Paramount's 'Ink Master: Turf War' has been increasing the difficulty level each day to ensure the competition gets fierce and it has. In tonight's episode, the artists were tested on their composition skills. While everyone aced the flash challenge, the elimination really pushed the contestants to their limits. 

The contestants were tasked with designing Japanese cranes on their canvases. It was tough because no one had studied it before, except for Bob Jones who was confident he would pull it off. By the end of six hours, the artists had finished their versions of the subject and the ones getting inked seemed to have liked it but the judges - Dave Navarro, Oliver Peck, Chris Nunez - not so much. 

It was one of those rare moments on the show when they couldn't come to a consensus about which artist had the best tattoo of the day. The panel thought they had all made mistakes and were off in their reimagination of Japanese cranes. However, Jimmy Snaz and Bob were out of danger, which put Jerrel Larkins, Angel Rose, and Kelly Severtson in it. 



 

Even though Oliver thought Angel's cranes had the "worst anatomy" in the room, Dave and Chris were unimpressed by Jerrel's work. He has had three wins in the past and is proficient, understands his craft well but was probably having a bad day. As he took the exit and began packing his machines, Chris arrived and announced that he had been saved. 

Every judge is allowed to use one pardon throughout the show. That way, they can save a contestant of their choice. Dave had brought back Jason Elliott. 

Meanwhile, fans are relieved that Jerrel was saved and felt Angel should have gone home because her cranes looked like a dead swan. Angel wasn't very confident about tattooing Japanese cranes to begin with. She said the concept was very "cloudy" for her. 

"Angel tatted a dead swan with jacked up wings and tonal clouds. #InkMaster," a viewer shared, another wrote: "#InkMaster Angel's did not look like a crane..Looked like a goose...period......"

"What bullshit. He drew the damn bird Better than any other person down there. Angel had a dead swan on skin. #InkMaster," a viewer tweeted. "Thank god at least Jerrel got saved BUT, Angel's bitch-ass should've been out the door, I can't understand how Dave and Oli favored Angel's Crane in a blender over Jerrel's #InkMaster," a user expressed.

"Are you kidding me @inkmaster? Angel should have went home...no doubt. Her tattoo did look like a swan more than a crane and it did look like you put the bird in the blender. #inkmaster," another tweeted. "Fucking Angel Rose's tattoo isn't even a fucking crane. It's a god damn swan or goose! It's not even close to what it's supposed to be! #inkmaster," said another.
