Ep 5. Healed by an Angel

Ink Master: Angels season 2 episode 5, titled "Healed by an Angel," follows the four female tattoo artists as they travel to Oklahoma City to find the best local tattoo artist. The premise of the show centers around the four Angels, Ryan Ashley Malarkey, Kelly Doty, Nikki Simpson, and Gia Rose, challenging local artists to compete in a head-to-head elimination-style competition.

In this episode, the Angels team up with local artist Gary Ruckle, who is known for his expertise in cover-up tattoos. The Angels and Ruckle set out to find eight of Oklahoma City's best tattoo artists who specialize in cover-ups. The artists must compete in a series of challenges, each of which tests their skills in covering up old, unwanted tattoos.

The first challenge requires the artists to cover up a black tribal tattoo, a design that is notoriously difficult to cover up. The judges are impressed with the skill level of the artists, but some struggle with the technical difficulty of the challenge.

In the second challenge, the artists must cover up tattoo mistakes on a major part of the body, such as the chest or back. The judges are looking for an artist who can not only cover-up the mistake but create a beautiful piece of art in its place.

The final challenge is the most complex, where the artists must cover up an entire sleeve or leg tattoo. This challenge requires the artists to not only have technical skill but also a strong artistic vision.

As the competition heats up, tensions rise among the artists and the Angels. The Angels are not impressed with some of the artists' attitudes and push them to rise to the occasion. Emotions run high, with some artists facing elimination and others rising to the challenge.

In the end, only one artist will be crowned the winner and receive a chance to tattoo alongside the Angels in a future episode.

"Healed by an Angel" is a thrilling episode that showcases the talents of the Angels and the local Oklahoma City artists. The challenges are intense, and the competition is fierce, leading to an exciting and emotional finale. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode.
