(Transcrito por TurboScribe. Actualizar a Ilimitado para eliminar este mensaje.) This season on Ink Master, America's best shots

are going to war.

The stakes are a lot higher than ever

before.

We've never given out $200,000.

We've never had shots battling out.

There's a lot on the line for the

reputation of the shop, but I also think

this is a great advantage.

Shots will live and die as a pair.

If they're smart and they come in with

someone who has what they don't have, those

are the teams that are really going to

shine.

As they face off in extreme challenges, it's

designed to expose the weak.

We're done.

Chill the f*** out.

You're representing your whole business.

You come in here and you screw up

this time, you're not just screwing up yourself.

Do you think that he has what it

takes to carry you to the end?

I'm a better tattooer than all you guys

put together.

You put a f***ing tattoo on her forever.

It's on her forever.

Alliances will form.

If we help each other make it to

the finale, then it's like fair game.

And bonds will break.

F*** you.

I'm coming for your f***ing neck every time.

You are not f***ing listening.

This is a $200,000 tattoo.

If you can't do it, get the f***

out.

I'll f***ing tattoo myself.

One by one, pairs will be eliminated.

These teams are only as good as the

weaker one.

You have to start your journey in the

right direction to make it to the end.

Until only the best shot remains.

Tim, he's out.

For a team to win here, you're going

to have to dance on each other's toes.

Earning a $200,000 prize.

And for the first time ever, the title

of Master Shop.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

This is

insane.

For the first time in Ink Master history,

you have each come here with a fellow

artist from your tattoo shop to prove that

your shop is the best.

You will succeed as a team, and you

will fail as a team.

This is crazy.

Win, and you both win.

But lose, and you're both out.

This is no longer a solo sport.

This is two people being able to work

together.

Any miscommunication could cost us the title.

The last shop standing will win $200,000,

a feature in Inked Magazine, and the title

of Ink Master.

That is a bigger prize than I was

expecting.

$200,000, we could pay off our student

loans.

But that's not all.

Your shop will also earn the first ever

title of Master Shop.

When you go to businesses that have the

stickers that says, like, best in the city,

you're like, damn, I want to go do

that.

So if we have a thing that said,

we are Master Shop, that's pretty cool.

We have to win Master Shop.

It's a brand new tattoo shop.

We're putting ourselves on the map for the

world.

Winning this would be a huge stepping stone

to make the Mark Society a household name

in the industry.

Your first opportunity to win starts right here,

right now, by winning your first flash challenge.

We are at the Frozen Carnival in Ice

at Skyland Stadium.

And you're surrounded by more than 100 tons

of ice.

That's a lot of ice.

For your first flash challenge, you must create

a sculpture that represents your shop out of

a block of ice.

I'm a tattoo artist.

Ice?

Pics?

Hell no.

Everything in this competition depends on you guys

working together.

You're representing for yourselves, and you're representing for

where you work.

These flash challenges are not made to be

easy.

But if you're a true artist, you can

make art out of anything.

This is your chance to get a leg

up on the competition.

This is your chance to intimidate the other

players.

This is your chance to bond as a

team.

Start today.

Start hard.

Win, and you'll receive a huge advantage.

You have four hours, and your time starts

now.

Let's do it.

All right, Bubba.

All right.

You're representing your whole business.

You come in here, and you screw up

this time, you're not just screwing up yourself.

What are you thinking?

I was thinking some kind of robot, then

his hand up here.

For this first challenge, what we're looking for

is someone to be creative, and work together,

and do the best they can at something

they've never done before.

So what was your idea?

I'm thinking about doing a koi fish.

If these people have a problem working together,

right off the bat, they shouldn't have come

here together.

One of my ideas was to incorporate the

logo in there somewhere.

I don't want to force anything extra.

I should mimic what you're doing on the

other side, right?

Yeah, I mean, any force you want.

We were thinking the best thing to do

would be to cut out the bigger pieces

first.

I got to do the top, because they're

all short and whatnot.

I really like working with my significant other.

A little ball and chain.

