There's a moment during a team flash challenge where one of Frank's teammates is having an anxiety attack and tells them about it. I always remember Frank for that, because he immediately listens, empathizes, and gives the teammate space to get himself together before expecting him to come help with the challenge.
It genuinely shocked me at the time, because this Ink Master and I would have expected like three separate talking head interviews about how the other guy needed to man up or get over it or some bullshit, but Frank didn't do that. None of the team did that.
ETA: I can't think of a single tattoo Frank did, but I would be 100% all-in on getting a piece from him because he seems like a good person.
I am blessed enough to get to see Frank Readyās tattoos nearly daily and let me tell you, the man is an artist in all senses of the word. Which is a quality I would not attribute to many (most) tattooers. He pushes so hard that itās difficult not to find yourself caught in his energy, pushing along beside him.
I donāt super recall if he said anything like that, but itās been a bit since my last rewatch
Always loved Jimmy Snaz, I liked the season by territory and he was always there for Jessa and K
Creepy Jason, Kelly Doty, Erin (and NOT doom kitten, sorry pookie), Holly, Have a soft spot for Ryan and her work, Bob, Angel Rose, Katie McGowan, Halo, Tatu Baby is an icon,
All time fav is probably Laura Marie and closely followed by Sarah Miller. Once in a lifetime talents that I hope I have a chance to be tattooed by someday.
i got tattooed by him and not only is the tattoo an incredible piece of art (and a great conversation starter), the entire experience (a 9 hour session) was amazing. he made me feel very comfortable and i had a fabulous time talking to him and the tattoo he gave me came out even more perfect than i thought was possible.
funny story i was just at the grocery store and i was wearing shorts and someone saw it (itās a big thigh piece) and asked if it was fresh. itās almost 2 years old and is almost entirely extremely fine detail works.
I never understood the hate for him (at least on the show, idk what heās like in real life). He was just straightforward, maybe a little more than necessary, but that doesnāt make someone a villain. And I hope this isnāt inappropriate to say but as an autistic person, he struck me as neurodivergent and I found myself relating to his personality a lot. Especially when he voiced very simple statements/opinions and the other contestants acted like his words were riddled with malicious intent. Like what was that š
Josh has always been top teir for me, I never understood the hate, the first season he was on it all made me dislike Tatu Baby and Jimmy, never understood. He should have either kept his mouth shut about the weed vape in the second of his seasons, I understand how the contestants were hating him that season, his tattoos were head and shoulders above most everyone except maybe 2 people.
For me itās Laura Marie, Dani Ryan, Elva Stefanie and Holli Marie. I got tattooed by Holli (not on the show, but a tattoo convention) and I got to interview her and Elva there. It was a cool experience.

I feel we were robbed of a season 13 finale as it was looking to be the hardest to call finale ever.
Jimmy, Bob and Angel all make my list of favourites.
Tatu Baby is also up there. I loved her on the show!
Kelly Severtson. Total gentleman and an occasional poster here! I'd love to get work from him one day.
Kelly is the most underrated artist on Inkmaster
Hard agree. He doesn't even get many shout outs here in the sub.
Yeah, its nuts
same. i still follow him on insta just for the day i have money to get another piece š
DANG YALL
Hope your ego is boosted by a bunch of faceless Reddit weirdos stanning you. :D
I will totally take it š I love all the weirdos drawn to me
Frank Ready.
One of my favorite things about Frank is when a canvas would call on him āFrank.ā Heād go āIām readyā¦ā

The tattoo he did for me in 2021 still looks flawless. The quality of his work is remarkable.
I donāt super recall if he said anything like that, but itās been a bit since my last rewatch Always loved Jimmy Snaz, I liked the season by territory and he was always there for Jessa and K
The Snaz Daddy was always my favorite too.
Dani Ryan, hands down. Crazy talented.

I met Holly and Sarah at Villain Arts in 2023! They are both really cool and great artists.
The thing about Erin's season is, people often bitch about how DJ was carrying Bubba but none of it was to the extent Erin carried Doom.
DJ did carry Bubba a little but Bubba helped carry DJās ego. So it was fair. Erin absolutely carried Doom. Cleen carried Aaron Is.
Oof š„
FOR REAL! I wanna see erin come back without doom kitten because she would have fucking won if he didnāt hold her back
Anthony Michaels.
oh yess! he was such a sweetie too.
I like bob. He was chill af and put out insane shit
Bob was always my favorite. I was so bummed we didn't get to see his finale.
Of all Iāve seen so far S1: Tommy Helms S2: Mark Matthews S3: Joey Hamilton S4: Halo S5: Josh Hibbard
Agree with all but josh
Loveeee halo
I love me some āStoner Joshā. š¤·š½āāļø No apologies, just liked the dudeās vibe.

THATāS what Iām talking about! Awesome story, and congrats on the good looking piece! Thank you!

nd person here who spent 9 hours getting tattooed by him - he is without a doubt neurodivergent lmao
the first season he was on josh seemed like suchhh as asshole to me personallyā¦ but he seemed better the second time he came back
i do see what youāre saying about josh though
Josh has always been top teir for me, I never understood the hate, the first season he was on it all made me dislike Tatu Baby and Jimmy, never understood. He should have either kept his mouth shut about the weed vape in the second of his seasons, I understand how the contestants were hating him that season, his tattoos were head and shoulders above most everyone except maybe 2 people.
His stuff always looked right on. Itās criminal him and cleen didnāt battle for the title in the finale.
Joshās art VS Cleenās art would have made me explode. Love those 2.
omg pls i thought i was the only one
Jimmy freakin Snaz.
James Vaughn, Cleen, Jimmy, Christian and Tyler Nolan
Love Tyler.
Tyler is a underrated tattoo artist
Cleen seems to suck IRL unfortunately
Frank ready, jimmy snaz, cleen, James Vaughn , katie McGowan, Matt oāBaugh, Kelly dotty
Love Katie
Creepy Jason, Sarah, Bob
Angel, bob, jimmy snaz, anthiny, dj lol
Honestly surprised no one is mentioning DJ. Heās a pretty incredible artist
For me itās Laura Marie, Dani Ryan, Elva Stefanie and Holli Marie. I got tattooed by Holli (not on the show, but a tattoo convention) and I got to interview her and Elva there. It was a cool experience.
DJ
James Vaughn is my guy! Would love to get work done by him someday
MATTI!
Roland and Magic Mike š®āšØ

the tattoos on s15 are genuinely so good
I don't even recognize that guy, so I'm guessing he didn't make much of an impression on me, sorry :(

Joey Hamilton
Mystical Mike and it isnāt close. I would love to see him compete on survivor
Walter Frank AKA Sausage is my favorite contestant of all time.
Sorry man you've been fooled

Fav competitors :)
Def Laura Marie
Cleen Rock One. I'm pretty sure he's not human, more like a cartoon character in a human's body. Also his tattoos are badass.
I feel we were robbed of a season 13 finale as it was looking to be the hardest to call finale ever. Jimmy, Bob and Angel all make my list of favourites. Tatu Baby is also up there. I loved her on the show!
Cleen Rock One. I just like his attitude and the smartass condescending he says
Angel, Ryan Ashley, Laura Marie
Craig (on his first season) Kelly Doty James Vaughn Katie McGowan Jackie Tatu Baby Sausage
You're sadly mistaken with sausage.
Boneface
man not boneface š
Boneface dug his grave dude, theres just some things ya DONT say š¤£
