These are the Best Tattoos of Ink Master Season 13

What were your favorite tattoos from this season?

This season of Ink Master was truly one for the books. Not only was the live finale canceled and a winner not declared, but there were so many amazing tattoos to choose from. This season, there were incredible tattoos done by artists across all styles (and regions) including American traditional, neo traditional, new school, black-and-grey and even tribal! Take a peek at some of our favorite pieces from the season in the gallery below, then let us know your favorite tattoo from Ink Master’s 13th season in the comments section on social media.

Week 1: Home State Tattoos

Angel Rose

This piece by returning contestant Angel Rose sure is a California dream.

Master Canvas Tattoos

Bob Jones

Now that’s some beautiful black-and-grey.

View this post on Instagram

Bob Jones might have struggled with black and grey throughout the season, but you’d never know by looking at his master canvas. This is his take on a Harpy, a mythological embellishment of a messenger that bestows punishments on evil doers. Not only did Bob show that he is diverse in his artwork, but through the use of rotary and coils, he showed how diverse he is in his craftsmanship. “I really wanted to show that I can not only do realistic aspects, but I can also do illustrative realism within a single subject matter.” – @badcaseofpurpose

A post shared by Ink Master (@inkmaster) on Apr 16, 2020 at 7:01am PDT

Jimmy Snaz

Gotta love a big ol’ traditional piece.

View this post on Instagram

The story behind this super intricate American Traditional chest piece by Jimmy Snaz is incredible. He is truly a master of his style! “People make these perceptions about you based on a very small thing that they might see on the internet or on TV. Just the way in society that we kind of make these blind judgements about each other. It was important for me to do a good tattoo but also do something that is a reflection of what I see every day. I see this every day. So hence, I give you blind judgement.” – @jimmy_snaz
