It’s a cross between “how can you be so rude to someone that will have your art on their body forever” and “how can you enter a competition to get a free tattoo and act like the competition doesn’t matter”
It’s not up to the client to care whether the contestant goes home or not. If he knew what he wanted then give it to him instead of trying to change a permanent tattoo so you can stay in a stupid competition
@@mrr_corleone Yep, first off all i dont understand people who go there to have permanent tattoo from complete stranger without any reference, discussion, showing previous work etc. but if i somehow appear there i would instantly leave after first sentence from those narcissistic morons like in this video with Sausage, client is right its his body he will be living with that tattoo so give me what i want or iam out rest is not ma concern. And btw if those want call himself "inkmaster" they should be able do tattoo on difficult skin and not constantly whine like kids especially when majority of their work in this show is subpar trash.
@@Pedgo1986 get off your fucking high horse bro.
ITS A FREE TATTOO. You get what you get and you don’t bitch about it. Yes, it’s permanently on your body. Yes, what you want matters. If you want to control every single aspect of what you want, then go pay the hard cash for it. This being a free tattoo, you need to understand that you don’t necessarily have complete control of what you get. But yes, if you don’t understand you are entering a competition for tattooing and may need to meet a middle ground with an artist than go ahead and go pay $100-1k for your own damn tattoo. Stop being a little puss and just be a decent human being. Ego kills me man. Get over yourself.
@@CWBchannel are u actually dumb or what? The point of the competition is to give the clients what they want in hopes the artists does a good job. Free or not, it’s the whole point that artist is even on tv. The fact you can’t understand this shows your intelligence
it will never not kill me that they call them “human canvas” insted of “clients” or even “people” 😭
Why should they, the way this show presents them they might as well be Guinea pigs. I just remember that poor lady who had 4 artists tattooing leopard print all over her skin at once and they laughed at her having a panic attack
If they did I feel like it would hopefully motivate the artists a bit more to actually produce the best they can rather than just be like “oh that was a bad day lol so funny I’ll never see it again though so it’s okay”
@@jammindragon1812i feel bad for the people that come on most of the time. Im sure most of them are content that it could end up being not the best, but having such a bad experience that isnt related to the shitty art is horrible
The professional term doesn’t bother me even nearly as much as them wanting to sabotage other tattoo artists, which also means giving people the worst tattoo.
I agree with you but there is the fact that they are not paying clients but are volunteering for a free tatt on a reality competition show and that separates them from a regular person who pays money for a tattoo. They know what the deal is when they sign up
Nuñez docking points on Kevin’s coloured portrait just because he doesn’t like “coloured portraits” even tho that’s what the the client wanted shows how biased the judges are. Man this show is a wreck 💀
I also think that it's because colour doesn't stay in well if it matches with the skin tone.
@@eleanorcooke7136 Nah it was obviously personal towards Kevin, the goal was to create an accurate portrait and his was literally the most accurate out of the artists in the bottom, the aging problem isn’t even a real problem that can always be retouched and some shading on the facial features can easily fix that,
That was the season I said... "they really are trying for a female winner, after they gave Anthony, who gave a half-finished piece, the title the season before. Holy political bullshit. And then they kick out Oliver for something he did DECADES ago? Geez, never make a mistake in your life ever."
talking about how the skin color of the portrait is the same as the clients skin, when its a portrait of the clients own kid….
Honestly I thought kevins tattoo was way worse, he made the kids face look suuper droopy on one side when it did not at all look like that in the photo reference. His face looks less accurate and i would be so pissed if someone tattooed my kids face like that
the judges are the worst in this challenge. "Hey, here are a bunch of canvases who want color portraits. Also, everybody who doesn't do color wins by default because we despise color portraits, and there's a person who specializes in black and gray portraits. Good luck!"
When the judge shit on an artist able to do photorealistic tattoo because he prefere prison tattoo made with a ball point pen, you know the whole show is just a joke.
I don't understand how they sent Kevin over Nicki home. That portrait looked more like Eddie Munster more than any child I have ever seen. Also ya have a standard of all color or no color.
"the point wasn't to screw you. The point was to give you something you couldn't win on." Dude literally said the definition of screwing someone over.
I don’t think it was meant that way. They didn’t want him to get tattoo of the day, but I doubt they were expecting him to go home. Sausage had proven himself all season, and they didn’t want him to win again. Although it obviously didn’t go that way
It was pretty clear why they did what they did, all the context was there before he made that asinine comment. They totally did it to screw him.
Why shouldn't they try to win, though? When they have the opportunity to choose, why would they give the hardest task to a person who'll go home before them anyway? What's the point of an advantage if you're not gonna use it the right way?
@@kristin123a well sure but they didn't have to lurk around him after, taunting him about his bad canvas. That's so classless. Also, can it really be "winning" if everyone knows you're not as good as the other competitors and purposely sabotaged them again and again so you could "win". I humbly disagree.
Right?! 🤣
sausage’s choice to try and talk the client out of the spot he wanted was a good choice, he’s looking out for the client and telling him the tattoo won’t look good there.
I think the only issue is that he was first phrasing it as “I don’t want you to get the tattoo there because then I would lose the competition” whereas he probably should have explained it as “because the skin is loose, the tattoo won’t look good on you or on anyone.”
@@briannad9155 yeah i agree, he wasn't doing it bc he had the client's best interest in mind, he only cared about himself and winning. Which, I get, but as a tattoo artist, your first priority should be your client not yourself. and honestly they were being really dehumanizing to that first guy, im glad he finally set them straight and told them that he didn't care about them winning the competition, bc it IS going on his body FOREVER.
it was a good call but he went about it the wrong way
@@sydfaith6502 finally someone got it right 👍
@@sydfaith6502 took the words right out of my mouth!
The fact that Nuñez straight up said "I'm not a color portrait guy" IN FRONT OF KEVIN'S CANVAS pisses me off. Kevin took the biggest risk out of EVERYBODY. So for Nuñez to say that and send him home makes me believe he had made up his mind before judgment.
