"Male announcer:" "This season on "Ink Master:" "Redemption"..." " We have so many canvases that come here into this shop hoping for an amazing tattoo and leave here totally heartbroken." "What happens to them?" "announcer:" "Human canvases that have been permanently marked with tattoos they hate are back in the Ink Master shop." " On paper, it seemed great." " I was a piece in a game." " I've been haunted by this." "announcer:" "The artist who tattooed them is also back looking for redemption." " The hell is going on?" " You just trust me to fix it." " I trusted you before, though." " You know why I'm here, right?" " You like cameras that much?" " I'm here to put you in your place." "announcer:" "Each week, the stakes are raised as shocking twists..." " Three shots at redemption here." "Let me get the third unhappy canvas." "announcer:" "Rival artists..." " Big Ceeze, you've been called out." " I don't even care who it is." " He doesn't care who it is." " He does now." "announcer:" "Family members..." " I think that your husband's a punk." "Better watch your mouth." " Or what?" " You and your wife can get the [bleep] out of here." "announcer:" "And angrier canvases than ever before." " Finish the [bleep] tattoo." " [bleep] what you're talking about." " Don't walk up on me like that." " Oh, I just did." "Yo, don't..." " Bitch, don't... announcer:" "All stand in the way." "When given the power and the choice..." " Do you have a decision?" " I do." "announcer:" "Will the canvas give their artist a second shot?" " A lot's on the line:" "art, ego, pride." " I can't get redemption tattooing you." " Get the [bleep] out of here." " You whore." " What did you say to me?" " You heard me." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hey!" " This time, redemption is much harder to come by." "[rock music]" " My name's Kito, and I competed in "Ink Master" season six." "It's my time to shine." "I put everything into my artwork." "I'm 6'7", 360, but to bridge that intimidation factor," "I use this nice smile I got." "We could pin-stripe this bitch like a six-four Chevy." "Being at the bottom is no different from what anything else I've always been through." "I show up and show out." " Here's the problem." "I don't think you can do it." " I felt like whupping' his ass." " You can make that a little more slender in the neck, so it's not so..." " It looks like pee." " It's a water splash." "This bitch is crazy." "Like, I can't figure out how to please her." " And I'm just gonna flip your table over." "I'm [bleep] pissed." " Last time I was on "Ink Master,"" "I had 99 problems, and 99 of them were canvases." "I really don't have any idea who to expect." "Oh, man." "I can't say who it might be till I come face-to-face with them." "Man, I feel like I might've got myself in a big old crack of bull[bleep]." " Gavin, welcome back." "So your artist was Kito." " Yes." " You must tattoo American traditional." " Hey, at least he's going through with it." " I know, right?" " The background on this thing makes no sense." "It looks like you were trying to hide something." " I thought about that after I did it." " Red on red is camouflage." " Gavin, why did the jury vote Kito to the bottom?" " The jury determined that the background with the red shading made it very unreadable." " I don't think so." " What is it about the tattoo that you don't like in particular?" " He added in some background elements and some stuff that wasn't originally on the stencil." "I've had people come up to me and ask me if it was a rash or something that I have on my arm." " Because of that little red area?" " Because of the red background." " It looks like a lesion of some kind." " Yeah, it's a little embarrassing, you know, 'cause you went into this process being, like," ""This is gonna be the coolest thing" ""that has maybe has happened to me in terms of getting tattooed."" "Maybe it wasn't the winner, but it was really hard being in the bottom three." " To be the loser is certainly not what you had in mind." " It was tough." " You know that Kito is here today, don't you?" " I had to assume, yeah." " Kito does not know that you're here." "You have an opportunity to go talk to him, confront him, clear the air." " Mm-hmm." " Would you like that opportunity?" " Yeah, I'd love it." " And if you want, possibly get tattooed again... design of your choice, or don't get tattooed." " Mm-hmm." " You are in the driver's seat." " Okay." " Kito's in the shop." "Why don't you go meet him?" " All right, thanks." " All right, buddy." "I sure hope that Kito brought some patience today, 'cause that is only canvas number one." " I want to hear him apologize for the problems in the tattoo that I have and hear that he is going to figure out a way to make it right." "[tense music]" " What type of bull[bleep] is this?" "That's what it is?" " Am I who you were expecting?" " Nah, man." " You want to take a look at this thing all healed up?" " Oh, look at that." " I gave you a lot of rope to do what you wanted to do." "I didn't want you to hang yourself with it." " No, I ain't hang myself like that, man." " You kind of did, so..." " You just trust me to fix it and make it right, man." " I trusted you before, though." " I mean, all I can do is just give you my word." "I thought I was gonna have