for the 8 00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:28,100 reputation of the shop, but I also think 9 00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:29,080 this is a great advantage. 10 00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:32,100 Shots will live and die as a pair. 11 00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:33,600 If they're smart and they come in with 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,340 someone who has what they don't have, those 13 00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,400 are the

If we help each other make it to 30 00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,000 the finale, then it's like fair game. 31 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,620 And bonds will break. 32 00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:10,340 F***

--> 00:04:13,330 easy. 115 00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:15,130 But if you're a true artist, you can 116 00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:15,970 make art out of anything. 117 00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:17,209 This is your chance to get a leg 118 00:04:17,209 --> 00:04:17,950 up on the competition. 119 00:04:18,130 --> 00:04:19,550 This is your chance to intimidate the other 120 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:19,829 players. 121 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:21,150 This is your chance to bond as a 122 00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:21,310 team. 123 00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:22,370 Start today. 124 00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:23,530 Start hard.

00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:37,030 Let's do it. 129 00:04:37,330 --> 00:04:37,750 All right, Bubba. 130 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:38,450 All right. 131 00:04:39,090 --> 00:04:40,770 You're representing your whole business. 132 00:04:41,050 --> 00:04:42,130 You come in here, and you screw up 133 00:04:42,130 --> 00:04:44,390 this time, you're not just screwing up yourself. 134 00:04:44,690 --> 00:04:45,270 What are you thinking? 135 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:47,590 I was thinking some kind of robot, then 136 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:48,310 his hand up here. 137 00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:50,410 For this first challenge, what we're looking for 138 00:04:50,410 --> 00:04:52,630 is someone to be creative, and work together, 139 00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:53,970 and do the best they can at something 140 00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:54,890 they've never done before. 141 00:04:55,070 --> 00:04:56,390 So what was your idea? 142 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:58,250 I'm thinking about doing a koi fish. 143 00:04:58,630 --> 00:05:01,350 If these people have a problem working together, 144 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:03,190 right off the bat, they shouldn't have come 145 00:05:03,190 --> 00:05:03,610 here together. 146 00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:05,770 One of my ideas was to incorporate the 147 00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:06,650 logo in there somewhere. 148 00:05:06,970 --> 00:05:09,070 I don't want to force anything extra. 149 00:05:10,090 --> 00:05:11,630 I should mimic what you're doing on the 150 00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:12,230 other side, right? 151 00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:14,150 Yeah, I mean, any force you want. 152 00:05:14,350 --> 00:05:16,050 We were thinking the best thing to do 153 00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:18,810 would be to cut out the bigger pieces 154 00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:19,330 first. 155 00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:20,790 I got to do the top, because they're 156 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:21,610 all short and whatnot. 157 00:05:22,590 --> 00:05:25,270 I really like working with my significant other. 158 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:26,710 A little ball and chain. 159 00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:28,030 You're my ball and chain. 160 00:05:28,650 --> 00:05:29,290 I like your ball and chain. 161 00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:30,750 That's not a good thing to say. 162 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:32,950 All I want to see is this damn 163 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:33,230 fin. 164 00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:34,930 And you said it's going like that. 165 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:36,570 I'm not sure yet. 166 00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:38,650 Bang is a hard ass. 167 00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:42,310 I had no idea that we were literally 168 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:44,330 going to be doing everything together. 169 00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:46,230 You're telling me we need to start building 170 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:48,310 these fins now, before we go any lower. 171 00:05:48,510 --> 00:05:50,230 We don't even have the fin, or this. 172 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:51,290 We don't have none of that yet. 173 00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:52,210 We're not there yet. 174 00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:54,470 We're not on the same page, obviously. 175 00:05:54,470 --> 00:05:56,070 If we're going to carve out an inch, 176 00:05:56,350 --> 00:05:57,970 we need to plan to have this left 177 00:05:57,970 --> 00:05:58,870 over for the fin. 178 00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:01,550 He has this idea and this vision, and 179 00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:02,730 I'm just not seeing it right now. 180 00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:04,290 This is going to be this. 181 00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:05,590 Look at the perspective. 182 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:07,810 Two more hours remaining. 183 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:08,470 Two more. 184 00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:17,510 Just remember, no risk, no reward. 185 00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:18,090 We got this. 186 00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:20,670 I definitely feel like we're underestimated being two 187 00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:23,030 females in the tattoo industry, which is totally 188 00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:23,770 male dominated. 189 00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:25,370 But that just puts the fuel in the 190 00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:25,630 fire. 191 00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:26,730 I mean, if we can come out of 192 00:06:26,730 --> 00:06:28,010 here winning the first flash challenge. 193 00:06:28,030 --> 00:06:28,910 Dude, that would be so dope. 194 00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:35,190 The tail feathers can only go so far, 195 00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:36,410 because there's only so much ice. 196 00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:38,190 As long as the effect is there, you 197 00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:38,350 know? 198 00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:38,870 Yeah. 199 00:06:39,030 --> 00:06:41,130 Jim and I have only worked together for 200 00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:42,170 maybe five months. 201 00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:43,710 We're going to be learning a lot about 202 00:06:43,710 --> 00:06:45,610 each other as this competition progresses. 203 00:06:46,110 --> 00:06:48,250 I'm known in the industry for having a 204 00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:49,710 lot of detail in my tattoos. 205 00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:52,090 How about we just get done everything on 206 00:06:52,090 --> 00:06:53,790 here first, and then if there's time, then 207

