That Friday the 13th tattoo seems SO right for some removal? Fairly thinish lines, no shading or color really? Either to make for easier cover later or just plain removal?
(I know this comment is old bUT) Yeah, my thoughts exactly, I've had laser removal and my lineart was way deeper than his and all came out in 4 sessions (the second one too, the shoes would end up looking like a reddish mole maybe)
I was thinking the same thing
Yess. It would have been so easy to remove! All the ink used in the thin lines would probably equate to one or two squared centimetres. There wasn't much ink on it.
I'm surprised that there aren't more tattoists that do have a laser removal too - particularly those that offer to cover prison/gang tattoos. It would make sense to fade old work first before a cover up.
I've seen one episode in TV yesterday and the tatoos they "covered up" were super light and halway gone already I am sure 1 session in removal would have erased them and instead they got some super black giant rose (that only looked like a giant black blotch from afar)
The first tattoo honestly looks like he was painting with markers that were running out of ink. Poor dude.
“Yo I heard you want a coverup, so I’mma give you a coverup that needs a coverup” should be this show’s slogan
More like “I’m gonna give you a coverup you can’t coverup to support laser removal”
Coverup-ception@@jordanblair7286
In Germany we have such a show as well called Horror Tattoos. But the big difference is that the cover up artists in there are actually awesome tattooists who know what they are doing. Maybe you want to check it out to get some faith back into TV Tattoo shows
That sounds like our American Version, Tattoo Nightmares. I love the artists on that show and they do awesome work, not to mention their "dramatizations" of the time the person got the awful tattoo are so funny. This is just....BAD.
@@CaityCat.95 the show is called "horror tattoos" the artists are really amazing. they havent done one piece where i would think "wtf is that"
Is it better now? I used to watch it when it first came out but wasn‘t a fan that it was more a casting show for who has the saddest back story, and only a few minutes of actual tattooing... I want to see more about tattoos and the artistic process than about how and why random people got bad tattoos :(
Metallique ahh ja kenn ich. Die artists sind mir da auch sympathisch im Gegensatz zu gewissen anderen
I thiknk it was that show where the guy had a lawn mower that mowed his pubes away hahahahahahahah that was so hilarious :D
It did seem fake when he was sitting there. He had nothing to support himself against, so could you imagine trying not to move with them pushing on your back tattooing and you have nothing in front of you to lean against? I have seen people sitting up for their back tattoos but always are on a chair backwards, so their chest is against the back rest of the chair. Plus like you said, he was bobbing around, no way you could tattoo straight with a person moving all over.
I watched a couple of clips on youtube after watching this video, and it's always like that, like the girls make crazy sex noises and the guys are grunting like they're being stabbed, it's clearly fake hahah. You would never do a back piece like that-.
I sat up on a chair for my back and shoulder piece and I was sitting how you normally would on a chair. And I did so for 4 hours. But I was leaning back in he chair
I sat on the tattoo bed when getting my back done. I didn't lean on anything. It was uncomfortable but it made for the best result. Otherwise on a chair I would have been too low for them to even get my whole back
I hope it's fake tbh
skinnypigs1 and it seemed like the tattoo artist was using one hand
I'm from the US here and the comment you made about good artist won't do the Tv show bs is so damn true. I have been getting my horror sleeves done by a amazing portrait artist and we started talking about Ink Master for some odd reason and he told me they have bugged him for a few years now to do that show and he refuses every time they offer him a spot on it.
I don’t necessarily dislike the show itself. But yea the artists are not ‘some of the best tattoo artists in the uk’. The show would definitely be great if they had better artists, and less unnecessarily dramatic moments lol
@Resting Bitch Face the editing drives me nuts, I can't watch it.
They resently started playing the episodes here in Germany and I could't help but notice how BAD most of the tattoos "fixed" where. We have a simliar show here in Germany called "Horror Tattoo" and the Tattoo artists there are sooooo good. They travel around Germany and always pick 3 people in each city to cover a "horror tattoo" out of many people. They take in consinderation the story behind it and if it can be coverd up in general and in 5 hours. Also they take time to plan out the design making it unique for every client and the tattoos are top quality. They meet on a different day so they have time to think about the design. Honestly most of the designs from the Tattoo fixers almost always look simliar..