You're my ball and chain.

I like your ball and chain.

That's not a good thing to say.

All I want to see is this damn

fin.

And you said it's going like that.

I'm not sure yet.

Bang is a hard ass.

I had no idea that we were literally

going to be doing everything together.

You're telling me we need to start building

these fins now, before we go any lower.

We don't even have the fin, or this.

We don't have none of that yet.

We're not there yet.

We're not on the same page, obviously.

If we're going to carve out an inch,

we need to plan to have this left

over for the fin.

He has this idea and this vision, and

I'm just not seeing it right now.

This is going to be this.

Look at the perspective.

Two more hours remaining.

Two more.

Just remember, no risk, no reward.

We got this.

I definitely feel like we're underestimated being two

females in the tattoo industry, which is totally

male dominated.

But that just puts the fuel in the

fire.

I mean, if we can come out of

here winning the first flash challenge.

Dude, that would be so dope.

The tail feathers can only go so far,

because there's only so much ice.

As long as the effect is there, you

know?

Yeah.

Jim and I have only worked together for

maybe five months.

We're going to be learning a lot about

each other as this competition progresses.

I'm known in the industry for having a

lot of detail in my tattoos.

How about we just get done everything on

here first, and then if there's time, then

you can experiment.

And then we can give it a crown.

Erin is my boss.

She has a decade more experience.

But your experience doesn't matter.

What matters is how you're going to navigate

this competition.

I'm just going to cut in as much

as I can.

OK.

And, yeah, we'll see.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Oh, no.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just mashed my hand.

I love working together.

He's my best friend.

Oh, yeah, I'm OK.

He's my co-worker.

I'd kind of like to round this stuff

off.

OK.

He's my husband.

I do neo-traditional tattoos, but I can

make a clean, solid tattoo in every style.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Oh, my god.

Are they flower buds?

Yeah, they're flower buds.

How the fuck did you do that?

I figured out that I could make some

roses on the inside of the eyes.

I should do one more over here, right?

I don't think we should worry about filling

it, because we don't want it to be

super cluttered.

I specialize in a lot of illustrative tattooing

with a very strong traditional background.

With our powers combined, we could be an

unstoppable force.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

That is it.

Time is up.

No more sculpting.

All right.

First I sculpted.

Bam!

Hit it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

All right.

Pins and needles.

It is now time to critique your work.

Talk to me about your design.

Some love goes into all of our work

that we do.

We're all about heart.

I like how recognizable it is right off

the bat.

There's some very small little veins in some

of the ventricles up top that are nice,

but the big veins down to the center,

very smooth, very well done.

This is a way to really come out

swinging and start off on the right foot.

Unkindness art.

You created one large image that's incredibly readable

with various textures.

You guys put everything together.

You put everything you had into creating a

piece of art that's risky.

To see what you're able to do with

a tattoo machine is going to be exciting.

I look forward to seeing it.

Thank you.

Thicker than blood.

This is a strong image, and it's powerful,

and that's what we are at the shop.

Looks like it's a Hanya mask.

The anatomy is a little bit off.

There's no forehead, and it's all chin.

Artistic skin design.

You guys really put a lot of time

into the beveling, and especially you took a

lot of time, more detail in the mouth

to get that deep setback mouth with the

teeth.

Value and effort for a new medium.

Next up is Black Anchor.

Everybody went pretty 3D, and y'all went

totally flat.

Being the first challenge out of the gate,

take the brakes off.

You gotta go, man.

Go, go, go.

Everybody knows who Carlos is.

He's very popular on the internet.

I was expecting to be wowed by their

eye sculpture, and it was literally a little

flat.

Next up is the Mark Society.

What better than a tattoo machine?

It's super clean and legible, but what's super

impressive is how straight and precise you were

able to make each line in this piece.

Thank you, thank you.

Allegory Arts.

How does this identify your shop?

It's clearly the logo, correct?

It is.

It's also the state of Alabama, which is

where our shop is.

