00:00Previously on Ink Master, Hometown Heroes.

00:07This looks like a food stall.

00:09In the Flash Challenge, the artists foiled the competition.

00:13I did not want to be on the team with Matt.

00:15I'm glad I chose.

00:16Wherever Matt is, I'm not going.

00:17Yeah.

00:18It's a hard decision because...

00:19They show artistry in different ways.

00:20Which one shows more artistry?

00:21That's the thing.

00:22Oh, scorpions are so original.

00:24Do you have any fingers and bones we got?

00:26We can't see all the bones you had

00:27because there's tinfoil covering them.

00:29The winner of the Flash Challenge is Team Mike.

00:33Yes.

00:34We leveled up today.

00:35In the elimination tattoo.

00:37I can't put that on me.

00:39So you're not going to give me a chance?

00:41No.

00:44That artist over there, she's tattooing herself.

00:46Weird position for the leg.

00:48Pretty crazy.

00:49Sink or swim, guys.

00:51Every second matters.

00:53I might add a touch more blue just to give it a little pop.

00:57Definitely an unexpected approach.

01:00I'm definitely playing it safe.

01:02In the elimination, OJ, Kayahi, and Mike were in the bottom.

01:08Kayahi's lacks contrast.

01:10OJ's has half a bottle.

01:12That's a big deal.

01:13Mike's is lacking cohesion, creativity.

01:16Mm-hmm.

01:17I'm bored.

01:18The judges have decided,

01:19Mike, you do not have what it takes to be Ink Master.

01:25Ten artists remain, but only one will earn a $250,000 prize.

01:31This shit real as hell now.

01:33And the title of Ink Master.

01:47The man of the hour.

01:48Ooh.

01:49Angel of death.

01:50Strange looking small.

01:51Yeah, it is.

01:55Oh!

01:56I told y'all I was going to fight.

01:59I told y'all I was going to fight.

02:01I knew you was coming back.

02:03Come on, boy.

02:05Oh, my God.

02:06My heart's racing.

02:13I'm going to say this.

02:14It is real down there.

02:15How was Mike during this?

02:17Mike's whole strategy was that it just make it as clean as possible,

02:20and it's not enough anymore.

02:22There's literally no room for error.

02:24You're either shooting for the top spot,

02:26or you could be on the bottom.

02:28Did anyone get emotional?

02:29Look at his eyes.

02:30He was fucking watering off.

02:32Matt, were you crying?

02:33Yeah, well, like, let's just move on.

02:35Be grateful where we are,

02:36and then you're all fucked tomorrow

02:37when we start another challenge.

02:49Uh-oh.

02:50They're back.

02:51Welcome.

02:52Each week, the battle for $250,000 gets more intense.

02:58It does.

02:59In the end, only one of you will bring home the title of Ink Master.

03:04We all know who it's going to be, right?

03:06It's not over till it's over, man.

03:08This week, the game changes.

03:11What?

03:12So what are we doing?

03:13What is this?

03:14This is a double elimination.

03:18Oh, damn.

03:19The stress is up now.

03:21Two people going home versus one?

03:23Awesome.

03:24That means you have to really be the best at this point.

03:26What?

03:27You got to text me that next time, bro.

03:28I don't need you to be saying it out loud, bro.

03:30You got my stress levels high.

03:32This week, you are being tested on one of the most important skills any tattoo artist must possess.

03:38Adaptability.

03:41Oh.

03:42Yeah.

03:43Okay, okay, okay.

03:44Bro, you're tattoo artist.

03:45People are going to ask you a few different things.

03:47You have to adapt.

03:48This week, you must survive a flash marathon.

03:53Marathon?

03:54What the fuck?

03:55Oh, so good.

03:57Today, you will have six hours to create as many four-inch by four-inch flash designs as you can or want to create.

04:07Let's go.

04:08Tomorrow, your flash sheets will be displayed, and you will have 12 hours to tattoo as many of those designs as possible.

04:1712 hours.

04:18This is so sick.

04:20Oh, my God.

04:22How many people are going to be here?

04:24It just sounds like chaos.

04:25Canvases will flood the shop, choosing designs based only on your artwork on the wall and your ability to sell your skills.

04:34All right.

04:35Your boy got this.

04:36I'm funny as hell, I'm charming as shit, and I have a major personality.

04:41This shit going to be a cakewalk.

04:42This is so fucking sick.

04:44Fast, quick, efficient tattooing.

04:47Get them in, get them out.

04:48This is what I was fucking made for.

04:50You'll probably only be working a few hours, Seth.

04:52Hey, hey, hey.

04:53No one's gonna even want your tattoos.

04:54Wow.

04:55You calm down over there.

04:56But there's a catch.

04:57Of course.

04:58All right.

04:59Every canvas wants their tattoo in an extremely difficult and painful part of the body.

05:06Fuck.

05:07From the head, to the armpit, to the butt, or the kneecap, adaptability is crucial.

05:15Forget about your bold lines on the armpit.

05:18Oh, I'm going bold.

05:19Yeah, we're going in.

05:20Fuck yeah.

05:21You don't know who is walking through that door or where they want their tattoo.

05:25I really need to make sure that I have something for everybody on this flash sheet.

05:29For all I know, my grandma's book club could be walking through the door.

05:32You will be judged not only on how many tattoos you do, but how well you tattoo them.

05:38I'm glad I'm fast.

05:40We are looking for quality and quantity.

05:43Yo, you're going to have to get busy.

05:45Back in the day, even when you worked with other tattooers, you were competing next to them.

05:49Hell yeah.

05:50You really want to sell yourself to these canvases because that's how you're going to edge out the competition.

05:55Here we go.

05:56Set yourself up for success by doing designs that will be versatile enough to fit on these hard parts of the body.

