The Uncanny Valley Girls are back for one last time in 2023 with a continuation of their discussion of Ink Master host (and future ~Master of Chaos~) Dave Navarro. They touch on the network's broader branding (i.e. misogynistic) and how that relates to the industry it portrays, legal issues involving former judges Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck, and a not so subtle reminder that no matter who you are, live más. This is the second of two parts (see: Dave Navarro's Live Más Mentality Part 1).
