Ep 3. Walk-outs

Ink Master: Redemption season 1 episode 3 is titled "Walk-outs". The episode begins with a group of tattoo artists standing on the street outside the Ink Master shop. These are artists who have previously been on the show, but who left or were eliminated due to various reasons, such as fights with other artists or lack of skill.

The artists are here because they have been invited back to the show to compete in Ink Master: Redemption, a spinoff series that gives tattoo artists a chance to redeem themselves and prove they have what it takes to be an Ink Master.

For this episode, the artists are tasked with creating tattoos that showcase the art of walking out - a term used in the tattoo industry to describe when a client or artist walks out of a tattoo session due to various reasons. The artists must create tattoos that capture the raw emotion of a walk-out and communicate the story behind it.

As the artists get to work, tensions begin to rise. Some of the artists are nervous to be back in the tattoo shop and feel like they have something to prove, while others are confident in their skills and ready to show the judges they have what it takes to be an Ink Master.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the creative process behind each artist's tattoo. They explain their designs and what inspired their choices. Some artists chose to focus on the emotions behind a walk-out, while others chose to depict the actual moment when someone walks out.

Once the tattoos are complete, the judges come in to inspect them. The judges for this episode are the same as the main series - Dave Navarro, Chris Nunez, and Oliver Peck. They examine each tattoo closely, critiquing the line work, shading, and overall composition.

As the judges deliberate, tensions continue to rise among the artists. Some are confident in their tattoos and feel like they have a shot at redemption, while others are nervous and unsure if their work will impress the judges.

In the end, the judges make their decisions and the artists are either redeemed or sent home. Some of the tattoos are praised for their creativity and emotional depth, while others are criticized for their lack of technical skill.

Overall, this episode of Ink Master: Redemption is an intense and emotional journey for the returning artists. It's a chance for them to prove themselves and show the judges and viewers that they have what it takes to be an Ink Master.
