After Don Peddicord was eliminated from Ink Master: Rivals, he had plenty to talk about, including the tattoo he's most proud of as well as how shocking it was for him to leave.

Joshua Hibbard Dishes On The Stress Of 'Ink Master'

Last Friday, Carter Matt posted an interview with the artist who mentioned two pieces of work that were some of his favorites from this competition.

"The tattoo that I'm most proud of in this competition is a tough call between my dead wood piece on Mike's thigh, or my bio-organic piece on Tracy's ribs," Peddicord said. "Both were very touch and inspiring people and I was honored to add my artwork to them forever that added to their stories."

The tattoo artist then explained why he didn't feel like he should've been the next contestant to leave the competition mainly because he thinks the judges put Jason ahead of him.

"I was completely blindsided even being in the bottom of the skull challenge," Peddicord admitted. "No one saw that coming, not even the other contestants. I definitely felt like I was unfairly eliminated because even by the judges own admission I didn't have the worst tattoo of the day. They just thought Jason had more potential moving forward, so I was eliminated for future tattoos that I haven't even done yet, seems legit, right?"

Despite his thoughts on his elimination, Peddicord takes the judges' comments into positive consideration.

"I may be the only contestant in the history of the competition to really enjoyed being critiqued," he said. "It was extremely helpful not only in the competition, but moving forward in my career."
