While on the most recent episode D'Angelo had to tattoo three clients and his second one gave him a run for the money. You can watch a clip from his episode here, where you can see she almost didn't make it to the end.
D'Angelo's winning tattoo was a human heart, which can be seen here on his Facebook page.
"It was full color. It looked like I took a heart out of someone's chest and put it on someone's skin. It was really cool," said D'Angelo.
He came home the top dog bringing with him a $10,000 prize. D'Angelo was booted off the show when he made his first appearance on season two.
"I got to compete for five episodes," said D'Angelo. "Then I got this crazy, off-the-wall client that sent me home."
It wasn't long after that he made it back on Ink Master, this time tattooing the show's host Dave Navarro. Navarro was a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
"When you get a cool opportunity you've got to take it all the way," said D'Angelo.