06:05You really think about time when you're designing these pieces.

06:07You have to be efficient.

06:08Yes.

06:09Slap the Vaseline, stick those kneecaps down, and ride this thing out.

06:13Some people are going to start crumbling.

06:15But there is one more thing you should know.

06:18Why wouldn't there be?

06:20Your tattoos must speak for themselves because these tattoos will be judged together as a complete body of work without the judges knowing who did which design.

06:32That's awesome.

06:33I like the fairness.

06:34The judges will then rank your complete body of work, and the two artists with the lowest rankings will be eliminated.

06:43Damn.

06:44Just like that.

06:45That's rough.

06:46Just like that.

06:47Out, out.

06:48You have six hours to create your Flash designs.

06:52Good luck.

06:53Oh, boy.

07:01It's too damn quiet in here, man.

07:02I thought y'all was my family.

07:03We can't let this divide us.

07:06It's not going to divide us, but we're going to throw some people at home, man.

07:10How many birds do y'all think Matt is drawing?

07:13Oh, Matt, please tell me all of your Flash has wings.

07:17I should do that, though.

07:18Small tattoos aren't easy.

07:20When you've got less lines and less detail, they expose more problems, so it takes a skill to know what to put in and what not to put in.

07:26What style are you going, Seth?

07:28Just a few different ones.

07:29Oh, that's very vague.

07:30Coming from a street shop background, I used to design Flash sheets all the time. We had walk-ins every day.

07:37Maybe a few Neo, maybe a couple American traditional.

07:40I'm doing flowers, I'm doing lady faces, I'm doing big traditional cats. These are tattoos that have been done a million times, and they have to be done right.

07:48Luca, where you at?

07:50Going hard, man. I'm not too sure if I go super different every Flash, so I could get more people.

07:57I'm going to make sure I make the design pretty small so I can do more. They want quality and quantity. I can do a lot of them if they want to get tattoos.

08:05OJ, what's up, my boy?

08:07Chilling.

08:08OJ got a couple of oranges over there.

08:11I'm doing some delicate designs, I'm doing some bolder designs. My strategy is to appeal to as many people as possible.

08:17You've got to put the cornucopia basket.

08:20I should do that.

08:22I should probably add some Polynesian pieces just to mix it up.

08:26Keep in mind, you're doing like armpits, only shitty spots.

08:30You're trying to throw me off my game, man.

08:32You're doing good, man. It's all good. Don't listen to me.

08:35I'm going to be like, I'm flexible. What do you want? All right. Realistic?

08:41We'll mix styles. I don't care.

08:43I don't think I'm just stressing out because of my line work.

08:48I think it's easier to pull thicker lines than thins.

08:51That's kind of what I've been trying to think about.

08:53What are my favorite liners and fastest ones to use?

08:56I love that one. I'm going to be doing it right now.

08:59I've already got ten done.

09:00How many are you going to do?

09:01Dude, I'm a fucking beast. I'll do as many as I want.

09:04Come on.

09:25That's his special move. Boucher putting his sales hat on today.

09:28Hell yeah.

09:29Come over here. Come over here. Come over here.

09:32Oh, here they come.

09:36What's up? Come on, take a little step down this way.

09:39I specialize in everything, man. Fast, clean, solid tattoos.

09:43We got, you know, just some simple stuff.

09:45I'm kind of limited, but you know.

09:46What are you specialize in?

09:47Black and gray photos.

09:48What are you specialize in?

09:49Anything with colors.

09:51Anything really?

09:52Black and gray, whatever you want.

09:53I can see you got really great stuff, man.

09:54You know what to find me now?

09:55Yeah, I do know what to find me now.

09:57What's your background?

09:58Pollination in Japanese, mostly.

10:00It's all about the flow, babe.

10:02Yes.

10:03I was looking at this one.

10:04Yeah.

10:05Or this one.

10:06That'd be sick.

10:07As you can see, I do like a lot of heavy black and gray super saturated work.

10:10I did a bunch of different designs to, you know, accommodate a bunch of different people.

10:14And then from them, we can go either black and gray, we can go color.

10:17I do both.

10:18I can show you a bunch of stuff.

10:20I'm watching you sell it.

10:21I want to know how you're selling it.

10:23I got you first.

10:24I got you second.

10:25If you need me third with the cake, let's do this, bro.

10:28Artists, you've got 12 hours to prove your adaptability in a flash tattoo marathon.

10:35And your time starts now.

10:39All right.

10:40Let's do it.

10:41Let's go.

10:42How much tattoos are meant to be?

10:44Wham, bam.

10:45Thank you, ma'am.

10:46So just look straight.

10:47Perfect.

10:48They're banging out as many as they can while keeping that quality.

10:51This is a double elimination.

10:54That looks sick.

10:55You got to not just tattoo today.

10:57You got to be able to hustle.

10:59Oh, that's fucking dope.

11:02You ready?

11:03Let's do it.

11:08How's that?

11:09You okay?

11:10Yeah.

11:11Okay.

11:12I'm ready to work.

11:13Bye.

11:14I'm focusing more on quality than quality, but I definitely need to do a fair amount.

11:20It's also a double elimination.

11:22It's like no one's really safe.

11:24How did you get into tattooing?

11:25I was 11.

11:26And I saw my big brother getting a tattoo when I just thought it was the best fucking thing

11:37ever.

11:38I became completely obsessed about it.

11:40Yeah.

11:41And I did this now for 18 years.

11:44Ever since I was a kid, I've struggled with the feeling of doing enough.

11:49Now, critiquing my own work, it's never enough.

11:53I have this reach for perfection.

11:55It takes a lot of balls to do what you do.

11:57It takes something for sure.

11:59Here, everything on steroids, the bar gets lower, so it fucks with my head a bit.

