I'm only half-kidding. The show is supposed to showcase some of the best tattoo artists in the States, but they all SUCK (under pressure, at least) or have a style so specific that they're practically branding people whenever they do one.
But the mentality isn't for me. They have people come on the show and describe their tattoo concept, the artist will put together a design overnight and the client will LOVE it right off, but then they show the design during the judging portion of the show and it's fucking terrible. It blows my mind—I don't think I could ever love anyone else's good designs that much, let alone be content with putting one on my body forever after looking at it for a few minutes.
And when the artist is legitimately good, you're essentially becoming their living canvas, and I'm not exactly comfortable with that either.
