Ep 9. Tipping the Scales

In this episode of Ink Master season 11, titled "Tipping the Scales," the remaining tattoo artists face a unique challenge involving balance. The episode begins with the artists being split into teams of two, with each team being assigned a miniature scale as their canvas. The teams are tasked with creating a tattoo design that incorporates the use of the scales in a creative and visually appealing way.

As the artists begin working on their designs, tensions run high as some struggle with the challenge while others thrive. The judges, including Oliver Peck, Chris Nunez, and Dave Navarro, closely monitor each team's progress and offer feedback as they work.

In addition to the main challenge, the episode also features a flash challenge, which involves the use of Henna tattoos. Each artist must create a unique design using Henna, a dye made from the leaves of the Henna plant that is commonly used for temporary tattoos. The winner of this challenge receives an advantage in the main challenge.

As the main challenge comes to a close, the judges review each team's work and make their final decision on which team will be sent home. The tension reaches its peak as the artists await the judges' decision, and the losing team must pack their bags and say goodbye to the competition.

Overall, "Tipping the Scales" is a thrilling and intense episode that showcases the artists' creativity and skill in a unique and challenging way. With only a few episodes left in the season, the pressure is on as the remaining artists compete for the title of Ink Master.