to bark on somebody, but you the homey, man." " Alejandro, welcome back, bud." "So your artist was Kito." " Yes." " This week, you must find a unique way to use your canvas' anatomy to make your tattoo come to life." " What do you want to get?" " Grim Reaper with his hand extended on my forearm." "My hand is gonna be his hand." " Kito." " Grim Reaper here." "That was all coming out this way?" " He's about to come grab you." " The idea is that the hand that's attached to here is coming at you;" "Just a straight-on, frontal view of the Reaper doesn't work in this challenge." " The perception doesn't look like it." "From the wrist to his actual arm, it just looks, like, flat." "There's no depth." "There's no detail in it." " Has it affected your life?" " I'm a tow truck driver, so I'm always out, and I'm embarrassed of this." "He just [bleep] up." " What if I told you Kito's in the shop now?" " I put my faith in you to do a really great piece, and "great" is not a word I would ever use to describe it." " You go talk to him." "If you want to get tattooed, we can make that happen." "If you don't want to get tattooed..." " Just walk away." " It's all good." "You walk away." " Sounds good." " All right." "Alejandro, head in the shop, man." "Little does Kito know I have yet another canvas." "Kito is about to have a rough day." " I thought I was going home with an awesome piece, but, Kito, he dropped the ball on it." "I would like an apology, but I have to get my point out:" ""I came here to tell you what's wrong."" " It's hard to justify just giving you that free reign again when the last time, you couldn't nail it." "Oh, my God." "I thought this was one-on-one." " What's going on here, man?" " You dropped the ball on me, bro." "What happened?" " You can say that now, man." "It's cool if you want to say that now, brother, but..." " This is your field;" "You should knock it out the park." " Nah, I ain't [bleep] up, man." " Why are there two of us here, though, for the same artist?" " I gave you the opportunity." " But you still on my ass." "Like, I wasn't able to do my thing as a artist, you know." " My content was simple." "The design was easy, and you still [bleep] it up." " No, man." " Mary Jean, welcome." "Lovely to see you." " Good seeing you, too, Dave." " So your artist was Kito." " Yeah, unfortunately." " Today you must tattoo a Japanese koi fish." " I'm not happy with it." "Looks like my niece drew it." " Well, don't insult me, man." "Ain't nobody ever been unpleased with something I done did ever in my whole life till now." " You messed up my back, and you can't take full responsibility for that ugly tattoo that unfortunately I have to live with for, like, ever." " Okay, now, like I said..." " I don't think you're getting that." "I'm stuck with an ugly ass tattoo." "I don't even want to show my body." "Like, I don't even want to get naked." " That's a shame." " I was wearing shirts to have sex, and they're like, "Show me your boobs,"" "and I was like, "No, I have an ugly tattoo."" " What is it about the tattoo that you don't like in particular?" " The fish is unfinished." "He looks Japanese." " Do you mean the fish looks like it's an Asian fish?" " I guess French." "Did you see... his whiskers, they're, like, up." " Well, it's a Japanese koi fish." "That was the style of the day." " Kito [bleep] it up." " Do you think you played a part in making this a traumatic experience?" " No, I was the best girl ever." "Oh, my God." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop." "Bam." " I sat there;" "I took the pain;" "And then I'm stuck with this ugly ass tattoo, too?" "Like..." " The only way I can make this up to you is to give you the opportunity to confront Kito if you like." " I'm not the only artist in America that got two people that's not satisfied with what they got." " Go confront him if you like." " Yeah." " Maybe a get a tattoo from him if you like." "And if you don't like, you walk out of here." "No harm, no foul." "What do you say to that?" " Okay, I'm down." " Head on into the shop." " I came back to get my apology." "This guy irritated my skin." "He made that fish look so [bleep] up." "His ass was sent home for a reason." " So both you are out here." "We gonna get it poppin' and make [bleep] right, or we not." "Oh, man, what the [bleep] is she here for, man?" " Shut the [bleep] up." " I ain't even got nothing to say about this here." " You [bleep] up my back." " Hey, man, I'm not even talking to her." " Don't [bleep] I'm gonna be your champion." "There's three of us here." " Well, there's one of me, so it's like this." "I'ma stand right here, and y'all can do what y'all want to do." " So, yeah, it's three against one, you stupid asshole." " And I'm right here standing." "We can handle it any way y'all want to handle it." " My back..." " Yo, I ain't got to deal with this." " You do." "You're a [bleep] artist." " You couldn't even get... you couldn't get a tattoo in my shop." " That's the problem." " This bitch could sit here and keep on talking like..." " This bitch?" " This bitch, straight-up." " Don't go there with me." "Yeah, don't go there." " Don't walk up on me like that." " Oh, I just did, right?" "What the [bleep] are you gonna do?" "Nothing." " Yo, y'all need to get her." "Somebody need to get this bitch away from me." " Yo, don't..." " Bitch, don't..." " What the [bleep] are you gonna do?" "You think you're gonna push me 'cause you're on TV?" "Kito... season six... sucked." " I'm gonna get out of here before something happen to your ass." " Go." "Walk off." