Ink Master - Season 13

The artists tattoo their home states and face blind critiques by the judges, a competitor makes a drastic choice, and patriotic tattoos decide someone's fate in the Face Off.

The South aims to unify and rebound when the teams are tasked with a postcard mural on the side of a bus, and a compass rose elimination tattoo includes a game-changing twist.

Ride or die, team tensions run high when the artists endure a tattoo marathon with the others from their home turf. The artists who fail to collaborate risk $100K and the title of Ink Master.

To test legibility, the teams spin intricate designs with yarn on outdoor canvases, then get technical with schematic tattoos.

Just as the Teams think they've figured out the Turf War, a shocking twist lights the competition ablaze and burns it down to its very core.

The Turf War is more intense than ever before and to survive the Artists must fight for every possible advantage and ally; cross-team alliance takes shape, and a glowing elimination challenge leaves one team burned.

A Team Challenge takes the Artists for a spin leaving them dizzied and out of control; the Turf War grows more intense than ever as the battle continues for $100K and the title of Ink Master.

The Artists hunger for the win, now more than ever before, when they tattoo sweet full color new school food tattoos; one Artist bites off more than they can chew.

The teams are put to the test in artistry with an Ink Master favorite: pin-ups.

The Artists' shading skills are tested in a monumentally hard Elimination Tattoo.

Pressure grows as the Turf War ranks run thin and the Artists' versatility is tested when an alliance strategy backfires, putting an unexpected frontrunner on the chopping block.

The artists fight for survival in an "Ink Master" staple: portraits; a shocking skull pick threatens the team dynamic; one artist shows precisely who they're looking out for.

Hosted by rock legend Dave Navarro and judged by icons of the tattoo world, Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck, 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 road to the finale begins with a 13-hour tattoo marathon; the artists must prove they have the endurance and skill to outlast their competitors and are worthy of the title of Ink Master.