I think so too, and also because he was mad that Kevin wouldn’t take his advice & do what Chris would’ve done.
@@jahgaming9509 Chris doesn't even do portraits! If I was Kevin's coach, I would have said "if you're confident that you can do a good color portrait in 6 hours, then do it."
Nuñez is straight up jealous. He's good, but not great.
Nunez in the mid seasons was bias as fuck. It was very evident which people he didn't like and always found a way for them to get kicked off the show.
@@motodog242 It's "biased."
Saying the skin isn't tatooable is fine, you can explain to the customer that it's a hard spot and you can't guarantee it'll turn out good with the time limit you have. Don't explain it by saying 'I'm not gonna impress the judges with that spot', like he cares about that, they just want a good tattoo.
I would imagine there was some editing in his response
Totally agree!!
Even if its a free tattoo, and for a competition, its still a permanent piece of art on a person.
Does no one have good bedside manner anymore???
man, that first guy was over aggressive for no reason. He's getting the tattoo for free and gives Sausage all that smh
If you’re going to live with it for the rest of your life, you get to be picky. I understand that it’s a competition, but it’s also that person’s body. Ya’ know?
@@mza2195 Getting a tattoo also involves respecting your artist. You get to be picky, yes, but you do not get to be an asshole.
@@mza2195 he could've said it better tho that dude was rotten.
I think he was aggressive because he felt attacked, like he was basically body shamed in front of everyone for "loose skin" at the very start. He might have issues with his body, and felt overwhelmed but kept generally quiet- then took it out on his artist, which wasn't Kool (yet I still kind of get it cuz the artist made it seem like winning was more important than the clients satisfaction......either way I blame it all on the edit, it probably wasn't even that bad, or it was staged, cuz it all worked out in the end...
Could have talked to him about how horrible it would look on that stomach instead of giving the competition and winning as the reason. Some could be production drama for the show that they both agreed to after having the real conversation which probably went the way of my previous statement.
Love how nonchalantly sausage brings up that he got his canvas to switch to a chest piece
Facts 😂
naming yourself sausage is a power move
Scott: I gave you a bad canvas Sausage that skin is so bad your tattoo will suck lmao
Sausage: Yeah that’s why I’m doing a chest piece now
Scott: *Nate Dogg voice* Hold up
it looked like a cool scene from a movie lol
I still wish Sausage had won. He was such a good competitor.
i hate that sausage argument because they’re both right. Sausage is right to be offended that they gave him a hard canvas, but the other guys are both right that it’s a game, you gotta try to sabotage to give your own work a better chance to shine.
Yeah, but in sabotaging the artist by giving him a difficult canvas is that someone's leaving with a terrible tattoo for life. That canvas has to stare at that mistake every day because you wanted to win. If you really gotta screw up someone elses body to win, Do you even deserve the prize? Shouldn't your art do that for you?
@@bryn1063 for this one in particular it’s the canvases unique situation with loose skin and an ambitious tattoo on a hard area, not because it’s sausage in particular.
Someone had to get that canvas, and by giving it to Sausage who is a talented competitor they actually unintentionally did that guy a favour.
There’s also the argument that these people going in to the competition to be canvases know what they are signing up for and have had these discrepancies explained in detail before they go in. If you want to have a perfect tattoo then it’s probably not the best idea to sign up to get a free one on a competition where artists are experimenting, competing and being pushed beyond their limits. I understand the counter argument though, it does seem a bit sleezy and inconsiderate to sabotage a permanent etch on someone’s skin.
@No room for cat swinging I know the tattoos free, but aren't these people professional? I just don't think it's right for you to mess up someone when in this someone's walking away permanently with an awful tattoo. Sure it's free but it doesn't have to be so awful. I'm also glad they gave the guy to sausage, but if It was someone else they'd probably do it and boom, it's forever and looks off.
@ConicalGutterSnake Literally said "but if it was someone else they'd probably do it" but alr, my premise is "is winning the competition really worth it if you had to get someone else to screw someone else's tattoo?" I get that a lot of money's on the line and they want it but it just seems weird at least.
I can tell you would throw your own mother under the bus to win lmao. How is it fair in anyway to do that to someone?
dani’s tattoo blew me away. amazing likeness and i’m sure the canvas was so happy with it.
As is the fallen hero smiling down from heaven on his buddy carrying his likeness on his body to remember him. It was the one tattoo that no one was allowed to mess up and Dani sure did right by him.
Yes, it is an amazing achievement. Gobsmacked by it.
the way the other artists spoke about the canvas with lose skin was vile. and sausage was right to talk him out of it, it would be unnecessarily painful, ugly and just hard to tattoo
💯
Honestly the fact that they said some stuff in a judge mental tone in front of the canvas as well. I would assume he wanted something there as he was self conscious about it.
Sausage definitely helped him out by not giving a bad tattoo as well.
Right?! I saw other commenters giving the canvas shit for being so aggressive, but as someone who is trying to lose a loose-skin-causing amount of weight myself, I’d be offended too if someone was talking about my skin like that. By the time I get there I’d be like “fuck y’all, I EARNED this skin!”
Especially when they called it a “soggy canvas.” Like wtf?
I understand the guy for being defensive and saying what he said. But I'm also very glad that he did take the time to listen and get the tattoo somewhere else. Sausage is an amazing artist I remember this season and I would love to get tattooed by him. I hate the people keep saying "it's a free tattoo it's a free tattoo"
no it's not cuz if the tattoo turns out badly I either have to pay to get it covered up or pay to get it removed. and let's be real people have paid back alley tattoo artist $100 and those tattoos are absolutely horrible and people live with those with regret everyday. So quit acting like if somebody paid for it they're still going to get a decent tattoo. Cuz we know that's not reality either. So again I am very glad to sausage did talk this guy out of getting it done from his stomach. Cuz he would have been the one with deep regret on that.
