You know what.... TIME shows you either know how to get it done, and you do, or you don't... Oliver is a fast tattooer, he was taught that way. besides a time limit also shows who does stuff out of the comfy zone well and who doesn't...
like the dude that could draw the Fu dog but couldn't tattoo it... I'll watch it, Oliver is family. I'm proud...
side note: pointing out problems with the tattoos educates everyones future clients.... my two cents

I think the back piece is really one of my favorite things when it comes to meeting other people with lots of coverage...
My tattoos on my back are my favorite, and it just sucks I can't see em... but that's what a photo is for right, so here goes...
Top Chrysanthemums were by Casey Corklic Garland, TX, and the Jigoku Dayu was done by Doug Love, Santa Cruz, CA..
And of Course, theres a cover up or two. . .

Incidentally- with wordpress, I can track how people get to Occult Vibrations; since Ink Master premiered on the 17th, "Oliver Peck" has moved to the third most searched term that leads people to OV. (first is Occult Vibrations, second is Thomas Hooper)
More people come to OV by searching Peck's name in 12 days than in all of 2011.

Ha return of the Shak .

@Jennifer Stell bruised but its not bad. Def let me know when you guys roll through okc.
@gougetheeyes dude tapping was not a choice, I had stell on my ribs plus my wife (non tattooed ) already called me out about getting a small panther. " how big are you going to get it" {me-}I dont know big enough
"well dont get it small thats just pussy"

I am giving it another shot. I never met him, but I was a fan of his tattooing.

Panther by Richard Stell. Thanks Richard and jennifer

He's gonna whoop (whoop) your ass with his beard.

Got this today from Jef Whitehead

Richard Stell Panther done from one of his flash sets at Saints and Sinners in Charolton tx

Jennifer I had a great time except for that big ass bastard stabbing my fucking side for hrs HA. It was a great experience one that I would very much like to repeat when our paths cross again. Hope you guys have great travels and I will look to keep up with your posts on here untill I nut up and get a facebook or other social networking thing you guys use.

Scott you sat like a fucking champ. Props for sure you made me and a whole lotta other dudes look like pussies, we're all like hell nah, no way we're gonna sit that long without some medicinal buffer.
You got a lot of open space anytime you wanna get tattooed and we're around holler... I know Richard didn't mind working on you at all... And it's nice to have clients that do their own homework because they are into it... Thanks a Bunch! Let me know if you need anything.
Glad you made the drive back to OKC safe, we just got back to the motel 30 minutes or so ago, LONG DAY, but so good in a full way.

Every cripple has his own way of walking. I watched the show and while I was neither scandalized or disgusted, uplifted or inspired, I definitely could have spent an hour of my life in a more productive and constructive manner.
If anyone wants to watch a genuinely inspiring, humility inducing, constructively critical and real-er than reality documentary, check out BBC Imagine's Grayson Perry-The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman.
I also watched a doc. on Netflix recently called Circo, about a small family run Mexican circus, and one called Buck about a horseman. There are so many good documentaries out there about real people living real lives doing something interesting, unusual or unique I wonder why anyone would bother their bollox watching, making or participating in a tattoo reality tv show.
Still, bless 'em, whatever gets them through the day.

Oh yeah; when you're comparing Shane O'neil with... B-tat... somewhere someone had to look at their portfolios and say "wow. B-tat's work looks like it was done by an epileptic colorblind koala bear with one eye missing*". The only reason he was allowed on was as a sacrificial lamb.
*With one eye, the colorblind koala wouldn't have any depth perception. Thats why.. .you know... he doesn't have RAW TALENT.
I'm Shawn, and I'm not here to make any friends.
That's my opinion.

Regardless of the topic, why must every reality show have some douche who says "I didn't come here to make friends".
I'm going to go on a show. I'm going to say "I totally came here to make a bunch of friends, hopefully have sex with someone, and maybe just maybe not look like a big ol' douche on tv."

Chopped is one of my favorite tv shows...I thought this ink masters was pretty much the same format... I just watched it and actually enjoyed it. I've never seen the LA ink or the NY ink, so I can't really compare them, but I think Oliver Peck is hilarious, and I'm watching it just to see him in action. That dude cracks me up, and he's one of my favorite tattooers on top of it.

Richard said the same thing about the koi before Nunez pointed it out.... Then he said over half of everybody that tattoos NOW don't look at the shit they are doing... Without being PC I think both black dudes should go home then the girls.... Some of those tattoos were down right retarded, and I hope that Oliver makes just about everyone cry. GOOD TIMES!
I'll take a top chef tat show over a reality tattoo shop, at least people won't be like "I know how they do it at that shop Miami Ink, sooo...." And I will say I didn't and don't watch Miami Ink, LA Ink, or the like... If turning the channel and helping ratings will help our friend, fuck it... I am always on the look out for stuff to make haterade out of, or at least a good laugh.