The creativity of using the shape of the

state as a whole block, adding the tip

and the top of the flowers poking out

through it, the way you put the flower

in the background by impressing it in so

you see it from the front is very

nice.

The craftsmanship is very well done.

Wow, thank you very much.

Classic Trilogy Tattoo.

We're pretty much like a big nerd shop,

so everything we do is just pop culture

and fun.

It's a big, cool, fun image.

You really got the shape of the ice

to become what it is, and that really

stands out, and it's bold and strong.

Tri-Cities Tattoo.

I could definitely tell it's a fish, but

it is a little bit hard to see

exactly what's going on.

Seems like there's a lot of ice that

you just took away and then a lot

of ice that you didn't use.

Got you.

Tri-Cities look like a damn beach whale.

I don't know what the hell they were

going for.

Today's first flash challenge, the stakes are a

lot higher than ever before because we've never

given out $200,000.

We've never had shops battling out.

There's a lot on the line for the

reputation of the shop, but I also think

this is a great advantage.

If they're smart and they come in with

someone who has what they don't have, those

are the teams that are really going to

shine.

I was pretty impressed with Allegory Arts.

You know, they really used a lot of

different techniques.

They did a couple little trick effects that

just really set them apart.

I also think that Pins and Needles did

a great job with the anatomical heart.

Their piece was probably the most legible piece.

One shop that did a really great job

in terms of using the entire block of

ice was Unkindness Arts.

That is a sculpture, a bird from every

angle you look at it.

We're all pretty agreed, yeah?

Yeah, got it.

Let's let them know.

Today at Skyland Stadium, some shops made a

strong first impression.

The judges have decided the winner of the

first flash challenge is Allegory Arts.

Brad, you used a lot of different techniques,

and it really spelled out your logo to

the team.

Congratulations, Ulyss and Eva.

This week, your shop is safe from elimination.

Oh, they're safe?

That sucks.

Everything about their sculpture was half thought until

they did that cool little trick there at

the end.

But tricks don't get you through this competition.

Throughout this competition, you'll see that the flash

challenges can drastically affect the outcome of who

goes home and who lives to fight another

day.

And that's why we're putting you to the

test right out of the gate, because your

day is not over.

Load up.

We're heading to your next flash challenge right

now.

Oh my god, another one?

I don't even feel my hands.

Damn, I'm tired.

I was ready to go home and defrost.

Let's hit the road.

Ah!

What is happening?

Are they trying to kill us?

Yeah, we're fucking dead.

If you can't draw, you don't stand a

chance.

Oh, shit.

If you can't get the proportions right, it's

a no go.

We're doing what?

Why did it have to be snakes?

All right, Allegory Arts, your shop won the

first flash challenge and is safe from elimination.

Awesome.

You will not compete in this challenge.

All right.

Hopefully, that lit a fire for the rest

of you, because the next flash challenge starts

right now.

We're cold.

We're covered in ice.

But on kindness art, we're going to soldier

on, because that's what we do.

You must make a sign that says your

shop's name in custom lettering out of metal.

Lettering can go wrong real quick.

If everything's not consistent, the lines are shaky,

if it doesn't have a nice flow to

it, it's not going to look right.

First, you'll create a mold by carefully carving

your design into plaster.

Then, you must pour hot liquid metal into

the mold to make the sign.

What is happening?

Are they trying to kill us?

It's day one.

Definitely want to see your shop's name, but

we definitely want to see some design elements

with it.

Come out really showing art.

Be different.

Stand out.

We expect to see more than what we're

used to.

Two heads should work better than one.

Oh, yeah.

Win, and your shop will also be safe

from elimination.

Oh, my god, look at this.

You have three hours to create a custom

sign, and your time starts now.

Get the way.

Lettering is definitely difficult in general.

You got to make use of the whole

space.

Don't worry, Elijah.

Trust me.

But to have to carve it into plaster,

and then pour metal into it?

I'm totally, like, digging, like, the West Coast

-style script.

All right, cool.

This is a challenge that could come out

great or go sour really quick.

We're doing multiple sketches this time.