12:04So good.

12:05You like it?

12:06I'm good?

12:07Okay, perfect.

12:08Perfect.

12:09I'm looking at one of yours.

12:10If I can stop the little voice in my head telling me that things have to be perfect,

12:15I think I can go a long way.

12:18Sorry if I go into my zone a little bit here, babe.

12:25Oh, good.

12:26Tiny little lines to be here.

12:29Literally from the moment I get one inch away from the skin, I realize how shaky my hands

12:35are.

12:36I'm trying to do the teeniest fine line in the ditch of an arm with the most uncontrollable

12:42shakes of my life.

12:45I'm just trying to wing it through this and hope that my shakes calm down.

12:49I don't know what the fuck is going on with me.

13:05I hope you guys have at least one tattoo done.

13:08There are 10 hours remaining.

13:10Does anyone want to get tattooed?

13:12I feel like maybe a skull might match with what you have.

13:15I don't think so.

13:16I feel like the mushroom theme you were going with.

13:19You know, I have, you know, you've seen the mushroom.

13:21But then if you think about quality, these guys just don't do it.

13:24Okay.

13:25Okay, Montreal.

13:26Are you going to sway me?

13:27I was kind of looking at this one.

13:29Awesome.

13:30Awesome.

13:31But it's the armpit.

13:32Yeah, perfect.

13:33OJ, are you gentle?

13:35Gentle?

13:36Like who?

13:37OJ, gentle.

13:38No, let me tell you something.

13:39OJ is a butcher.

13:40What?

13:41Are we kidding?

13:42OJ, you want to go?

13:44I don't want to wait.

13:45Oh, look at this.

13:46You want to do it?

13:47Let's do this.

13:48What you looking to get?

13:49What placements?

13:50It's on my butt.

13:51Spooky.

13:52Spooky butt.

13:53There you go.

13:54The poison apple.

13:55Let's do the apple.

13:56What are you going to do when you win?

13:59I would definitely give like a large chunk to my parents to help them pay off the house.

14:09Initially when I told my parents that I was getting into tattooing, they were on the fence

14:13about it because they're very traditional.

14:16Work your job, get your paycheck, save for your retirement.

14:19Why, why, why did I put all the lines in here?

14:22I hope that them just seeing me here is enough to really prove that I have what it takes to be a great artist.

14:30For me, everything is a surprise.

14:31I love it.

14:32What got you into art?

14:33Since I was a kid, I used to draw everywhere.

14:34The walls, the floor.

14:35My granny gave me a sketchbook.

14:36And then everything started.

14:37Sometimes I think about the things you did, like, even when you were a kid.

14:38Yeah.

14:39It brought you here.

14:40Yeah.

14:41The book is really great.

14:42That's it, Carol.

14:43All in.

14:44Love that.

14:45You've got eight hours.

14:47You've got eight hours.

14:50You've got eight hours.

14:52You've got eight hours.

14:57You've got eight hours.

14:59I always feel like I have to prove myself as a new artist.

15:04Who is the competition here, other than you?

15:06I would say probably the most experienced artist, you know?

15:09Yeah.

15:10But I'm trying to give them a run for their money.

15:11Dude, fight me.

15:12I'm an aggressive little Asian girl.

15:14I do love pit bulls, so that helps.

15:25I know.

15:26This is a tough tattoo to have on your butt.

15:28Ah!

15:29So happy.

15:30This is my first memory of a tattoo.

15:33As we walked into my dad's shop, it's the first flash sheet there.

15:36And that's, as a kid, that's the first thing I saw.

15:38That's so cool.

15:39Every piece of flash on the wall was a story to be told.

15:42Like, my dad would have tattooed this, like, thousands of times.

15:45Yeah.

15:46And my dad passed away, so it's kind of cool to be able to do a tribute like this.

15:50Taking something that he was well known for, that was lost as he got sicker and sicker,

15:55and to come back around and use tattooing to make it positive again, to, like, heal everyone else as well.

16:01I think that's really cool.

16:02That's the coolest thing I could have put on my butt today.

16:05Yeah.

16:06We are halfway there.

16:07Six hours.

16:08How are you, man?

16:10Good, man.

16:11No one available right now?

16:12I don't know.

16:13I haven't gone over a check.

16:14Man, there's still so much more to do, man.

16:15This five hour is crazy.

16:16My daughter's 11.

16:17She gonna say, Daddy, if I get older, I want to get a tattoo.

16:18God damn it, you gonna wait.

16:19This S on my chest stands for my daughter.

16:20I gotta carry her everywhere I go.

16:21And I want her to understand that, you know, if your daddy can fight to survive, you can, too.

16:26That stinking black hair.

16:27I don't want to get a tattoo.

16:28I don't want to get a tattoo.

16:29I don't want to get a tattoo.

16:30God damn it, you gonna wait.

16:31This S on my chest stands for my daughter.

16:33I gotta carry her everywhere I go.

16:34And I want her to understand that, you know, if your daddy can fight to survive, you can, too.

16:39That stinking black and grayscale for the dagger.

16:42And then, like, some color added to the leaves.

16:44I had to rob opportunity and take the shit that he was gonna give to somebody else.

16:48Right here?

16:49Like where you'd snack it.

16:51Yeah, right here.

16:53I'm determined and I'm fighting for the life that my family deserves.

16:57Why are you not tattooing?

16:59Go sell that shit.

17:01Be cool, be funny.

17:02Go tell them some jokes.

17:03Joe's telling me you got kids.

17:04Yes.

17:05Bro, you better go long.

17:07Artists, there are four hours left on the clock.

17:10I really like her.

17:12Hmm.

17:13See?

17:14The bond.

17:15Last week, I tattooed myself.

