On the last episode of Best Ink, the artists were challenged to create animal prints on white fuck me boots. Charlie won with her ocelot print and received the advantage of selecting her skin first. The Ink Challenge was to commemorate a skin’s pet and the pets were in the building. London got stuck with a pink fanatic but it was Jon who ended up winning the challenge. Nicky was sent home after failing to deliver once again and Alexis cried.


Y So Sad?

We open this episode with more of Alexis’ crying because Nicky was sent home. Do you think they were fucking or something because she is REALLY emotional when it comes to him and it is very strange. I get that people bond quickly but this is just too much. She interviews that even though he only worked for 3 years he will always have a job in her shop any day and that he is a great artist. Obviously she was fucking him because his work is the worst. I think they really did pick a bunch of amateurs for this competition and Roman and Kyle caught on and couldn’t fake it anymore. They probably knew the producers were aiming for London to win anyway…that’s the way it’s playing out.


Does London hate sleeves?

The artists walk into a recording studio for the next Flash Challenge and Alexis says she hopes they don’t have to write music. Charlie interviews that she really wants to win because then she can pay off her school loans and get a new car so that she doesn’t have to drive her husband to work at 4:30 every morning. She says to the base and I wonder why she doesn’t have base housing which would make that situation a lot easier. The Flash Challenge is actually to create an album cover for Porcelain Black…except no one knows who she is hahahahaha! I think people got confused because she kind of looks like a more affordable version of the Sabina Kelly Sex Robot.


Seriously why is Porcelain so smug?
No one even knows who you are.

Porcelain says that her new album will be called Mannequin Factory and she wants to incorporate being a trainwreck, having fun, whips and chains and stripper couture. Charlie says her first thought is a high paid escort and Jon says that you can’t call what a stripper wears as couture. Each artist is provided with a blank album cover and record and given 90 minutes to decorate them according to Porcelain’s liking. The winner will receive 1 extra hour in the Ink Challenge as their advantage. Sabina hasn’t spoken two words yet…I think her voice box is either broken or she’s over this shit too.


I didn’t think she could get more annoying but she did.

London gets to work on a piece that looks like mannequins are thrown about. Jon thought that Porcelain’s red lips stood out so he focuses on that…on the actual record and not the album cover. Alexis took immediately to pink and black and throws in a bondage mask because it reminds her of whips and chains. When Jessica left she passed on her spirit to Charlie because she has emerged as Jessica Junior which is what she will be referred to from now on. Jessica Junior is sitting at her station humming circus music while throwing random things on the floor and talking to herself. London notes that Charlie was on their side when Jessica was being annoying but now she’s taken over that role. Alexis feels like Charlie is her competition but that she is the better artist and just needs to get over Charlie.

    I really liked Alexis’ piece, it was awesome. I was getting mad at Joe harping at Jon for doing MJ as a skull. That’s what his client wanted!! What was Jon supposed to do?
    I wouldn’t mind London winning, I like his work. Thank God Charlie finally is out of there, she was getting so annoying and if the words “I’m an artist” came out of her mouth I would swear that Jessica was possessing her. I guess with Jessica being there and with how annoying she was, I didn’t notice what a whiney crybaby Charlie actually is.

    asby – It can happen! :)

    featherhead – I noticed it but Jessica overshadowed her so much it wasn’t worth mentioning. I finally started calling her Charlie Brown when it got a little bad. She’s a decent artist but her personality I can’t stand. I’m just glad this amateur hour is almost over…even though I would totally recap a second season of this for shits and giggles.

    I really need to know who at Oxygen thought it would be a good idea to get Jermaine Jackson to judge. Jermaine, who was the most jealous of Michael out of all the siblings. Jermaine, who talked shit about Michael at every single chance he could get. And that’s the one they picked. And you could tell that Jermaine didn’t give a shit about Michael, because every image or song referenced in the tattoos was conveniently his favorite. When everything is your favorite, that means you don’t really like anything.
    And when Kimberly was introducing him, I was dyinggg because she was going on about his Grammys and his being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but she didn’t mention that it the Jackson 5 who got those things, NOT Jermaine. And it was Michael who carried them there. And Michael also got Grammys and a spot in the R&R Hall of Fame on his own, while Jermaine got bupkis but the laughter of millions for his solo efforts. Ahahahahahaha Jermaine’s soul burns everyday because of Michael, and my soul sits beside the flames roasting marshmallows and warming itself.

    About the tattoos, I liked London’s. A little too colorful and the microphone was wack, but I thought it looked good. And since the girl asked for a skeleton Michael but not for a specific song reference, I wonder why John didn’t compromise with a Thriller theme. That would have been easier to defend to the judges as well. Charlie’s was terrible and she’s annoying. I also wish she would tattoo with a little more…impact. She tends towards softness and that’s all well and good, but she should learn to get some boldness in there.

    Jessica, tell the truth and shame the devil girl. It’s more embarrassing to lie about being awesome than it is to just admit that you suck and no one wants your art on their bodies.

    Haha, I looked up some “Porcelain Black” music, talk about AWFUL…like an Auto-tuned blow-up doll badly impersonating Britney Spears over generic mid-90s synth. Stripper couture? LOL.

    And I can’t stay interested in this show for an entire episode, it really is a bad “Ink Master” ripoff.

    Man…I thought the MJ skull kicked so much ass. It was great! I don’t see what the big deal was…..I’ve seen tattoos of skull kittens! Skull bowties! Skull fish, skull patsy cline…and all kinds of other shit that doesn’t make sense but skull MJ is somehow off limits …..even though he was a freaking zombie in Thriller nearly 30 years ago. Ooooohkay
    The more I look at Londons tatt, The more it looks like Elvis.
    Charlie’s was just bad and I’m glad she’s gone
    Oh yeah….totally looked up Porcelin Black too..what a joke she is. I lived in Detroit and I never heard of her