OK, that's fine.

Let's see what you're thinking.

Our strategy is show people what classic trilogy

is.

80s mixtape?

Exactly.

Like, that is us.

We are children of the 80s.

That's nostalgia.

You like it?

Yeah.

Tom and I work well together because we're

like an old married couple.

He's a grumpy old man, and I'm the

nagging wife.

Less is more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've been tattooing for 12 years now.

And I've been an artist my entire life.

I would definitely say we probably have the

most lines in anyone here right now.

I specialize in new school.

So you really are going to get something

that pops, something that really stands out.

Yeah, go for it.

We're coming into this guns blazing.

About time some nerds won.

Yeah, there we go.

That's a big ass lion.

Everybody else seems to just be focusing on

the font.

Nobody else is doing an image.

I love lettering, and I feel like I

can kill it.

But I'd rather go for creativity today.

Bang doesn't see the design the same way

I see it.

Traxxas needs to be legible.

It needs to be, like, in your face.

If this is how she's going to be,

then we're in real trouble.

All right, guys, two more hours.

We're real behind.

I know.

We will have to, like, split sides and

get this done.

Dream and I have different strengths than weaknesses.

He's better at lettering than I am.

But I'm better at spelling than he is.

That's so true.

I fully trust your abilities.

Well, that makes one of us.

I don't know if you're doing it, but

it's easier with both hands.

Artistic skin designs is a street shop.

We're already used to taking whatever somebody throws

at us.

You've got to be quick on your feet.

I specialize in hard work, working to get

whatever needs to be achieved.

I have more of, like, a realistic illustrative

style.

Me and Dean are pretty good at everything.

Make sure you do it down there, too.

This is your final hour.

This is tricky.

This is the most important part, so just

go.

I think it's a lot of risk that

we've taken.

You cannot really tell how it's going to

come out.

You're working blind.

Good, good, good, good.

That's it.

Molten metal.

Sweet.

I know we got this shit in the

bag.

Oh, what happened here?

You're a laughing piece.

Well, that's a fucking bustle.

Ah, well, that's not good.

That is not what we expected.

My heart drops.

All I see is this giant chunk of

drywall.

Uh, so how the hell are we going

to get this thing out of here?

Lord knows, man.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

That is it.

Time is up.

I'm out.

I'm out.

Yeah, we're fucked.

All right, artists, it is now time to

critique your work.

Pins and needles.

It looks like you had a really rough

time.

It lacks consistency.

The filigree is haphazardly thrown in there.

I wish we had more time.

Yeah, definitely.

Time is the killer.

Artistic skin designs.

So much of that background makes it a

little bit harder to read.

Halfway through, we were like, maybe we made

it a little too busy.

What I really like what you did here

is you used the shape of the sign.

And in the lettering, it is very consistent.

It just got a little lost.

Thicker than blood.

Pretty illegible.

The N on than is backwards.

And it looks like it says blue.

The number one rule of signage for a

business would be legibility.

So this one is just the opposite of

what we'd want to see.

Black anchor collective.

Nothing's worse than misspelling your own shop name.

I know we messed up, and we should

have caught that.

Yeah.

On a positive note, the anchor's the best

penmanship and craftsmanship we've seen so far out

of any of the pieces.

Unfortunately, it just doesn't say what you need

it to say.

Like, for real, do you know how to

spell black?

Black.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

The Merck Society.

The bottom filigree is really, really nice.

The top right filigree just looks like y

'all ran out of time.

It was definitely a pain in the ass.

If you don't have time to finish it,

don't even start it.

Unkindness art.

It does not look like you struggled with

this at all.

The line work in the filigree looks seamless.

The lettering is not the typical tattoo style

lettering.

Stepping it up a notch is a good

thing.

Classic trilogy tattoo.

Oh, my god.

So what you don't see is an old

80s cassette tape under there.

Just something happened pouring the molten where it

got infused with the drywall.

You totally botched it.

There's nothing really to judge.

I think the saying that we have here

is go big and go home.

Tri-Cities tattoo.