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on." " No, man." " Come here." "Come here." "You got... no, no, you've..." " Dave, he sucks." " You've got to slow down." "You've got to slow down." " He sucks." " Relax." "Sit back with these guys." "Look, they voiced how they feel, and they're calm." "You can be calm." " No, I'm not dealing with that, man." " Kito, bro, come back." " She went too far." " All right, I'm gonna have to make a call here." "I feel like your relationship with Kito is just too volatile right now." " Well, yeah, he needs to not call me a bitch, first of all." " Thank you for coming, but I'm gonna need you to exit the shop." " Thank you." "Bye, guys." "Good luck." "So pissed off right now." "Kito does not deserve redemption." "He should just, like, retire." "[bleep] him." "[knock at door]" " Dude, that was crazy." "Have a seat." " Come on, Dave." " How you holding up?" " I ain't got no time for no bitch like that, man, be coming at my sideways trying to..." " Listen, I can't have her disrespecting you guys and getting physical with you." "She's gone;" "You don't have to think about her ever again." "And the other two dudes, they're still here, and you have two choices here:" "Go back in there and just do badass tattoo today, or you can bounce." " We can go see what they gonna say, man." "But I already told them what's up, man." "We ain't got to do a whole lot more negotiating and stuff." " No." " You know, we past that stuff." " No." " Man, this is not what I expected." " Not at all." " All right, fellas, look who I got." "Crisis averted." "How are you guys holding up?" " That was crazy." "I mean, she came in just throwing daggers at you." "I can't even imagine how you have to be reacting to that energy." " You got to spray for roaches, man." "You know what I'm saying?" " No doubt, no doubt." "All right, guys, check it out." "Here's what's happening." "Kito, you've got two shots at redemption." "You guys can consult." "You designed both these tattoos, and you guys can choose whether or not you get them or not." "How are you guys feeling about that?" " Are you up to it?" " I'ma make it right." "You know, you got my word." "That's the most I can give you." " Only thing anybody has to agree to right now is looking at a design." "Make a choice from there." " All right." " Sounds good." " All right?" "Kito, thanks for coming back, dude." " All right, Dave." " All right, appreciate it." "Good luck to you." " Thanks, man." " Good luck, man." "[dramatic music]" " You want to go back into this form, man, and clean everything up?" " Um, I'd love to get, like, something all new, give you a real chance at redemption here." " Give me some ideas, man." "We'll just build up off of that." " All right, what I'd love to do is an owl, and I'd love to do it in black and gray." "I know that's your thing." " No problem, man." "We can do that." "I really do want to redeem myself with Gavin and Alejandro." "They really considering having me tattoo them again, so I respect that." "They unhappy with what they have, you know, let me make it right." "Everything all right?" " It's all right." " All right, let's get it going." "So what is it that I can do, you know, to get your trust?" " Actually going and do another perception tattoo in Jesus on a cross, where my hand is his hand crucified." " He wants another forced perspective tattoo." " I'm putting a lot of faith in you with this one." " You know, I'm gonna give you all I got, man, and I'll guarantee you, you know, you're gonna be satisfied with the outcome." " All right." " I got this." "It ain't nothing." "[rock music]" "♪" " You nervous at all?" " I don't know." "I feel like he could have produced better work." " Yeah, and like he's gonna put more pressure on himself or something, you know." " I'd rather leave with nothing at all than another bad piece." " No, totally." "It'll be very interesting to see." "[tense music]" "♪" " What's happening, gentlemen?" "Come on in." "You ready to see these designs?" " Yes." " Gavin, let's start with you." "What did you ask for?" " A traditional owl." " Kito, why don't you show Gavin what you got for him?" " Try to keep everything simple, like you wanted it." "I'm doing black and gray, so it'll give me a chance to really do my thing." " Gavin, what are your thoughts about the design?" " I like the layout of it." "I like the symmetry of it." "It looks traditional." " Do you want to get this tattoo?" " You're not gonna oversaturate the black in the wings?" "It's gonna be really smooth, good shading, black and gray?" " I already know, man." "♪" " Yes." " Great." "Redemption on the line, man." " Yeah, I'm with it, man." " Next up, Alejandro." "How did the consult go for you?" " The consult went pretty well, actually the same style of tattoo." " So you want another forced perspective tattoo on that arm?" " On that arm, give him a truly second chance to redeem himself." " Wow." "Okay, yeah, that's very bold." "All right, Kito, why don't you show Alejandro what you got for him?" "♪" " I'm