Tattoo fixers is just a disgrace compared to this.
One tattoo that really shocked me,was when Jay tattooed a giant Amy winehouse on the leg of a girl. It was just sooooo bad and super big and super black,so there is no way that girl can ever cover it up or laser it to fix this mess :/....
Jellyfish_skys i know right omg when this shite hit german television i was like hell no im out
Musste meiner mama erklären, wie schlecht die tattoos bei tf sind
when it started airing in germany my mum started watching tattoo fixers because I got tattooed a few months prior and she wanted to see what its like. I immediately said nononono you go watch horror tattoos if you have to 😂I don't like that show either but you're right - their cover ups are way better!
What I dislike about the show is that sooo much screentime is spent on selecting the 3 winners. So much airtime that could be used to show more than just 3 cover-ups in the end. In that aspect they should work a little more to the point like in Tattoo fixers ;). I watch these shows mainly because I wanna see the results! But agree, the quality is much better on the German show.
There's a certain level of irony in that they're covering up "Friday the 13th" with an Oni.
Brittany Burtis It's used to get rid of bad luck isn't it?
It's very much context-based. Not all Oni are bad; in Japanese myth they are ogres that went around and terrorized villagers, but there is a legend of a monk who became an Oni to protect his village from other Oni. In the more simplified language of tattoos, Oni are lumped in with Yokai, which are demons. Either way, the intent or meaning of having an Oni on the skin can be either to protect from bad luck (Think the monk who tranformed) or to give off a sense of intimidation to others by likening the person with the tattoo to an Oni or a Yokai. Honestly, on rewatching the video, I think the piece was going more for a Yokai than Oni, as there are certain key details missing such as the furrowed, intense brow and the wrinkled nose that come with Oni imagery. If this was a concious decision on someone's part for trying to keep with the horror theme of the original tattoo (judging by how Tattoo Fixers seems to work, probably not) or if it was intended to combat previous bad luck by scaring away evil spirits, or just a spark of "Hey you know what would look cool? Demon-thing", I'll never know.
Is it because of the origin of the word meaning to hide (yes I had to google it) or because it’s usually portrayed as a demon or spirit in anime( based on the anime I’ve seen with them).
@@LattyPink lol I don't think anime is the best source for properly understanding Japanese culture, but the comment above yours explains it quite well
Those coverups need a coverup.
hhhhh true
Its sad cause I don't think they can come back from that
So I just have to wonder on what your opinion is on ink master? I'd love to hear what you think!
She has said before in a video that she thinks it's quite a well done program because it's about the technical bits and that she doesn't mind the dramatized bits because it has to have some of that for it to be interesting for the tv. Don't take what I said verbatim, I paraphrased. Hope that helps a little to answer your question.
@@NiamhHoganTM I'm just happy she enjoys it. I definitely think it's a tattoo show worth watching.
@@InkAndPoet I'm really happy she likes it too ! It's one of my favorite shows. I love how they focus the artwork and techniques.
Where is the second fang on that hannya mask? So tragic!
That back tattoo scene is 100% fake! No way he’d be able to tattoo him without the guy at least leaning onto something or lying down. Absolute bollocks. It’s SO scripted 🙄
I'm waiting for the sequel, Tattoo Fixers Fixers
I just wanted to say thank you for opening my eyes to the wonders of tattoos, I've been subbed for a while and because of your channel I've drawn a simplified version of the tattoo I want for myself and I'm searching for a good tattoo artist that can do what I need. Before I found your channel I was scared of getting a tattoo, mostly a fear that my family will get pissed because of it, but thanks to you I don't care what they think, and my mom is actually on board with it. You're amazing, you're wonderful, and once again, thank you.
Big fan,
Lupa
These people can't finish their tattoos, but as far as I'm concerned that's a god send...that "japanese traditional" piece was atrocious. He can't be a real tattoo artist...he's just a model with a sharpie right?
