Jesse calling Black and Gray Portraits was THE highlight of the series. That's what the show is all about. Big props to him!

Almost cried when the client quietened with respect when the artist mentioned his own disastrous tattoo - kinda showed me how I might better de-escalate rather than fuel conflict. Thank you guys x

100% respect for Jesse for practicing & improving his skills, so many people when they get critiques, goes in one ear & out the other, he actually listened & improved himself

For the life of me I cannot understand WHY, WHY get a tattoo of a politician LOL

That was so awesome of bubba not to get mad like the canvas was and than to hug him, was......... WOW 😁 he killed that tattoo!!!

“I love being naked. I’m comfortable in my body”
Dave: “I understand”

The change in his body language when he said he has a portrait of his daughter...

Wrestler guy with other junk tattoos says he's never left a shop unhappy before...and then turns down the dopest statue of liberty tattoo I've ever seen🤯

Watching Bubba come up and hug that guy was so cute and bro and the same time. 😍

I’m glad dude got the good portrait he wanted, but that realistic NYC style skull that bubba drew up, was so badass

No one gonna mention Sausage’s JFK?🤯

Bubba not getting upset with that angry canvas was amazing. A complete contrast to how the other contestants handle everyone around them. Artists grow and this is a great example of that, Im so glad James gave him a second chance. They were so hard on Bubba, like jesusss. But hopefully the artists around him know now how important it is to take a clients requests seriously. I notice how often they get blown off by the tattoo artists here because of the pressure. You must be flexible.

This teaches me that a lot of the tattooers in Ink Master are actually good or great artists and when they screw up is a combination of pressure/bad days/time limits etc.

Bubba's portrait tattoo is good, like REALLY good (and i loved that moment)!

CANNOT believe that someone is walking around with ronald regan on their body

That whole Bubba situation was not what I could ever expect to happen! Nice job!!!!

Am I the only one who thought the Obama portrait was off? Didn’t look good at all to me. The JFK portrait looked the best imo.

Bubba revealed that he knows how it feels to have a bad portrait of someone you love dearly, showing how bad he must feel to know he did that to someone else, and then they hugged it out. I found that interaction very lovely. The new portrait he did is amazing.

That forced perspective Jesus tattoo was completely jacked lol, he had Jesus's face looking like how Napoleon Dynamite drew that portrait of Trisha

I'd argue that the Phoenix isn't a Phoenix....  It's more like the Peacock version of a Phoenix.  I expected more brighter oranges, yellows.  Flames, Ashes.  None of that was put on to the tattoo.

The way that man asked angrily, but also quesioningly, for a "sugar skull based on new York City?" Right after a wierd argument got me howling at 3 AM!!! 😂🤣😂😭
