The artists must envision a tattoo that literally comes to life using cutting edge animation technology. Famed tattooer Miya Bailey meets the artists at Universal Studios for a Flash Challenge that's larger than life.

New host Pete Wentz welcomes 12 of the country's best tattoo artists to compete for the cover and feature spread in Tattoo Magazine and $100,000.

The artists discover that there is more than one way to tell a story when they're faced with creating a tattoo using a controversial medium. Music recording artist Ray J drops by in the mysterious Flash Challenge.

In their third challenge, the artists are paired up to create tattoos for family members who want to commemorate a shared emotional experience. Guest stars Angela and Vanessa Simmons push the artists to put their best foot forward, challenging them to ink shoe designs in the Flash Challenge.

Judge Joe Capobianco's famous style of "Blood Puddin" tattoos are featured in this week's Ink Challenge as the artists attempt to impress him. Hannah Aitchison is lead judge in a sky-high Flash Challenge where the artists ink their work on airplanes.

The three remaining artists tattoo familiar skins as old customers return to the chair. After a surprise elimination, the final two artists ink masterpieces on celebrity guests Travie McCoy and AJ McLean, but only one artist will be crowned Best Ink.
