Chris is an asshole. After his little speech about how he took out SM for himself (no shit, dude) did he really think he had the moral high ground? Tyler flipping off his canvas? Also an asshole. I actually liked Duffy's tattoo.

Most of them probably do have an official policy that says something of the sort. Doesn't mean they actually care, or that they can tell all the time. Not everyone is stupid enough to take so many painkillers that they fall out in front of people. Besides, a lot of the better artists I have known don't work in shops. They work on their own.

The way the judges slobbered over him makes me wonder about that. They seemed completely impressed in a way that I couldn't justify. If he stayed, I could see it coming down to him and Chris at the end.

My husband and I were talking about it the other night. She probably brought pills in and popped them in the bathroom before they started. From the way she looked, I don't think she had taken them too much in advance. I'm sure the canvasses are there for quite a while before they actually sit for the tattoo. They probably didn't know what she had done until it was too late. Maybe they need to keep a bettter eye on the on-air talent in the future. To be honest, it would not surprise me if many of the "good sitters" who appear as canvases were on something. It's something most tattoo artists are used to. Just most of them aren't stupid enough to OD in the process.

You take a bunch of drugs beforehand and take yourself to the edge of overdose. Probably benzos or some sort of opiate. I've known stupid people who did just that to deal with the pain or nerves before tattoos. Really stupid people.

Production does drive the drama and always has. Heather Sinn commented on that the first season. The screaming matches have been there since the start. Any contestant who claims it was his doing is just trying to build up his rep.

That's the bigger problem for me. Not only did he not follow the rules, making the challenge easier for him, but his tattoo was complete garbage even after making it easier on himself. There was really nothing redeeming about that tattoo, even if you don't consider the challenge.

You mean a complete and utter asshole? I agree, Dale is a complete and utter asshole. And I didn't think much of Kelly trying to make excuses for him, either. Didn't find that pair any more endearing than Missy and Baylor.

She's a woman, and there always needs to be something to bash a woman about on this show. Consider the demo of the channel this is on...
