'Ink Master: Turf War': Tattoo artist Jason Elliott to come under fire again as he struggles to work in a team
'Ink Master: Turf War,' a reality tattoo competition series that airs on Paramount Network, already has the viewers' interest. And there's one tattoo artist in particular who is responsible for it — Jason Elliott. He is a returning artist who has managed to become a household name thanks to his rude comments and inability to work smoothly in a team. Even his interactions with fellow contestants have been tagged as impolite by fans.
In the preview, we hear one of the artists addressing Jason as some who is "full of sh*t." While Angel Rose, another artist, who has also been given a second shot at winning the title of an 'ink master,' tells him that she sees through him (Jason). Clearly, he's going to be the center of everyone's attention tonight.
Agreeing to popular opinion about him, Jason revealed that it was a challenge to work in tandem. "I hope they were able to convey the real struggles of building a team and show the obstacles we had to jump over to bring something together," he told Inkedmag.
Previously, Jason made fun of team Mid-West calling it mediocre and refused to go "yeehaw" when his other teammates were celebrating the spirit of their home state. Later, when the judges were blind-critiquing the tattoos, he had picked out the most discouraging words for another contestant who had inked a Lady Liberty tattoo. "You know what makes me really happy about this tattoo? That lets me know now that you are no competitor in this competition," he said.
What else can we expect? Of course, there's going to be more tattoos, more anxiousness and double the snarkiness in the coming episode. At one point, Jimmy Snaz even says that his team would need a miracle to stay in the game.
Well, we sure have a lot to look forward to tonight. Catch the episode on Paramount Network, 10/9 c.
