Doing a tattoo is a highstakes version of filling out the crossword puzzle in pen—once you make a mistake there's no going back. We asked our panel of artists about the worst mistakes they've ever made, how they fixed them and the importance of keeping your composure so the client doesn't flip out.

At this rate, we’re pumping out seasons of Tattoo Artists React faster than those “Now This Is What I Call Music'' psychopaths. This time around, we’ve brought back some of your favorite characters to share their ridiculous stories, per your requests. We also had the chance to sit down with some folks for the very first time. This season you’ll watch us tackle the big questions, tell some silly tales and react to this thing the kids seem to love called TikTok.