17:17I felt really defeated after feeling like I wasn't worthy of tattooing somebody.

17:22I feel all this pressure now.

17:24Like, oh, do good.

17:25Show your hometown what's up.

17:27As long as you're happy with what you're doing, that's what really matters.

17:30Yeah.

17:31I'm pretty sure that I proved some fucking adaptability last week.

17:34And I'm ready to show some more.

17:36You're in three?

17:37Three.

17:38How many of you?

17:39Five.

17:40Five.

17:41Yeah.

17:42We're gonna go back in strong.

17:43I work fast and I'm extremely gentle.

17:45You guys are good, right?

17:46Yeah.

17:47Locked in.

17:48What number are you on, OJ?

17:49Not a lot.

17:52My wife has a business of her own, so to run that and then also have the girls with her

17:58kind of takes a toll.

17:59Being away from my wife, it's tough, but I'm also here to pay her back in a way.

18:04Being a young tattooer, she was always there to kind of support me.

18:07When my career wasn't as strong as it is now, this is a chance to really show her that it was all worth it.

18:13I love it.

18:14Yeah.

18:15Glad I got to do that for you.

18:18Oh, yeah.

18:19We still got over three hours, man.

18:20We got plenty of time.

18:21You're not beat?

18:22No, with everything that we have on the line, man, 12 hours ain't shit.

18:25If they told me to tattoo for 24 hours, I would do it.

18:27Each of these tattoo flash designs I know that I could get done in an hour and 15.

18:32Time is not an issue today.

18:34Is he excited to win all that money?

18:36Oh, dude.

18:37You have no idea.

18:38First thing I'm doing is buying my wife a house.

18:40This is the longest that my wife and I have ever spent apart.

18:43Just knowing that she's there and she's so supportive, that drives me harder than anything.

18:49I know.

18:50I'm behind.

18:51No, no bullshit.

18:52After him?

18:53Come on.

18:54All right?

18:55Don't make me come back over here, bro.

18:56Time has always been my enemy since being here and today is not making that any better.

19:01You can tell.

19:02Like, you're very, like, cool, calm, collected, relaxed.

19:05And, you know, it's so funny because this competition is, like, the complete opposite of that.

19:09Keep hustling, guys.

19:10There's only two hours left and there are campuses out here waiting.

19:14How much do you want it?

19:15See, I'm gauging.

19:16I'm gauging.

19:17Ooh, ooh.

19:20Calm down.

19:21Okay.

19:22Yay.

19:23Oh, my God.

19:24Are you looking at the cat?

19:25I'm looking at the cat.

19:26Oh, my God.

19:27Come on.

19:28She's moving on.

19:29She's moving on.

19:30Yeah, yeah.

19:31Go look.

19:32There's some trash traditional right here.

19:33Go on.

19:34Do that one.

19:35Get a tiger.

19:36Get a tiger.

19:37Get a tiger.

19:38Not into traditional.

19:39Ooh.

19:40Your style just got fucking shot down.

19:43Ah.

19:44Last chance.

19:45Last two hours.

19:46I just want a tattoo.

19:47Oh, you've got it.

19:48Get away from it.

19:49Hey.

19:50Who are you going to get to everybody?

19:51Boucher.

19:52Oh, what the fuck?

19:53Fucking hell.

19:54How do you think you've been doing so far in the competition?

19:55I think I've been doing good.

19:56Nice.

19:57I know the reason I came here, you know, because I think life is about experience and I think

20:10anything that's worth anything is on the other side of fear.

20:12Yeah.

20:13If I would have let my fear got to me, I would never have even made it here.

20:17My hands have stopped shaking.

20:19It must have been a nerves thing.

20:21The last couple of days have been really hard.

20:23This is actually the longest I've been away from home ever.

20:25I'm really, honestly, I'm missing my kids.

20:27They are so fucking proud that I'm here.

20:30You know, I don't want to let anyone down, you know.

20:36My dog would be like very pleased with me if I came home with a tattoo of him on my ribs.

20:40You can think about it.

20:41I'll think about it.

20:42You can stew on Boucher for a while.

20:50So hurry up.

20:51Wrap it up.

20:52I am.

20:53Shut the fuck up.

20:54Are you not done?

20:55They're all waiting on you.

20:56They're waiting on me?

20:57Yeah, they're waiting on you.

20:58Girls are loyal to Boucher.

21:00Can't get him.

21:01Can't get him.

21:02Can't snake him.

21:03I hope you can get one more in.

21:04You got one hour left.

21:06You gotta do it.

21:07Yeah.

21:08It's for your dog.

21:09Come on.

21:10Bring me.

21:11Do it.

21:12Are you switching up?

21:13I'm bringing you a new person.

21:14You got another one though.

21:15You got another one.

21:16You got another one though instead.

21:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

21:18Got one hour.

21:19We're probably gonna have to do this thing black and gray.

21:21Better do a black and gray tattoo than an unfinished tattoo.

21:25I can't.

21:26I'm just worried about time.

21:27I don't know if we'll finish this.

21:28Because it's...

21:29Because we tried.

21:30I waited a long time today.

21:32Oh.

21:33I really wanted something like bigger on my knee.

21:35Yeah.

21:36I got you.

21:37Oh man.

21:38We are cutting it close.

21:39It's alright though.

21:40It's alright.

21:4130 minutes left.

21:42I'm fighting time right now.

21:43Let's go.

21:44Nearly done.

21:45Damn.

21:46Surprised myself at this point.

21:47Hell yeah.

21:48120 seconds.

21:49Couple more lines.

21:50Five.

21:51Four.

21:52Three.

21:53Two.

21:54One.

21:55That's it.

21:56Time's up.

21:57No more rings.

21:58Alright.

21:59We're done.

22:00Did we do it?