I can't fathom why they would do partial line work and then color in one session... why would you not just do the line work and follow until the end? It's just.... so bad
Emma idk I’ve heard with bigger pieces you need time to heal
@@JamesConley999 yes you do. Doesn’t matter how good the tattoo artist is or isn’t when you’re getting a big piece it’s best to break it up. Someone with a sleeve I had line work done first then I had to heal for six weeks then I had shading done then I had to heal for another six weeks then I had to go in and have solid done it takes time
I wish “tattoo nightmares” and “bad ink” were still around, they did good coverups.
also wouldn’t it of just been easier to get that 13th one removed than getting it covered in that shit?
The skull is fine. It's at an angle turned towards the bellybutton. It's fine.
Glad someone thought the same because like don't get me wrong I hate almost every tattoo I've seen them do on this show but the skull one was such an overreaction imo :/
Its not straight on, its facing at an angle plus the skulls mouth is open which affects that as well.
Holy shit that first tattoo looks sooo bad....it looks like it's colored in with dry markers wth
They fixed that homeless guy on her leg by making him look more homeless. Wow.
I knew when I saw tattoo fixers not all of em actually looked that good in the end. It neeeeeds to be dark and be fully saturated for it to be totally covered
I don't get why they need to insert shots of him in fake pain xD
Kind of like tattoo nightmares, but a lot worse.
Edgar Mattingly tattoo nightmares is really good.. very little drama and good artists. Take notes tattoo fixers!
Tattoo nightmares is great. They're horrible
11:40 that doesn't really look Japanese, he said that he wants something Japanese, but it just doesn't look Japanese to me. I know it's not finished but it sucks.
Didn't he say he wanted a dragon though?
@@highflowerfairy2554 he did
That's so not a dragon.
I'd be like, "um, what the fuck. I hope you're paying for my laser because this is too big to cover and also not what I asked for."
Actually, it could probably be turned into a dragon.
As long as this dick doesn't touch it again.
I'mAGamer Cookie I hate when people say "I want a Japanese tattoo" and the artist *always* draws up a dragon and *then* asks, is this what u want? 🤐
I lost it at “someone pray for me, I might die” LOLOL 😩😭😂
I don’t like how the artists are like “rEaLy?!” when the people need to tap out. I realize it’s fake, but when my tiny bumblebee tattoo caused enough pain for a breather, my artist was happy to give me a 5 minute break
I’m always amazed by how good some people’s eye for quality is. Like I’ve watched about 10 videos of yours where a tattoo comes up and I’m like “that’s decent” and you’re like “look at this dogshit”. This is why I’ll never get a tattoo without my sister’s approval.
(I can see the difference when the dogshit is next to real quality btw, I’m not that bad)
The best part of this show is the receptionist (her whole vibe, she is amazing) and the girls tattoo artists' clothes. Aside from that I just watch it for the awful tattoos... And the cover ups are often barely better 🤭
you should see if you can find any “good” tattoos from the show
p.s. untangle your earbuds 😩😂
margo blanc Omg, the earbuds were driving me crazy! 😁 I thought it was only me (maybe because of having a virgo moon😉)
Margo stfu
Um WHAT IS THAT ONI!? Omg I'm laughing so much. I've spent like hours googling different Oni designs from historical pieces and more modern artworks. That there on that dudes back is one messy, wonky looking Oni. And the colours are patchy looking and kinda gross? Like they don't look good together figure out your saturation buddy foreground is more prominent background should be less saturated. Make the blue work with the red cause that blue don't work with that red.
The first cover up lain part is 100% fake lmao. His reactions are so fake, hes moving, and hes sitting up. Definitely not real. How cringey is that!
Allison I feel like no one is mentioning how fake this show is like the whole entire thing is fake. I can’t believe stuff like this is normal in the UK😂 and they actually believe it
tbh i don't think the skull is that bad i think it's meant to be an up angle with the mouth open it's just not a straight on angle which is why it isn't symmetrical
Arden Gill that’s exactly what I was going to say! I think that tattoo was fairly okay
I've only watched the episode with the marmite tattoo and I thought that was really cute and well-done! But from what I've heard of Tattoo Fixers it was an outlier
Also, could you do a video looking at Jeffree star's tattoos? I just watched the videos where he talks about them and some of them are really nice and some are..... Hmmm.... Would love to know your thoughts!