Scott: Look at how Sausage is complaining how he has to tattoo his canvas, what a big baby haha
Sausage: I talked him into getting a chest piece
Scott: *immediately complains to anyone nearby*
Cause he a shitty artist I hate that dude
I like the way Sausage emphasises the word, “chest,” to really let it sink in. 😂
@@amyr8526lol
Males, amirite?
complains? it didn't come across as complaining to me, he was just telling his partner (not 'anyone') what happened
So Kevin was kicked out because he hurt the ego of the judge?! Just because he doesn’t take your direction doesn’t make him a bad artist. Of the 3, his was the best.
That judge has sucked the entire series. If he doesn't like he's gonna get you kicked off
Imo his proportions were pretty bad. The one side was droopy and the jawline was awful. It looked like a storybook kid who is going to a fancy dinner
"This isn't real life, this is a competition" uh it's going on someone's real body can we acknowledge that please
Mad props to sausage, the fact that they try to give him bad canvases and he talks his way out of it shows his skills as an actual business person
That damn little sausage
His canvas here, on an unrelated topic, has a look on his face that reads like "i hate everyone".
The stomach tattoo would’ve aged badly since it’s just excess skin
I feel like it was better for the canvas’s sake and happiness too
@@InkAndPoeti mean, I would feel that way too if people were talking about something insecure about. No doubt he felt defensive, he probably didn’t know that it could make the tattoo not look as good
Don’t you people find the idea of referring to an actual human being as a “bad canvas” to be a little fucking disturbing?
“the point wasn’t to screw you. it was to give you something you couldn’t win on”. THATS THE SAME THING
That guy didn't grow up with any formal education lol
I was thinking the same thing.
Its extremely patronizing
The second sentence explains the first sentence.
@@Cnightz Yep and that's why it was said lol.
Imagine being a "canvas " and hearing how worried your artist is about the tattoo.
I loved Ryan’s portrait. Yes it was a bit dramatized but it absolutely looked like the kid and was well done. By far my favourite out of those shown.
I wish they overlayed the portraits over the original pics
I often feel bad for the people who get tattooed. You basically stand up there as everyone points out what's wrong with your body and act in a generally dehumanizing way
Yeah I know there’s been some times where overweight women have been really badly ridiculed
It really rubbed me the wrong way that Sausage called the first guy “not tattooable”. Like damn. He’s literally just not white. He’s not even dark-skinned. People darker than him get tattoos all the time!
@@DeathnoteBB that's not even what he was talking about. He wasn't talking about the color, just the looseness of it. You need tight skin for a good tattoo. Not everything is about race.
@@melwhite2023 yeah but he went to the table saying basically "your loose skin will lose me this round" not "hey man, I see what you want, but let's do it somewhere else because I can make that look amazing". It was just such a negative way of interacting with the canvas. He had every right to tell Sausage he didn't care about the contest after being told that his body will be the reason someone else will fail.
@@melwhite2023 I guess but whoever decided to edit it like that or directed the audio take, really should have been more specific…
Imagine going for a tattoo from Master tattoo artists in the hopes you get anything cool, just for other tattoo artists to stand in front of you and say, [blank] would totally botch this tattoo.
I get it's a competition, but I would feel horrible knowing people purposefully tried to get me to have an ugly tattoo.
yeah I feel the same, but you have to remember they get it for free
I was thinking the same thing. my only thought is they were probably told or warned before agreeing to be a canvas that could happen.
Even their worst tattoos still require some level of skill, so it could be worse
Hey, if you want a cool tattoo then pay for one rather then go a competition show lmao, can’t feel that bad.
I'd turn around and walk out. do that crap on some pig skin
Sausage really didnt argue well. Instead of saying 'I want to win this' he should have said 'I want to give you a tatto that looks great'. Same message: Get it somewhere else, but way more comforting for the guy getting the tattoo
Exactly
Mad props to sausage. He was a little whiny, the point of the game is to eliminate the biggest threat, and he ultimately proved why they were right to give him that ridiculous canvas. Dude crushed it with an awesome piece and convincing his guy to get it in a better area. Sometimes the guys too good and the plan backfires, all it is 🤷🏼
Dude wasn't whiny at all. He made smart comebacks that just pointed out what gym bro was doing, and it got gym bro's knickers in a knot. Class act, honestly.
How was he whiny? He pointed out what was done to him, confronted the perpetrators. That's it, lmao. Also, if you have to screw someone over you think threaten your chances to win, you're probably not that comfortable in your own skill.
I get why the first canvas was frustrated, he seemed annoyed as soon as everyone in the room made a show of his stomach. It didn't need to be like that, and if his artist had any type of decorum, I'm SURE the canvas would have been more open to finding a new spot. It wasn't bad advice, but it was set up horribly and it was given horribly.
I couldn't agree more. What was that that one of the artist called his stomach later?
If Sausage had just explained that it wasn't in the CANVAS' best interest right off the bat then he probably could've even convinced him to get it somewhere even easier
Exactly, if sausage was more like
Hey man congrats on the weight loss like that’s admirable , so imma be honest , loose skin is hard to work on , and it can get messy and even deform with this skin , and if you decide to get the skin removed then it can deform even more , I believe you should choose a place where the skin is less loose “
Facts
guess what, these guys are tattoo artists. not fucking guidance counslers. their not there for your feelings. truth is the truth whether they tell nicely or not.
@@showerjedi9627 this is how i acted back when nobody liked me too dont worry, you’ll grow out of it
Sausage really should’ve told that first canvas that he was more worried about if they would’ve eventually wanted skin removal surgery or if the loose skin would alter the image that they truly wanted. I’m glad it didn’t blow up in his face though.
I'm pretty sure he did off-camera, hence why he was able to convince him to swap to a chest tattoo.
It’s insanity he even wanted a tattoo on loose skin
@@saiyan1191 I wonder if the producers created this "drama" between the canvas and Sausage.
@@sidneybales9062 Of course they did haha
@@sidneybales9062 they did. if you do research on the show, what they do is scummy in general. They fabricate/create stories out of nothing basically, and that's just the tip of what they do.
For instance: there's no significant time crunch for the tattoos. Contestants of the show as well as canvases have admitted to this. The judges do a single walkthrough where they talk to people, and then do time call outs all at once, and then leave. They aren't actually on a timer though (at least not the short one they show on camera).
