition, and the whole "I don't put text in my art" thing, like a true artist can overcome any obstacle that's thrown at them, I just think he's a little pretentious, and should be more open to what the client wants
I agree. It is not worth $1000 for 4 hours. The parts outside of the bear lacked precision and detail, it just looked like a pencil sketch. Unless he likes and is willing to pay for pencil sketch...
Yeah all the tattoos they showed were good but not great. There are amazing tattoo artists out there that produce stuff that will blow your mind but this isn't at that level.
I got a tattoo done as my first tattoo by Zhang Po. it was also a 1000 dollar tattoo. compare Po's work to this guy and youll be able to see the huge difference. This guys work is shaky at best.
And after a year, the tattoo looked pretty faded. I don't know very much about tattoos though, so maybe that amount of fading is normal.
You guys should make your own channel too, like the try guys did. I feel like you would benefit more from it
I wish but because the premise of this series is money based, theyd have to start with so much money already and it's be way harder without a corporation behind them
How are they going to afford all these trips and foods and experiences without Buzzfeed paying for it? Lmao
too true.
So maybe their first video would be ... "Why I left Buzzfeed".
That picture of his daughter with the gloves is amazing
So much hate in the comments damn...
Let the man enjoy.
John Cena exactly pissing me off
Exactly. Even in the previous video!
Hearing all these people talk about the line work on the tattoo or that Scott is not good as a tattooist and that he is cocky is really sadly disappointing this guy is a really good artist and coming from his perspective and as an artist myself you can’t just draw what someone wants you need an idea and an image of how this picture/tattoo is going to look like I really admire his work and hope to achieve my level of drawing like him and one day possibly get a tattoo with that level of creativity and neatness🥰🤧💖
Just because you can draw good doesn't mean you can tattoo good lmaaaaooooo
@@NANDOOO94 Doesnt Mean His Tattoes Very Wobbly Means Hes Tattoe Skills are greater than yours
@@caspherfelizardo2238 just because he isn't a paramedic doesn't mean can do a king tube better than me shut upppp
I 100% agree with Brown. People who hating on him gotta 0% knowledge on Tattoos
@@YooBro219 No. He's a great artist, great artistic value. He's just a bad tattooer. Those lines are god awful. I'm an apprentice, I've seen enough good and bad tattoos. This is not worth 1,000 dollars.
I don't like how the artist kept telling him what he thought was cool.
Part 9, he's covered in tattoos
Part 9, $150 face tattoo
This dude just likes free tattoos. But like same.
who wouldnt like to get their desired tattoo tattooed by an expert for free
I struggled with drug abuse too, and finally quit this year, this video made me tear up. It is insane what drugs can do. It isn’t a smart decision and has left a negative impact on my life because of it, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make the best of each day and have a good time
UR not alone. Never stop fighting, delete the people related to your use from your life. Virtual high 5!
Honestly the guy can paint but his tattoo work isnt that good. 250$ an hour is really steep. Maybe its an L.A. thing. Here in Oregon the rate is 150$ an hour give or take, for master level artists that can walk circles around that guy. But I get it, its an art form and people are willing to pay top dollar for tattoos. Especially if its from an artist that has a lot of recognition.
In my town its usually like 100 to 180
Jealous
in my country its $150 A PIECE
hey hey Oregon man! Portland!
@@chatty_t978 Whats up, brother! I'm down here in Eugene. :P
the way this guy sits down and talks to his client reminds me of my tattoo artist
someone who genuinely cares for his customers and cares about the art, difference between a good tattoo artist and a great one in opinion
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TATTOO? I mean is this just him placesetting colors and the client is coming back for him to finish the design? I'm confused. Its not finished tho. I wouldn't want unfinished work be shown on TV.
i think the artist thinks it's finished though!
Buzzfeed had deadlines, and most artists won't do a full color, detailed piece for longer than 4 hours at a time, especially with the sizing. It can cause clients to pass out/get dizzy, mostly because it's over a muscle which is tender.
Smol Scout haha
$1000 for that...?
