'Ink Master: Turf War': Fans call Kelly's realism tattoo a 'fart cloud on a lady's face', will he get booted?
Paramount's 'Ink Master: Turf War' is nearing completion. The show began with 20 contestants and now, there are just five — Kelly Severtson, Bob Jones, Jimmy Snaz, Jerrel Larkins and Angel Rose — competing for the $100,000 prize, a feature in the Ink Magazine and the coveted title of Ink Master.
In tonight's episode (April 14), two designers will be shown the doors. And like every time, there's an interesting twist to the elimination challenge. The style and subject of each designer will be discussed and chosen by the remaining four artists. This was interesting because it gave every designer an opportunity to push their competition off the edge by assigning a tough design.
The worst-hit was Kelly. He was tasked with black and grey realism galaxy girl face morph. Black and grey have always been Kelly's weakness and so has linework. The designers picked the exact spot where it would hurt Kelly the most and maybe it will. "Galaxies are shapeless forms of color, so imagining a shapeless form of color in black and grey, that's like a black and grey rainbow," he said in his green-room interview.
Meanwhile, fans aren't liking how the designers have managed to corner him with the challenge.
"The assignment given to Kelly was by far the nastiest. A black and gray galaxy? That sounds like a nightmare," a viewer wrote, while another shared: "A black and grey galaxy?? Now that is just petty, that has to go on somebody's body."
"To me, it looked like some sort of mushroom growth coming out of her head. I feel bad for Kelly... because I think very few people would have been able to pull that one off," another fan pointed out.
"You can really tell who they think their toughest competition is... they're really trying to knock kelly out with a BLACK & GREY GALAXY???!?," a user posted, while another commented: "Looks like a fart cloud on a ladies face."
"Poor Kelly he got a massive challenge omg and that poor canvas has to have that black and grey galaxy blob," a fan pointed out.
Will Kelly be one of the designers to be eliminated, given how the fans have reacted to the challenge and his tattoo? Time will tell.
