hello everyone i hope you're having the greatest of days today welcome to the film insight channel
from bad tattoos to epic wins feuding with clients to fighting the judges Inkmaster has provided
viewers with some interesting artists over the years but among them all these are the absolute
favorite among fans so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys
clean rock one freaking out i've been through everything twice i'm not gonna let this slip
through my hands again i'm gonna win this thing we definitely had to include clean rock one on
the list this guy has been in the finale twice and is the only artist on the show to compete in three
different seasons he has been so close to winning that it's easy to see why fans wanted to see it
happen so bad rock is regarded as the greatest Inkmaster contestant who never won most fans love
that his tattoos are saturated with color he comes across as the most consistent artist to compete in
the show because he gave his 110 percent to every challenge and consistently strived to improve in
areas he struggled in fans loved him because he was the most adaptable tattoo artist on the show
he gained a reputation for always getting his tattoo right and he didn't lack experience or
anything at all plus he seems to be a chill guy overall so you can imagine how fans would
have been excited to see the winner of season 11 return to the competition as a judge on season 13
of Inkmaster grudge match rock has a reputation for his straight shooting tell it like it is
personality which made him the perfect choice for the season christian buckingham and rock returned
to settle the grudge match once and for all the battle concluded as the top three artists revealed
their 35 hour master canvas tattoos here's what fans thought of rock's work on grudge match finale
ema's 79 larger area covered equals more work done i personally liked christian's tattoo more as the
composition was more pleasing for the eye and it had a lot of perfect executed details that beast
done in less than 35 hours wouldn't have been nearly as good clean did an impressive job though
only James Vaughn's season 1 could have covered that much in 35 hours and as it was unique for
Inkmaster to have a piece all the way from chest to knee and the fact that was perfectly executed
as clean almost always done he did deserve the win in my honest opinion reddit user imos79
up next is another all-time favorite Kyle Dunbar
i never thought i'd be back but here i am and i just did a badass tattoo that's my redemption
when Kyle Dunbar appeared in his first season he immediately became a fan favorite because of his
talent he's a genuine person that was solely there to win the money and help his family something
that we can really get behind and relate to the thing that landed dunbar in the second spot of
most memorable inkmaster artists is his fight with chris nunes we can't remember ever seeing anything
like this on a reality show where a contestant was ready to punch a judge's daylights out
we understood carl's frustration with his tattoos getting picked on we were frustrated
just by watching it so it wasn't that surprising to see him finally get to his breaking point
do you know what happened in season 4 of inkmaster well if you missed out on it kyle blew up on nunes
fans were shocked at this reaction because they thought he was a decent fellow and maybe the
pressure just got to his head this feud got him into the spotlight and many fans supported him
because they loved his work so did it boil over towards the finale well the good news is that
things were all cool by the finale some fans speculated that the show didn't do a good job
of portraying the different sites and through the magic of editing showed kyle as the bad guy
here is what one reddit user raonix said yes i get you paranoid is the perfect word to describe
how he looked i'm happy to hear he wasn't hated it's important to remember it is an edited show
for entertainment i was just wondering if the show's fans were torn between disliking him
based on that or if most people at the time were just watching for the art i personally don't care
too much for the drama i just hoped carl wasn't frowned upon and it doesn't seem like he is at all
joshua hibbard i'm so passionate about my art because i feel like it defines
who i am i have a lot of expectations for my life and there's no way that i'm going to get
that by walking slowly he was really inkmaster's first villain although he has always been one of
our favorites joshua loved to stir the part and he did it better than anyone else and trust us
many others have tried the thing about joshua was that everyone wanted him out of the competition
and every week they tried to stick him with a rib piece but every week he talked that canvas
into moving it you can say that there's been no better tattoo salesman than joshua then there was
the big pot smoking controversy that allegedly gave him some kind of edge in tattooing better
leading him to getting disqualified during his second appearance on the show love him or hate
him it's impossible not to remember him here are some of the fans thoughts on joshua hibbert josh
is an uncrowded ink master you'd love to hate and his next time up people had respect for the guy
he is a rating catcher who can connect with early ink master fans and new the guy needs to get back
on the show i hated him in season three he was much better in season five though such a shame
he got himself taken out of the competition for violating his contract he could have easily made
it to the finals in season five blowing all of those other talentless clowns out of the water
here's a comment from reddit user kali leela i also tended to get annoyed by the way
contestants would [ __ ] about his not drawing and talking canvases into changing placement
when they gave him a rip tattoo he could draw but preferred not to as long as he delivered what the
canvas wanted i don't see a real problem there and they all tried to talk canvases out of rib
tats i think they were just pissed that he was more successful at getting the canvases
to see things his way especially when they viewed him as such a dick overall i wasn't a fan of the
way he went out the judges seemed pretty pissed about it too but i get that rules are rules i
think it bugged me mainly because i didn't feel like there was a lot of consistently strong tattoo
artists that season so it guaranteed weaker artists in the finale which annoyed me a bit
ryan ashley malarkey woman to win inkmaster but going into that competition my whole stance was to
surprise myself and impress myself and compete alongside these other amazing artists we wanted
a female winner on inkmaster ever since sarah miller got robbed of a win in the second season
of the show we saw some of the incredibly talented female artists go in and out of this competition
over the years we were getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of female winners
this is one of the reasons that ryan ashley's win in season 8 was so important to us and to
the franchise as a whole these artists famously allied during the season which clearly worked
it wasn't just about politics in the loft either between them these talented women won almost every
tattoo of the day other than two which nate beaver won ashley took four of them a brilliant and
well-rounded artist who deserved the prize here's what reddit user ponder hope says about ryan
say what you want about ryan's versatility but those jewelry pieces she does are easily the
most insane and realistic tattoos i have ever seen in my entire life the color detail and the shadows
literally make it look like actual jewelry on the person's skin another reddit user says i
love ryan's jewelry tattoos you're right they're incredible her brain must just process light
differently it's bananas it's exclusively the versatility point which prevents her from being
the best all-around in my opinion but she does her best style better than dj's which is why she won
the head-to-head in a clash with the coaches we're going to finish this off with the one and only
sausage walter sausage frank i'm from las vegas nevada and i've been tattooing for 13 years he is
so incredibly likable and on a show like inkmaster where there are some pretty hardcore personalities
someone like sausage was a treat to watch you wanted to root for him you wanted to see him
win and yes his tattoos were outstanding the thing that made him so memorable outside of his positive
personality was that his season was the first time we saw alliances come into play scott marshall
matty hixson and halo were working together to take sausage out and no matter how hard they tried
he kept producing outstanding works of art we always want to root for the underdog fans loved
sausage because he was not only an amazing artist but he was also so sweet many fans watched the
show just because he was on it some fans felt that the show should have chosen a winner based
on the artist's skills and not personality which was the reason why sausage lost fans felt that he
was clearly the best artist even after reaching the worst canvases time and time again here's
another comment from a reddit user i think sausage was the best artist of the two i honestly believe
scott marshall was a bully picking on sausage because he was afraid of his competition
matty latched on to avoid being bullied by scott and get further in the competition
that will be all for today's video here on the channel i do hope you enjoyed it and if you did be
