A group of the country's most creative and skilled tattoo artists compete for a hundred thousand dollars and the title of Ink Master. The stakes couldn't be higher with "living canvasses" donating their skin to be permanently marked in this adrenalized competition elimination.
The New Ink Class
15 brand new Artists enter the competition and must immediately fight for a shop. A game-changing twist shakes up the competition. The battle begins for $250,000 and the title of Ink Master.
Skull & Bones
An illuminating first Flash Challenge puts the new teams to the test. In the Elimination Tattoo, a seemingly straightforward Subject Matter forces some of the Artists out of their comfort zone. The battle heats up for the title of Ink Master.
Put Me In, Coach!
The Artists must rely on their Coaches in the Flash Challenge to design for a very special Human Canvas. There's nowhere to hide with 360 degree Elimination Tattoos testing adaptability.
Don't Fork It Up
The artists must use their creativity to transform an ordinary object into an intricate sculpture in the Flash Challenge; the artists show their true colours with hybrid beast Elimination Tattoos.
Teams Transformed
A Team shuffle transforms the Competition. Transforming tattoos are judged blind.
Saddle Up, Buttercup
Yellowstone actor Jefferson White joins as a Guest Judge of western tattoos.
Fight Fire with Fire
The Artists try not to lose their composure when they must paint with fire in the Flash Challenge, and a Science-themed Elimination Tattoo puts their skills under a microscope.
Competition Shattered
The top five Artists try not to crack under the pressure in their final Flash Challenge and a twist on portrait day puts their drawing skills to the test.
Instant Karma
The top four Artists call out their fellow competitors to earn their spot in the finale, but if they dish it out, they had better be able to take it, because Karma is one tricky lady.