22:01We did.

22:02That was crazy.

22:03Oh my God.

22:04We did it.

22:05Yes.

22:06Awesome.

22:07Didn't see that coming, did y'all?

22:08No.

22:09You're talented, little Ozzy.

22:20Anybody in here feeling nervous?

22:38Yeah.

22:39As usual, I expect the worst.

22:40There's no middle anymore.

22:42You're either on the top or you're in trouble of going home.

22:45Y'all definitely just fucked it up for me and my confidence is over with.

22:48No, no, no.

22:49Alright, judges.

22:50The artists had to prove their adaptability by competing in a flash tattoo marathon.

22:5512 solid hours.

22:57Yeah, it'll weed out the week really quick.

22:59Damn.

23:00This is a double elimination.

23:05As a group, the artists created 71 tattoos.

23:0971?

23:10Damn.

23:11Good job, guys.

23:12So we gotta critique 71 tattoos.

23:14To be clear, none of us have any idea who tattooed what.

23:18Let's see how they did.

23:19Oh!

23:20Oh!

23:21Oh!

23:22Who's first?

23:23Who's first?

23:24Bring up the first artist's body of work.

23:31Wow.

23:32Seven designs.

23:33That's me.

23:34A lot of different styles.

23:35The traditional tattoo looks super traditional.

23:38I like the staggered, the way it fits the head.

23:40All of those colors play so well together.

23:42Cool little deer.

23:43I like the illustrative, bold shadow look.

23:46I love the way the antlers are done.

23:48I love the outline around it.

23:49It's so basic.

23:51Same kind of style.

23:52Big blocky shadows, heavy outline.

23:54Cool little tattoo that's gonna age well.

23:56I love armpit tattoos.

23:57They're fun.

23:58I do like the scenery.

23:59The mountains look cool.

24:00I like the light source.

24:01Little birds.

24:02It's classic.

24:03They fit good on the body.

24:04This artist killed two birds with one machine.

24:06Had to go there.

24:08It's a rose.

24:09Lacks a little contrast.

24:10The center looks unfinished to me.

24:12Every time I was touching the skin, it was getting super crazy red.

24:16Pizza?

24:17Who doesn't love pizza, man?

24:18I like the outline.

24:19I like the colors.

24:20I like the melty cheese dripping off it.

24:22Oh, this is probably my favorite one of the group.

24:24I like all these, except for the rose.

24:26I'm super happy because I thought they would fucking destroy everything.

24:29You can breathe now.

24:31All right, let's see the next artist's body of work.

24:35God damn it.

24:36It's me.

24:37Come on, Kyra.

24:38Oh, here we go.

24:39Come on, Kyra.

24:40It's a wide variety of stuff.

24:41Shows some colors, some black and gray.

24:43I'm not shocked that two people chose the UFO because it's cool.

24:47Oh, look at the alien.

24:48It's cool that he's hiding in there, you know?

24:50I love how they brought in the red from the lights inside to put it up against the beam that comes out.

24:55It's cool to see it in the black and gray.

24:57I liked it better in color for sure.

24:59I like the expression on the little cat's face.

25:01But man, this line work is not good.

25:04It gets fatter and it just wobbles.

25:07The eye is rendered so well.

25:09It's a cool tattoo for the armpit.

25:12The placement is so good.

25:14The purple spiral is kind of cool.

25:16I'm impressed being able to do these nice gradations without anything.

25:19There might be, but they're hidden really well.

25:21Don't even do color.

25:22This one's cool.

25:23I like the contrast in this piece.

25:25I like how heavy the blacks are.

25:27It's really bold and dark.

25:28I don't like the shattered glass.

25:30Is it a heart?

25:31It is a heart.

25:32For me, it's going to look like armpit hair.

25:34Oh, my God.

25:36Next.

25:37Boo!

25:39It looks like a cabbage.

25:40It doesn't have any kind of highlights.

25:42This one just goes dark, dark, dark, and then a background in there that's dark.

25:46Looks like this person has a bruise on their ass.

25:49I'm pretty sure you fought over me to get that last rose.

25:52I did and I regret it.

25:54Let's bring up the next artist.

25:56Who's it going to be?

25:58Oh, shit.

25:59That's me.

26:00I like how it has one color palette that goes across all of these different designs.

26:04Yeah.

26:05I want to see these up close.

26:07Thick lines, solid.

26:08Teeny, teeny, tiny little thin lines on all the rope and everything are just as solid.

26:13Another flower box.

26:14I like the way the rope stands out.

26:16It's really clean and delicate.

26:17I think this is my favorite one of the flowers.

26:19I like how they shaded that dark background into the flower.

26:23Off to a good start.

26:24Yeah.

26:25If you're going to do a black and gray panther, solid, dark, clean, bold, this is the way to do it.

26:30It's super readable.

26:32I like the mouth of this tiger.

26:34This tiger is badass.

26:35I really like the flip in the tongue.

26:36Super dope.

26:37I love this one.

26:39Solid saturation.

26:40Cool color palette.

26:41These classic designs are so cool.

26:44That little bit of pop of red in the cheeks.

26:46Simple gray shading with a bold ass line.

26:49Absolutely on point.

26:50I got an adrenaline rush.

26:51Good job, Seth.

26:52Banging up for the big guy.

26:53Yeah.

26:54All right.

26:55Moving on to the next.

26:57That's me.

26:58Black and gray and color.

27:00It shows adaptability to all styles.

27:03Spider on the head.

27:04The web is too thick.

27:05Spider webs are not black.

27:07They're white.

27:08You can do it with tight lines and gray.

27:09I ain't never did a spider before.

27:11Pearl?

27:12Another spider.

27:13More webs.

27:14Literally nothing changed.

27:15God damn it.

