Three of the most skilled Ink Masters return to coach teams of the nation's top tattoo artists for a chance at $100,000 and the title of Ink Master.

Precision is tested when the artists must create designs using hole punches, and one coach steps up when a difficult canvas bows out of the Elimination Tattoo.

The coaches must lead by example when they're tasked to ink beneath the chin in the Flash Challenge, and the artists push the envelope with undead-style Elimination Tattoos.

The Masters must coach their team through the season's first Flash Challenge, and a maze Elimination Tattoo puts the artists' grasps of the fundamentals to the test.

Team dynamics are tested in a collaborative tag-team Elimination Tattoo focusing on anatomy and consistency, and the coaches make a difficult decision.

The devil is in the details when the artists must tattoo intricate, technicolor hot-air balloons.