And this fact is funny, because some of the absolute terrible tattoos had an out of "time crunch". But with this knowledge, you realize they did a terrible job without one, are just THAT bad at tattooing lol.
I feel like no one talked about how Kevin's color portrait was lopsided. The eyes weren't the same shape as each other. The kid looked liked some of stroke patients
Plus the jaw was so wrong
That dramatic editing with the music and the shifting of faces, and then somebody very seriously saying the word “sausage“ gets me every time
Honestly, really proud of Sausage.
I would trust him 100% with any tattoo
He’s my favorite!
literally. i don't want a tattoo from someone who will just do whatever i want with no questions. i want a tattoo from someone who is willing to tell me "no, thats a stupid idea."
I totally think he is one of THE best artists they've had on the show. That being said, I do kind of agree with those guys about him being a bad sport/baby. Like at the end of the day the canvas was gonna go to someone. Its not like the guys competing against him went out IRL and found that canvas to give to him.
Your 1000th like :)
This show absolutely abuses the "high tension reality tv show noise". Yeah you know the one I'm talking about.
waterphone!
💯
_eEeeEechink_
@@generalman1496 lmaooo
fr theres not a single second where theres no noise its fucking annoying
What bothers me is that they give tattoos to people that they want to mess up. That is something that someone will be stuck with forever.
Yeah. However, these people must be prepared because these tattoos are free and done inside a competition on limited time. They should be aware that the artist might not finish or be able to do exactly what they want.
The first clip. The backfire with Sausage is the absolute best and number 1 backfire in the entirety of all the seasons. Between their reactions, the way he convinced the canvas, the others failing, and ultimately Sausage hitting a home run. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
"Sausage that slippery little Weiner" HAHA
That little sausage
Their comments about Sausage make me laugh every time!
That pun.........
I don't like it
Sorry
Shame he is dead
@@Jim.Frantzisson how did he die?
I honestly do not understand why people want to be a canvas when the person picking your artist is trying to SABOTAGE them! 🤷🏻♂️ They want your tattoo to be bad!!
Have always thought the same thing!! I honestly don't see why this ''''competition''' is even geared this way. It should be like Face Off where they're given their theme/assignment and it's may the best artist win EACH. TIME. No wack ass sabotage that's ethically deplorable.
Pretty sure they’re given a disclaimer by the director/producers. And it’s a free tat so they decide to take the gamble
Also the canvases are getting a free tattoo by the worst one of a bunch of AMAZING artists. That's better than going to a random shop, paying a small fortune and hoping for the best :D
Dont get a hard as tattoo get somthing good and simple so everyone would want yours and you could possibly the best
Yeah but most or the time, they're going to try to sabotage the artists ahead of the competition, so the "bad" canvases will end up getting the best artists most of the time
One thing I learned way early was telling the artist my idea and gave them full control of the piece. I asked what style they did and I went with that. It always blew my mind seeing the finished product
exactly! especially if you dont rush them and let them take their time to pay attention to details
The Portrait challenge with Kevin was a prime example of the bias in judging. Kevin’s was more like the portrait than Ryans and miles better than Nikki’s. That was all about Chris being butt hurt because Kevin didn’t listen to him than the challenge. All judging should be blind. That way it’s fair. Of course they wouldn’t be able to skew the show for dramatic effect. I will say though, Ryan is the best champion in the history of the show. She could use any medium and be great at it.
Sausage and Steven are far more superior artist imo
Ryan was really good, but Gian totally beat her in the finale. Hers was okay but a little stale, his was something nobodies ever seen before and he nailed it. I think the judges wanted a female winner, which skewed the decision.
In defense of the first canvas he did something amazing by losing a lot of weight and everyone is just like ew this skin. I would be hostile too. The artists sometimes have no tact
Exactly. It’s one thing to make comments on a canvas, and another to do it both in front of the person and on tv
They have to be in their profession. What are you talking about? It’s not a dietologists office.
Well it does make it incredibly hard to tattoo, that's what they were commenting on
They never said eww they said in a professional way if I tattoo this loose skin it will look like crap.
he was wrong to take it out on sausage tho… just for trying to do a job well. he decided to get that tattoo on his loose skin. isnt it common sense to know that wouldn’t work out very well? i guess if i didn’t realize that i’d be feeling pretty hurt and defensive too tho
I love how they threw the whole “accuracy” thing out the window when it came to voting for nikki or kevin. Kevin was stubborn but in terms of accuracy nikki’s was horrendous
Yeah I was really confused and a little upset about their decision to send Kevin home opposed to Nikki. Stubborn or not, Kevin’s tattoo looked WAY better than hers when it came to accuracy, and his work was just a lot nicer which made it more pleasing to the eye unlike Nikki’s tattoo work which was really dark, hard to register, and looked absolutely nothing like the real portrait… yet they sent Kevin home for being… stubborn? Idk that didn’t make any sense to me at all! So yeah I’m totally with you on that one.
The dude deserved to go way before that he was on the bottom so many times
@@esdeathisbae9480 Ohhh okay I didn’t know that
@@esdeathisbae9480 on the bottom not bcuz he work was bad They just didn't like the guy. Had nothing to do with his work
@@MrtrapLive regardless of the reason he should've been gone sooner
I have a lot of respect for the first canvas for calling it how it is. When Sausage was talking to him about how HE has to win the competition and it has to look good for HIS sake, of course the guy he's tattooing is not going to care about him. I wouldn't either with that attitude. That tattoo is going to be on his body virtually till the day he's dust. Yes at the end of the day it's a free tattoo, but if you want respect someone to respect you then you have to give it out as well.
They’re getting FREE tattoos though and they know they’re signing onto a competition. If they want something specific they can go pay for a tattoo. I’m normally pro-canvas, but I think Sausage was decent if a little blunt.
If you enter a competition and get a free tattoo, then yes you 100% have to bend to help the artist win. If you don't want to compromise to a challenge/time constraint then find an artist and pay full price.
your literally signing to be a canvas for a competition show you might have to compromise and you have to know that going into it
What a dumb point. How does he win? By doing work that looks good, and work that looks good is good for the customer.