27:17Ooh.

27:18I like a cake.

27:19A little piece of cake.

27:20The strawberry seeds need help.

27:21There's shading on the top of one, not on the bottom.

27:24They just look like they've been in the fridge for a week.

27:26They do.

27:27Or out of the fridge.

27:28I didn't know what the fuck I was doing with that piece of cake.

27:31The cowboy's a lot different.

27:33It looks like it's on paper.

27:34Super nice.

27:35Crazy.

27:36The teeth are sick.

27:37What's up?

27:38Yeah.

27:39Dagger with a rose?

27:40Yeah.

27:41I think it's a dagger with a rose, but I can't tell what's going on.

27:43The silhouette is camouflaged with these leaves in the back.

27:46We got to go past this rose shit.

27:47Traditional skull and rose.

27:49The leaves could have definitely been in a more flattering shape.

27:51Yeah.

27:52It looks like it's on a platter.

27:53Damn, son.

27:54Goldfish.

27:55The scales get a little weird.

27:57They should be more uniform.

27:58Flush it.

27:59The scorpion.

28:02It looks metallic.

28:03The lights and darks are awesome.

28:05I like the tail and the way the white highlights kind of follow the body.

28:08It's a really good looking scorpion.

28:10It's cool that you can pick up the scorpion with the four legs.

28:12It was three, right?

28:13No, it was four.

28:14Oh, he saw it?

28:15This four.

28:16Don't worry about it.

28:17We're moving forward.

28:18This four.

28:19That was their favorite word.

28:20Don't bring it up.

28:21All right.

28:22Let's see the next artist.

28:23It's me.

28:24This is a fun group of tattoos.

28:25And three tattoos were repeated.

28:28Crazy.

28:29The skulls are cool.

28:30I really love the color palette.

28:32The teeth on it's cool, right?

28:33Losing that one eye throws it off a bit for me.

28:36Do both or do none.

28:37And I thought it was like really cool doing a cyborg kind of thing.

28:40Oh, that's on the butt.

28:42I like the stem a lot on the line weight on it.

28:44But the red is not packed in there.

28:46Great.

28:47Comparing apples to apples, I like this one better.

28:50Everything looks a lot more intentional.

28:52Even the contrast with the shadows.

28:53Thank you, Nico.

28:55Cool little cat.

28:56I love the shape of those planes going up the forehead.

29:01I like this one better.

29:02The nose is cute.

29:04I like the green eyes.

29:05They fixed all the little mistakes.

29:08The bandages.

29:10The scrape is cool.

29:11I like the way it's bleeding through.

29:12I like this little stoned devil.

29:15It's like a cereal box character.

29:16I'm putting all my money on Ishnard.

29:18Damn.

29:19We haven't seen black and gray from Ishnard before.

29:21Are you talking about the devil?

29:22If it is Ishnard.

29:23That's my favorite one up there.

29:24Dude, he was just here playing it cool the whole day knowing he had all this shit in his pocket.

29:29Come on, dude.

29:30Like, I'm not going to wait for anything.

29:31I'm just going to throw everything on the table and be like, hey guys, that's it.

29:34Let's bring up the next artist's work.

29:37That's me.

29:38Rip the bandit off, please.

29:40This artist only did black and gray, which is interesting.

29:42The people pick what they want.

29:43I like the sparrow.

29:44I think a clean, bold, traditional sparrow is classic.

29:47I like the boldness, the heavy black.

29:49The bench does.

29:50It's a cool flower.

29:52The flips on the petals themselves, they don't make too much sense.

29:55It looks like a color tattoo that doesn't yet have color in it.

29:58Damn, those gross guys.

30:00This design's not my favorite.

30:02There's a lot going on.

30:03If you're going to go with those slightly heavier lines down the middle, you should go around the outside.

30:08Goddamn.

30:09Another mandala.

30:10This one looks better to me.

30:11Yeah.

30:12Like there's more black.

30:13Sometimes the second time around you make better decisions.

30:15But are they missing lines on the right-hand side on the leaf?

30:18I was rushing.

30:19Quick little rose banger.

30:21I really like the placement.

30:22It frames the kneecap out.

30:24Nice shading in the rose.

30:26All right, thank you.

30:27Woof.

30:28Every single one of those legs are super choppy, super wonky.

30:31Hopefully the centipede doesn't send them home, you know?

30:34I wish I didn't put those mandalas on there.

30:36Why do you do it?

30:37I feel like I forgot the whole placement thing, you know?

30:40At some point, the line work is going to catch up to you, you know?

30:43All right.

30:44Let's bring up the next artist's body of work.

30:47I guess that's me.

30:49Six tattoos.

30:50Looks like two people got the rat.

30:53It's not.

30:54Oh, and the neck.

30:55The neck is so curved.

30:57It makes the snout look really short.

30:59That's why you're getting more of a rat vibe.

31:01This is more fox-like.

31:03I like the browns in the fox.

31:05Real smooth, nice transitions.

31:07Cobra.

31:08On the head.

31:09I wish the pattern on the top of the head was a little more uniform.

31:12The way the tongue crosses, I don't love.

31:14I wish they would have been separate.

31:16I like that part.

31:17Tribal turtle.

31:18It has some style to it.

31:19It has some flow.

31:20It's a hard place to tattoo the armpit.

31:22You know, to get these lines this clean and the gaps that perfect.

31:26Whoever did this does these a lot.

31:28I think I have a guess.

31:29Maybe in Hawaii.

31:30Another turtle I like.

31:32The face in the middle is drawn really well.

31:34And it looks like it has volume and doesn't have no shading in it,

31:37which is really cool to pull off.

31:39Really cool placement.

31:40I like it.

31:41I like how the horns perfectly fit up the sides with the tendon.

