Afternoon,
Guys…
So,
yesterday when we were at The Shop, we were talking about watching Ink Masters. Now, we know it’s a show and a competition. We also know being that it’s a competition
show, the contestants are pushed to their limits to perform and the show’s
edited to maximize ratings. Given that,
a level of forgiveness needs to be dealt to the way they’re portrayed.
However,
like I said at the end of Judge,
what comes out of the mouth is what’s in the heart…meaning, even though the
show’s edited for ratings, what the artists say STILL comes out of their mouths…and,
they have to own it for better or worse.
To some extent, how we see them is how they really are.
Yes, they do
beautiful work. They wouldn’t be on the
show if they were hacks. BUT, the way
the represent themselves on the show, doesn’t make me want to A.) want to throw
money at them for a beautiful piece, and B.) be on the business end of the
machine in their hand. Judgmental, OK, ya
got me…BUT, IT’S MY SKIN, I’m kinda attached to it.
I love our
guys, we joke while I’m getting’ inked a lot.
I’m also not above checkin’ out new artists after I’ve cased them. BUT, first impressions stick…it’s VERY HARD
to sway someone from that. Hopefully, they’re
professional in their shops away from the cameras…but, first impressions.
Just a life
lesson from Two Feet Below.
Be good too
each other.
