This season features 15 talented tattoo artists who are new to the show, breaking from the tradition of bringing back experienced veterans.

About the Ink Master Show Format
Ink Master adheres to a consistent format in each episode, featuring minor variations. The show commences with a Flash Challenge, where artists display their artistic skills in non-tattooing challenges such as painting or haircutting. The winner of the Flash Challenge earns the opportunity to select their human canvas for the subsequent Elimination Challenge and pairs up the other contestants with their canvases. The Elimination Challenge serves as the main event, evaluating the contestants’ tattooing skills on human canvases, often focusing on a specific style. After a day of consultation, each artist has four to six hours to tattoo their design.
Following the tattooing, the contestants face judgment from a panel of renowned tattoo artists and enthusiasts. The judges assess the tattoos, and contestants are dismissed, with typically four called back – representing the top two and bottom two for the week. The episode culminates with the announcement of a winner and the elimination of one contestant. The overall winner of the season clinches a $250,000 prize, the esteemed title of Ink Master, and a feature in Inked Magazine.