Your argument is like saying a Doctor who tells a patient that giving them fake tits so big they drag the ground would make the Doctor themselves look bad doesn't care about the patient, when the fact is that hurting the patient is precisely WHY they would look bad.
I don't get the argument "I didn't care if you go home" honey he'd go home if the tattoo is BAD you seriously would take a bad tattoo because you're too stubborn? He would win the challenge if the tattoo is good!
I really admire the final product for Angel ( 31:11 ) is really well done, and her technique was awesome, I was worried cause she said she had no experience with neon or biotech, but the client gave some input about what he wanted and she found out how to get the neon to work with shading and finding the brightness like her previous work with negative space and only black/white. I love that for her so much and love that even the client was like "yanno you just gotta give some input about what you want and let the artist take it away".
Oh my God, Dani's soldier was INCREDIBLE! The expression, the eyes, I got goosebumps!
I'd absolutely love to have something like that piece. That guy must've been overjoyed with this rendition of his buddy.
Seriously!!! She’s such a talented artist
Ye. Im not sure why that clip was thrown in with sabotage backfires though. They got the dude with the "pinup" girl out just like they were clearly trying to. Got under his skin, convinced him to take on a difficult portrait, and then kept him in his own head until he screwed up.
@@gman1515 I think it was not really Danny's sabotage but that guy force to pin-up.... That's some deep insider sabotage strat there
I know! I got teary eyed 🥲
Absolutely - a beautiful tribute 😊
Kevin's face on that baby was NOT even close to being more accurate. He made the kid look like he was melting. Good lord.
Yeah and the right eye was literally falling off the face of the toddler
The kid literally looks like he had a stroke
Nikkis looked like a 40 year old woman warped onto young kids face
I thought it was really accurate actually. Nikki's looked more cartoonist to me. Like she stylized the face way more.
Kevin's shading was, to be blunt, awful. He certainly messed up big time and they didn't mention nearly enough flaws. His was more accurate, but a worse tattoo. Personally, I wouldn't want either, but in this scenario if I had to go off art alone I'd choose Nikki's. Even if it doesnt look like the child, at least its not a melting child lmao. Anyway, they both are amazing artists; however, these tasks seem quite difficult. We'll done to both of them, it must take alot of guts to volunteer and get a tattoo on a show like this 😅
ryan’s canvas was a dream she got so lucky
2:10 bro went off 💀
y’all fighting about kevin vs ryan, but nikki’s tattoo was by FAR the worst
They're both bad, that's why they're in the bottom. But hey Nikki's looks off for sure but it's not worse than Kevin's melting kid mess
I agree, Nikki's tat looked way worse than Kevin's. Judges were drunk

I think part of the decision to vote for Kevin was his unwillingness to take advice from the judges.
Kevin was the only one who actually did what the client wanted
That's where I'm confused. They never really keep in mind what the client wanted. If they do I don't see it
I would imagine in this business that is the most important thing right behind not letting someone drunk or high get something they will regret
@@mar69storm Not using black is considered bad. He should've warned the client that he must use black.
I am just really happy that the memorial tattoo for the soldier buddy didn't get messed up.
kevin was doing what he felt like doing, he was doing it for his passion not to satisfy the judge's ego. honestly kuddos to kevin
I just don't understand why they would choose Nikki's bad tattoo on the premise of longevity when it's still going to be a bad tattoo in a few years time. Kevin's tattoo may fade, sure, but he/another artist can always touch it up and add the lining colors that Chris was talking about. There's literally no way to save Nikki's tattoo.
That's exactly what I was thinking! I'd rather pay a little more down the line just to get touch ups then have to pay more to get it removed because it looks like shit
You definitely can't fix that eye on Kevin's, he looks like his eye is melting off his face or like he had a stroke. I will never get a portrait because they are way too easy to fuck up. Nikkis was wack too, but I would have that on my body over Kevin's.
100% Kevin should have stayed over Nikkie. Judges gave a bias against color tattoos sometimes.
I feel like they were upset because Kev wouldn’t listen.
I think they chose the longevity because it's a basic necessity for any "good" tattoo in the sense of properly grasping the basics. Kinda like one of the fundamentals that they don't test on, not like precision, values, layout/composition, so on. They do flip flop A LOT on which they take into account more heavily though so it's always a mystery which they choose as the more agregous wrong.
Theres been tons if instances where people got chewed out for it "not being punched in" and that it would fade extremely quick though (note like the watercolor like challenges specifically where people struggle most often ).
If something fades enough that a touch up is required ok that's understandable minor retouches aren't ever out of the question, but from what I could tell it would be an almost complete rework of the previous tattoo and you'd be essentially paying for the same one (quite possibly as much if not more) a second time to have it redone. I think that was the guys main thought process.
I guess a good example is having someone do a 'ok' job on nails but they are solid and will last the weeks/month before a fill is needed vs a prettier but less solid job on nails that break within like 3 days of having them and you have to go back and get it and most likely the whole hand(s) fixed unless you want to risk more breakage in the future after that initial repair.
(don't have specific nail knowledge so im going off rough estimates from what I remember about how long certain types should last)
How have I never seen this first guy in any of the bad canvas complications, he is a humongous ****
He has been
oh I’ve seen him there
He's probably the worst canvas of all time.
He’s there but usually on “best of” reels.
He's been there but thankfully he listened to Sausage and got a badass chest piece
Would have been a disaster on his stomach. I think the guy was just defensive about his loose skin
OMG this is exactly why i dont get any portraits done. i know how hard they are to do and i would be absolutely crushed having a piece of trash portrait of a loved one stuck on my body lol
You just have to do research and find an artist who actually specializes in portraits and you'll have nothing to worry about
3:44 It’s oddly heartbreaking to see the literal artists bullying the canvases 💀 They definitely don’t deserve to win.
Sausage fr deserved so much better, I feel like we never actually got to see him on his prime on this competition
i strongly believe he was robbed of his win
He was my favorite person on there!
