Along with its lineup of contestants, Ink Master season 14 has heavy-hitting judges. Ryan Ashley was the first winner of the series in season 8 and has grown to be a popular tattooer with a black and gray style. Nikko Hurtado is one of the world’s best realism artists, specializing in color realism portraits. Finally, there is Ami James, a veteran artist specializing in Japanese traditional. The show will be hosted by the singer of Good Charlotte, Joel Madden. The previous host, Dave Navarro, will return as the Master of Chaos, a job involving him throwing wild spins to create greater challenges for the competing artists.
Paramount axed Ink Master after 13 seasons in 2020. Through COVID-19, controversies, and the company rebranding itself, the show was let go. With a revival, it will return to drama, pain as needles dig into people’s skin, and world-class talent delivering their best work.
Coming from MTV Entertainment Studios and Truly Original, Ink Master season 14 will have 10 episodes. It will be executive produced by Glenda Hersh, Steven Weinstock, Andrea Richter, Benjamin Hurvitz, Jessica Zalkind, and Tim Palazzola. The series will premiere on the streaming platform on September 7.
