Tattoo Virgins With INTENSE Requests 😮 Ink Master

What does an Ink Master canvas ask for when they have never been tattooed before? Something intense, according to the one new video on the show's official channel. "Tattoo Virgins With INTENSE Requests 😮 Ink Master" gathers people who came in with big plans and high hopes for their first piece. It drew nearly 40,000 views on its first day and has passed 85,000 since.

It is also the channel's busiest video right now, if only by a little. Close behind is a 25-day-old compilation of artists who snitched on their fellow competitors, which has passed 800,000 views. Both are built from the competition series that Dave Navarro hosted for its first seasons on Spike, the network later renamed Paramount Network. A month-old roundup of the toughest requests from seasons 14 to 17 is still finding viewers too.

Overall the channel is running close to its usual pace, a shade under its normal daily views. That is common in its corner this week. Love Island, The Voice UK and RuPaul's Drag Race are all a little below their norm as well. Dancing With The Stars is the exception, with daily views nearly three times its usual level.

For Ink Master, one upload was enough to keep the chair warm. The canvases with the boldest first requests are the ones holding the room.
