The winner is announced, and with a mixture of disappointment and pride, the other two artists pack up their gear and leave the competition for good.

With the first round over, the winner goes on to face one of the Angels for a spot on Ink Master. The stage is set for an epic showdown of skill, creativity, and determination, and the Angels are more than ready to take on the best of the best in the tattoo world.
