Well, what can I say? I did my best and still fell short. This tattoo was one of my favorites from this experience and the canvas was badass as well! Not gonna blame anything or anyone. I will take my loss and move on. @inkmaster was a hell of an experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I made friends, lifelong friends... and I indeed made enemies, but all in all it was 100% worth it. I fought for my son, and for every family that fights the good fight and deals with ASD and all other spectrum-related disorders. I hope I didn’t let any of you down. If I could do it all again, I would fight for us all even harder than ever. Thank you @cleenrockone for all you did to help me during the competition. To my boys that are still fighting, @tifferwright and @tony_medellintattoo I wish you luck and hope you kick serious ass to get to that finale! To my fellow eliminated team, @jamieleeparker @austin_rose_ta2 @inigo.montoya @tattoome_stacy @jimmy_snaz and @kmacktattoos we fought hard and fought valiantly, and we fought with class. More than I can say about the other side, but I’ll leave it at that. I love you guys and I can’t wait to see you all again at the finale! Thanks to @paramountnetwork and all the production team for all their hard work in making this magic happen. Last but not least, I would like to thank @davenavarro @oliverpecker and @chrisnunezlibertycity for the hard work that they do, on the show, and having to deal with people calling them every name in the book when they send badass motherfuckers like me home, hahaha. I love you guys, even when I disagree with you. Again, thank you all for your overwhelming support. I look forward to showing you all that I know what the hell I’m doing. 💙🧩💙 #turkturkturk #teamcleen #inkmaster #inkmastergrudgematch #inkmasterseason11 (at Left Hand Black Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqdC55mhV95/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18rz733u17zhq

Sorry for the late post, had some family time at Disneyland... here’s my tattoo from the last episode of @inkmaster !! Finally a Tattoo of the Day! I was really super stressed about this one because it’s on the ribs and I just KNEW I was gonna catch some grief for the face being turned away but, like always, I do what the canvas wants even at my own peril. Definitely sought out and listened to the wisdom and guidance of my coach, @cleenrockone who helped me out big time with this one. I’ve been catching a ton of shit on IG and twitter for being a cry-baby or bitch or whatever for being emotional and then asking for help. It’s crazy to me because being emotional about your kids doesn’t make you any less a man. Nor does asking someone for help. My pride is what was getting in my way before and it’s tough to admit that you need help, no matter the situation. Not to mention the insane stress of the competition... I let myself open up a bit and the trolls have a feeding frenzy, but such is life. This tattoo is great, help or no help. The canvas was great and he and his wife are so very happy with the tattoo. That’s all I care about. You can hate me or call me whatever you want, but the canvas is happy, and that’s all that matters to me. Thanks for looking. #turkturkturk #inkmaster #inkmasterseason11 #inkmastergrudgematch (at Left Hand Black Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpZ_YwMhHlw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k0o24adb7yhh
