AMH continues to rub Puma the wrong way.

Draya is beginning to feel like AMH and Jahnova are the mean girls of the house. She doesn’t think their reaction to Liza’s revelation of using a dating app to get clients was fair. And they were also too critical of Miracle’s attempt at a challenging piercing. While the finished project wasn’t great, Draya and Liza think Miracle showed initiative. And that is important. 

Jahnova and AMH don’t believe they have been acting like mean girls. In fact, Jahnova says Puma and Teddy need to start firing people based on talent and skills. 

When Puma confronts AMH about this, AMH has no regrets about her actions. In fact, she even accuses Liza of playing the victim. In a green screen interview, Puma says AMH is being a bully. And they can’t have any more bullies on the show. Producers then flashback to past explosive moments with Sky and Donna. 

Rok and Krystal move even faster.

Krystal and Rok meet with their mothers to tell them they are getting married the next day. Their mothers think this is ridiculous and there is no need for them to rush into marriage. However, Rok and Krystal don’t want to wait for another second. Krystal just bought a wedding dress. So they are going through with this. And although their moms aren’t happy about their decision, they refuse to miss out on their big day. 

Teddy and Puma look on as the newbies tattoo at Miya Bailey’s Atlanta tattoo shop. They ask him who he would cut. And he tells them Santana misspelled a client’s tattoo. However, she’s hungry. And hungry people tend to be loyal and capable of growing to become great artists. Puma agrees. In a green screen interview, he says Richard misspelled a tattoo once. But he’s now thriving and owns a tattoo shop. 

Puma and Teddy make a shocking decision. 

It’s elimination day. So Teddy and Puma make their way to the house. While Santana did make a mistake, they feel Liza has the least experience. They don’t want someone who is too much of a newbie in their brand-new shop. So Liza is fired. 

She’s caught off guard by this decision. In a green screen interview, she breaks down in tears. And she says the reason she was let go doesn’t make any sense. 

Puma then says they are going to fire one more person. And they have decided that person is AMH. Puma explains while AMH is a great artist, her treatment of her peers wasn’t cool. So she’s a liability despite her level of talent. 

AMH is upset about this decision. She thinks it’s unfair that she’s being fired for “having an opinion.” 

Krystal and Rok tie the knot. It’s an emotional day for the couple. And they are determined to do whatever it takes to stay married.

  1. Can someone explain how can Puma and Ted determine who’s a good artist when neither can tattoo. They are dismissing skilled artists because of attitude issues rather than judging them on their talent. They have no clue what they are doing.

    Also, why do I the young lady that misspelled use spell check before she starts. That would be what a good Manager would suggest to their artists if they were having an issue. Ted and Puma can’t even correct ca misspelled because they can’t tattoo. That was something Cesar could do.

  2. I am glad that woman got sent home yeah she can tattoo but being a BULLY and arrogant is bad for business
