Last week the flash challenge winner was Kay but he didn’t get to take advantage of his prize as his canvas chose him. The American Traditional challenge proved to be difficult once again as the judges couldn’t even pick a winner as they were all unworthy. Ron was sent packing even though he probably didn’t deserve it.

The remaining contestants walk back into the loft where Mark and Kay loudly comment on how they dodged bullets and had their asses handed to them. Tatu Fatty starts complaining about something, it’s very hard to understand her, but I think it was about all the pressure they are under and how no one can be expected to be perfect all the time. Sarah starts getting annoyed and interviews that she doesn’t understand why Fatty is throwing a hissy fit like a brat because if you are good, then you are good or some bullshit. Seriously Sarah practice toning down your face for the future, I know you can’t help it in the meantime as this was all already taped.

The Flash Challenge is an actual tattoo challenge with guest judge and reality show whore Matt Barnes. The theme of the week is color so the artists will be split into two groups and each will have 90 minutes to tattoo flash art that Chris and Oliver drew. Flash art is meant to be done quickly and will test the artists ability to quickly color and create a great piece. Sarah…seriously, this is a Sarah heavy episode you guys. I am so sorry and will try to refrain from posting her face. I wouldn’t want to scare you. Round 1 will tattoo a lotus flower in water while Round 2 will tattoo a skull with a top hat. The winners of each round will then face off in another flash art round to determine the winner.

For the color challenge, they really should have sent home the person who did the worst color job. Not the person who had a crappy design (which wasn’t really his fault to being with since the client wanted that particular design and would have chewed his head off if he gave her something different).
*begin… grr typos
Also, I wonder who ends up in the hospital on the next episode.
ok, looking at those Gypsy heads side-by-side (thanks for that, btw) makes me see Tray’s is a cartoon and looks awful compared to Sarah’s.
Sure, hers might have to be re-touched later and some extra color added but I’d rather have that, than some gypsy with colors that could never be re-touched, because she’s wearing a gallon of blush, eyeshadow, and those stars look like flies around her head. The angle on it also looks like she’s mounted on a wall like a deer.
I’m glad Sarah redeemed herself, I voted for Jesse’s kid with guitar tattoo…it was pretty cool, and there were some good shades and details in there.
I didn’t like Tray’s Gypsy Girl either.
She looked more like an old gypsy whore that was rode hard and put up wet for many many many many years.
Sarah’s looked like a young, beautiful girl, and I loved the slight angle she put on the head so it was looking upwards. I don’t feel sorry that she lost though, because her face is scary.
She has a bully’s face.
If Sid from Toy Story had a twin sister, it would be Sarah.
And it made me laugh that the worst insult she could fling at Kay Kutta before fleeing was that he’s a dick. Because I’m sure he hasn’t heard anything worse than that before.
Nick’s client’s clothes were all like three sizes too small.
Things were just falling out and bulging all over the damn place.
She and Tatu Baby probably shop together.
And I liked Sebastian, but that comment about deliberately hurting clients to make them shut up was so upsetting. What kind of savage ass shit is that? And why would he think that was okay to do, not to mention admit to doing on national/international tv?
And these are people who are paying him. Even if they are assholes, they are paying assholes. You can’t hurt them. How did he even come up with that? My eyes got so big when he admitted that shit, and then to defend it. Omg, he’s dead to me.
I liked Lalo’s tattoo, but it really did need some bright color. Especially given the skin tone of the girl that he got. A really bright, punchy palate would have looked beautiful on her.
Vagina tattoo was really anticlimactic. It was more of a mons pubis tattoo, which is not a big deal.
Next time we are promised a vagina tattoo, I better see some feet in stirrups.
Clint has grown on me a bit. When he came skipping into judging and then when he jumped in front of the judges, I had to laugh. So silly.
Clint is either a complete wuss about pain, or he was just scared of screwing up in such a visible spot. I have a head tattoo and it was the least painful one I’ve ever done.
^ People have different thresholds of pain, and where you get the tattoo done on your head/the size of the tattoo also makes a difference, I’m sure. Plus, the vibrations of the machine can be disturbing in their own way.
Last year, this guy wanted a tribal headpiece, and Bili (the artist) couldn’t finish it because his canvas was starting to pass out.
Sooo….yeah. Your experience is probably not typical.
I guarantee that no girl or woman in the world has EVER had her vagina tattooed! The reason is that the VAGINA is inside the body, and it always HAS been!
I suspect this is simply further proof that most men don’t have a clue about a woman’s anatomy.
Aw Clint’s my bby. I heart that little asshole so much. Represent Texas, boy! And Sarah was really freaky this episode, girl needs to calm herself.
But Kay needs to shut up. Just shut up. Like anyone’s going to take him seriously after he called Nick a “young, stupid idiot”? Best you could do, huh Kay? I’m still Team Clint because seriously, why isn’t anyone else impressing me???? And can I have a pocket Oliver? That little beaver is just too cute.
@chaosbutterfly…..your comments cracked me up! I just realized we got screwed out of a “promised” vagina tatt. All we got was a bird crop-dusting some flames on a pubic bone. no fair!
Also, regarding the skull tatts, the more I look at it, the more I like Lalo’s! I love the colors….very old school looking. His mermaid idea was cool, but I do think it should have been slightly bigger and way more colorful.
Also, yes I love me some Sebastian but he came across like an a-hole after his comments. I like Mark for calling him out on it, too.
I disagree about Ron maybe not deserving to be ousted. The judges pointed out that he managed to harm the skin of two of his canvases already this season. Wounding people is always a good reason to give someone the boot.
Clint is the funniest character and I like Matt too. Hopefully both of them stick around for a while and get a lot more airtime than Klaycutter.
I definitely liked Sarah’s gypsy girl MUCH MORE than Tray’s. His gypsy was BUSTED. That being said, Sarah has the scariest facial expressions.