31:44This is a great tattoo.

31:46The dragon's so cool.

31:48The dragon's my favorite out of all of them.

31:50In solids.

31:51Let's bring up the next artist's body of work.

31:54Oh.

31:55Oh, these are cool.

31:56That's mine.

31:57Eight tattoos.

31:58Two people chose the seahorse.

32:00I like the line weight on it.

32:01It's real heavy and bold.

32:03The shading's really solid in there.

32:05This is a really nice tattoo.

32:07Black and gray seahorse.

32:09I really like the control of the grays.

32:11The chest is cool too.

32:12It's just that solid black kind of bring your eyes through it.

32:15A little sacred heart.

32:16It's bold, clean, straight to the point.

32:18It's a sticker.

32:19That was my favorite.

32:21It's a great face.

32:23Look at that cool hair.

32:24I like these exaggerated, whimsical curls.

32:27It's a really cool stylized tattoo.

32:29Triple sevens.

32:30I really like how the tip of the seven overlaps the body of the seven.

32:34That's my least favorite part of it.

32:36What?

32:37The one all the way to the left doesn't look like that overlaps as much as the two on the right.

32:41I did that for DJ too, so that's fun.

32:43Three different people chose the butterfly.

32:46Fine line.

32:47Delicate.

32:48I guess there was some more punchy black in there.

32:50They'd get away with all of it if they had the eye really feel like it was a thing.

32:55This eye just feels not important enough in the design.

32:58This is shit.

32:59Just adding that punched in heavier color, it looks a lot better.

33:03A third time's a charm, you know?

33:05It gets better each time it was done.

33:07I still feel like I'm going home.

33:09Come on, the seahorse is good.

33:10Yeah, come on.

33:11Shut up.

33:12Actually, the seahorse looks much better than I remember it looking.

33:15Let's bring up the next artist.

33:18Oh shit, that's me.

33:20These tattoos are tough.

33:21Nothing but tough tattoos up there, you know?

33:23The skeleton's trippy weird.

33:25I love that eyeball.

33:26The teeth, they're great.

33:27This thing is wonky and weird.

33:29It's cool.

33:30And I like it.

33:31I like it.

33:32It's not Japanese.

33:33Panther.

33:34Just black and open skin.

33:35I think that was the way to go on this one.

33:37This shows adaptability and versatility working on darker skin.

33:40Snake head.

33:41I love the flames.

33:42Nice line work.

33:43I like the scales.

33:44Classic weird pit bull head.

33:47I love the contrast between all the shading in the face of the dog

33:50and then this flat collar.

33:52It makes the collar pop.

33:53I can't believe I did three pit bull tattoos though.

33:55That's insanity.

33:56This one's cool.

33:57I don't like it as much.

33:58This one to me gets a little tiger stripey.

34:01Portrait style.

34:02He did a straight up realism dog.

34:04What?

34:05This thing's sick.

34:06I like the texture of all the folds.

34:08Talk about adaptability.

34:10This is so different from every other approach that they've shown us.

34:14I've never tattooed it.

34:15And being able to do it three times in one day was a nice moment.

34:18Yeah, but she also did it fucking good.

34:20Holy shit.

34:21Hell yeah.

34:22Every one of them was solid.

34:23Let's bring up the next artist's body of work.

34:27I wonder who.

34:28Oh yeah.

34:29This one's definitely more feminine.

34:31Got a bit of a girly touch to it.

34:33Let's see this fish.

34:34None of the line work is consistent.

34:38There's absolutely no areas of solid black.

34:41I was shaking real bad.

34:43I definitely prefer this one to the black and gray.

34:46The body is the most confident part where it comes off of dark black and then fades up and shades around.

34:51I'll take this fish.

34:54This is a peacock feather, yeah?

34:55I don't know because peacock feathers are longer.

34:57The actual head of the feather is confusing because it almost looks like a tiger eye or something.

35:03That's what it's supposed to look like.

35:05If you're gonna do a feather like this, at least bring in those thin feather lines to create some sort of texture inside the feather.

35:14See, I like this.

35:15I like the heart.

35:16I like how dark it is.

35:17I like the contrast within it.

35:19The jewel looks cool.

35:21My problem isn't all of the other stuff cluttering up the skull.

35:24They stuck a random thing in the forehead and put some flowers around it.

35:28They shouldn't just be stuck like they're glued to this skull.

35:30It was a bad move.

35:33And a flower.

35:34It has nice flow, fits the ribs really nice.

35:37Delicate, smooth, soft gray in there as well.

35:40Definitely my favorite tattoo out of the pack.

35:43That was that fun.

35:44When I started that first betta fish, I could not stop shaking.

35:48My hands were like this, man.

35:50I think this challenge got a lot of us.

35:52No excuse.

35:53All right, that's it.

35:5510 artists, 71 tattoos.

35:58Yeah.

35:59Two artists are going home.

36:00Judges, it's time to rank the tattoos.

36:03I wonder how they're gonna score this.

36:05Artists, we'll call you in when the results have been tallied.

36:08Oh, man.

36:10There's two people going home.

36:11Feels real.

36:12Sometimes even if you feel like you did enough work,

36:15you don't know if it's enough for them.

36:17So, I'm still stressed.

36:25This week, you had to prove your adaptability.

36:38Tough challenge.

36:39Based on your work, each of your tattoos have been ranked by the judges.

36:44The two artists with the lowest ranked tattoos will be eliminated.

36:48The world is coming.

36:50Good luck.

36:51Yeah, we need it.

36:53Please reveal the highest ranked tattoos.

37:03Yeah.

37:04Wow.

37:05Man.

37:06I did not think these were yours for fucking sure.

37:09Three pipples out of the whole sheet.

37:11For me, that design is like a...

37:13Classic.

