I’m not big on reality TV shows, but this one episode would have hooked me. Ink Masters is a Celebrity Apprentice type format pitting 16 tattoo artists against each other for a chance to win $100,000. This last episode was “Skulls and Villains” in which the artists had to tattoo comic villains on live subjects. Guest judge was Batman artist Greg Capullo.

Ink Master needs to make some changes. Get rid of the dishonest editing. Stop stoking and highlighting conflict. Best Ink is a better competition because it’s more authentic and humane. But Tattoo Nightmares is my favorite. Tommy and Jasmine are killer talents and the show is uplifting.
