Ep 8. All is Fair in Love and Ink

In the season 1 episode 8 of Bad Ink titled "All is Fair in Love and Ink," the hosts of the show, Rob and Dirk, are called in to help a man named David who has a tattoo of his ex-wife's name on his neck. David's current girlfriend, who is also the mother of his child, is understandably unhappy about the tattoo and wants it covered up as soon as possible.

However, the situation becomes more complicated when David's ex-wife, who is now married to someone else, calls to tell him that she wants to get back together. David is torn between his current girlfriend and his ex-wife and doesn't know what to do.

To make matters worse, the tattoo of his ex-wife's name isn't the only bad ink on David's body. He also has a tattoo of a pot leaf on his ankle that he got when he was a teenager and a poorly done tattoo of his son's name on his arm.

Rob and Dirk take on the challenge of covering up the ex-wife's name on David's neck while also trying to come up with a solution to the larger problem of having too many bad tattoos. They take David to their favorite tattoo artist, Ruckus, who specializes in covering up old tattoos.

Ruckus comes up with a design that will cover up the ex-wife's name and incorporate David's son's name as well. The design is a beautiful black and gray tattoo of a wolf and a moon that will completely cover up the old tattoo.

However, before they can get started on the new tattoo, David has to make a decision about his love life. He decides to stay with his current girlfriend, but the situation is still emotional and stressful for everyone involved.

Throughout the episode, Rob and Dirk offer support and guidance to David, reminding him that getting a bad tattoo is a decision that lasts a lifetime. They also emphasize the importance of communication and making sure that all parties involved understand each other's feelings and intentions.

In the end, Ruckus successfully covers up the ex-wife's name on David's neck with a beautiful new tattoo that incorporates his son's name. David is happy with the result and grateful for the support and guidance of Rob and Dirk throughout the process.

Overall, "All is Fair in Love and Ink" is a heartfelt and emotional episode of Bad Ink that highlights the importance of good communication, understanding, and respect in all relationships, whether they be romantic or artistic.
