Last night Best Ink tapped into the emotions of everyone. Many people get tattoos to resemble a hardship they've over come or a memory they want to keep forever. The show kicks off with a Flash Challenge that is rather difficult for some competitors.
Flash Challenge
The Flash Challenge is designed to give the winner an advantage in the Ink Challenge. This challenge focuses on the creativity of an artist. It's like making a tattoo without the skin and ink. The challenge is to tell a story of an emotional time in their lives using flowers. Flowers are very colorful, so it should be easy for the artistic mind to run wild. Unfortunately it wasn't easy for Roman at all. All he did was complain about how hot it was and talk about how he "turns people into robots." The Winner of the Flash Challenge was Kyle with his wonderful bouquet of flower. They represented the love for his girlfriend and child at the top and the frustration of being away from them at the bottom.
Ink Challenge
The Ink Challenge specializes in tattoo time management, creativity, and Skin satisfaction. The clients on Best Ink are called Skins, pretty obvious why, right? The competitors had 4 hours to complete a tattoo that reflects an emotional time in their Skins lives. Kyle won the Flash Challenge, so he got to choose his skin first. The guest judge was Aaron Carter!
