Ep 3. The 80 Year Old Virgin

The third episode of Ink Master season 2 is titled "The 80 Year Old Virgin". In this episode, the remaining contestants are faced with the challenge of tattooing an 80-year-old virgin. This is a difficult task as the canvas is old and fragile, making it hard for the artists to work on.

The episode starts with the contestants arriving at the Ink Master studio and feeling nervous about the upcoming challenge. The judges, Dave Navarro, Oliver Peck, and Chris Nunez, explain the rules of the challenge and introduce the canvas, an 80-year-old virgin named Ed.

The contestants then have a limited amount of time to come up with a design that will suit Ed's personality and interests. They must work with the limited space and delicate skin of their canvas to create a tattoo that will not only look good, but also ensure that Ed is happy with the final product.

The artists then begin the tattooing process, with some struggling more than others. Ed is a difficult canvas to work with, and the artists have to be careful not to cause him any pain or discomfort.

As the contestants work on their designs, tensions begin to rise between some of the artists, with some feeling that they are being unfairly judged or criticized. However, they push through and continue to work on their tattoos, knowing that they only have a limited time to get the job done.

Once the tattoos are finished, the judges inspect each one carefully, looking at the design, the execution, and the overall impression. Some of the tattoos stand out as being particularly impressive, while others fail to hit the mark.

In the end, one artist is named the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The winner receives a prize, and the rest of the contestants continue on to the next challenge.

Overall, the episode is a tense and challenging one for the artists, as they grapple with the difficult task of tattooing an elderly and fragile canvas. It is a testament to their skill and dedication that they are able to produce some truly impressive tattoos under such difficult circumstances.
