    Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
    Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
    Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
    Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    xchromosomosapian This is like watching angst-ridden teenagers of the 90's, that have aged and forgot to change their clothing style, try to make it in 2016. The hosts spend way too much time getting hair and makeup done. Dave's and Chris' ever-changing bangs and clipper designs on the side of their heads make even a 15 year old girl's hairstyle seem constant. The tattooers are dressed in Hot Topic clothing and are caricatures of the "cool kids" they associated with in high school or saw on some TV show aimed at teenagers. Spike TV found a way to make tattoos cookie-cutter by putting total tools on TV that would otherwise be playing dungeons and dragons and/or magic if they didn't decide to hang out at a tattoo shop. This show actually motivated me to have all of my tattoos removed. When tools and douches are getting tats, it makes me hate to have ink all the more. The only reason I began to watch this show was because of the soft spot I have in my heart for Janes Addiction. The show was cool at first but this season just made me nauseous. They couldn't have put a greater number of total douches in the same room if they had an open casting call for it. Even that girl that is sort of hot with the neck tattoos came off as a total douche nozzle. I went from wanting to bang her to developing a hatred for her as I struggled through the first episode. I'm moving on from this show.
    Chuck Mangione Every season I watch a few episodes because I do truly find the tattoos interesting, some are very cool. But that's where my interest ends.The contestants... ahem, "artists"... tattoo the theme of the day against the clock and their opponents and are judged by a cue card, an ass, and Chris Nunez, none of whom have ever been "ink masters" themselves, but all of whom are apparently qualified to cast judgment and determine an "ink master".What I dislike about this show:The women are almost always voted off in the early rounds. Tattooing against the clock as an element of drama. Everything about Oliver Peck. Dave Navarro always sounds like he's reading and never strays from the script. They often choose the worse tattoo by the favored contestant and send someone else with a better tattoo home. The contestant banter in the waiting room. They bring a loser on last seasons show back for a second chance instead of last seasons winner.
    mike-ryan455 The first season, I really liked this show. It was about a tattoo competition. Some of the ink was even good but even when it wasn't it was focused on the art.Unfortunately, things began to go down hill in the second season. One of the judges, Chris Nunez, became snarkier and snarkier. He seemed to be trying to humiliate and put down the contestants who didn't measure up rather than pull them up to do even better.Each season, there was a jerk added to the mix. They were someone who would try to "play the game strategically" to get ahead. It became very annoying to watch the petty politics and insults.The show completely jumped the shark when they announced in the fourth season finale that everyone on the show would have a rival, someone brought in to fight with. Great, pre-made arguing. What a joke! That was the death moment of the show. As soon as they announced that contestants are going to be chosen not on the basis of their art work but on the quality of their enemies I knew the show was dead.
    dobbysarmy7 Reasons why this show rocks! The flash challenges are relevant and creative, the work that comes out is actual art that I would love to own. Although it is getting a bit shaky usually at least half of the artist competing are actually good and deserve to be there. The best thing about this show is the judging. The judges are brutally honest. If all the work sucks, then they all suck and they say so. Instead of an even top two and bottom two sometimes its a bottom 3 and top 1 or all bottoms. I think this show would have deserved a ten if it wasn't for the new addition of the canvas jury. I think the time management was spot on for the first two seasons. They actually let you watch the tattooing and also see the end result and discussed with each contestant what was wrong or good with it. The canvas jury seems like its going to take time to hear opinions of people who don't really know what they are talking about or the errors they are looking for. Still a way better show then Best Ink.
