Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
wilbert-305-274209 I watch the show and all the reruns! I like it so much that I don't care if I have seen the show 2, 3 or 4 times before. Hell, I will watch it a 5th, 6th or 7th time and I will still love it.
xchromosomosapian This is like watching angst-ridden teenagers of the 90's, that have aged and forgot to change their clothing style, try to make it in 2016. The hosts spend way too much time getting hair and makeup done. Dave's and Chris' ever-changing bangs and clipper designs on the side of their heads make even a 15 year old girl's hairstyle seem constant. The tattooers are dressed in Hot Topic clothing and are caricatures of the "cool kids" they associated with in high school or saw on some TV show aimed at teenagers. Spike TV found a way to make tattoos cookie-cutter by putting total tools on TV that would otherwise be playing dungeons and dragons and/or magic if they didn't decide to hang out at a tattoo shop. This show actually motivated me to have all of my tattoos removed. When tools and douches are getting tats, it makes me hate to have ink all the more. The only reason I began to watch this show was because of the soft spot I have in my heart for Janes Addiction. The show was cool at first but this season just made me nauseous. They couldn't have put a greater number of total douches in the same room if they had an open casting call for it. Even that girl that is sort of hot with the neck tattoos came off as a total douche nozzle. I went from wanting to bang her to developing a hatred for her as I struggled through the first episode. I'm moving on from this show.
The Couchpotatoes I will continue watching this show no matter what happens just because I love tattoo's and I just love watching creative people. About the show itself it could be much better if there was not that constant feel of everybody acting. You're not actors, you're tattoo artists. Every episode you see them speaking bad of and/or to each other and I can only conclude that they are acting. If anybody would talk to me like that, or being in my face all the time, I would just be in a fight every single episode. So to me it's all acting and I don't get why they chose that concept. The challenges are sometimes pretty stupid as well. I would rather watch them tattoo a lot more, with a lot lesser arguing. Some of the artists are also very arrogant and even if some are good I certainly never would go to any of those arrogant bastards. I have a lot of tattoo's and all of the artists I went to were friendly guys. Anyways, if you like tattoo's then the show is worth a watch. But don't watch it for the judges or the game itself because that's pretty boring. I don't even care who's winning, I just want to see nice tattoo's.
eveledbet This show definitely has the potential to be entertaining: a series of passionate tattoo artists competing in challenges that are relevant to their art form for a chance to win $10,000 and the title of Ink Master. However, instead of respecting their craft the producers(presumably) have chosen to go in a different direction. Create the same drama every episode over and over and over. It has become the most monotonous TV competition show. They not only show a lack of respect for the art form, they go a step further and display a lack of respect for the competition in general by deliberately breaking their own rules week to week. This is not done in a clever way to incite more tension in the competition. This is done in a way to incite more irritation from the viewers. The judges show extreme favoritism and go a step further to even sabotage other contestants. Bottom line: if you want to watch a show that's about great innovative tattoos this may not be the show for you. But, if you wanna watch a show where judges piggy back on a contestant and watch the others squirm than this is a show for you. I am not a tattoo artist, but I have too much respect for competition in general to be entertained by this garbage. I will not watch this show ever again.
