Fatty Baby says she is there to prove that there are good females out there and is tired of them being misrepresented. Then why are you wearing clothing too tight and short for your fat frame with your tits sticking out? TJ used to be in the military and then did a lot of comic book art and Busta learned to tattoo in prison which helped shape his life. Jesse is by far my favorite with the way he bends and skews things and his coloring choices. Steve says that he loves gore and black and grey while Sebastian is a ninja that can do every style well. Ron does a lot of new school (duh, there’s always one in the group), Mark is an MMA fighter who specializes in black and grey and Japanese, and Mike likes bright colors and sculpted lines. Chris asks Oliver how many of them regret doing huge pieces knowing there isn’t much time and comments on quality over size again.

The judges really like Jesse and comment that he seems to know what he is doing and Oliver also picks Sebastian as being in the top for him. They agree on Jesse as the winner which gives him the advantage of picking his client first in the Elimination Challenge AND picking the clients for everyone else. Everyone is dismissed to move into their loft/work space and Crybaby Clint complains that everyone is acting like they are at summer camp. I do agree with his observation of Cee Jay rollerskating as being pretty stupid but then he really hits douchebag levels by announcing to everyone that he doesn’t want to be buddies and that if they aren’t on his level they will have issues. Dude you have a mohawk and you’re not under the age of 12, get over yourself. The artists then get to see their work spaces for the Elimination Challenge which is the same as last year. The colored individual rooms with a large center open area for design concepts.

Aw am I the only one who thought Shane deserved to win last season? I guess I am.
Yay for the Beav! I missed that little guy and his toothpicks. And thank god for Chris Nunez amiright??? He’s so gorg I sometimes forget to actually listen when he talks…
Oh, yeah, the tattoos were fine. Nothing really stood out to me tbh, and I don’t really have a fave yet. I thought the girl deserved to go because I seriously cannot believe she misspelled that tattoo, but I really don’t like Kay.
@VGirl, no no no. You were/are not alone with thinking Shane deserved to win. I was disappointed.
Ink Master Masters maybe? That would be so cool.
I got seriously hooked on last season and geeked out when the season 2 started and gave us two episodes! I think Shane and Tommy were the best two last season and although I wished Tommy won, Shane was fantatic. I LOVE how Chris and Oliver are so not sugar coating their opinions. The egos in the room are so high it’s like they deliberately aim to knock them down a few peggs from the start. And in general nobody ever gets a “great” without some form of critique.
Mike’s snake and dagger looks amateurish to me. I really wonder how they cast this show. They are claiming the *best* tattoo artists in the business…uh, no. Not even close. I didn’t understand why Cee Jay didn’t take one minute to wipe the ink off of her face. And I find misspellings on tattoos pretty funny! *facepalm* But I’m a bit of a spelling/grammar geek.
Nope, not the only one – I could have easily lived with Tommy winning (and can’t wait for his new show!) – but Hubby Butterfly and I were totally Team Shane!
SO glad Cee Jay left, and my guess is that she didn’t have time to clean up her face – or they (the producers) wouldn’t let her leave the room to do so. Either way, made for a good 10 minutes of Hubby Butterfly and I mocking her. TEE HEE HEE!
SO GLAD INK MASTERS IS BACK! (Great recap, btw!)
… People actually liked Shane?
Clint is the biggest beyotch, he belongs in the “Bad Girls Club”
I also can’t wait for Tommy’s new show!
YAYYY Ink Master is back!!! I’d have to say (for now) Ron is my favorite. I’m not totally into his kind of style (new school / cartoony) but his gallery on spike.com has some awesome work and color, especially his portraits.
…Tommy is getting a show? Like…one about him, where his face will be in the camera the whole time?
Oh yess dreams do come true.
I’m so excited Ink Masters is back, and I’m happy that you’re recapping it again, SG.
I missed my little Oliver’s flowing locks and Chris’s bitchy opinions. I even missed Dave.
lol, remember Best Ink? Ahahahahahah omgg. Cee Jay would win Best Ink LOL.
Speaking of which, the gratuitous shots of CJ (I will indulge her bullshit no longer) standing there with black ink splattered all over her face brought me to tears. Every time I would start to be calm, the camera would swing back to her and I’d start up hollering all over again. I wonder if the cameramen were laughing too. She’s so dumb. I’m pretty sure you do not open a pan of ink that way.
And who the fuck spells Corinthians like Cortnthians? Who does that?! And when she was tattooing it, didn’t she notice? I hope the canvas got that thing fixed someway, somehow.
Kay Kutta is so annoying. He and Clint need to be locked in a barrel with some rabid wolverines and sent over Niagara Falls.
And I also was creeped out by Sarah. The way she was talking and the look in her face when she was screaming into the camera about BEING THE BEST freaked me out. It’s a shame that she’s not a horrible tattooer, because she might actually be around for a little bit.
I voted for Sebastian as my favorite tattoo this week. Steve’s was really good and was more creative, so it deserved to win, but I just love the color and cleanliness of Sebastian’s. Like, that’s the kind of tattoo that would make me surreptitiously follow someone just to get a better look at. And I just like Sebastian as a person…he seems like he knows how to tattoo, and I like his quiet confidence.
I’m really fond of Jesse too. And I like Jamie’s face.
It’s pretty cool that they let you vote on the tattoos now. I wonder if this is something they were planning anyway, or if it’s because so many people were upset that Tommy got robbed last year.
But do the votes affect the show at all, or is it just for fun?
Tommy is part of a show airing after Ink Master about cover-ups I think? But good god yes more Tommy is welcomed. Jamie too until he death stared into the camera during the morgue challenge. Freaked me out.
Best Ink…if it comes back depending on my schedule I would consider it but omg what a mess. I was so glad when it ended. Ill post more Oliver this week!
Yay! Finally Ink Masters is back!
I liked Steve’s winning tattoo, but his hair drives me crazy. Is it a bad toupee? Bad haircut? I don’t know but I can’t stand it.
And yes, Sarah is really creepy. She’s like super intense in her talking heads, and it’s like “dude, chill. you made it. you’re on the tv show, so calm down!”
Hi folks!
Could somebody please tell me what’s the name of the song in the background when Cee Jay spills ink in her face?
Can’t get it out of my head!
Thanks!
