On Thursday, the artist posted a photo on his Instagram page where someone tells him how admirable he is for sticking with the competition despite having anxiety problems.

"I watch the show bc you inspire me!" the message reads. "I have an anxiety issue as well! I love watching you push through!

Thank you! @jasonclaydunn"

Don Peddicord Explains Why He Felt 'Unfairly Eliminated' From 'Ink Master'

Dunn responded to this message in the caption where he admitted that he didn't want to be part of the series at first since it gave him so much panic.

"I do not need money or fame," he wrote. "Even though my hard work is now scrutinized daily. I don't mind. There were years when I could barely leave my home and became agoraphobic."

Dunn continued his note with why he lets the pain surround him.

"I chose to suffer again to find some meaning behind all that was lost in my life," he wrote. "So I realized through all the positive messages I've received that I too could make a positive impact on people. I love that. This goes out to all my people that suffer moment to moment. I am here for you."