00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:06,200 The anatomy is a little bit off. 287 00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:08,560 There's no forehead, and it's all chin. 288 00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:11,240 Artistic skin design. 289

detail in the mouth 292 00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:18,540 to get that deep setback mouth with the 293 00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:18,800 teeth. 294 00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,260 Value and effort for a new

was expecting to be wowed by their 305 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:39,420 eye sculpture, and it was literally a little 306 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:39,760 flat. 307 00:09:40,220 --> 00:09:41,800 Next up is the Mark Society. 308 00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:44,000 What better than a tattoo machine? 309 00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:46,700 It's super clean and legible, but what's super 310 00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:49,960 impressive is how straight and precise you were 311 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,080 able to make each line in this piece. 312 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,700 Thank you, thank you. 313 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Allegory Arts. 314 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,820 How does this identify your shop? 315 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,260 It's clearly the logo, correct? 316 00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:57,880 It is. 317 00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:00,380 It's also the state of Alabama, which is 318 00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:01,280 where our shop is. 319 00:10:01,420 --> 00:10:03,500 The creativity of using the shape of the 320 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,460 state as a whole block, adding the tip 321 00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:06,860 and the top of the flowers poking out 322 00:10:06,860 --> 00:10:08,460 through it, the way you put the flower 323 00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:10,660 in the background by impressing it in so 324 00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:12,040 you see it from the front is very 325 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,280 nice. 326 00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:13,720 The craftsmanship is very well done. 327 00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,100 Wow, thank you very much. 328 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,080 Classic Trilogy Tattoo. 329 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,340 We're pretty much like a big nerd shop, 330 00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:21,760 so everything we do is just pop culture 331 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,260 and fun. 332 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,920 It's a big, cool, fun image. 333 00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,960 You really got the shape of the ice 334 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,280 to become what it is, and that really 335 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,880 stands out, and it's bold and strong. 336 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,320 Tri-Cities Tattoo. 337 00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:33,980 I could definitely tell it's a fish, but 338 00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:35,560 it is a little bit hard to see 339 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:36,660 exactly what's going on. 340 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,000 Seems like there's a lot of ice that 341 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,880 you just took away and then a lot 342 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,040 of ice that you didn't use. 343 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,600 Got you. 344 00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:43,960 Tri-Cities look like a damn beach whale. 345 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,980 I don't know what the hell they were 346 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:45,480 going for. 347 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,820 Today's first flash challenge, the stakes are a 348 00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:51,640 lot higher than ever before because we've never 349 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,800 given out $200,000. 350 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:54,600 We've never had shops battling out. 351 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,060 There's a lot on the line for the 352 00:10:56,060 --> 00:10:57,880 reputation of the shop, but I also think 353 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,860 this is a great advantage. 354 00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:00,340 If they're smart and they come in with 355 00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:02,100 someone who has what they don't have, those 356 00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:03,160 are the teams that are really going to 357 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,360 shine. 358 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,100 I was pretty impressed with Allegory Arts. 359 00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:06,960 You know, they really used a lot of 360 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:07,720 different techniques. 361 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,860 They did a couple little trick effects that 362 00:11:09,860 --> 00:11:10,940 just really set them apart. 363 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,540 I also think that Pins and Needles did 364 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:14,300 a great job with the anatomical heart. 365 00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:17,540 Their piece was probably the most legible piece. 366 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,300 One shop that did a really great job 367 00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:21,180 in terms of using the entire block of 368 00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,620 ice was Unkindness Arts. 369 00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:24,840 That is a sculpture, a bird from every 370 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,720 angle you look at it. 371 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,220 We're all pretty agreed, yeah? 372 00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:28,100 Yeah, got it. 373

