'Ink Master: Turf War': Jason's 4-boobed rooster head fairy tattoo gets judges' praise but viewers troll it
In this week's episode of 'Ink Master: Turf War,' Jason Elliott of South got saved in the elimination round by the skin of his teeth thanks to his other-worldly 4-boobed, rooster head, fairy tattoo.
Jason has easily been one of the most talked-about contestants of the season and for no good reason. His tendency to create drama and make jokes have worked on the last of nerves. But, he's good at his job. He is a tattoo artist and is always up for a challenge. Today, when he was tasked to create an American traditional tattoo with a fairy as a subject, he was flummoxed at first but ended up acing the round.
The judges, Dave Navarro, Chris Nunez and Oliver Peck, thought the out-thereness of the tattoo made it stand out and won him a safe space in his team yet again. The linework, solid colors and ability to stay true to the style were praised unanimously.
Overall, the episode was an entertaining one with artists busying themselves in consecutive challenges. It began with a team collaboration tattoo and the test here was how well all creative minds could come together and agree on one design that would help them move ahead in the competition. Mid-West won it fair and square. Next up, was the team tag challenge, where tattoo artists (from the same team) would be switched every hour and the final art would be judged on cohesiveness. It was quite a feat to achieve.
Meanwhile, fans have been trolling Jason's tattoo that managed to impress the judges.
"I hope that girl is happy with that Rooster head, six titty, hoove feet fairy tattoo. I'd be pissed. #inkmaster," a user expressed, while another posted: "She's going to have to wear pants for the rest of her days. She Will never wear shorts again. And that's on #InkMaster."
"Jason is coming off like a true virgin right now. He got excited about Team East's snake woman tattoo, so he had to put four titties in his tattoo. Who does that? 'I'll see your pair of boobs, and raise you an extra pair.' What a dork. #InkMaster #TattoosDay," a fan shared online.
"Jason’s tattoo is the worst tattoo I have ever seen. And not in a cool unique way. In a 'stupid as fuck, I can’t believe you did that to someone’s body' way. #InkMaster," user tweeted.
In other news, Patrick Flynn was eliminated from the show today. He blamed the skin as a reason for his exit.
