Ink Master: Grudge Match

I've seen better acting in a kindergarten play. It is mind numbingly bad. Horrid. I feel dumber for watching it.

I record then fast forward to the actual tattoos. Love the art and creativity. Judging (?) is irrelevant. Get rid of Ryan Ashley. Write up says she is an actress !!!!!

I've watched every season of Ink Master. I know it's a scripted reality show, I know the drama is manufactured, I know the flash challenges can be ridiculous, I know the choices are arbitrary, I know good artists are kicked off for the benefit of dramatic artists, I know the "human canvas" jury doesn't matter, I know the judge's decisions aren't always based on art, but I was entertained by the art. Honestly, I preferred Best Ink with Joe Capobianco, even if it was derivative, if only because it shows what a reality competition could be like without the bs manufactured drama. This show is too much.

How is this guy getting do much attention. He never won the title. The money he won was because he's known the judges for years. The season 11 grudge was easily won by Christian. Creep crock one is not even a good artist. This is just bleeding what's a decent show to death. Angels was terrible too. But at least Kelly dody is a master artist

I have watched every season of Ink Master - some decisions (and aggressive artists) made me mad, but overall I enjoyed the art a lot. I also came to like Ryan Ashley (liked Ink Master Angels a lot, too), DJ Tambe and Cleen Rock One pretty much, therefore I enjoyed IM: Grudge Match very much. The premise of the show, however, which is obligatory for the competition and the suspense, I am aware of that, which lives from people fighting (having been hurt before and now struggling to best another artist who pretty much feels the same) is not that much enjoyable, even if I am not concerned, seeing people fight or slip/embarass themselves/fall etc. (in other words all reasons for Schadenfreude (or even hate) ) are no entertainment for me. Therefore one star less.
