Ink Master Recap: Buck Off


On the last episode of Ink Master, Mark was finally given the boot after weeks of terrible pieces (though he did do a decent job the last two episodes). The judges finally got a taste of Exorcist Sarah and were equally as creeped as we all were watching it. Oh and Sarah, I like how you stole Oliver’s picture from Instagram and tried to joke with everyone even though you were secretly seething on the inside. But hey…they aren’t laughing at you if you are laughing with them, right?

The artists are all sitting in the loft after eliminations when Sarah again plays victim because all of the judges are so mean and harsh to her during critiques. They aren’t there to hold your fucking hand, it’s a competition where you signed up for your work to be dissected. Tacky, you know what, I’m really feeling her lately so I’ll call her by her actual name. Kat tells her that the issue is how she takes criticism and that she is too emotional but Sarah can’t hear her because she speaks over her in typical girl fashion and then says she takes what the judges tell her and applies it each week to the next piece. Kat interviews that Sarah is a know-it-all and too emotional. Jesse tries to calm her down and tells her that if she puts her all into the work then who cares what other people think as long as she knows that she did the best she could. Sarah then says that her break downs will make her work harder, she’ll bring it. Wash, Rinse, Dry, Repeat…We get it…

The artists walk into a bar where some hot girl is riding a mechanical bull for no apparent reason. This week’s challenge is to test balance which is incorporating multiple elements into a piece. Sarah really is a know-it-all because she’s the only one they ever use to “explain” things to the viewer. The challenge will be to burn a design into the chaps the models are wearing within a 2 hour time period. Clint’s girl wants a dragon so he starts making what he thinks is a bad ass dragon which is kind of ballsy since Chris Nunez specializes in Japanese tattoos. Jamie on the other hand does identical sugar skulls on both legs of the chaps while Steve goes for an underwater theme. Sarah again attacks Kat thinking that she is out to get her and because females always perceive other females as automatic competition. Kat doesn’t even feel like they are better or worse than each other but Sarah can’t get over her insecurities and vows to not let Kat win.

The judges look over the chaps and declare Jamie the winner because there was a solid balance with solid lines. Jamie decides that he will strategically fuck everyone that he can…doesn’t he do that in his brain now? That could explain his creeper eyes.

    Let’ s have a moment of silence for my bby Clint. </3

    Because seriously? The fuck I'm sooooo devastated! Sebastian is so skating by the skin of his teeth, I don't even know why the judges made this decision. I'm not going to say Clint was the most talented guy there but he was an amazing technical artist who has more or less been able to show he was good every week. Sebastian doesn't even have that. Sebastian and Mark are one and the same to me- they're probs good amongst their friends, but put against real talent they fail. Sebastian or Google Eyes better go home next week or I'm about done with this show.

    Boo, judges! Boo.

    Tonight’s episode is a perfect example of why I’d never want to get a tattoo on this show. Imagine getting stuck with a guy like Jesse who has one style they do and if you don’t want that style (or the challenge is directly asking for another style) then too fucking bad. He’s not the only one that’s done it, Sarah will fight tooth and nail to get you to change what you want to make her life easier, but for some reason it annoys me most when he does it. Probably because his one style is so narrow.

    Also it drives me nuts how combative everyone on this show is! Any critique at all, even from the judges on the show they voluntarily signed up for, and they throw massive hissy-fits. When they can’t let the judges finish talking, I just want to smack them and tell them to grow the fuck up. /rant

    Cap-cha: hot-blooded XD

    I was so sad Clint was sent home :(

    So sad…

    I also dislike how they show each contestant smirking when someone gets critiqued. It’s like they all have contempt for each other…I get it, your competing but can you not be friendly? I get they need a few assholes to make it interesting but the majority of contestants this season are assholes…what gives?

    Also…Clint :( whhhhyyyyyyy D’:

    @ Kay…..I think the “smirking” thing is just editing, I have a feeling they might be smirking, or making faces at something completley different and it’s edited to make it look like they are hatin’ on the other people.
    Like for example, Sarah will be seen up close making a face (what else is new) but immediatley afterwards in a longer camera shot, her face is different and her whole posture has changed. I dunno, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt here.

    Sad Clint is gone, he was really growing on me. But sadly, his dragon did look like a jumbled up bowl of Ramen noodles.

    The editing on this show is a farce. In one episode, they had contestants, who hadn’t been in the room during the rest of the scene, shown leaving the room.
