Overview
Three local artists compete with one being eliminated in each round. The first round served as a two-hour elimination tattoo where the artists must tattoo a body part in the style and subject of their choice in order to impress the Angels. For round two, two artists had four hours to tattoo a subject the city's known for. Originally, Season 1 featured the local artist picked the Angel they want to face on the day of the face off. But starting with Season 2, it is revealed that the winner of the second round will face a random Angel. The Angel and the local artist will then draw white skulls that will determine who gets one of the two human canvases before the six hour process begins where they have to tattoo a subject inspired by a certain theme in the human canvas and or city. The Angels, the eliminated local artists, and the audience each get one vote following the conclusion of the tattooing. And if the local artist gets the most votes and successfully takes down an Angel, they will earn a spot on Ink Master.
