On the fourth episode of “Ink Master,” Season 2 Veteran Lalo Yunda and Season 7 Veteran Picasso of House of Monkey Tattoo (Brooklyn, NY) entered the competition.
Following a flash challenge that required tattooing the ear, the most fragile skin on the body, contestants then had to create black and gray tattoos that featured cherubs. In the end, the judges felt that Tri-Cities Tattoo (Atlanta, GA) did not have what it takes to be the next “Ink Master Shop.”
