If you are a fan of reality competitions, this is one to check out! The challenges are crazy and the artistry is really impressive. The drama and characters the further you get into the show make for good tv as well. The spin off shows are also pretty solid, despite not reaching the quality of the core seasons. In my lists I actually rank all the Ink Master seasons (including spin offs) and I would recommend you to check out that list if you are looking for the best seasons to check out. Sucks that (in part) this was a COVID casualty, because it would be great to check this out year after year.
Average Season Review: 7.88/10
Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For Reality Competition Fans)
EDIT (After Revival Season 14)
After a show is cancelled, the expectations are always minimal on whether good content will ever stumble up. When Ink Master comes back for Season 14, and its arguably the greatest season we have ever seen...there is plenty reason to be excited! Here's to hoping for many future seasons.
Average Season Review: 7.97/10
EDIT (After Season 15)
Glad this seems to be back for good at this point. Another quality season. I have revamped my ranking system to have spin-off shows with two or more seasons stand on their own, therefore Grudge Match is the only spin-off still included in my average.
