A human canvas losing consciousness may cause a tattooist to be kicked out of the competition in the upcoming episode of Spike's "Ink Master," Cartermatt reports.
In "Problem Parts," the contestants will be tasked to create tattoos on challenging body parts. TV Guide reveals that this will cause panic among them, while one of the artists will take the opportunity to take revenge. To top it all off, naked models will be tapped to create illusions. Will this challenge prove to be too difficult for everyone?
Last episode, the remaining fifteen artists were grouped in teams of three to adorn a sarcophagus at the Brooklyn Museum. They were given only four hours to finish the job. Almost all teams had difficulty accomplishing the task, as the designs were either too modern or too sloppy. At the end, it came down to two groups — Matt, Chris, and Dave vs. Duffy, Erik, and St. Marq. Matt.
Judges declared the former's work good, but the lack of eyebrows was a tad distracting. While Duffy, Erik, and St. Marq's design was simple, it was by far the cleanest. In the end, they were declared the winners of the Flash Challenge and got the huge advantage of assigning the next elimination's canvases.
Their choice is to test the rest of the contestant's attention to detail. Three artists would go head-to-head against each other while creating a single design of an ancient Egyptian a human canvas chose. With only six hours to accomplish the task, most of the artists showed traces of strain.
Marisa cracked under pressure after knowing that Erik chose to match her up against veteran Chris. Meanwhile, Kito lost an hour after his canvas demanded he start over with the design. MV was teamed up with an obstinate canvas and Kruseman had trouble fitting the image to the small space indicated by his canvas.
After deliberation, the weakest tattoos were announced — MV's, Marisa's, and Kito's. However, it was MV's bizarre-looking Sphinx that sent him packing for home.
"Ink Master" airs at 10 p.m. EST on Spike.
