Does anyone have a picture of the retarded horse from this season of Ink Master? The artist got sent home for it, thank God. I'm not a tattoo expert-- most of the time I think the things they come up with on that show are pretty decent, at least to the untrained eye-- but that horse was a mess, I couldn't stop laughing at it.

As an aside, does anyone know what happens if someone gets an exceptionally lovely tattoo on that show? Do they try to fix it for them afterwards, or are the volunteers just stuck with a lovely tattoo? In my opinion you'd have to be crazy to volunteer for a free tattoo on a competition show; if you're putting something permanent on my skin, I want it to be under optimal conditions. I just got my first tattoo and the idea of throwing myself into a situation where there's a time limit, I don't know my artist's work, and other artists are going to try to gently caress each other over is kind of scary. It could turn out ok, but you could also end up with the hula girl from a few pages back or a retarded horse.

That ain't a goddamn dreamcatcher. It has a big gently caress-off cut gem on it and a fleur-de-lis. And even if it didn't, with the shape there's no way it could even be a section of a dreamcatcher.

It looks more like a generic old-fashioned decoration and is pretty okay. Not sure why you're so mad about it.

Would I be wrong to tell my friend that the artist didn't do a "great job" or am I wrong and it is a good job? Is there a good way to say it or should I just keep it to myself? It's not the worst ever but to me it looks like a lovely bruise surrounded by lopsided wings and letters that are falling apart,

I don't know how you get scratcher quality at an actual shop (I didn't check it out to see if it was or just what some jackass at home calls himself)

In any case, can you at least edit it to a link instead of posting it inline? Hidden images still load, I think, and I'd rather that not be loading on my machine here at the office.

There's just something... off about this one.

Why on earth would he possibly want to be a tattoo ARTIST? I mean the clue is in the name.

i can understand people who can't draw, but think they can, wanting to immortalise their "art" on other people in ink, but if you know you can't draw, what possible hope do you have to be competent in a profession which is, (to grossly simplify it), drawing under other peoples skin.

Place as in shop? Because these look like they were done with a broken pen in someone's kitchen during a power outage.

The cat's face is a little uneven in the original too (mostly with how the nose is a bit pushed to the right and the right bulges out more, also while I don't think the eyes are uneven the shadows on the left make it look asymmetrical), although it's clearly the better tattoo. I guess the customer probably wanted it based on a drawing where the cat's face shape was asymmetrical but it bothers me because it would have looked better imo. Oh well, not my skin.

That's gonna be a Sweet blob in a few years! Anyone seen any pictures of watercolor tattoos after a few years? I've been wondering how those age.