Some are old.....very old and need to be touched up so some of the lines may have faded over the years. Especially his large cat woman with all that black....it fades to a dull grey colour. The teeth on his knuckle areas those are small and would fade very fast....
Am I just completely and utterly dumb? Why am I just now noticing your Medusa piercing? Whatever, it looks rad! I adore your videos!
😂💕 ow bless you!! I’ve had it a year 😀
treacle tatts It looks great! It’s not a piercing that would be flattering for me (It’s one of those things where I like it on other people and not myself) but it suits you!
This video definitely made me notice that either my standards are pretty low or I’m feckin blind bc I didn’t even see there was anything wrong with that skull... Shame on my poor head 🤦🏻♀️
Rebecca Dean tbh you often just notice how bad things are after you informed yourself
My main issue with the skull was that the top part tilted/faced right, and the bottom jaw tilted/faced left. It looks cool because the artist knew where to put the details - but as a basic shape it was way off and just all kinds of lopsided
@@Tanjaaraus lopsided is an understatement......those eyes.....honey no.....those flames what are they? They look like someone took a thick sharpie and drew a line....
the skull just looks like its meant to be on an angle, obviously the execution of whatever perspective it's meant to be seen from wasn't done well, I wouldn't necessarily say it's lob sided, just that it's at a poorly done angle
@@Jo-wd5yl it's lopsided honey. The angle looks sideways backwards or whatever it's not good
We have the same show in Germany but the tattoo artists are unbelievable. I'm always blown away how good the pieces look😄
As a picture framer I can confirm that frames do go that wonky, and I get paid to fix it. You don’t want that on your body 😂
Also my upper back stuff was done sitting :( it would’ve been so much more comfortable laying down, plus I was the only person in the studio not able to watch Toy Story 😂
YES MY GAL 🔥 this show makes my blood boil. Edit: I actually shrieked at the "oh honey no! The face on that" 😂😂 not gonna lie I live for the Ian Beale, it's so iconic 👏 I mean I would NEVER, but it's so funny. We need more of these videos!!
Like you said just because it's a cover up doesn't mean it should be any worse. The point of a cover up is to cover up the ugly with the pretty not to add ugly to ugly.
im still a newbie to the tattoo world but good god those look atrocious.
I love that your exercise bike is being used as a clothes rail and plant stand. So relatable.
I was just talking to my mum today about this show
y'know
educating her on how wrong it is
i may be wrong, but I don't think the skull one is supposed to be symmetrical because it doesn't look like a straight on view. it looks like he purposefully rotated it slightly
They really out here giving you a full-body tattoo because you have super small text of your ex's name on your arm.
my brother is a tattoo artist in leeds, and at his old shop one of the guys who had a tat fixed on the show came in... they couldnt fix the fix and he had to go and get laser treatment to just get rid of it a little bit.
That back tat looks like something i wouldve sketched in my text books during middleschool wtf
If you ever want to do another one of these there’s loads of videos on facebook, they’re always coming up in my recommended smh. Great video, glad someone can’t stand it as much as I can’t 😂
“No shading”
Girl the only thing that’s shading is you!
Loving the realness that you serve us. ❤️😜
Lord save us. That Ian Beale one was just horrifying. That poor lady!
Hi ! I remembered you mentioning post malone before ! I think it was inked magazine released a TH-cam video of post malone tattooing a Friend and the comment section it really interesting ! I would love you know you thoughts! :) x
Ooo I’ve seen the video but didn’t look through the comments ! I’ll have a look now! 💕
i lovvvve this idea! please make a video on it (:
Mollie Vickers yes!!!!
I think the skull was meant to be on an angle, but if so they should have committed to that and made it more obvious. As is it's hard to tell and that makes it look wonky, whereas I don't think it looked all that bad. How he's planning on addressing the red in the teeth, I will never know.
