Did you watch Ink Masters last night? If not you can watch the whole episode here!
I think a reality competition show about tattoo artists is a super cool idea. Basically the same format as Top Chef or Project Runway (which I am addicted to) but with WAY higher stakes.
Listening to Oliver's critiques on line work and shading was super interesting. That type of knowledge of what to look for in a tattoo artist will make for a more well informed public. I think the time limit to do the tattoos is a bit scary since they have to be on someone's body forever but I guess a good tattoo artist can budget their time accordingly. Some of the artists seem like they might need some more experience before they will get everything down perfectly though. Which is a little scary to watch and you feel for the human canvases, well most of them. Anything the contestants do though will likely be better than what the people might get from walking into the nearest open shop without a plan.
It is always nice to see our friend Dave Navarro.

didnt know the show but thank you very much for I really liked the chapter
I really enjoyed it, it's great to see that tattooing is a branching out to be the subject of popular styles of reality tv. I hope it'll make the public have a little more respect for those with tattoos and those who do tattoos.
It really makes me want to get my sleeve started!
I'm a big fan of Jeremy's work. I wanted to slap the bitch who walked out because she couldn't handle the jandle, it looked like her back tattoo would've been amazing had Jeremy been given the chance to finish it.
I was surprised by the mediocre quality of the final tattoos during the second challenge :/ I'm not surprised B-Tat went home, the quality of his line-work and geometry was absolutely appalling.
I look forward to the next episode!
