- Welcome, guys.
Each week,
you've had to rely on your team
to help you gain advantages,
but for this flash challenge, you are on your own.
♪ ♪
Every decision is completely on your shoulders.
This week, we are testing detail.
- Details are all the subtle nuances
that make up an image.
It's all those details that really
pull it all together and really showcase
what the image is.
- To make it through this competition,
you must use the tools that empower you
to compete at your highest level,
week after week,
and nobody does that better than Lara Croft.
- That's dope, man. - That's right.
I'm talking about the new feature film "Tomb Raider,"
starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft,
the fiercely independent daughter
of a missing adventurer.
She must push herself beyond her limits
as she journeys into the unknown,
and whether it's her iconic icepick
or her bow and arrow, she always has the right tool
for whatever obstacle she encounters.
- These guys in the competition
don't really understand having such a huge
female role model to look up to.
Lara Croft is the ultimate symbol of woman empowerment.
- Today, your canvases are all strong women
who welcome any adventure and push themselves
to overcome obstacles.
For this flash challenge, you must tattoo
a permanent representation of the tools that empower them.
- Sick.
- To do these women justice, you must make sure
that every tiny element is flawless.
If your details aren't on point,
your tattoo will be a muddy, unreadable mess.
- The object here is to make every detail HD for us.
Go the extra mile to give them something that really works.
- Win this challenge and you will have the power
to assign all the human canvases
in the elimination tattoo.
Let's meet your canvases.

Canvases, please tell us what tattoos
you're hoping to get today.
- I'm a police officer, and I would like a police hat,
badge, and an American flag.
- I'm a retired Air Force master sergeant,
and I want combat boots with dog tags.
- Oh, dope.
- I'm an EMT, firefighter, and Air Force veteran,
and I would like a tattoo of a set of rescue arms
with a stethoscope wrapped around it.
- I'm a cancer survivor and a scholar,
and today I would like to get a bow and arrow
for my transition to a better future.
- I'm a public defender,
and after losing my father a few years ago,
I went through a very dark time,
so I'd like to get a lady justice
rising from the ashes.
- Okay, one by one, please choose a skull.
The name on the bottom of your skull
will determine your artist.
- Jason.
- Frank.
- Jeremy.
- Roly. - I got you.
- Daniel. - Right here.
Stethoscope? Skethoscope?
I don't even know how to say it,
let alone tattoo it.
I need Lara Croft's help
with just saying "stethoscope."
- Fame.
- Juan.
♪ ♪
- Deanna?
- Amanda.
- Josh. - Right here.
- Okay, artists.
You have six hours, and your time starts now.
- Hi. - Good to meet you.
- Let's start doing a little
discussing real fast. - Okay.
- In testing detail, these artists really need
to pay attention to these items that the canvases want
and make it stand out,
make it strong, make these women proud.
- I want my master intel badge on one of the dog tags,
and then my dates of service on the other.
- I want it in a watercolor. - What?
- This is like every day at a tattoo shop--
somebody comes in, they want a specific item,
it's your job to do it.
These guys should all kill these tattoos.
- You said that you have been battling cancer?
- Yeah, but it's my first year, technically, of remission.
- Really? - I'm actually ending, like,
that chapter of, like, thinking about the past.
- Yeah. - It's a good thing.
I'm very emotional.
- That's okay. - I'm an emotional human being.
- Oh, honey, I'm emotional too,
so if I see you start crying, I might cry too.
When you actually get the chance
to impact someone's life
and how they feel about themselves
is the whole reason I got into this industry.
Just stand natural.
When I came in as an apprentice,
there was not a whole lot of care
for the fact that I was even there.
It's a huge blow to your ego when you're told
all you are is a cute face and a tight ass.
I'm gonna make it in this industry
because I have the talent to back up that cute face.

♪ ♪
- You wanted an old world map? Is that what you wanted?
- Any kind of a map at all. I'm a geospatial scientist.
- This is my time to finally shine.
Instead of just doing a skull with the map inside of it,
we're doing a skull globe.
I'm gonna show detail by making sure I get
every tiny little state and country in this map
on this skull.
Being in this industry,
it makes you have to learn to speak up
and stand up for yourself.
I'm excited to show off.
- Three more hours.
♪ ♪
- I know Josh likes to do big things,
so, and impressive.
- My canvas wanted a Lady Justice
rising out of the ashes.