The line work and shading is awful and sloppy. Personally, I wouldn't pay over $100 for such a tattoo. Maybe it's just personal preference but I think we can all agree on the line work at least..
Yes! Everyone seems to be blinded by the story behind it, it's an objectively sloppy tattoo!
@@jonathanpritchard6464 It's a shame, really. There are so many talented tattoo artists in LA with extraordinary skill yet they choose to go back to someone with average ability claiming his work to be outstanding 😪
I absolutely love the fact he's open about addiction. It's just a taboo subject nowadays even though it kills more people than anything else. So glad he shared that part with us
I’m watching this 3 days after getting a memorial tattoo for my friend who passed away. Great video, amazing tattoo.
i guess i'll be that guy... but thats an underwhelming piece for $1000, plus thats gunna look like a red blob in a couple years
I completely agree with you. People need to look on Instagram and see guys like Ben Kaye, Evan Olin etc. that do work literally 10x better than this for the same price.
@@TheSmellymuffin11 It also depends on the style people like. Of course the artists you named are great but I wouldn't like a tattoo in that certain style
They should of gone to Romeo Lacoste
@@madisoncronn7898 umm...no
Bread Crumb and why is that
i think its a really cool concept, but that is at very poorly executed tattoo, it has no solid crisp outline so it will fade and bleed in the future, it has strange placement that makes it not very readable, the shadows look unrealistic like something rushed with an airbrush, the color is not vibrant or properly packed and a tattoo of that size should take way more than 4 hours especially in that price range.
agree 100%
Albert W. Ottesen Everyone has their opinion, as long as he is happy with it, it doesn’t matter at the end of the day
I think the image is flipped around the wrong way. Like the damaged side of the bear was on the wrong side... I might be mistaken by the shots taken in mirrors tho
He said it wasnt done. Listen before you go on a boring tangent.
What are you even talking about. Are you talking about the same tattoo that's in the vid? Don't sound like it.
Tattoos like this without harsh outline don't hold up well yearS later.... Do your research before getting crazy blurred/watercolored tattoos.
Kelsey Kaplan THIS IS SO TRUE
You don't necessarily need harsh outlines. The bear is surrounded by some heavy black, so its shape should remain intact. The bottom of the helmet, however, will likely disappear. I think he should've lined it, but I'm not a tattoo artist so 🤷♂️
(Given how soft the bottom of the tattoo is, I'm assuming he did that intentionally in preparation for a sleeve but who knows)
Still waiting on part 3 😔
wait another year fucktard
xd Refhaa it’s been a year🥰
Ben left Buzzfeed
@@scottrhodenizer7192 true but . i rly hope they could do it with like Andrew lol or like . Adam
I never comment but wow this is one of my favorite TH-cam clip that I ever seen and I know this wil aspire a of people to get a tattoo👏👏👏
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and for me personally, this tattoo artist is better at painting than tattooing. I would give the space bear tattoo a 2/5.
agreed
2/5 is generous, what a sloppy job
i thought the bear looked amazing
@@DragonDyce you wouldnt even know it was a bear without him telling you what it is
@Melanie Gary relevant
Hello people scrolling down the comments have a good day 😀👏
You too love ♥
You too
I need it I dropped my mom's laptop last night and it won't turn I might get killed lol
Don't tell me what to do
You too
He didn't have to call his gf every time, they break up?
Nah
I’ve never heard of a tattoo artist who says “give me some time” after a session my artist is always “yea man come back anytime”
Although I do like the tattoo that was kinda weird
Showtime123 I agree, he obviously isn’t a true tattoo artist just a egotistical painter that recently picked up the art of tattoo
He was referring to his possible desire of wanting another bear tattoo. As referenced back to on the video Scott, the artist, was reluctant to do a bear tattoo as he wasn’t feeling it. It actually took him a full year to revert his decision on the initial bear idea and was simply saying, “if you want another bear tattoo give me some time on that.”
it was a joke....
