Artists will be awestruck with the arrival of big time clients in the upcoming episode of Spike's "Ink Master" season 6.

In "Player's Choice," Zap2it reports that the remaining six contestants will be both ecstatic and nervous to know that they will be creating tattoos for professional football players. In this task, some contestants will feel pressured into impressing their National Football League (NFL) heroes, while others will treat it as a walk in the park. Who will cave in from the tension and who will excel?

Meanwhile, in the second challenge, super fans will get inked with permanent autographs. Will the tattooists be able to pull off such a difficult assignment? Perhaps their alliances will help them out, as it has become more and more obvious that two major pacts are working the game.

Cartermatt reports that Craig Foster and Matt O'Baugh are still solid with their deal, while Chris Blinston and Tyler Nolan are still as thick as thieves. Will Duffy Fortner and Dave Kruseman be forced to choose which side they will be on soon? Blinston is obviously bent on building a three-man team once again and viewers can be sure he will be trying to recruit one of the free agents.

Last episode was a tear-jerker, with the contestants teamed up with guest artists who have Down syndrome. They created designs for their partner to use in inking the family members who wished their tattoos on them. The judges were all impressed with the artists, which meant there was no winner for the flash challenge. Instead, they were asked to pick a skull and the person who would get the one marked with an "X" would have the ability to assign the human canvases.

Erik Campbell lucked out and he was able to do the allocating. The challenge was to create Victorian-style tattoos on one of the most sensitive parts of the body – the neck. Come judgment time, Nolan, Foster and Kruseman's designs got great reviews. Fortner's work particularly impressed the judges and he ultimately won the challenge.

Campbell, O'Baugh and Blinston composed the bottom three. Although the human canvasses chose O'Baugh as having the worst tattoo of the day, it was Campbell who got sent home.

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