37:14It's a classic, right?

37:15You showed us three completely different tattoos

37:18where every single aspect was rendered differently.

37:21And on a day where we're testing you on that,

37:22I think that's really fucking cool.

37:25As you walk into my dad's first tattoo shop,

37:26it's the first flash that you see.

37:28It's like my earliest memory of a tattoo.

37:30So, I was just like,

37:31Dude, this is so fun.

37:33Congratulations, Matt.

37:34You are safe from elimination.

37:36Oh, big dog.

37:38Bye, thanks.

37:40Big dog's back.

37:41Big dog.

37:42He's joining me up here.

37:44There was a tie for the second highest ranked tattoos.

37:50That's crazy.

37:51I didn't expect a tie.

37:53Please reveal the first artist

37:55that was tied for the second highest ranked tattoos.

38:02Yes, sir.

38:03Good job.

38:04Big dog.

38:05Thanks, guys.

38:06These tattoos are sick, Seth.

38:08All these are really consistent and really nice.

38:11Congratulations.

38:12You are safe from elimination.

38:15Welcome to safety.

38:16Yes.

38:18I want to do this next.

38:20Please reveal the second artist that tied for the second highest ranked tattoos.

38:29Yes.

38:30Hell yeah.

38:31Hell yeah.

38:32I love these.

38:33Every single one of these tattoos is fun, vibrant, bright.

38:38Each one was cool and unique across the board.

38:41Congratulations, Ishnar.

38:42You are safe from elimination.

38:46Oh, Ishnar.

38:47Well done.

38:48Well done.

38:49Stop this dog.

38:50Please reveal the fourth highest ranked tattoos.

38:59Luka.

39:02Luka can do traditional?

39:07You showed us everything on the entire spectrum.

39:09Traditional, black and gray realism, full color.

39:12It was amongst the most versatile.

39:14Thank you very much.

39:15Congratulations.

39:16You are safe from elimination.

39:19Thank you, girl.

39:21I didn't know that was on.

39:22Oh, what's up?

39:25Please reveal the fifth highest ranked tattoos.

39:35Oh.

39:36Yes.

39:37Yes, man.

39:39You killed it.

39:40Solid line work.

39:41Nice shading.

39:42Just an overall cool vibe throughout all your pieces.

39:45Congratulations, Ali.

39:46You are safe from elimination.

39:48I'm so proud of you.

39:53Please reveal the sixth highest ranked tattoos.

40:03Boom.

40:04Stop playing with me, boy.

40:05I knew it.

40:06I knew it.

40:07What y'all talking about?

40:08Stop playing.

40:09I knew it was you because of the dagger on the ass.

40:13This ain't all about right.

40:15Eight tattoos in 12 hours.

40:16This whole set shows a ton of versatility.

40:19You adapted to the challenge really, really well.

40:21This is a win, man.

40:23Congratulations, Boucher.

40:24You are safe from elimination.

40:26What?

40:27What?

40:28What?

40:29Oh, my God.

40:30Oh, my God.

40:31Oh, my God.

40:35Six artists are safe from elimination.

40:38Four artists remain.

40:40Two of you will be packing your machines.

40:43It's now time to reveal the artists with the lowest ranked tattoos.

40:50The artists whose tattoos appear on the screen will be eliminated.

40:54I've seen it coming.

41:06I just got so in my head about which way to go with everything.

41:10In this competition, it's really hard because we get thrown things that we never do.

41:15This is something that I'm sure you don't do back at home with doing walk-ins.

41:19This competition's a bitch, dude.

41:21It takes a lot of good artists out before their time.

41:24It's been an amazing experience, and that, for me, was the main thing that I wanted.

41:29Tenille, you do not have what it takes to be Ink Master.

41:33You're an incredible artist with an immense amount of talent.

41:36Thanks, Ryan.

41:37Please pack your machines and close shop.

41:40Not without a hug.

41:45I think I definitely got in my head, but I don't believe in regrets.

41:49And it's better to regret something you've done than something you haven't done.

41:52Love you, Tenille.

41:53See ya.

41:55I'm excited to get back home to take everything that I've learned and start applying it.

42:00I'm gonna become an even better artist than I was before I left to come here.

42:07OJ, Kyra, and Kayahi.

42:15Based on your tattoos, one of you will be eliminated.

42:20It is now time to reveal the artist with the second lowest ranked tattoos.

42:26Good luck, fam.

42:27Good luck.

42:28Good luck.

42:29Good luck.

42:30I know.

42:31The artist whose tattoos appear on the screen will be eliminated.

42:37Oh, man.

42:38That means, OJ, you do not have what it takes to be Ink Master.

42:56You know, it sucks to go out on something like this.

42:59I had a strategy of appealing to as many people as possible.

43:02It didn't work out the way I anticipated.

43:05It's tough, but you're not going out on bad tattoos.

43:08This was a tough challenge.

43:09Keep killing that black and gray, man, and just do you.

43:13Please pack your machines and close shop.

43:16This competition definitely takes you out of your comfort zone.

43:18I'm proud of myself for even coming.

43:19I did something I never thought I would ever do.

43:20Ever.

43:21I love you guys.

43:22I'll see you.

43:23I know I have the skill, and I know I have the vision, and I know I have the confidence

43:30now.

43:31Whatever challenge comes next in my life, I'm ready to take it on.

43:36On the next episode of Ink Master.

43:43I didn't know it took three brains to fuck something up.

43:46I'm about to make you eat sand.

43:48Oh, my God.

43:49How about you come do the highlights?

43:51I didn't trust you doing this.

43:53Damn, but I tripped it.

43:54Artists, the heat is on.

43:56Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

43:58I mean, I've seen that coming.

44:00Fuck.

44:06...

44:29...

44:34You
