Ink Masters

[ShawnPorter]

I design and copy-write my life away.

I sell booze to guys in leather chaps.

Sounds like you have a better time than I do. All of which is still better than Ink Masters.

This thread about this bullshit show is the 2nd biggest thread in this section. The only good thing that happened here is that I got a reminder of Hoggy's birthday. Hope you did it big homie.

I'll be watching that, but only because I'm a copywriter at an agency.

Correction: I am a beautiful copywriter.

Saw the commercial for that.. I think I blacked out a little, luckily didn't toss the TV out the window. It's exactly what people at agencies need, more nonsense to inflate their egos and make them even more money.. I don't understand why we insist on celebrating the rich and talentless. A show about my previous 9-5 (8:30-7 on a good day, actually) would be the most mind-numbing depressing show of all time. They obviously woulda made it about my old boss, who drove his orange lambo to and from work every day and had a new Ed Hardy shirt for each day of the week. And aside from making money hand over fist, he also "designed some tattoos" for friends. IUHGKRGIRUEKLQWAGHhhhhhh anyway..

In conclusion, hogg, yes, you are a beautiful copywriter.

I think Joseph Conrad said it best: "the fascination of the abomination."

Okay, this is a Ink Master thread, but has anyone watched Best Ink on Oxygen? It's like Jersey Shore meets Ink Master, and all the drama of [insert city name] Ink all rolled into one!

At least Dave Navarro is heavily tattooed. This show, we have an alt model (non tattooer!) as a judge, and an American Idol contestant with some script on her back as a host!

Something's definitely off... but I'm just gonna keep watching because I like self-torture.

Go ahead and watch too, I wonder if you guys can stand it...

I could tolerate Ink Masters because it was mildly entertaining, and it had a couple good artists on it. But Best Ink has to be the worst show I have ever seen in my life. It's about as tolerable as Teen Mom, which makes me want to throw stuff through my TV. That said, I do usually catch the last few minutes of the later replays to see if "Triple X Jess" has been eliminated yet (hoping every time that she is). Seriously though, worst show ever.

Same as with the rubber-necking associated with bad car wrecks... sometimes ya just gotta look...

I was watching re-runs of London Ink the other day. I think it was the best of the "Ink" shows and decent artists too (apart from Dan Gold whos work tho good, nowhere near as good as the others )

[CultExciter]

I just watched a couple episodes of this, you know, was hoping I could understand why this thread is so active.

However, my brain feels like mush. I can't get those 2 hours of my life back.

I've been away from the threads for a while, but I am starting to get caught up. Who won Ink Master? And as far as Best Ink, if only Oliver was on that show too, it would be my favorite show on TV. (well I side from all the other show I watch. History Channel, Nat Geo, etc.)

@Patriot Ink Tattoo, highlight the following text to know who won (in case some don't want to know):

SPOILER

Shane won, although I think Tommy had the better tattoos in the finale.

Best Ink seems to have a little less drama, maybe...I can't not watch these shows, don't know what it is. They're obviously bad, but I'm so starved for tattoo content...

[Patriot Ink Tattoo]

Thanks man. But like a dumb ass, I asked here and then went to spike.com and just watched it anyway. And I totally agree with you!

Oliver Peck's response to critics on TAM's blog:

Haters Gonna Hate

I agree with 99% of it, but personally, I like Joe Rogan as a host. His podcast is pretty cool and his sleeves look pretty well-executed. At the very least, he has more tattoos than most of the guest judges they brought in:

We talked a little about that article in this thread, starting here:

[Patriot Ink Tattoo]

That lettering is bad and the artist should feel bad.

and as a whole it looks like it came out of a coloring book or some of garage sale signage.

[ShawnPorter]

So... they're still casting "human canvases" for season two.

I just saw a solicitation asking for people willing to get "hand, face, head" tattoos, as well as women willing to get pubic area tattoos.

I weep.

[SStu]

Face tattoos on TV?!!

Wow.

[turnermade]

"

Wanted to put this out there.... This guy tattoos in the same town as I. I'll just let the video speak for itself. Yikes.

[Our Endless Days]

what a fucking abomination this show is
