Have you ever wondered who your favorite artist's favorite artist is? We asked the cast of Season 23 to tell us their favorite tattoo of all time. (For full transparency, we told them it could be one they've seen in the world, one they've done or one they have on themselves so don't @ them for saying their own. GOT IT?)

Happy Halloween! It's our favorite time of the year, so we couldn't help but show our panel of tattoo artists some of the spookiest tattoos out there - from an oddly attractive Michael Myers to chrome Ghostface, we have it all.

At Inked Magazine, we pride ourselves on asking the real questions—an essential component of becoming one of the publications of all time (YES, one of the publications of all time!) That's why we decided to ask our esteemed panel of artists whether they would date someone in their own profession. Their responses may surprise you. Welcome to Season 23 of Tattoo Artists React!

Having grown up in a small town in Italy, Dominga rarely saw tattoos on people - but she knew she wanted them anyway. At 17, she convinced her mother to take her to get her first tattoo and today, she's a tattoo artist specializing in blackwork tattoos. We talked with Dominga about blackwork, the freeing feeling of face tattoos and more on this episode of Heavily Inked.

Tattooing was still illegal in New York City when Richie Bulldog got his first tattoo, so there wasn't a shop he could simply stroll into. Through word of mouth he found a basement in Brooklyn where he could get some ink, and waited for hours in a line that went down the street before getting a bulldog tattoo, naturally. That was the start of a lifelong love affair with tattooing. We spoke with Richie about that first tattoo, what it meant to have a neck tattoo in the early '90s and much more in this episode of Heavily Inked.

The tattoo industry was very, very different when Gia Rose first picked up a machine. For starters, artists had to make their own needles and pigments. And those machines? They weren't the quiet and reliable pens you see everybody using today. For tattooers, half the job was mastering how to build and maintain their tools. Rose persevered through those trying times and developed a gorgeous neo traditional tattoo style. We sat down to discuss the evolution of her style, how she became an artist, gratitude and much more for this Artist Profile.

Whether he’s standing on the lip of an enormous vert ramp or sitting across from Ozzy Osbourne ready to interview the legend, Jason Ellis always appears to be perfectly poised and ready to rock. But inside? Abject terror. Ellis has learned to use the fear to his advantage, relishing every time he’s able to vanquish that particular nemesis. And if we were to check the scorecard, it looks like he’s undefeated thus far. In between racing cars, shooting a flamethrower and getting punched in the face at our photoshoot, Ellis chatted with Sarah Hyland of the “Not Cool” podcast to walk us through his extraordinary life.

We love the tattoo industry. You love the tattoo industry. We wouldn't be here if we didn't. That being said, there are a lot of really corny trends out there, the kinds of things that make us roll our eyes to the point of injury. Whether it's TikTok trends, foam reveals or meme tattoos, there's a lot out there irritating our panel of tattoo artists.

Freedom is one of the fringe benefits of being a tattoo artist. You have the freedom to set your schedule, freedom to work on what you want and, most notably, the freedom to travel the world plying your trade. As tattoo artists travel around the world for work, they end up coming home with some pretty wild stories. We asked our panel of tattoo artists to share some of their craziest tattoo travel stories.

Do you need to be an artist to be a tattooer? It's a question many of us have often wondered. Back in the day, many tattooers would consider themselves craftsmen, not artists. This makes sense when you consider so much of the job was simply applying the tattoo into the skin after somebody picked out a design form the wall. These days, it seems like more and more tattooers are starting out in art school and are already well versed in skills like advanced color theory before ever picking up a machine. We asked our panel of tattoo artists if you really need to be an "artist" to be a tattooer and were surprised by the varied answers they gave. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

How do you think you would feel if a tattoo you put your heart and soul into a tattoo only to see it be completely backed out? I'd like to imagine that would bruise the ego just a little bit. Or maybe artists don't care once the tattoo walks out of the studio. For this episode of Tattoo Artists React, we asked our panel of tattoo artists what they think about blackout tattoos, as well as how they feel to see their work blacked out.

Cruella Morgan has always lived her life by her own rules, haters be damned. The multi-hyphenate talent—influencer, creator, model, performer, entrepreneur—has seen her profile explode in the last couple of years, so we sat down with her and asked if there was a secret to her success. The always candid Morgan walked us through how she built her reputation, the importance of using her platform for the right reasons and her desire to be the kind of influence she needed when she was younger.

Have you ever gotten home from your tattoo apartment only to refresh your Instagram 10,000 times in a row waiting for your artist to post your tattoo? This will naturally lead to a downward spiral: why didn't they post it? Don't they like it? Do they hate my tattoo? DO THEY HATE ME?! Why am I the scum of the Earth with a bad tattoo given to me by a bad person who hates me despite taking all of my rent money?!?!?!?! OK, hopefully you haven't been that extra about it, but we've all wondered why our artists weren't posting our new tattoo with the same urgency we are. So we asked our panel of tattoo artists to give us the scoop about why they don't always post your tattoo.

Growing up, Matt was enamored by the glorification of street life he saw in movies like "Boyz n the Hood," prodding him to seek out danger. He got very into graffiti and ended up getting sucked into the gang life like so many others in Los Angeles at the time, eventually finding himself in prison. It was there that he got a lot of tattoos he regretted, a lot of tattoos that don't belong out in the world. We spoke with Matt about getting tattooed in prison, the weight that was lifted when he removed some of those tattoos and much more in this episode of Heavily Inked.

About a decade ago Pony Wave got a beautiful floral sleeve tattoo. Yet when she rode public transportation in her home town outside of Moscow, older people would stare and cross themselves as if she were the devil incarnate. It was at that moment that she realized people were looking at her in a different way than they ever had before. In this episode of Heavily Inked, we discuss Pony's affinity for the natural world, her journey to become a tattoo artist, how she convinced her parents her first tattoo wasn't permanent and much more.

We're finally back! It's been a minute, but Tattoo Artists React has returned better than ever! For our first video we're looking at tattoos sent in by our beloved subscribers. Some of you have good tattoos. Others? Not so much. But boy oh boy were those bad tattoos entertaining. One of them even made a baby cry. Enjoy!