@@dancinelmo10 completely agree. Judges in the finale were biased against Sausage.
@@dancinelmo10 yeah when he didn't win my jaw dropped, he was so obviously the best between him and scott
@@DD-d6d3 If you look up the show, they have an idea of who they want to win the entire thing before the artists even make it to the location to begin filming, and then they act on this belief throughout the show. It's why so many people who seemingly should have been kicked off somehow stay.
So yes, there was Bias, because they wanted the other guy to win from probably the start.
The Judges screwed Kevin over. Nikki’s tattoo was vile 💀. Imagine getting a tattoo of your kid and it turns out looking like someone’s grandmother with heavy lipstick and a botched pixie-cut. I would sob. Kevin’s tattoo lacked a deal of things but even over time that tattoo can still be re-touched. It was so easy to decide. Kevin’s tattoo was better.
The heavy shading looked awful in hers
Right? Nikki's tattoo was awful. It really was
my nword kevin was robbed
Fr😂
Judges really voted him off cause he didn't listen to their advice 💀
kevin definitely should not have gone home. his tattoo looked so accurate compared to everyone else’s
I agree with the thing about Angel's advantage as a black-and-gray artist. Illustrating everything in black gets you used to stuff like highlights, shadows, and gradients. You can apply this skill to colored drawings in the future.
That soldier tattoo is honestly one of the most beautiful portraits I have seen come out of this show.
ong the face turned out so good
I still can't believe Kevins tattoo lost compared to a little boy that ended up looking like someone's mom with a pixie cut
Facts
I agree
YUP
100% agree
She made him into a goth
I really like Sausage, he keeps his cool and that makes him easy to respect compared to all these hot headed tattoo artists.
“Portraits, my Achilles tendon” 😂😂🤦♀️
This episode highlights one of my BIGGEST issues with this show. If you're a damn good tattoo artist you CAN and most likely WILL turn people away. For any reason! You don't want to, you don't have time, they aren't acting appropriately, you don't think you can do what they want the way they want, any reason!
Just the same as America's next Top Model. A model can turn down any gig she doesn't want to do,, so forcing her to do crazy shit is teaching them how to fail.
I think vice versa as well though. A client can walk out if an artist does not fit their needs. But in this case they don't have backup "canvases" if they don't work well together, so the canvas gets frustrated when they can't get what they want while the artist gets frustrated they can't be free to tattoo their best.
Well, like all “reality” shows, it’s main purpose is for entertainment rather than realism. Unfortunately.
@@krd2331 , and the most unfortunate thing is that reality tv producers seem to have collectively decided that human misery and toxicity are the pinnacle of entertainment.
Pushing tattoos artists and models not to have boundaries or say no when they are uncomfortable.
Giving contestants alcohol so they'll argue and fight is also a common tactic. They did it on RuPaul's Drag Race Untucked for many years.
@@janeeyre1990 that is the shitty thing, the toxicity. I don’t want toxicity on my reality TV. The biggest reason why I love Face/Off, the special effects - makeup show, is because, with the exception of one single season where there were two really bitchy contestants, all the contestants do is help each other out when they can. They aren’t catty or snide in their confessionals, and if a contestant needs advice or help getting a mould out they’ll drop everything to lend a hand because they are artists that want to see another’s vision come to life. They don’t want to see another person not pull it off. Contestants want to win because they executed something the judges love, not because everyone was worse. I don’t want to see sabotage or vindictive contestants. I don’t want to see arrogance, either. I don’t know why anyone thought such personalities would be good TV because at the end of the day you’ll walk away thinking of them as a bad person. That doesn’t make me want them to win. I want to see good-hearted people compete and to compete with everything they have.
I think it would be good to have maybe a “switch out” or get out card. One per person in the comp, and it’ll be tense to see if they’ll use it or fight it out
I am really glad that the Veteran got such a good tattoo of his friend that died in combat.
This is wild. I'm watching random stuff on RUclips and then I see someone on here is getting a tattoo of a friend I went to high school with and was in Afghanistan when he died. RIP PFC Austin Staggs 16:18
thats fucked
the concept of this show was so interesting but the judges absolutely ruined it. they picked favorites every single season and would constantly pick black and grey tats over color, even if the color was significantly better. they shouldve judged every tat blind.
I can't believe Kevin didn't double check with the eyes. I'm surprised that wasn't the main topic for discussion bc it looked like the eye was drooping off the face. And he somehow made the hair look extremely greasy..
Right? The while thing was really droopy and weird. I mean I liked the colors but the judges know more about how they look long term than I would. He definitely needed to take a step back and look at it as a full piece instead of the individual parts.
@@LoveLee_Dreamer Ikr. It amazes me how he didn't take the Judge's advice on avoiding color for this piece. Or at least have the basic decency to check your anatomy before you permanently tattoo someone's kid on their body. If I was the recipient for Kevin's tattoo I would be devastated. lol
@@Maddie-nw2ii There is now way you think Nikki's tattoo was better than Kevin's. Absolutley no way, hers didn't even look human anymore and didn't look anywhere close to the picture. Plus if you don't like Kevins then get it covered up, Nikki's is impossible to cover cause of how dark it is.
@@RedRoseKing13 hers looked like she added a fb filter to it or something 😂
Honestly, I think Pon's tattoo pick was a *successful* sabotage, not a backfire. The other two guys talked him into that pin-up one HARD - he really didn't want it at all, and they basically backed him into a corner with it. (Pon was never popular in that season anyway, among either the girls or the guys, so I can imagine the two guys doing that to try and bump him out.)
I remember that! He wasn’t likeable to watch that season
Huh?
And then they gaslight him to say he should have said he didn't want it and tjat it was a team decision lol
He was clearly the token misogynist character for the season since it was men vs. women but it's hard not to feel at least a little bad during this episode lol
@@herefortheshrimp1469 I don't think I would have gotten this without context, as this is my very first clip of watching this as an illustrator. It was incredibly hard to watch the lack of solid boundary truly backfiring him, the pin-up was precious and just too hard to tackle.
