33. PLEASE PUT THIS ON THE TMZ POLL--- DID THIS GUY REALLY HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE INK OF ALL 322 ENTRIES? I think you would find that overwhelmingly the answer would be "NO". For the millions of us who take our ink seriously, please do not hold any more bogus ink contests. Obviously, those at TMZ who made this decision, haven't a clue!!

35. tmz, you suck even more than this douchebag barber. Most of his tats looks like he got them in prison, only thing i can figure is you are friends with this dillhole and that is why he won. Don't bother having anymore contests if they are not going to be judged seriously.
you guys hellasuck

36. Gorgeous tattoo. Adam Daniel did a fantastic job.

I usually refrain from responding to people's negative comments regarding tattoos... after all, to each their own. But I have to smile when folks mention things like "no future, won't be able to get a job", etc.

37. So TMZ sucks douche nozzles. And now they have lost some fans. I can only imagine what sort of system went into the judging, It was titled "INCREDIBLE INK" contest. Was it not? Did you see some of the tattoo abortions that made it into the final cut? OMG, thats not body art, thats just ugly. YUK. But anyway, I digress. So you have a contest calling it "INCREDIBLE INK" and you let prison tattoos, half finished "dont have enough money for the rest of it" tattoos, clearly regrettable tattoos, and every other lame-a$$ wanna-be into the cut. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE OPEN HEART SURGERY WAS THEE MOST INSANE HANDS-DOWN BELL RINGING PIECE OF ART I HAVE EVER SEEN. So that guy, if you're reading, you got robbed. Big time. Can someone please tell me...Who the Fu©k is Daniel Day Lewis? And why did the guy (who has a barber shop that has celebrity clients...wink wink....guess we know where TMZ recruits their moles from) with THEE lamest ink win? You should be ashamed of yourself TMZ. You say your contest is for one thing and then reward the opposite. I thought to myself, wow, how awesome would that be to just have a kick a$$ permanent body art contest where the lame tribal, the completely and utterly retarded big bird with a machine gun, and tramp stamps are not even included. You really had a chance to set yourself apart on this, but dropped the ball oh-so completely. You dangled a 250 dollar carrot in front of a very wide target demographic and promised to hold a contest that was "INCREDIBLE". Well, let me tell you that you failed miserably. You tried to accomodate everyone. Give every one their little 1.5 seconds of fame (i wouldnt even say I spent that much time looking at some of the tattoo nightmares that people were trying to submit, and instead of having fewer but albeit more quality pictures from which to judge, you cast a wide net that ruined the contest for everyone. For those of us with hundreds of hours and (to those who actually have to pay for work) thousands of dollars.

I wanted to ask those people who have the nastiest tattoos, what were you thinking? What was it about your lame-a$$ tribal tattoo that said to you "wow, tmz is going to have an INCREDIBLE ink contest, and me and this melanoma looking tribal band around my arm, or with the M.I.L.F. stamp all up on my stretch marks, were gonna win. We have this crap tattoo and boy, were gonna make #1 in this incredible ink contest". REALLY?? COME-ON. You can not be serious. It's embarassing. You know some of you were looking at tattoo removal for some of those, and dont even lie. But honestly, what made you look at something you probably try to cover up in public, and make excuses for when someone does see it, and think, YELP...this is #1? Explain it to me like I'm 5. It was supposed to be an "INCREDIBLE" ink contest. WTF were some of you thinking, because there were REALLY about 15-25 actual pieces that were INCREDIBLE. Not 322. So TMZ, I'm just thinking that you used the popularity of this "trend" of people getting permanent body art (I dont use the word tats, its degrading) to drive people to your site. Thats a shame. stop it. stop trying to do anything more than show us jennifer garners ripped panties, and britney spears nasty stank HO-BAG crotch. Quit using art, and the great people who embrace it as a way to drive hits to your site. If you guys actually, really really tried you could have done this right. And THAT would have been incredible.

39. Any tear-like tattoo below the eye (in this case a sailor's anchor symbol) means that the person with such tattoo has been in jail and was somebody's "woman" for a loooong time. I'm serious! And the word "sailor" is also used often as a gay term (old school). Often times these "sailors" would get "pirate's eye" in jail. Hence the tattoo. It doesn't always have to be an anchor. As I said, anything below the eye around that size that can resemble a tear. Now when you see people like that you'll know a little about them.

41. Richie congrats. You have your own style that you live and don't just act out for the hell of it. You worked hard to get your own barber shop . People tht make nasty comments do that because they are jealous of what you worked hard to get. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and these same people that are haters now will look to kiss your a$$ because you will make it big. Anyone that don't know Richie should come in and get an old school haircut and shave @264 on Melrose I bet you will be very happy and want to be a regular.
