Nothing in the first round of the competition is straightforward as the tattoo artists have to take on the judges' specialist styles and face up to a double elimination

The eight remaining artists take a walk on the wild side as they tattoo images of their clients' beloved pets including a tribute to a deceased micropig.

Seven contestants remain in the competition and the stakes are getting higher, with another elimination on the horizon. To avoid being shown the door, they'll need to get through two more tough challenges. Jay Hutton and Rose Hardy welcome some flamboyantly colourful customers in the shape of drag kings and queens, with tattoo requests that include a steak pasty! Plus, there's a reality check for the contestants in the form of guest judge David Corden, an industry legend who's there to test for the finest realism work.
