Artists will have to create miniature tattoos of famous works of art in the upcoming episode of Spike's "Ink Master" season 6.

In "Hail Mani," Zap2it reports that a tough challenge is in store for the eight remaining contestants. If their human canvases will not be enough to rattle them, then the rigorous task they will be facing surely will. In the next episode, religious tattoo virgins will be getting their first ink, on their fingernails no less.

That tattooists will be recreating popular artworks is a difficult talk already, but inking them in an area of the body usually not chosen for the task makes it all the more challenging. Cartermatt wonders how it can be accomplished, as nails grow out and continually get replaced. Will the ink go deep beneath the nail to penetrate the skin below? Just the very idea is intriguing enough.

Meanwhile, the contestants who allied themselves with Chris Blinston are now worrying that they are being taken for a ride. After one of their members got eliminated last challenge, they now think that the artist from Coral Springs, Florida is just using them to get to the end. Will some of them decide that it is time to jump ship?

Last episode, the first group challenge involved custom designing a Dodge Challenger. Blinston, Erik Campbell, and Craig Foster's design was a knock out for the judges, and they defeated the other two teams. The three now had the advantage of assigning the human canvases for the next elimination, which was to create a tattoo of an anatomical heart morphing into another image.

The artists were divided into three group. They then had to ink the same images – a lion, a clock, and a grenade. Blinston emerged the winner for the grenade morph, Katie McGowan for the clock morph, and Matt O'Baugh for the lion morph. The bottom three was composed of Dave Clarke, Duffy Fortner, and Campbell. In the end, it was Clarke's piece that was deemed the worst of the bunch.

"Ink Master" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EST on Spike.
