“Best Ink” is back for its third season, and by and large, very little has been changed about the way Oxygen’s tattoo competition works. You have artists (though this time more of them in 14) competing for a title after going through various challenges that test their ability. It’s not just about artistry, but also […]
On Wednesday night at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time, Oxygen will be bringing back a personal favorite to the air in “Best Ink.” What better way to sit down and relax after a long day of holiday shopping / work / anything else that’s happening in December? The first thing we have to say here is […]
On Wednesday night’s “Best Ink” finale, we had quite a variety of challenges: There were tattoos, celebrities, tons of praise heaped on the finalists, and some beautiful art. If you were going to pick a final three, it’s pretty hard to say that there was a better one than Teresa Sharpe, DJ Tambe, and Jerod […]
We have a pair of stories to celebrate here when it comes to Oxygen’s “Best Ink,” but let’s start things off with the breaking news: There are going to be many more tattoo competitions moving forward. The network announced this week that not only is the series returning for a third season premiering this winter, […]
In just one week, “Best Ink” is going to come to a close on Oxygen, and leading into it, we could really call Wednesday night’s episode “a tale of two pairs.” You have DJ Tambe and Teresa Sharpe, who have basically been tattoo machines all season long, and then you have Alli Baker and Jerod […]
We are getting very close to the end of “Best Ink” season 2, and on Wednesday night’s new episode (airing at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time on Oxygen), the four contestants remaining in the competition are going to be taking on a very different sort of client than what they have already seen throughout the season. […]
Last week in our “Best Ink” review, we questioned whether or not there was any way that DJ Tambe or Teresa Sharpe were going to be done in by a theme that leaves many a tattoo artist shaking in their boots: photo-realism. Every tattoo superhero has their kryptonite, and for some with more of a […]
To the credit of “Best Ink,” the show has done a pretty exemplary job this season when it comes to finding pretty new and creative ways to come up with Flash Challenges. Are they not always relevant to tattooing? No, but there are worse ways to fill up a show than having artists roast each other, come […]
We don’t quite know if there has been a reality competition since season 6 of “Top Chef” where the final two have seemed as obvious as with “Best Ink” this year. Are there a number of great artists left? Sure. If we were a tattoo guy, (which we are not) we’d probably trust everyone left […]
Last week’s “Best Ink” can be best described in one word: Frustrating. We’re still dumbfounded by the move to send Tylor home despite only being in the bottom three once, and for not really following the directions of the challenge to a T in an effort to satisfy his client, even to the point of […]
