Ep 11. Roll Of The Dice

In this episode of Ink Master season 12, titled "Roll Of The Dice," the remaining artists were put to the ultimate test in a game of chance. Host Dave Navarro introduced the challenge by presenting a giant die, which each artist had to roll in order to determine a specific style of tattoo that they would have to create.

Some of the styles included in the game of chance were incredibly difficult and challenging, such as realism, black and gray, or lettering. Others were more common but still required a high level of skill and creativity, like American traditional or neo-traditional. Regardless of the specific style, each artist had to roll the dice and hope for the best, as there was no way to know in advance which style they'd be assigned.

Once the artists learned their assigned style, they had just six hours to create a masterpiece on their human canvas. As always, the judges - including Oliver Peck, Chris Nunez, and guest judge Steve Tefft - closely watched the artists' progress and critiqued their final products.

Throughout the competition, tensions were high as each artist struggled to create the perfect tattoo under intense time pressure. Some contestants pushed themselves to their absolute limits, while others struggled to keep up and fell behind.

One of the major highlights of this episode was the incredible level of creativity and talent displayed by the remaining contestants. Despite having no control over the style they were assigned, each artist managed to find a unique and innovative way to approach the challenge. Some incorporated surprising color palettes or unusual designs, while others experimented with new shading techniques or unusual placements on the body.

In addition to the main challenge, the episode also included plenty of behind-the-scenes drama as the artists struggled to work together in the communal living space. Some had formed alliances and worked together to share strategies and techniques, while others clashed over artistic differences or personal issues.

Overall, Ink Master season 12 episode 11 was an intense and exciting installment of the popular tattoo competition series. With each artist putting their skills to the test in a game of chance, viewers were treated to a showcase of incredible talent, creativity, and determination. Plus, with the added drama of the communal living space, the episode had plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
