The judges walk around and look at all the work noting that Kay did better waves than Clint. This provokes Clint to say that the competition wasn’t about who could color a wave better but color in general. Steve is pissed that Tray got complimented because he feels like he should have been doing a good job the entire time. Busta fucks around with Nick as he tats to try and throw him off again…getting old at this point Predator. Round 1 goes to Tray and Round 2 goes to Sarah who FREAKS out that she won to the point that Oliver was trying to hold back giggles. She gets into Tray’s face shit talking about how he’s going down and how she has this because color is her thing. The piece they have to tat is a gypsy woman and they get 60 minutes this time.

Sarah (L) Tray (R)
Tray and Sarah get started on their tattoos and midway through Mark and some of the others come take a look at Tray’s work. They give him little hints and a heads up on the time left. This pisses off Sarah who wonders why she isn’t getting any help from the others. They are probably scared to death of your face at this point and no one likes you, duh. The judges discuss the pieces and Chris notes that almost all of the artists are scared of black which would have helped pop the colors. He then accuses Tray of creating his piece in a way that impressed only Oliver. I would do what I could to impress his ass too, it’s all good Tray. Oliver isn’t too impressed with Sarah’s because he knows it will have to be redone in a few years while the others really like Tray’s piece.

Tray ends up winning the round and then says it feels incredible to beat Sarah at something she thinks she is great at. Sarah, on the other hand, goes to the staircase to cry because she let herself down. At the loft, Kay starts in on Sarah saying she can’t handle the pressure. Sarah says she is better than Kay who replies that they are sitting next to each other and on the same level. Kay brings over Tray to re-enact Sarah getting in his face that she would win. She says she was just playing when she did that but once Kay tells her that she wasn’t playing when she lost she gets up and cusses him out and calls him a dick before walking off. Now who throws tantrums? As she walks away they all yell “Pressure” at her while Kay says that people like her lose because they can’t handle it. The artists all meet with the judges to find out what the Elimination Challenge is and when it is Tray’s turn to pick the canvas’ we get the infamous “bird shooting fire from my vagina” chick in the trailer. There is also a guy who wants a head tattoo which leaves Clint remarking that it is insane of them to want that and that it hurts and he knows this from experience. Tray’s strategy is to pair people with work that he believes they will excel at because he wants the victory to be that much sweeter. As the canvas’ announce who they will work with, there is a drum roll before vagina girl reveals that Jamie will work on her.

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.
