On the sixth episode of “Ink Master,” Season 8 Veteran Boneface and Season 8 Veteran Hobo Ink of Boneface Ink (Pensacola, FL) entered the competition.
Following a flash challenge in which contestants had to use colored velvet powder to create an image on a black adhesive board; they then had to freehand a tattoo, drawing directly on their canvas’ skin without a stencil which tested their skill of artistry. In the end, the judges felt that House of Monkey Tattoo (Brooklyn, NY) did not have what it takes to be the next “Ink Master Master Shop.”
