In last night's episode, the six remaining artists made a stop at
Universal Studios for the Flash Challenge. Judged by famed tattooer Miya Bailey, the artists were tasked with creating comic book super heroes in their own likenesses. In the Ink Challenge, the artists had to create dynamic tattoos that came to life using cutting edge animation technology. At the end of last night's episode, Derek Rubright of Las Vegas, NV was eliminated as the judges decided he did not have what it takes to be the "Best Ink."
Next week on "Best Ink" airing on Wednesday, May 22 at 10pm ET/PT, the remaining five artists have to elevate their game as this week's Ink Challenge forces them to create a photorealistic tattoo. Award winning artist Jason Seiler guides the artists through a Flash Challenge inspired by "The Fast and The Furious,"
Universal Studios hit movie franchise now in its 6th iteration.
"Best Ink" is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, a Banijay Group company, with Jonathan Murray, Gil Goldschein, and Rick DeOlivera serving as executive producers and Sam Berns and Tony Croll serving as co-executive producers.
