Ep 13. I Do's and Bad Tattoos

The thirteenth episode of Tattoo Nightmares season 2 is titled I Do's and Bad Tattoos. This episode follows three clients who are seeking to get their tattoos covered up or fixed by the skilled artists at the Nightmare Ink shop.

The first client is a woman named Gabrielle who got a tattoo of her ex-boyfriend's initials on her finger. She wants to have it covered up with something that represents her current relationship with her fiancé. Gabrielle's previous tattoo was done by an amateur artist, so the initials are crooked and poorly done. The tattoo artist who works on this cover-up tattoo is very talented and listens carefully to Gabrielle's story and preference. He comes up with a beautiful design that includes an infinity symbol, a heart, and the letter "J" for her fiancé's name. The cover-up tattoo turns out amazing and Gabrielle is thrilled to have a beautiful and meaningful tattoo on her finger.

The second client is a man named Adam who got a tattoo in honor of his ex-wife but now wants to remove it because he is getting married to a different woman. Adam's previous tattoo is a large and detailed image of his ex-wife's face, and removing it is not an easy task. The tattoo artist who works on Adam's tattoo is highly skilled in laser tattoo removal, which is a very precise and time-consuming process. Throughout the episode, we see Adam going through multiple removal sessions, enduring the pain and discomfort of the laser treatment. Eventually, he is able to remove most of the tattoo, and the tattoo artist covers up the remaining ink with a beautiful flower design that represents his new life with his fiancé. Adam is happy with the final result and feels like he is finally able to move on from his previous life.

The third client is a woman named Jen who got a tattoo in honor of her partner but now regrets it because of their rocky relationship. Jen's previous tattoo is a large and detailed image of her partner's face, which takes up most of her upper arm. The tattoo artist who works on Jen's tattoo is very skilled in cover-up tattoos, and he comes up with a unique design that incorporates the existing tattoo into a bigger and more detailed piece. Jen is initially nervous about getting the cover-up, but as the tattoo artist works his magic, she begins to feel more and more excited about the new tattoo. The new design includes a beautiful phoenix rising from the ashes, symbolizing Jen's rebirth and transformation. The new tattoo is a huge success and Jen is thrilled with the result.

Overall, I Do's and Bad Tattoos is a heartwarming episode that shows the power of good tattoos in helping people move on from their past mistakes and start new chapters in their lives. The tattoo artists at Nightmare Ink are truly talented, and they prove that even the worst tattoos can be transformed into beautiful works of art.
