‘Ink Master: Rivals’ season 5, episode 9 preview: Jason Clay Dunn falls victim to stress

“Ink Master” is definitely not a show for viewers that are faint of heart and if you are a contestant we can only imagine how much harder it is. You have long hours filming, long hours tattooing, judges criticizing you at every turn as well as a living situation where you are with all of your competitors (and this season your rivals) every minute of the day who are also stressed out. To say that this is a stressful situation is probably minimizing how insane this experience really is for these artists.

On next week’s all new episode of “Ink Master: Rivals” we will see the pressure of the competition start to get to Jason Clay Dunn, so much so that other artists actually ask if he’s okay. Jason has been through this competition once before, so he knows what it’s all about, but this season with the rivals being part of the theme we can see that the pressure bar would be a lot higher then it was in season 3.

Not only is the stress of the competition going to get to Jason, but he is going to be dealing with a difficult canvas (hopefully better then how Julia dealt with hers last week) and of course Joshua Hibbard will be getting under his skin as only Joshua knows how to do – after all he is the master instigator.
