- What the [bleep]?
Oh, my God.
- Are you kidding me?
- Welcome.
Team Nuñez competed in the last
elimination tattoo.
So that means this week, Team
Peck, you're up for elimination.
Each judge must thin out his
group until only
the top five artists remain on
each team.
The pressure is on.
This week, we're testing...
precision.
- What?
 - Precision means your lines
 are perfect.
Your color is laid in evenly.
 You have tiny, minute details.
 If a tattoo artist doesn't have
 precision,
the tattoo comes off as sloppy
or even unprofessional.
- To handle the pressure of this
competition,
you must be able to keep your
cool.
Corona believes it's important
to stay positive and grounded.
Sometimes you have to take a
step back and be carefree,
and that is called finding your
beach.
Today, we've brought the beach
here.
Team Nuñez, you're safe from
elimination this week,
and you are calling the shots.
For this flash challenge,
Team Peck must help each of you
find your beach...
by sculpting it.
- Just 'cause I'm
from Puerto Rico
doesn't mean I like to play with
sand.
- Really?
There's a saying, "Never build a
house on a sandy foundation."
Sand is unpredictable.
 It could fall apart at any
 time.
How are we gonna show precision?
- Team Nuñez, it's up to you to
decide, as a team,
which one of you will
be paired up
with each artist from Team Peck.
Your beach can be anything that
puts you in a laid-back,
positive state of mind and helps
you find your happy place.
Kelly, you won the last
elimination tattoo.
Because there are more artists
on Team Peck than Team Nuñez,
two artists will sculpt your
beach.
Take a moment to talk as a team
and decide
who is going to be paired up.
- We want them to have a hard
time with this thing.
- Do we want to lob someone an
easy ball?
- No.
- Someone has to win.
- My team today is
on a bye week.
 They don't have to compete.
 Hopefully my team plays smart
 so that Team Peck's
 top tattooer
 doesn't get skull pick.
- All right.
Team Nuñez, one by one,
please reveal which artist
must help you find your beach.
Kelly.
- I want to work
with Ryan and Matt.
I don't want to see
Ryan or Matt fail.
 I'm trying to play fair.
- I want to take Gian.
- Nate.
- I'm gonna take Dave.
- Boneface.
The last flash challenge,
Boneface didn't do [bleep].
- Hey, Boneface, we do need
someone to keep time.
- I worked.
Now it's your turn.
- I'm gonna work with Geary.
- I'm gonna take Mike.
- I'm gonna work with Gia.
Last week, Gia gave me the worst
canvas, but now it's personal.
 Gia shoot for me first.
Tuff Tito's shooting back
right now.
- The winner of the flash
challenge will have
the power to assign
all human canvases
in the elimination tattoo.
You have five hours
to help Team Nuñez
find their beach, and your time
begins now.
- It's my team's turn to be up
for elimination.
- How do you want this to go?
- The twist to this challenge is
that the opposing team
is gonna dictate to my team what
it is they have to sculpt.
- King Neptune
holding a Corona.
- Your competitor giving you a
challenge--
 chances are,
 they're gonna make it tricky.
- I love Gothic architecture.
- I want two palm tree
and a hammock.
- Really?
- My beach is a concert setting,
watching live music.
- More than one, like, person
playing an instrument?
- I mean, it's precision, so
yeah.
 - Nikki is playing the game.
There's no way you can build a
person with this sand,
 let alone a person playing a
 music instrument.
- Texas is my beach.
So I was thinking of doing a
longhorn skull,
cowboy boots,
and a rattlesnake.
- Ah, really?
That's a lot of things, man.
- You think so?
- This isn't a sandbox or, like,
a little sandcastle.
It's four tons of sand.
For a sculpture,
that's really difficult.
This is sand.
- Well, you're wasting time
talking about it.
- I really want this skull pick
because there's
a lot of really great artists on
my team,
 and I want to be able to take
 someone out.
Ahh!
Can I get a new shovel?
Little do they know, I have a
bachelor's degree in sculpture,
 and I'm from Florida.
I find my beach every day.
- Three hours, kids--
three more hours.
 [dramatic music]
 ♪ 
- Oh, my God, it's so good.
