I am so happy Josh Woods kicked serious ass last night on the critique tattoo.
I thought he kinda got robbed on the challange, I admired Shane Oneils piece for creativity but I thought Josh’s piece was a very good use of color, was painted better and looked like a tattoo!
However the good old traditional seperated the men from the boys!
I want to make a statement………if you are gong to be Ink Master you must be able to do this work.
Traditional is the basis of American Color tattooing, for more than 100 years this is the style done by some of the greatest names in American tattooing. Now with american tattooing, neo traditional and traditional many people are realizing just how good this shit looks from 20 feet and last? this stuff lasts forever. Simplicity does make a good point, it lasts and looks goood a LONG time.
I knew Joshs background and I knew he could knock this out of the park………..but I was suprised no one else could…………hang in there Jsoh can do alot more you havent seen!
Dave you are funny………..now dont get me wrong, I like Shane, Bili, Lea, Heather, James, Tommy, Al, Jeremey, even Al, dont know much about B Tat not sure where he hails from,
But yeah, Josh is the shit, I like him, real down to earth guy, a regular guy……..not the kind that usually get picked for a TV show!
I liked Shane’s tattoo alot but it was more of a neo-traditional style as were a few others. I was surprised to see Josh pull off something like that, I’m also a big fan of traditional style tattooing. I’m still going for Shane but I think Josh nailed it. I thought Vegas was better than what he showed, that other girl should be gone.
Josh is a fantastic artist and one I’d be proud to get inked by, but to be honest, he comes off as a bit of a crybaby. Any time he doesn’t win, he tells the judges they’re wrong, blames it on favoritism, etc. And he’s constantly complaining about Shane not being able to do color and meanwhile, Josh is no more well-balanced. Egos .. bleh.
I don’t personally love Tommy’s work, but hes definitely a skilled artist. I did see one back piece that he did in a mag that I thought was amazing. He’s got a shot, but Josh and Shane are the best artists there imho. I have no idea why Lea is really still there. The challenges she does well in seem to be the ones that aren’t actual tattooing. :/