00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:38,500 The judges have decided the winner of the 377 00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:44,020 first flash challenge is Allegory Arts. 378 00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:47,760 Brad, you used a lot of different techniques, 379 00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:50,440 and it really spelled out your logo to 380 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:50,760 the team. 381 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Congratulations, Ulyss

end. 388 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,860 But tricks don't get you through this competition. 389 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,900 Throughout this competition, you'll see that the flash 390 00:12:09,900 -->

how she's going to be, 509 00:15:49,650 --> 00:15:50,750 then we're in real trouble. 510 00:15:51,390 --> 00:15:53,010 All right, guys, two more hours. 511 00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:58,620 We're real

shop. 524 00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:21,640 We're already used to taking whatever somebody throws 525 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,040 at us. 526 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,400 You've got to be quick on your

it down there, too. 533 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:40,680 This is your final hour. 534 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:41,840 This is tricky. 535 00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:47,140 This is the most important part, so just 536 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:48,660 go. 537 00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:50,420 I think it's a lot of risk that 538 00:16:50,420 --> 00:16:50,860 we've taken. 539 00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:52,860 You cannot

00:17:28,170 --> 00:17:30,490 All I see is this giant chunk of 555 00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:30,990 drywall. 556 00:17:31,230 --> 00:17:33,350 Uh, so how the hell are we going 557 00:17:33,350 -->

00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:44,030 Time is up. 562 00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:44,390 I'm out. 563 00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:44,870 I'm out. 564 00:17:45,310 --> 00:17:46,190 Yeah, we're fucked. 565 00:17:49,210 --> 00:17:51,190 All right, artists, it is now time to 566 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:51,990 critique your work. 567 00:17:52,370 --> 00:17:53,030 Pins and needles. 568 00:17:54,110 --> 00:17:55,930 It looks like you had a really rough 569 00:17:55,930 --> 00:17:56,210 time. 570 00:17:56,610 --> 00:17:57,710 It lacks consistency. 571 00:17:58,090 --> 00:18:00,230 The filigree is haphazardly thrown in there. 572 00:18:00,430 --> 00:18:01,530 I wish we had more time. 573 00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:02,330 Yeah, definitely. 574 00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:03,210 Time is the killer. 575 00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:05,990 Artistic skin designs. 576 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:09,270 So much of that background makes it a 577 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:10,210 little bit harder to read. 578 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:12,870 Halfway through, we were like, maybe we made 579 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:14,070 it a little too busy. 580 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:15,650 What I really like what you did here 581 00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:16,990 is you used the shape of the sign. 582 00:18:17,090 --> 00:18:19,390 And in the lettering, it is very consistent. 583 00:18:19,630 --> 00:18:20,750 It just got a little lost. 584 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:22,790 Thicker than blood. 585 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:25,030 Pretty illegible. 586 00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:27,230 The N on than is backwards. 587 00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:29,570 And it looks like it says blue. 588 00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,270 The number one rule of signage for a 589 00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:33,370 business would be legibility. 590 00:18:33,770 --> 00:18:35,590 So this one is just the opposite of 591 00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:36,350 what we'd want to see. 592 00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:38,230 Black anchor collective. 593 00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:41,890 Nothing's worse than misspelling your own shop name. 594 00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:44,210 I know we messed up, and we should 595 00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:44,790 have caught that. 596 00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:45,050 Yeah. 597 00:18:45,410 --> 00:18:47,250 On a positive note, the anchor's the best 598 00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:49,870 penmanship and craftsmanship we've seen so far out 599 00:18:49,870 --> 00:18:50,550 of any of the pieces. 600 00:18:51,050 --> 00:18:52,730 Unfortunately, it just doesn't say what you need 601 00:18:52,730 --> 00:18:53,090 it to say. 602 00:18:53,870 --> 00:18:55,490 Like, for real, do you know how to 603 00:18:55,490 --> 00:18:56,190 spell black? 604 00:18:56,410 --> 00:18:56,790 Black. 605 00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:58,950 Ha, ha, ha, ha. 606 00:18:59,250 --> 00:19:00,250 The Merck Society. 607 00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:03,610 The bottom filigree is really, really nice. 608 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:05,550 The top right filigree just looks like y 609 00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:06,190 'all ran out of time. 610 00:19:06,290 --> 00:19:07,450 It was definitely a pain in the ass. 611 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:08,950 If you don't have time to finish it, 612 00:19:09,010 --> 00:19:09,730 don't even start it. 613 00:19:11,230 --> 00:19:11,990 Unkindness art. 614 00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:14,970 It does not look like you struggled with 615 00:19:14,970 -->

00:19:21,070 --> 00:19:21,430 lettering. 619 00:19:21,550 --> 00:19:23,010 Stepping it up a notch is a good 620 00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:23,310 thing. 621 00:19:24,350 --> 00:19:25,750 Classic trilogy