It's very legible, very sign-worthy.

From a distance, you can read it.

I like the way that the actual face

looks as a pounded metal sculptor feel to

it.

It reads well.

Well done, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Generally, after a flash challenge, the judges go

and deliberate to give out a win.

But I think today, it's pretty clear who

took this one down.

The judges have decided the winner of this

flash challenge is Unkindness Art.

Thank you.

You guys really had solid design to start

with, good concept, and very clean delivery.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That means Unkindness Art and Allegory Arts are

both safe from elimination this week.

For the rest of you, that was your

last chance to gain an advantage.

I'm pissed.

We needed this.

It's not fair.

Head to the shop and get ready for

your first elimination tattoo.

For one shop, it will also be your

last.

Holy heavens, we're making it.

Wow.

Oh, my god.

Yo, this is dope.

Pins and needles up on a wall.

This is crazy.

Two of us in one chair.

Oh, that's interesting.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

Welcome to the Ink Master Shop.

Allegory Arts and Unkindness Art, you've each won

a flash challenge, so your shops are safe

from elimination.

But the rest of you, based on your

work today, one shop will lose their shot

at $200,000 and the first ever title

of Master Shop.

For your first elimination tattoo, you must draw

your tattoo using only live reference.

What the fuck?

Let's bring him in.

Oh, my god.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, my god.

Holy fuck.

I'm afraid of snakes.

Why did it have to be snakes?

Oh.

Oh, my god.

Get the fuck out of here.

Are you serious?

A hawk, really?

You better keep that thing on a leash.

Oh.

Oh.

Wait, wait.

Oh, shit.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Don't be moving.

Whoa.

Gators.

Seen plenty of them.

Don't want to get near them and draw

them.

You will have six hours to tattoo in

any style you choose.

And your canvases are completely open.

But you must use one of these animals

and no other reference.

Only using live reference?

It's so unpredictable.

You can't draw what you see if it's

moving constantly.

The strength of your shop as a team

will determine your success or failure in this

competition.

And for this tattoo, you will be tag

teaming.

Your shop will create one tattoo on the

same canvas.

Only one of you can tattoo at a

time, and you must switch artists every hour.

We're doing what?

Me and Dave have never tag teamed on

a tattoo.

Oh.

Dave has his style, and I have my

style.

My heart just dropped a little bit.

Based on your work, one shop will be

packing their machines.

We're judging this as one finished piece.

We're going to judge the overall tattoo like

one person did it.

Today, what I really want to see is

who can actually look at these things and

make a beautiful tattoo directly out of them

without telling me it's new school or it's

my style.

I'm not interested.

I'm just being honest.

Are we able to add more elements like

textures or different coloring that we're not seeing

in our reference?

Show me you can draw.

Let's just say if I want to make

the head bigger and push the body towards

the back, I don't need to just copy

the same reference.

If you stretch it all out because you

can't get the proportions right, it's a no

-go.

Your canvases have been randomly assigned.

Head to your shops and get ready.

We'll send them in.

Good luck.

For the first elimination tattoo, it's all about

their artistic abilities.

No tracing, no photos, artist, hand, pencil, paper.

Being able to draw something from life, you

should be able to do it or you

shouldn't be here.

Can you hold the head?

It's eight times harder to draw animals.

Animals do whatever the hell they want to

do.

Stupid bird.

Turns his head this way.

Turns his head this way.

He's got his head backwards.

He's got his head tilted.

Stay still, stupid bird.

I'm trying to draw you.

Like, we do the snake.

We twist it, attack you.

I curl the body a bit.

Attacking, or you want to do it like

the reference?

You got to have that in mind.

No, yeah, but I will use the reference.

I'm just going to show a bit more.

I trust my teammate, and if he thinks

the snake is going to impress the judges,

then I'm going to go with that.

My strongest suit is definitely black and gray

realism.

But I like doing everything.

I mean, a snake can do that back

home all the time, you know?

All right, got it, got it, got it,

got it.

I'm known a lot by a neo-school

mixed with a neo-traditional style.

