C.C. 5

In a recent episode of Ink Master, a tattoo competition air on Spike Tv, the contestants did a Star Wars themed tattoo that was supposed to show the skill of contrast. I am gonna tell you 1) who won and who lost and 2) why those people won and lost

The winner of this challenge was Tatu Baby with her Yoda head tattoo on the back and the loser, and consiquently the one who got sent home, was Kay Kutta with his Imperial Gaurd tattoo, also a back tattoo.

Now on both of these there are other people could've arguably won or lost is this one. In my opinion i think that Tatu Baby did deserve this win. The loser, however, I think should have been Mark Mathews with his Imperial Soldier head with a cog in the background. His tattoo could have had contrast easily put in and one of the contestants even suggested an idea that would have worked, but he decided to put black with purple. Not a great choice contrast wise if you ask me.

Tatu Baby won with her Yoda head, dubbed the "little green guy," because she used her colors to create great contrast and made the lines on the head really "pop," which is a good thing for a contrast challeng. Kay lost because the Guard was all red with a flat, dark background that, by no means, impressed the judges and he had been in the bottom of the group basicly since day one, so it was his time to go, at least that's what the judges thought.

I admit that the tattoo wasn't spectacular, but the worst one? I dont think so. As i said eariler, Kay's looked way better, in my humble opinion, than Mark's did. Plus Kay showed WAY more improvement in his tattoos than Mark did. Kay needed to work on his outlines, he improved them. Mark came in week after giving unfortunate "canvasis," as the people getting tattooed are refered to as in the show, dark, mediocer tattoos.

I could go on and on about why this person should have won or lost but there is a morale to get out of this story. Life isn't fair. You could be the absolute best at what you do. Second to none, and still have someone picked over you just because (insert excuse here.) At the end of the day you just got to take what you got and roll with it. If you don't like it, by all means, do whatever you can to change it to a more likable situation.