not too thrilled with the perception." "It still looks like it's just one straight arm, and it's not growing." "I don't want the same mistake as last time." "[tense music]" " The moment of truth." "Redemption on the line for Kito." "What are your thoughts?" " 'Cause I don't want the same mistake as last time." "I'm too thrilled with the perception." "It look kind of the..." "straight through." " Correct me if I'm wrong." "You're worried that this doesn't have the forced perspective like you're looking for?" " Mm-hmm." " Yeah, I've got to draw the rest out on your wrist." "I'm gonna put it on there, so it will widen out." " Want to get this tattoo?" "♪" " I think I want you to stencil on, see how it comes out." " So that is a tentative yes..." " Yes." " Provided the stencil looks good to you." " Correct." " Appreciate it, man." "Appreciate it." " Two shots at redemption, Kito." "You down for this?" " I'm with it, man." " Gavin, you're up first." " All right, let's do it." " All right, guys." " I'll get you in a minute, man." "Let me grab a ruler real quick." " What do you think, man?" " Still second-guessing my design." " The angle of the body isn't quite..." " There." " Quite there." " That's why before I make the same mistake twice," "I want to see it, and if it's not right," "I'm gonna have to walk." " I thought mine came out really good." "It's exactly what I asked for this time." "That gives me a lot of optimism going into it, knowing that it's exactly what I want." "[rock music]" "This thing's got to be perfect." "I don't want to end up with another rash." " Looking like a rash." " Yeah." " I don't want nobody thinking I gave somebody a rash." " An ink rash." " You've got to trust me with it, man." " I'd be stupid not to be nervous a little bit." "Fool me once, shame on you." "Fool me twice, shame on me." " I'm surprised that Gavin would give up such a nice piece of fat real estate again." "Huge swing for the fences in terms of redemption." " So what do you think Alejandro is gonna do?" " All I can do, you know, to show him what I got." " True redemption, right?" " Straight up." " I'm a little nervous." "There's two of us." "I feel like he's not gonna be able to give it 100% of his attention." "But I'm hoping this time he can redeem himself and actually pull out the work that I expect from him." "[rock music]" " Like, that's about it." " All right, let's take a look." "[exhales] [tense music]" "♪" "Oh, man, yeah." "Yeah, it's dope, man." "I love it; there's no rash;" "Nothing that you added last minute." "Perfect." "Kito hit the mark listening to my idea." "The tattoo looks completely the way that I wanted it to." " All I ask is trust." " Totally redeemed yourself, man." "Looks awesome." " Guys, come on down." "Let me see this thing." " This tattoo is exactly what I wanted." "It's perfect." " All right, I'm down with that." "You guys ready to get started on number two?" " Yes." " You're doing the stencil, right?" " Yes." " No decisions yet, right?" " No decisions yet." " So you know what this guy's looking for, that forced perspective?" " Yeah." " All right, let's do it, fellas." " Moment of truth once the stencil's on, see what it looks like." "♪" " You seeing it?" " Like, there's a little too much arm." "Like, the arm is a little too long, 'cause I think that's the problem we had last time, is that the arm was just too much of an arm." " I see what you're saying." "Yes, I can make it do that." "You want to shorten this part right here?" " Shorten that part up just a little bit, yeah." " All right." " What are your thoughts on this forced perspective tattoo?" " I don't know that it's as much of a slam dunk as the one that I got." " I'm kind of shocked that Alejandro wants to do it again." " Yeah, he's looking for 100% redemption, so he's got to go two for two, right?" " I guess he does." "[tense music]" "♪" " What you think, man?" " It definitely lined up good, the illusion part." "I think you nailed it." " Is it a go?" "What you thinking?" "♪" " Getting ready to do this, bro." "I think that it's it." " I think we both know how I got to do it, baby." "[rock music]" " See I'm giving you a full chance of redemption here, the same location, same style tattoo." "First time around, we screwed up the whole perception." " Yeah, man, we got this, you know." " First time, you scribbled in, too, and then you're not gonna get it right, but..." " You feel like backing out, man?" " Hoping this time around I get what I came for originally." "♪" " That's about it." "All right, man, let's take a look." "♪" " This time we hit the nail right on the head." "It definitely flows good." "The illusion is perfect." "I love the detail in the face, the thorns." "You definitely redeemed yourself." " Cool, man." "That's what I was wanting." " Guys, come on down." "Let's see this thing." " Got the flow with it, man." "We just got in in the zone and got it poppin'." " Redemption all around." " Appreciate it." " Two for two, man, two for two." " I did two tattoos and going home happy." "I feel completely redeemed." " Kito, you know that means only one thing, right?" " What's that?" " Mary Jean, come on in." "I'm kidding." "[laughter]" " Kick your ass, Dave." " Just kidding, man." " [laughs]" "[rock music]" "♪" "[hip-hop music]" " ♪ Original"
