On the seventh episode of "Ink Master," the competition continued to heat up.
Following a grudge match tattoo challenge, team members were then tested on their technical application. In the end, the judges felt that Austin Rose (Artist, Robot Piercing and Tattoo in Portland, OR) did not have what it takes to be the next "Ink Master."

Paramount Network gets under viewers' skin with "Ink Master," the network's hit tattoo competition reality series. Some of the nation's top tattoo artists battle it out in permanent ink for a $100,000 cash prize, an editorial feature in Inked and the title of 'Ink Master.'
"Ink Master" contestants compete in various tattoo challenges that not only test the artists' technical skills, but also their on-the-spot creativity, where they must create and execute an original tattoo on command. Challenges focus on different tattooing techniques, such as shading, line and proportion, and styles including photorealism, Tribal, American traditional, and pin-up. The series is produced by Truly Original.