The only bet would have been if he was better at convincing her to do a closer portrait, leaving the pinup as a separate illustration for a different occasion. You don't remember grandparents for their figure but for their face and expression.
"I dislike that Kraken immensely" has gotta be the best line of the episode for the delivery alone.
Having sabotages in general has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's literally hoping and trying to make that artist give that client a bad tattoo. Laser removal is not cheap even if the tattoo is free. You're not just fucking over the artist, you're fucking over the client too.
So, Army veteran here.
I really appreciate Dani's work on the soldier portrait. Inking somebody you lost in combat is a very visceral thing, and oftentimes the emotional pain mixes with the tattoo pain in the mind of the person grieving. So, for a civilian who doesn't have that unique understanding of military life, Dani **really** nailed it. Kudos to her.
Welcome home, bud.
@@karltee7862 Thank you, but I did my hitch WAY before 9/11... during the Cold War when Germany was still two countries. However, I live near a major Army base and I see a lot of younger people with that '1000 meter stare' on their faces. So when somebody gives them the respect they're due, I like to say thank you.
Just another reason why Dani is a great tattoo artist. She's one of my favorites to appear on this show.
the US military is a make-work program for undesirables
it's funny seeing human waste making a song and dance about it
She kind of gets it because she said that her boyfriend was in the military
The artists being rude to the clients their literally TATTOOING FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES is absolutely unbelievable.
Fr
You’re right that they shouldn’t be so rude, but at the same time these clients are getting free tattoos that would normally be at least a couple hundred dollars
@@athenamae2288 true but still, it’s a competition. They’re supposed to be good tattoos. You wouldn’t want a bad tattoo regardless of if it’s free.
They’re getting a free tattoo, if they’re that worried about it, go pay for one somewhere else.
And these are professional artists they’re usually not handing out terrible tattoos these tattoos would typically go for hundreds to thousands of dollars
"Why do you look 50 and you're 24" 😂😂😂😂
(14:35) He was so salty about his unsolicited advice not being followed...
He is their team coach and if I remember properly Kevin repeatedly ignored him
*Nikki, being safe over Kevin, was hilarious. Talking about the longevity look of a tattoo, but yet the portrait looks nothing like the photo.. I think I laughed for a good 2 minutes. Kevin's arrogance, was the deciding factor, for being sent home,obviously. Ryan was the best of those 3.*
💯 his could be rehit hers was straight garbage didn't even look like the photo they just wanted to keep some women in for shoe
@@gerardoalbay3080 I agree with you, sir
Facts
It was also an accuracy challenge apparently, but the judges always abandon the challenge in favor of tattoo technique
The last judge wanted him to go home the entire time you can see he was getting irritated with him cause he wanted to do his own thing (which if it looks good and the client liked it then he should be able to) and when he got the chance to vote him off he did it
"This tattoo is all about accuracy, so we're going to send home the most accurate person because they shitty tattoo that looks nothing like the picture will last longer." These judges are simply braindead, the more videos I watch the more I am convinced.
Nikkis tat looked like a lesbian woman and not a little boy
@Rose toe uhm, no lesbians don't look like that I think what you meant to say was that niki's tattoo looks like a 30 year old mom
@@applepie8308 there are some old butch lesbians who do look like that😭
@@sei7730 fr, Ellen for example.
Well one could argue they are looking for accuracy over time. If the tattoo fades, it becomes inaccurate
Dani and Jake's tattoos are absolutely breathtaking. I love both of them so much. I do agree that Dani's is SLIGHTLY better.
I watched this for the first time 6 months ago, didn't even realize I had commented on it and came here to make the exact same comment. Lolololol
11:00 are the judge’s blind!
The Eyes and other parts are Wonky as Phuck
Ryan was the only one that tried pointing it out.
While I do appreciate Sausage being able to talk the client down from putting a tattoo in a bad spot, he probably should've worded his reasoning better. He made sound like he didn't care what the customer wanted, and was more concerned about himself.
I haven't seen the whole episode, but it might be entirely possible that the show edited out a part of the conversation where Sausage told the canvas that moving the tattoo to a different part of the body with less elasticity will result in a better product for the client. But I do agree that starting out by saying you're worried about your place in the competition isn't the best approach.
@@imascene20 Yeah, because it gives the client the impression that you're not their priority.
@@imascene20 I think he could have worded it better either way, really. There was a clear bridge between 'this tattoo placement will be hard for me to win with' and 'this tattoo wont look good where you want it'. I don't think he needed to add more really, just word it better.
It wouldve been so easy. hes worried about going home because the Tattoo would be bad. He just needed to phrase it differently and the client wouldve been alot more on board
Yeah I immediately didn’t love that he tried to come in strong with “I have to make it look good for the judges or I’ll go home”. The client was right. That competition didn’t mean shit to him compared to a tattoo he has to live with forever.
You have tattoo artist here gloating about how they set some other artist up for failure. The problem there is that sabotage is going to be permanently inked on someone's skin. Anyone who's proud of making that happen does not have what it takes to be ink master. As soon as someone admits that's what they're trying to do they should be out the door.
I prefer tattoo fixers as I find that more interesting to watch.
@@nat3007 They can do cross promo and fix Ink Master tattoos 🤣
Yeah I’d love it if a show like this actually punished people for not caring about the customer/client. Like Hell’s Kitchen, people purposefully sending bad food to sabotage someone else. That’s not how a real kitchen goes, and you’re going to reward someone a chef job when they showed they don’t care about quality food? It’s just stupid that these things aren’t treated with the seriousness they should be. Especially in this where it’s permanent body tattoos.
Some of these artists are just setting other artists up for failure. And they’re screwing over the canvases.
The show gives artists this control so they can try to sabotage. Adds drama. So artists who try to sabotage would never be kicked off the show. Producers probably push for them to do it.