We changed the design
to be more of a phoenix
to represent coming out of a really dark place
to where she's at now.
You ready? This is gonna suck.
She overcame so many hardships,
and that's exactly what I'm doing:
I'm being held down
by every other contestant in here,
and I'm gonna fight past every one of 'em to the end.
♪ ♪
- I do what I can
in the short amount of time they gave us, you know?
I'm really used to listening to my own gut and my own ideas,
and when I get different ideas, they just get me confused.
At this point, bro, I'm just kind of
doing my thing, and [bleep] it.
- Yeah. All right.
Maybe, like, the little lines in the tape or gauze, or...
- It's a little too late, you know what I mean, so...
I can't go in there and grab the machine.
- He knows about it.
♪ ♪
You gotta give me a little-- a little blacker shading.
- Mm-hmm.
- Definitely shade off the bevel.
Make sure you give me black where black goes, baby.
Dark.
- All right.
- Push everything else forward.
- I feel even more pressure today because of
how important this tattoo is to my canvas.
She served a lot of time in the military.
- So you were in the Air Force how long?
- 21 1/2. - 21 1/2.
- Two boots means twice the amount of detail.
All the detail that goes into one boot,
I gotta turn around and do
the same thing to the other one.
I'm ready to show people what kind of threat I am,
and I'm gonna fight to the end, and I'm gonna win this.
- Five! Four!
Three! Two!
One! That's it. Machines down.
Time is up.
No more ink.
- High five. Rock it out.
I love it.
- Do you like it?
♪ ♪
- [speaks indistinctly]
Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Like, I'm done with cancer, so it's like--
this is dope, for real.
- Glad I got to do it for you.
♪ ♪
- All right, guys, it is now time
to critique your work.
Let's start with Jason.
So, what do you do?
- I'm a history professor, and so
it really beautifully integrates
all of the work that I'm doing, the research that I'm doing.
- Having that open book with the flowing pages
gives me a sense of a cool breeze,
and then you have really great details
in these little areas.
That looks great.
♪ ♪
- Juan. - I love the fact...
that you put the little tooth in the center of the flower.
- But I really wish that you would have defined
where the wraps are going,
'cause it kind of blends together
and looks like a mummy a little bit.
- Of course it looks like a mummy--
it's a body with wrappings.
What's the difference?
- Amanda. I particularly like what you did with the bow--
all the tiny little lines in the handle,
and then the feather work of the arrow--
very delicate,
and it all remains very feminine.
You did a great job.
Daniel.
- The details in this are great.
You do a really clean, crisp tattoo.
- But if you know how an axe handle works,
the strength of the stick is the grain running longways.
If the grain's running through this way,
it'll snap.
- I mean, that is style.
That's [bleep] style, that.
Hey! - Jeremy.
- A lot of really great detail in the small buildings,
the tiny little nautical stars in there.
It's very clear and very legible.
- Buddy, I think this is the best tattoo
I've seen you do here-- your crispest, tightest,
sharpest, cleanest piece that you've produced.
- Thank you. - Roly.
- This tattoo shows a great attention to detail--
the detail on the laces, the consistency
of the thickness of the laces
all the way through each turn and bend.
It was a detail challenge, and you hit it really strong.
- Fame. - The shining moment...
of this tattoo is in the camera--
so many small little circles in there and ovals--
but they might be the worst leaves I've ever seen.
- If the flower is a traditional flower,
then the leaf has to be traditional with the flower.
♪ ♪
- Josh.
- I like the fact that the detail
really lies in the face, really lies in the wings.
The actual scale patterns are all right on the money.
You're swinging for the fences.
- Man, I sweat right to that last second.
- That's a huge tattoo.
- Yeah, that was stupid.
- Josh's tattoo is huge.
It's almost as big as his ego.
- Frank. - That top flower is busted--
just three weird lines with red in between them.
As far as hitting the detail in the impact wrench,
you killed it, and then you busted it up
with a pretty weak traditional flower.
- Deanna. - The details in the skull...
and the map are really meticulously done.
I love the little bit of texture you got,
just in the stippling effect
to separate the continents from the rest of the skull.
- For me, this is your shining moment.
- I am so glad that we didn't have to work
as a team today, because I rocked it on my own
as a strong lady.
Thank you.
I am the Lara Croft of this entire competition.
- Nailed it. - Nailed it.
