Ink Master

Sixteen top tattoo artists hope to make a lasting impression on the judging panel in the third season of this competition series. Competing for a $100,000 cash prize and an editorial feature in Inked magazine, the contestants face technical challenges as well as one that tests their creativity, in which they must execute an original tattoo on command. The judging panel remains intact: renowned tattoo artist Chris Nunez, best known for his work on "Miami Ink," veteran artist Oliver Peck and host Dave Navarro, plus a roster of guest judges. And in addition to the judges, the competitors obviously have to satisfy the "human canvases" -- the people on the show who are getting tattooed -- who for the first time get to vote in the elimination rounds, helping to determine which artists are ultimately sent home.