Season 4 : Black and Grey tattoos
Season 14: Animal Pin ups
The show became so unhinged and I'm here for it
I paused the vid to come say that When he called him a “slippery little wiener”… my soul left my body. I can’t breath 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know sausage was being honest, but in this kind of situation you have to take a step back and wonder what the client is feeling. Say something like: yes, I want to win, but more importantly, I want to give you something good that you are not going to regret later. I want to give you what's best for you since this is staying forever on your skin. Would you rather I do something I am unsure I can do it well. (Maybe even congratulate them on their weight loss journey, etc).
Empathy makes you do wonders with difficult clients.
They didn't show it but I'm pretty sure that exactly how he convinced the canvas to switch. Because he's right!
Exactly. He could've opened better, but it seems like they probably came to an agreement on a good note.
Bed side manner is key and he just didn't have any there. If he would have just said "Hey dude, if I do it on your stomach, your lose skin will make the picture sag and won't hold shape. I wanna give you something that you'll love, and you're not gonna love it if I give you what you're asking for"
@@mrscatlady912 it's edited
@@mrscatlady912 considering he got the guy to change to a chest piece I think you like many others got suckered by the editing. But yeah he definitely didn't word it right at the start
As a tattoo artist, I refuse to ever tattoo a portrait. Never, ever.......I couldn't sleep being responsible for someone showing off their loved one to a friend or family member and them asking why their tattoo looks nothing like their child.

Facts 😂
Tbh even the best tattoo portraits don’t look very good to me. I don’t think it’s a subject matter suited for the medium. But I’m sure it’s profitable because they are ubiquitous.
@@David_Creyke right.
The way they talked about the first client’s skin was absolutely disgusting. Like I get it, you’re in a competition and you need to play dirty sometimes, but I think it’s important to not forget that these are people we’re doing permanent tattoos on (I know they signed up to be in the competition, but I severely doubt they signed up for being shamed for their body). All in all, it’s a good thing Sausage talked him out of the stomach tattoo, as I agree it would be an awful experience to have to tattoo there for the client and the artist, but some of the things these artists said were vile.
He was obese and got liposuction, that's why he got pissed when they asked him to stop sucking his stomach in. Then you see he has tons of shitty Satanic tats already, hilarious. 😂😂😂
2:16 “how dare he say he doesn’t care about me being in a competition and wants at bare minimum a good tattoo since it’s permanent”
Pon was really hard to watch honestly. Yes I get its a challenge and you're frustrated but cmon you CAN'T blame the lady for NOT wanting a pin up style picture of her own grandmother on her body
I mean, when you apply for the show they ask you to check all the boxes of tattoos you're willing to show up and get. They have complete control of the style/subject(s) they're open to, so I have little to no sympathy for them. Especially when they say they'll take anything (most of them check that box as well)
I could see her not wanting it to be a pin-up that is over-sexualized but that was already the look The Woman had so portraying that in a photo I would not seem to be inappropriate
💀 The funny part is he choose that canvas.
This is really just a compilation of artist being good communicators and talking the canvases out of the thing that they would have struggled with.
Kevin: "if I would've known everyone else was doing black and gray I wouldve done that too"
Also Kevin before starting the tattoo "yeah I'm the only one doing color" lol
this show drives me fucking insane cuz the entire time i can only feel bad for the people that are the canvases
He got so mad about the sucking your stomach in comment but so many people are ignorant about what extreme weight loss looks like and how a stomach looks after a tuck. He should give them a break and educate them.
To be fair the guy was pretty awful, i dont really feel too sorry for him 😅
Hard to feel bad when the guy is a total jack ass
He didn’t even have a tuck, he just lost weight
I wouldn't be putting a permanent tattoo on flabby ass loose skin lol sorry but that dude was an idiot ass🤣
@@soulwinner247 actually he did, you can tell by the stretch marks being pulled down by the suture stitching and the navel is latitudinally oval with sharp edges (navel relocation), characteristics of a subpar abdominoplasty
Angel absolutely nailed her tattoo for never having done bio-mech or neon lights before. definitely earned tattoo of the day she got
I’m my opinion, the guy Sausage had was being kind of unfair. Yes it is going to be on your body, however he could’ve gone to a regular shop and paid for that tattoo. But instead he decide to go to a COMPETITION. Not saying the artist can do whatever the f they want but both the canvas as well as the artist have to enter this show with a different mindset and attitude since it is a show and more is at risk. Buddy didn’t have to go to ink master to get his tattoo, but he did anyways with no regard to the competition lmao
I know, I feel the same way.
He just wanted a free tattoo.
Illegals love free shit
I love watching the videos on this channel! They strike the perfect balance between being informative and entertaining.
I always felt that in trying to screw over the competitors they really are screwing over the the canvas. No tattoo artist should ever do that.
Exactly, where are their ethics
Literally in the same span of time the same dude admitted to screwing him over, told him it was because he was such a skilled artist, mocked him because he was mad he got such a bad canvas even though he gave him a “bad” canvas on purpose and then said he’s a bad sport and should go home. This dude is a roller coaster ride.
Dude is an asshole and is covered in Shit tattoos
Why do people get mad when someone is upset about a permanent marking on their body wanting to look the way they do. It’s their body.
Sausage’s shading is amazing!! Gorgeous tattoo!!
I feel like they just voted off Kevin because they didn't like his personality, not because he had the worst tattoo
Foreal cause it’s not adding up
They were upset because he didn’t “follow direction” but in reality it’s all about your customer instead of what the judges want
His tattoo will disappear in a year or 2. That is what the judges took into account, which you are not. Also, that kid's eye was sliding off his cheek.
It just doesn't look good thi
I mean, imagine someone goes to Kevin's shop, pays a lot for a tattoo, and it's just gone after 1 year...
Imagine trying to screw someone over to get them end up with the worst tattoo but then you end up having the shitty tattoo of the day and the person you tried to screw over gets the best tattoo.
And then you're the one who goes home lol
Pon was fed to the wolves by his strategy friends. It shows even to a blind man that it is a dog eat dog competition and no matter what you will always get pulled up for your flaws. Also pon jacked that tattoo bad
Bro my respects for sausage that man does not give up no matter the obstacles and he’s very talented