I absolutely love your eye shadow in this video
The saturation in that oni looks like someone’s tried to colour in with texta. Super patchy
“I’m sorry but he can not say a tattoo is shocking”
Five seconds later: “ohh my god. Honey no” 😂
The way that the tooth was coloured in with red.. smh 11:58
I don't understand why you would say your opinion doesn't matter! You have lots of knowledge on tattoos so of course it does! don't sell yourself short. ❤️
Hey! Bit of a new subscriber here. Wondering if you've ever heard of an American show called Tattoo Nightmares? It's a bit like Tattoo Fixers but it's more focused on the ridiculous stories behind how the people got their tattoos (they even do some over-exaggerated skits to accompany them!) and the tattoos they end up with are really good! (But I'm not expert on tattoos, kinda a tattoo virgin if anything) My only real critique is that, like Tattoo Fixers, the cover ups tend to be pretty big.
Another show I'd recommend is Ink Master and/or it's many spinoffs (Redemption, Angels, etc). It's a pretty dramatic competition show where someone gets kicked off every week, and some of the tattoos are... Eugh. The show's been heavily criticized for imposing impossible time limits on large tattoos, judges choosing favorites despite claiming to be "fair", ridiculous "flash challenges" that have NOTHING to do with tattooing, and in my personal opinion sometimes treating the canvases like shit (i.e. canvases walking out halfway through because they aren't getting their way, artists forcing their canvases to change their minds on what they want "so it can be easier", and if a canvas leaves for any reason, that artist is forced to either have their unfinished work judged OR they give their damn selves a tattoo!). I recommend it!
The Friday the 13th one made me cackle. “Bad luck” I have a pinup girl dressed as Jason from those movies on my arm. No bad luck here.
"The beard looks like mold" 😂😂😂 love that comment! Spot on!
I kinda liked the skull one! I could see it coming together once it’s finished.
Tbh with the saturation it looks like someone just drew on his back with some crayola markers
I believe that tattoos can be an amazing expression of things that are important to you
I'm getting my first tattoo by an artist highly recommended in my location in Taiwan. She took my idea and made it gorgeous.
She does a lot of cover ups, re works and scar covers. To my novice eye, her tattoos look great, and she's a real artist, she did a tribal over a scar and it looks amazing to me.
On Facebook search 台南精艷紋身 I'd love for you to have a look at her work!
Just subbed...I love you! Your reactions are adorably hilarious! 💖
Would love for you to review tattoo nightmares. The show did amazing coverups and the ones that were covered so many were really really bad, the tattoos being covered were so bad, some were vulgar, some were huge. Two that I recall were a full chest piece for this girl that was beautiful when done. Another was this guy that had to have his full chest, from breast to belly button covered, and it was so good. It’d be funny to see your reaction to the bad tattoo versus the good tattoo 👍💜
copying artwork to grow as an artist, is a perfectly fine as long as you don't:
1. claim it as your own
2. claim that you were just "inspired" when you were really tracing
3. tattoo it permanently on anyone's body(use fake skin instead)
4. claim that you came up with the concept entirely
5. mock/insult the original artist
6. not credit the original artist. i don't mean saying "all credit to the original artist", i mean stating who they are
it can be good for learning and fun, but it is not your piece. you may have a copy of it, but the art does not belong to you. be respectful and appreciative of artists.
Preach 🙌
I love how passionate you are about tattoos :)
There's a other Show called "horror tattoos" and they also Cover up tattoos and even if its a Tattoo thats left actual scars, or something that is big, they always do amazing Jobs at making those Covers! They always look perfect and i Just love how good the Quality is
Yooo your shirt is so awesome!!! Also makeup on fleek as always x
“LOOK AT THE FACE ON IT” 😂😂
Id love it if you did a video where you went through the artists (from the show) instagram pages and react to their other work :)
By the way, I love your videos!
Also sorry if you have already made this video and im just not aware of it haha
Spill that tea hunty! 🍵
P.s "Keep it real like Ian Beale"
I had my back piece done sitting up. It's not uncommon.
The condom hat comment made me laugh 😂
Ok but what eyeshadow are you wearing? I’m really digging that eye look!