- If I have time,
I'll cover the cauldron.
- You should carve out a little
dome grave.
- Okay.
I [bleep]
love Kelly right now.
 I know she's on Team Nuñez,
 and we are going to go
 head-to-head very soon,
 but I'm really thinking
it'll be in all of our benefit
for all
 of the girls to work together.
- Oh, my God.
You're so smart.
I [bleep]
love you.
[bleep]
the rest of these guys.
- [chuckles]
 - My whole sculpture is
 literally falling apart.
I don't even think
that I can create
a palm tree at this point.
Damn you, Tito.
There is nothing left.
This is incredibly upsetting.
- Five, four, three, two,
one--that is it.
No more sculpting.
- Palm trees and hammocks.
 - Team Nuñez didn't win the
 first challenge,
 and so they're just gonna be
 [bleep] about it
and try to give us a really,
really rough ride.
 They're being super [bleep].
- All right, guys.
Let's get into these critiques.
Mike, John asked you to find his
beach.
What was the beach?
 - A beautiful woman with toes
 in the water
 and beer in the sand.
- It's hard to tell if it's
supposed to be a mermaid or not.
 Her legs just kind of
 disappear.
 Her breasts are basically
 laying on top
 of her belly button.
- What I will say is,
the way that you got
 the carved-out cheekbone and
 the eye--
 that's the shining moment.
It is recognizable.
- Nikki, you had Boneface find
your beach.
What exactly is your beach?
 - At a show, live music,
 concerts--
- I was gonna do a scene with
two guys playing instruments.
Sand said no, so we got a guy
playing bongos now.
- When I walk up and look at
this, I could not come up
 with any idea
 of what's going on here.
- As far as precision goes--
not too much in there.
- Boneface's sculpture is a
joke, and I just want
to see him in the bottom and out
of here.
- Sirvone, what did you ask Gian
to do?
 - The beach with my dog--
 the whole idea of a mermaid
coming up, trying to take the
beer.
- The waves in the front are the
only solid, legible piece.
The mermaid looks more like a
weird sea crab.
- The head of the dog that I was
making fell on my face.
- Looks like she's crawling to
her death.
Okay, Eric, what did you ask
Geary to do here?
- Gothic architecture.
 - It's a really cool idea,
 and it's a great use
 of the natural shape of the
 block you got.
- This is the one that has
symmetry to it.
 Every side has the same depth,
 so I think it's a strong take.
- Kevin, what did you want Dave
to do here?
 - I wanted him to give me a
 couple elements from Texas.
 - Where I really think you
 shined in this is the snake.
 The detail, the shape of the
 snake, is awesome.
 The flow of the snake going in
 and out
 of the design is amazing.
- Thank you very much.
- Sketchy,
what did you ask for here?
- Neptune breaching the water
with a Corona.
- The anatomy is really spot-on.
 Everything's in proportion.
- A couple different textures
have things what
 really bring you into the
 precision element of this.
- Particularly the attention to
detail--it doesn't
 have the trident, yet I knew
 exactly what it was.
- Thank you.
- Kelly and Matt,
what was your beach?
- My beach is back home,
in Salem,
in the cemeteries,
with the witches.
- Chose to do a giant witch face
and incorporate
the graveyard into that on the
brim of the hat.
- It's definitely a recognizable
witch.
 You don't have a lot of little
 details.
- The hair on the witch--I feel
like some more defined lines
 could've really brought that
 out a little bit better.
- So Kelly--
- Ryan had the same challenge
as Matt.
- Immediately, the thing that
stands out to me is the cat.
The head, the face--everything
really came together.
- Getting that different clay
color gives you
an element that nobody else in
the room has.
That really helps you stand out.
- Gia.
- Well, in order to find my
beach back home,
I need two palm tree
and a hammock.
- The whole left side collapsed,
so this was done in the last
hour.
- From across the room, it just
looks like nothing.
It's probably one of the weakest
in the room.
- I didn't give up.
I at least made it to the end.
I did the best that I could.
 - It's not my beach.
We need to play the game,
and we don't care
who leaving on the other team.
 That's part of the plan.
