Ep 7. No Wasted Space

As the competition heats up on Ink Master season 11, episode 7 titled "No Wasted Space," the remaining tattoo artists prepare to showcase their skills on one of the most complicated challenges yet. Each contestant is tasked with creating a piece on a tough canvas, which is a professional wrestler from WWE. The tattoos must not only be technically flawless but also tell a story that is unique to each wrestler and their journey in the ring.

The judges this week are joined by a special guest, wrestler and former WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres, who is known for her strong stance on empowering women. The tension is high as the artists prepare to impress the judges with their original designs. However, the challenge involves much more than just the final product. The artists must work in teams of three and collaborate with each other to create a cohesive design that tells a story about their wrestler's journey.

As the artists begin working on their designs, tensions rise within the teams. Some artists take control while others struggle to contribute effectively. Meanwhile, others impress the judges with their ability to work together and create a design that exceeds expectations.

As the judging commences, it becomes evident that some artists have struggled to tell their wrestler's story effectively. Others have excelled and captured the essence of their wrestler's journey in a visually stunning and thought-provoking design. Emily Elegado's team's design, in particular, stands out as a clear favorite among the judges.

One of the highlights of the episode is a touching moment when Ash Mann, one of the contestants, talks about his past struggles with addiction and how tattooing has helped him turn his life around. It is a reminder that tattooing is about more than just art; it can also be a way to heal and find purpose in life.

In the end, the judges must decide which team's tattoo designs were most effective in telling the wrestler's story. There are some clear winners and losers, but the ultimate decision is left to the judges, who must decide which contestant will be eliminated and who will move on to the next round of the competition.

"No Wasted Space" is an episode that showcases the artists' ability to work collaboratively as well as their technical skill and creativity. It is a reminder that tattooing is about more than just the art; it is also about storytelling and creating a piece that is uniquely tailored to the canvas. This episode is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone interested in the art of tattooing.