It was clearly a joke dude
Maybe he somewhere, deep down, actually knows how crap he is at tattooing, so he wanted a few years to get atleast the skills of a blind apprentice so he can stop making a joke of himself on the internets.
I hate to be that person but, that is seriously a sub par tattoo. The artist is an incredible oil painter, but his skills as a tattooer are lacking. Not worth $1000....
Thats what I was thinking. Amazing artist though.
so agree that didnt even have a watercolor look or a anime look it actually looks i dont know the word unfiinshed maybe.
Overpriced but he still is very skilled at tattoos
WTF?! THAT IS ONE OF YHE BEST HALF SLEEF ADD ON IVE EVER SEEN
nah man what are you talking about that's a cool heckin' tattoo. $1000 definitely seems a bit much though, but the tattoo itself is still pretty awesome. the concept was amazing and i love how it was incorporated with his other tattoo.
I love how passionate the guy getting the tattoo is. There are so many stereotypes against tattoos and when I got my first one with my mother, she told me, “a tattoo, no matter what it is, signifies something specific about who you were in that point of time, so you can look back at when you were 17 and always remember what you felt or what made you, you”
The way he tied in a billion elements to be a huge sentiment to who he loved is amazing. Seriously inspiring and a beautiful trait.
I really cried when he talked about the radio thung with his best friend.
Proud of Ben and his journey so far I hope he stays sober ❤️
Thank u for publicly sharing your story... it's hard to be open about our struggles in fear that we'd be judged. I too just got tatted as a reminder to stay strong...
AMAZING TAT ;)
lol, this was so hard to watch on multiple levels. the tattoo artist's fake enthusiasm egging ben on, ben insisting on having a hideous half-burned teddy bear, the meme-tier editing of pat nastro's face when the work is being done and the artist is clearly uncomfortable about ben spilling on these heavy feelings on him, then that final result looked like something a criminal furry would get done on his ankle.
Well Nickel, if you watched "Breaking Bad" the art here, and the artist would suddenly make sense...
meme-tier describes it so well lmao
@@greypoupon5365 I get wanting something that has meaningful symbolism, but it wouldn't hurt if the design could be appreciated without getting the reference. even knowing what it's from, it still looks... bad.
@@greypoupon5365 I love breaking bad and the tattoo idea was uninspired and "meh" executed. Could have done a much better job...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for such a meaningful tattoo I think that the bear isn’t “hideous” at all.
The artist's reaction to when he came up with his idea made me so happy. That's like everyone's desire, for an artist to get legit excited about the art he or she is about to put on you
I don't know what people are complaining about? It looks great
People are just complaining about the guy, not the tattoo.
Depressed Laughter people are complaining about the line work, and rightfully so. It’s shocking
That bear is incredible. The color really made it amazing
The bear he got isn't even burnt on one half ( wasn't that the whole point) of getting that bear ?
It is burnt... it has burned edges and a missing eye and half body. The space suit is supposed to partially cover it.
@@blankname6657 O I see it's hidden behind the space suit
and even the eye is on the wrong half of the bear
Yes it is
Yeah it was you just gotta look closely
This artist is awesome, he treats every tattoo as if it was his own.
this guy has the BIGGEST ego wow I thought Romeo Lacoste had a big ego but god damn
Well, in Romeo's case, at least he has a portfolio and the nickname "Line God" to show for it. Love the guy or hate the guy, there is no denying that he is at least incredibly skilled and his linework is unreal
kale mason Romeo is actually good
@Samantha Bonilla Wow gee golly, thanks for telling me something I already damn well know. It has no bearing on what I actually said though now does it? I'm well aware of how they age but that's not Romeo's fault so I didn't need to mention it. What I did mention is how insanely talented he is at his craft and the reputation that he has.
Right. "You make a consultation with me and I'll tell you if it's worth my time." I understand artists can say no to tattoos but not worth their time?? Sounds like bs to me. I also like how last time he refused the bear tattoo, but now that Worth It's exposure has benefitted him monetarily he's all like "I love it, breaking bad is such a great show"
Anubis 497 this didn’t age well
