Ink Master preview
Titled Ink Master, the reality competition has been on television for more than a decade now. Paramount Network cancelled the series after season 13 in 2020. This season is also notable for being the only season with no winners as the result of the pandemic, although Bob Jones, Angel Rose, and Jimmy Snaz were announced as finalists.
The launch of Paramount's streaming service Paramount+ led to its revival in 2022. The new series saw Good Charlotte vocalist Joel Madden replacing Dave Navarro as host and Ink Master judge. Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck also didn't return, introducing a new set of judges including season 8 winner Ryan Ashley and tattoo artists Ami James and Nikko Hurtado. The revival instalment (season 14) is the first season to feature four judges instead of only three.
In the upcoming season 15, Madden, Ashley, and Hurtado all return as judges. Previous season finale winner DJ Tambe also joins as the show's new judge, replacing James. While season 14 featured returning artists, the new season consists of 15 entirely new contestants competing for the title of "Ink Master" and US$250,000 cash prize (a hundred thousand dollars in the previous seasons).