We want to do a piece that tells

who we are.

I have to trust my gut.

All right, guys, you have six hours to

tattoo, and your time starts now.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Drawing is everything in this competition.

Today, I'm hoping that somebody can actually draw

from life and show me details.

Is it cool?

I'm cool.

Yeah, I can do that.

The hardest part about tattooing when you are

a team and you're tagging in and out

every hour is, who's micromanaging?

No, no, I'm just bringing it right in.

Who's backseat driving?

Who's in control?

Go a little bit in, right there.

They're going to have to be on the

same page to come up with a drawing

that they can both execute.

Michael, I believe it's in your hands, bro.

Let the fun begin.

Yeah, you're good like that.

Our shop deserves to be a master shop

because we're considered to be one of the

best portrait realism shops in the world.

Yeah, and we're just awesome people, so, you

know.

Yeah, there you go.

I specialize in photo realism.

That includes color and black and gray.

Darken it up.

No, I know, I'm just trying to bevel

that out a little bit.

I've been tattooing for 26 years.

I specialize in kind of everything because I've

been tattooing so long.

You're going to want to buy a pet

alligator after this, dude.

We got this.

Four hours remaining, guys.

Switch artists.

All right, here we go.

As far as the lining, go with your

instinct, man.

My favorite thing in the world to tattoo

is birds, so I'm super stoked right now.

Most people would know me for bright colors,

smooth blends, really super soft black and gray.

Can you pour me some more of that

red violet?

Thanks, honey.

You're welcome, B.U. The cool part about

having a teammate, I'm not feeling super confident

in this challenge, but I know Jessie's awesome

at this.

We're like a yin and yang.

I'm mostly known for new school.

What's unique about my new school is that

I have a nice, girly touch.

Definitely moving a little slower on this rose

than I expected.

Better to take your time, do it right.

I mean, you're running out of reference.

I don't want you to go past what

we've drawn.

I'm really aiming to show the judges that

we have a better concept over everybody else's.

I mean, I don't want to, like, waste

time just, like, not doing anything.

Well, it's better to not do anything than

to do what doesn't need to be done.

For the most part, I do black and

gray.

But at the end of the day, I

want to do whatever technique works best to

tell my client's story.

Come on, let me run you this new

script real quick.

Dave is changing the sketch.

Why are you doing that?

We had a plan.

Let's stick to it.

Well, it was never finished, so.

People doubt me because I'm a young black

female.

I don't have that many years of experience.

But I'm here to prove everybody wrong.

Just let people know, like, hey, we can

do this too.

Two more hours to go.

Switch artists.

Lunchtime, buddy.

I did not expect to see, like, live

animals walking in.

No, dude, that was the last thing I

expected.

I've been tattooing 17 years.

I am known for the realistic black and

gray high contrast, photorealism style.

Think you got it?

I do.

Mike's my boss.

He owns the shop, so there's a lot

on the line.

I have been tattooing approximately five and a

half years.

My style is illustrative, bold, bright, colorful.

When I'm weak and he excels in, we're

a perfect match.

There is no reason we can't win this.

Absolutely.

You're killing it, brother.

Proud of you, huh?

We're a big family.

It's my brother from another mother.

Yeah.

Probably a bit more black right in that

area, just to push it.

At the end of the day, I want

to show my family that here in the

United States, you can make your dreams come

true.

We're here to win it.

This is a good tattoo.

This is the best thing out there.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

That is it.

Machines down.

Time is up.

No more ink.

Very, very confident.

Voice short.

That's awesome.

Tri-cities and thicker than blood.

Should be worried about going home today.

John and Bobby Harry's tattoo looks like a

weird space worm.

And Tri-Cities' tattoo just looks like just

a tube with a head.

It's just bad in a different way.

Definitely one of a kind.

We worked together to get the job done.

It didn't look good.

Your snake's an impossible snake.

It's completely anatomically impossible.

You totally fucked it up.

That was rough.

Not fun.

The curveball was no references.

We had a reference.

It was the animal.
