Its makeup and rules mimic those of season 2, with some changes to make it unique from the previous season, but not so extreme to make it stand out from the series. Season three follows sixteen tattoo artists competing against each other in an elimination-style competition that will leave the last person standing with the title of Ink Master, a $100,000 grand prize, and a feature in Inked Magazine. Dave Navarro and Chris Núñez lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013.

It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Dave Navarro is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. The kind of thing that generates strong opinions in every room it is watched in.
