On the eighth episode of “Ink Master,” Season 6 Veterans Katie McGowan O’Baugh of Black Cobra Tattoos (Sherwood, AR) entered the competition.
Following a flash challenge that required contestants to tattoo a symbolic design depicting a physical condition affecting a loved one, they then had to tattoo a famous work of art. In the end, the judges felt that Black Spade Tattoo (Las Vegas, NV) did not have what it takes to be the next “Ink Master Master Shop.”
