Old Town Ink won Ink Master season 9 and we couldn’t be happier for DJ Tambe and Bubba Irwin! They may have had a veteran on their team, but they were there pretty much since the start of the show and even though Bubba was a veteran he was still pushing himself to learn more […]

Ink Master exclusive: Unkindness Art talks elimination, final 4 and stress of competition

Unkindness Art was the last newbie, original team in the Ink Master season 9 competition and while we were stoked to see them make it to the final four, it was very disappointing to not see them headed to the finale. The final four teams were all fierce competitors with great talent, but for us, […]

Allegory Arts was our last married couple to be eliminated from Ink Master season 9, and as a married couple who runs a business, we were disappointed to see them leave (gotta root for the married couples!) They made it far and with this season of Ink Master being all about team work, we suspected […]

We are deep into the part of the Ink Master season 9 competition where really good artists are going home and this week we lost one of the teams we had pegged to win the whole thing this season: Artistic Skin Design. This season was all about team work and as a married couple who […]

Ink Master exclusive: Allisin Riot on alliances, elimination and returning artists

Jess Carter — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:21:38 +0000

Pinz and Needlez was our first ever all female team to be on Ink Master and they didn’t disappoint. Allisin Riot and Jessy Knuckles consistently brought us solid tattoos and they were one of the few teams this season that didn’t get wrapped up in the drama or alliances going on in the house. They […]

Are April Nicole and Dane Smith of Artistic Skin Design darkhorse contenders to win Ink Master season 9? There’s something about their personality and spirit that is rather infectious and in a competition as stressful as Ink Master, that’s something that can carry you pretty far in the game.. They’re not hyper-aggressive, and they haven’t been doing […]
