The Artists must transform scars into works of art in an emotional Elimination Tattoo. 3 Artists must prove their ingenuity in a Face Off for survival. The battle for $250,000 continues.

Things get sticky in the final Flash Challenge. Micro realistic postage stamp tattoos put the Artists’ precision under a microscope. They’d better deliver - or their shot at the title could get lost in the mail.

15 Artists from across the globe fight to represent their hometowns. But before they can battle for $250,000 and the title of Ink Master, they must first earn their place in the competition. Part 1 of a 2-part premiere.

With a spot in the finale on the line, the remaining Artists take aim, designing tattoos meant to take each other down. A single misfire could turn triumph into tragedy and send someone packing right before the finish line.

In a team Flash Challenge, the Artists must paint with smoke. Glitter tattoos on the stomach have them struggling to shine, and an unexpected twist makes winning Tattoo of the Day more important than ever.

The fight for a shop continues as the Artists replicate animals from their hometowns but for some, it’s back to the drawing board. The battle for $250,000 and the title of Ink Master is just beginning.
