Redemption' Moment Caused By An Infamous Season 5 Tattoo

In the original "Ink Master" episode in which the ill-fated hula girl tattoo was featured, Tim Lees (pictured) himself expressed some misgivings about working with Jorge Contreras, hurling a series of epithets toward the client. Lees also called Contrareras a "control freak" (via Youtube). It also wasn't just Contreras that didn't like the way his hula girl tattoo looked, a design he said he picked out for his daughter.

"Inked" magazine ranked the Conteras tattoo among the worst ever done on "Ink Master," with one of the ugliest faces "Inked" had ever seen rendered in body art. When asked by "Ink Master: Redemption" host, the musician Dave Navarro, what it was like to have something on your skin that haunts you like a bad tattoo, Contreras replied (via Youtube) "It feels like someone took a piece of your soul." That was also before Contreras learned that Lees, whom he had clearly had issues with, would also attempt the repair work.
