Bubba Irwin is once again going to be in Ink Master season 12. Despite going through some tough challenges the last time he was on the show, the creative reality star is giving it another go and will be re-introduced in the episode airing June 25.
Also, back on Ink Master season 12 episode 3 is another former contestant, Sarah Miller, who almost won the top prize when she first joined the series. As this season's theme is about the Battle of the Sexes, having Sarah back might just boost the women's chances to walk away with one of the big winners in this reality TV competition.
Bubba and Sarah's return has been teased in the preview for the next episode. It's clear that the competition is has been heating up.
The episode synopsis of Ink Master season 12 episode 3 reveals that some artists have to work harder to secure their positions in this contest. One of them, however, won't be "wired properly" thus this person will be sent packing up by the end of the episode. Who could his careless and unlucky contestant be?
Meanwhile, Ink Master season 12 episode 2 had an unexpected turnout as Elva decided to quit the series before the judges could choose who must go. The judges had been deliberating on her, Big Jazz and Alexis' fate when she stepped up and said that she no longer wants to be in the contest, per Ink Mag.
The judges thought that Elva's tattoo, which featured the head of Medusa, was not proportional and that this design has been a huge challenge for her. However, Elva believes that she did her best and will not have the judges dictate whether she's a good or bad tattoo artist.
Ink Master debuted on television last January 2012 with Dave Navarro as the presenter. The competition aimed to pit tattoo artists against each other to determine who's the best in the industry.
Contestants have to go through a series of challenges in Ink Master. The first one is the Flash Challenge, which does not entirely cover the act of doing tattoos. In some cases, it might entail hair cutting, painting, or burning. Whoever wins the Flash Challenge can choose the human they can work with for the Elimination Challenge, which is the toughest part of the competition as artists have under six hours to work on their designs. The judges -- composed of Navarro, Chris Nunez, and Oliver Peck -- then deliberate who will get eliminated or will win the title and the $100,000 cash prize.
