Ep 8. Steel City Showdown

In this episode of Ink Master: Angels, titled "Steel City Showdown," the four remaining contestants- Elva, Tito, Daniel, and Brittney- head to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to take on local tattoo artists in a series of challenges.

The first challenge is a flash challenge, where the artists must create an art piece inspired by Pittsburgh's famous steel industry. Brittany comes out on top with her black and gray design, earning her the power to assign canvases for the elimination tattoo.

For the elimination challenge, the angels bring in their own canvases, who have requested cover-up tattoos. The artists must cover up old tattoos with new designs that showcase their skills. The catch? They only have six hours to complete the task.

During the challenge, tensions rise as the artists struggle with difficult canvases. Tito and Elva both have issues with their canvases, which threatens to derail their chances at staying in the competition. Daniel, on the other hand, excels with his cover-up design, impressing the judges with his use of color and detail.

As time runs out, the contestants present their finished designs to the judges. The angels critique each tattoo, noting strengths and weaknesses. In the end, one artist is deemed the winner and moves on to the next round, while another is eliminated from the competition.

The episode concludes with a sneak peak of the next episode, where the angels head to Austin, Texas, to take on the local tattoo scene. With only three artists remaining, the competition heats up as the contestants fight for the title of Ink Master: Angel.
