"What people like to do on Ink Master is they like to pick on the young one," she continued. "So somebody young has to win this competition."

Based on her work ethic and attitude, Velazquez sounds like she knows exactly what to do when painting ink on someone. With her creativity, she can do more than just print what's off a computer.

The contestant admitted that even though she looks like "America's Sweetheart," she is "very competitive" and a "sore loser."

The clip even shows a brief moment when the artist is not having it with the other competitors and is not afraid of telling it like it is.

"Doing well in this competition is important because I'm very good at what I do," Velazquez said. "So I just want my name on a higher level."
