Ep 10. Pony Boy

Tattoo Nightmares season 2 episode 10 is titled "Pony Boy" and features three clients seeking tattoo cover-ups from artists in the shop. Each client has a unique and challenging tattoo that they want completely erased or covered up.

The first client is a woman who got a tattoo of her ex-boyfriend's name on her inner lip. The tattoo artists are immediately hesitant to cover a tattoo on the inner lip due to the difficulty and sensitivity of the area. The client explains that her new boyfriend is a cowboy and she wants a tattoo to match his western lifestyle. The artist comes up with a creative solution to cover up the name with a horse silhouette that the client loves.

The second client is a man who got a tribal tattoo on his lower back. He explains that he got the tattoo for his fraternity and now regrets it as it is not an accurate representation of who he is. The tattoo artist uses a shading technique to turn the tribal tattoo into a beautiful black and grey phoenix. The client is beyond thrilled with the final product and is grateful to finally get rid of his embarrassing fraternity tattoo.

The third client is a young man who got a tattoo of a pony on his bicep when he was 18 years old. He explains that at the time, he thought it was a cool and unique tattoo but now feels ashamed to show it off. The pony tattoo is cartoonishly large and has terrible shading. The client's goal is to have the tattoo covered with a black and grey sleeve. The artist has to use a lot of dark tones to cover up the bright colors of the pony tattoo but ultimately creates an amazing life-like black and grey sleeve. The client is overwhelmed with emotion and thankful for the incredible job the artist did.

The episode also includes a segment on tattoo etiquette, where the hosts explain how to choose the right tattoo artist for your needs and how to communicate effectively with your artist during the process. The segment is helpful for anyone considering getting a tattoo and unsure of where to start.

Overall, Tattoo Nightmares season 2 episode 10 "Pony Boy" is a great episode for anyone interested in tattoo cover-ups and creative solutions to difficult tattoos. The episode showcases the talent and expertise of the tattoo artists in the shop and is incredibly satisfying to watch as each client gets their embarrassing tattoo transformed into something they can be proud of.
