bellab1972 The concept of Ink Master is excellent if you like tattoos but there is nothing good about this show! The judges are imbeciles, absolute imbeciles! Nunez is so biased it's beyond annoying especially when he himself is not a good tattooist! In one season it was obvious he "liked" a female contestant who should have gone home many times but because of Nunez thinking with his little head, she stayed in the competition! Navarro has a few tattoos which doesn't make anyone an expert on tattooing so his opinions are worthless! Most viewers want to see tattoos but the majority of the show is based around drama and arguments which spoils the show! Every season there seems to be some really nasty women and rival male contestants which I don't find necessary! It's a tattoo competition, not a soap opera but the producers think we want to see drama, which spoils the show! The challenges prior to the actual tattooing are ridiculous! I couldn't care less if someone can weld, spray paint or carve when selecting a good tattooist because there is NO correlation or indication whether a person can tattoo and these stupid challenges! I really wish the producers would lift their game and get reliable talented judges, stop the stupid irrelevant challenges, concentrate on the actual tattoos and select people who have real talent instead of the hacks they have on the show now! Again, it's a great concept but it fails miserably with its terrible content!
D.R. Sadigur I love reality competition shows. I am also fascinated by the art tattooing, albeit thus far I am an abstainer. The first season was the best--huge egos but genuine talent. (My favorite did not win.) Since then the show has devolved to showcasing some of the nastiest, untalented people on TV. The number of bleeps per episode is irritating; the talent sub par. Is the industry so tapped out that this is the best it has to offer? I also wonder about the psychological stability of the human canvases, many of whom are left with truly ugly, permanent "artwork" on their bodies. In the latest episode, these canvases wanted a anatomically-correct human heart morphing into either a lion, clock or hand grenade. Really? Are they paid to do this or just guaranteed a cover-up on the series Tattoo Nightmares?
Chuck Mangione Every season I watch a few episodes because I do truly find the tattoos interesting, some are very cool. But that's where my interest ends.The contestants... ahem, "artists"... tattoo the theme of the day against the clock and their opponents and are judged by a cue card, an ass, and Chris Nunez, none of whom have ever been "ink masters" themselves, but all of whom are apparently qualified to cast judgment and determine an "ink master".What I dislike about this show:The women are almost always voted off in the early rounds. Tattooing against the clock as an element of drama. Everything about Oliver Peck. Dave Navarro always sounds like he's reading and never strays from the script. They often choose the worse tattoo by the favored contestant and send someone else with a better tattoo home. The contestant banter in the waiting room. They bring a loser on last seasons show back for a second chance instead of last seasons winner.
endura-1 The only reason I'm giving it a star is because of season 1, which was pretty decent. From then on the producers focused more on making a soap opera drama comparable to The Housewives of Miami than a tattoo competition. I can't stand the bit**ing and nasty contestants who came on this show to expose their awful characters rather than really tattoo. The worst season yet is the Fifth one. A bunch of mediocre 'tattoo artists' doing really poor tattoos and getting away with it. Perhaps better ones didn't want to participate in this weak show? I can see only a couple of OK artists: Erik and Josh, the rest is embarrassing themselves....And the judges...Where should I begin? First, they have little to say about the quality of tattoos and the critique panel in the end is a joke. I, as a laywoman, can say things like "This tattoo has some good tones", or "This one lacks depth"...The judges are boring and unfit for the job. Not to mention that Nuniez and Peckh are being accused of harassment by a female crew member. Nasty, nasty, nasty...yawn...There are better shows than this one. Master Ink can't even be compared to Epic Ink and Best Ink which truly are about ART and amazingly talented people. Master Ink is just a bad taste TV drama.
