Ink Master season 9 review

Who won Ink Master season 9? The finale promised to have a lot of drama, especially when you’re thinking about the way in which the show tends to operate in the live format. They let America choose who they want to see make it to the finale based on the live tattoo challenge, whereas the judges choose […]

After watching Ink Master season 9 episode 14, we feel like there are going to be many people out there with some harsh opinions. Did the judges make the right move? Did they make the only move that they could? Did Golden Skull Tattoo get screwed over? Everyone will have their own assessment of this. What we at CarterMatt do know […]

In this Ink Master season 9 episode 13 review we want to talk about what this episode excelled at (which is a number of different things), but what we appreciated about it more than anything was how it managed to pull off having three different challenges in the span of a single hour — and it […]

There are few things more confusing than the way that the Ink Master judging panel often fluctuates through the rules. Let’s dive into that through the lens of this week’s episode, which was a two-part armpit tattoo challenge where artists had to not only come up with concepts for the challenge, but then also mimic another artist’s […]

When Ink Master season 9 episode 11 first was shown in some of the previews, we heard that a good team was going to go home. The judges weren’t kidding, as by the end of the episode we lost one of the strongest remaining newbie teams — and the first member of the dominant alliance to go […]

It really didn’t take all that long on Ink Master season 9 episode 10 for the last duo of the season (Cleen Rock One and Aaron Is) to come into the picture and take ownership- of the competition. One episode in, and they already have a victory under their belt! Not only that, but it was for […]

Ink Master season 9 episode 8 is in many ways one of a kind, given that the elimination was both completely expected and then also a total surprise. Based on the way that the episode was put together, it felt fairly clear that Black Spade Tattoo was in big trouble. King Ruck and E.S. were having […]

We wouldn’t say that Ink Master season 9 episode 7 was a banner hour for the show. Instead, what we had instead was a further reminder that the team dynamic of this Shop Wars season is something that many artists just weren’t all that prepared for. How could they be? The latest victim of the team twist came via […]

Dear Ink Master fans, we come here tonight not to bury Made Rich and Think Before You Ink, but to praise them for the entertainment gold that they brought to the show. Were they good tattoo artists this season? Not really, but they more than made up for it with insane conflict, incredible over-confidence, and somehow thinking […]

On Ink Master season 9 episode 4, we saw the arrival of Picasso Dular and Lalo from House of Monkey in Brooklyn. Yet, you may barely remember that thanks to everything else that happened in this episode! This was a crazy hour of TV, even if the end of it was something that you saw coming a […]