Tbh, with a back piece I would still want them the show me an image of what they’re going to be doing so I could properly see the whole thing straight on and know if I really like it, without having to twist in front of the mirror
One thing that annoys me the most about this curtain show is that someone had said "when a client comes in with a simple idea, make it creative, put a bit of your art into it" which is completely stupid, people want simple tattoos for a reason. Like for me I want to get an outline of a necklace i have that is in memory of my bearded dragon (it's my profile picture) and when i turn 18 I want to get that tattooed on me, I don't want something huge, it's completely stupid because if someone tried to put their own creativity in it then I'd be pissed,
Just a little opinion
my ex boyfriend has a full Japanese back piece and for ever session he was lay down for it, it was just easier for the artist to get the right angles and it made it slightly more comfortable for the client as well, obviously he was in an extreme amount of pain but it would make it a lot more bearable. Sketch doing the bottom of the back or the middle with the guy sat up is extremely hard and its just going to be so uneven and wrong by the time its done. Also they wouldn't have been able to do massively detailed tattoos at their size in one session it would have to be two, so 100% fake. I lost respect for this show when it was always the "i was on holiday and drunk" the only decent clips or tattoos are mostly Alice and Jay was good at portrait especially for people that went through traumatic experiences, other than that its a joke.
Women with EastEnders tattoo: I lovee eett~!
Me:
*WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!*
"My opinion Doesnt matter. Im just here." *Diva face* LOVE IT Lmaoo
I can't imagine anyone finishing a backpiece in one day. I sat in for 4½h for an upper arm tattoo.
Fun fact: one of the tattoo artists (Jay) went to my high school and nearly everybody in my area agrees he’s an average/kinda crap tattoo artist.
He came back to my school and came in my maths class, he seems nice but I don’t know why he’s “one of the UK’s best”
Just came across your videos and your girl over here is on a massive binge
Just Tattoo Of Us, this and How Far Is Tattoo Far are truly a headache, not shows
I don't know much about tattoo process but imo if I was having a back tat I'd rather have the outline done first then come back for the color etc? But I really don't much
I love your reactions to the tattoos, you took the thoughts right out of my head, love your vids❤️❤️
Wow your eye shadow looks amazing!
You should react to Bondi ink so you can see a show with proper tattoos
I feel like I’m gonna have a nightmare of waking up with the last tattoo!
Is that your exercise bike with a potted plant and sweater on it? 😂😂
With the first video (the Japanese cover-up), I have a feeling that they didn't want to be like 'oh we can't do this in a day' so they made the guy pretend it was too painful to keep going.
There's a german series called 'horror tattoos' which has a similar premise, but the artists are amazing.
I only like the first video because they used a song of Miles Kane and he's one of my favorite artist haha.
I had a back tattoo done sitting up but I was sitting in a sort of massage chair thing.
How are they even going to pull that skull out of the trash?? It’s awful
I hope you read this TTatts! My best friend had a friend go on that show and from what my friend told me, her friend was not impressed with his experience. Like you said in your videos before the whole it being in a shed is true it was unhygenic. And the tattoo that my friends friend got didn't heal well at all, they put the ink in too deep under the skin and it looked good when they took the picture for the show but how it healed afterwards was so bad, the ink had bled out everywhere under the skin and once it had fully healed it was so patchy in how the shading was from where they had done some ink so deep under the skin and some like a normal. He also said that they seemed so fake and the way they do things from the camera as if it was 'first time' they have to react all shocked when really they had already gone through the script multiple times and it was offputting and just felt so fake. Sorry for the long comment, just thought this would be of interest to you. Also, I love your videos, you are so much more informed than all these 'fangirls' putting you down. So I'm right on your side, keep doing what you're doing girl! 💖👊
What I really find annoying with tattoo fixers and body fixers is the dramatic reaction the "fixers" always have when people show them their problems. I mean, yeah it´s mainly their fault if they have a bad tattoo, but it´s so over the top how they react.
I just wanted to share with you that I just got my first back piece! It's not 100% finished yet but will be this month! I love it so much!
What do you think about the “US version” of this show? America’s Worst Tattoos? I’d be interested in seeing you react to that!
22:25 - me when I find a huge spider in my flat.
