We've congratulated Teresa up and down for her Best Ink win, but she's also been getting some pretty cray congrats from the masses.

Bonus Scenes: Unflattering Portraits for Everyone!

by Halley Bondy |

Apparently, all season long, the remaining Best Ink artists have been sketching portraits of eliminated contestants. They're not the most flattering chalk potraits in the world, but it's a little nice tradition that might bring tears to your jaded, jaded eyes. Or at the very least, it'll bring up old memories like Carolyn Cadaver, Melvin and Kelly. Yay? Watch the bonus video.
