Season chronology |
The fourteenth season of the tattoo reality competition Ink Master premiered on Paramount+ on September 7, 2022. The season ran for 10 episodes, with the finale premiering on November 2, 2022.[1] The show was revived after its cancellation in 2020 as part of Paramount Network's then-planned shift to movies. Lead vocalist of Good Charlotte, Joel Madden serves as the new host and judge, replacing Dave Navarro. Three new judges replaced Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck, including season 8 winner, Ryan Ashley, Ami James, and Nikko Hurtado. This is the first season of the show to have four regular judges.[2]
This season sees ten returning artists, as well as four winning artists, from previous seasons to compete for the title of Ink Master and $250,000. The artists were announced ahead of the premiere.[3] Navarro appears as the "Master of Chaos", introducing new twists to the challenges. The season did not have a live finale, making this the first season to not do so since season one.
DJ Tambe won the season, making this his third win, with Gian Karle being runner-up, Bob Jones placing third, and Creepy Jason placing fourth.
Judging and ranking
Judging panel
The judging panel is a table of four primary judges. The judges make their final decision by voting to see who had best tattoo of the day, and who goes home.
Jury of Peers
All the artists together discuss to determine the three artists who will be up for elimination. In the finale, some of the eliminated artists determined the first artist for the top three and then helped the judges break the tie to determine the winner of the season.

The result for the final spot in the Top 4 is revealed. DJ was the third highest ranked artist in the Tattoo Marathon and secured the final spot.
In order to win the season, the Top Four must do a 24-hour back-piece Master Canvas. Split into two 12 hour sessions back-to-back, the artists are able to do what they want. Once the judges finish critiquing their work, a jury of peers will return to vote one of the artists into the Top Three. Unlike previous seasons, the finale is not live in front of an audience. Angel Rose and Anthony Michaels return to form the jury of peers. Their top two choices were Bob and DJ, but they ultimately chose DJ to be in the Top Three due to the creativity of his piece. The judges then decided to eliminate Creepy Jason due to not having a main focal point in his tattoo. Bob is then eliminated because of readability issues. The judges have a heavy debate between DJ and Gian's tattoos. The jury of peers, which now includes Bob and Creepy Jason, have to vote as well, due to being a tie. DJ is declared the winner of the season, making this his third win.
