Ep 13. Sell Out

Ink Master season 9 episode 13 is titled Sell Out and it follows the remaining tattoo artists as they continue to compete for the title of Ink Master. In this episode, the artists are given the challenge of creating tattoos for some of their most challenging clients yet: themselves. Each artist is tasked with creating a tattoo that represents their own personal style and aesthetic, which they will then have to tattoo onto their own bodies.

As the artists get to work on their designs, tensions begin to rise between some of the contestants. Personalities clash as each artist fights to prove their worth and show off their unique skills and talents. Meanwhile, the judges continue to scrutinize each tattoo and give their honest critique, pushing the artists to their limits and forcing them to dig deeper and show their true potential.

In addition to the main challenge, the artists are also faced with a flash challenge that tests their ability to create a design for a skin tone that is different from their own. This challenge forces the artists to consider issues of inclusivity and to push themselves outside of their comfort zones, showcasing their versatility and adaptability in the process.

As the episode comes to a close, the judges must weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each tattoo and ultimately choose which artist will be sent home. The competition grows fiercer with each passing week, and tensions are high as the remaining contestants fight to stay in the game and prove their worth as the ultimate Ink Master.
