‘Ink Master’ Season 13 Finalists Reveal Their Master Canvas Tattoos

While a winner will not be crowned this season, these finale tattoos are spectacular

On April 15th, 2020 “Ink Master” announced that due to COVID-19, they would not be holding a live finale for their 13th season and a winner would not be crowned this season. After Tuesday’s episode, it was announced that Angel Rose, Jimmy Snaz and Bob Jones would have been the three artists attending the finale. Although they didn’t compete at the finale, each of these artists created two 25-hour master canvases to present on stage. Let’s take a look at the tattoos that would have determined Turf War’s winner.

It’s all going down tonight! With the cancellation of the #InkMaster finale due to COVID-19, the artists will be revealing and discussing their master canvas tattoos during an exclusive Master Canvas Reveal event, tonight at 7 pm EST across all of our social pages.

Thanks to “Ink Master” super fan, Derek Paradis, we get to view each contestant’s work side by side—starting with Rose. Rose was one of the returning artists, previously placing 11th on season 11. On season 13, she was a stand-out competitor, winning three challenges. However, she was eliminated in episode 12 after falling short on the versatility challenge, but she was pardoned by judge Oliver Peck and allowed back into the competition.

Rose created a black-and-grey back piece, which is her signature style and features two Grecian warriors. According to Paradis, “Her illustrative back piece represents her story as a warrior in the competition and she’s looking at her inner self holding a sword to determine her destiny in the battle as a strong warrior and she was very powerful telling her story through her art.”

For her second 25-hour tattoo, Rose created a color bio-mechanical chest piece—which definitely reminds me of the piece season 12 finalist Dani Ryan created for the finale.

Here are @theangelrose’s 25-hour black-and-grey illustrative backpiece and 25-hour full colour biomechanical chestpiece. Her illustrative backpiece represents her story as a warrior in the competition and she’s looking at her inner self holding a sword to determine her destiny in the battle as a strong warrior and she was very powerful telling her story through her art. Lots of smooth gradients, solid blacks, contrast, textures, composition, artistry, and depth. Her chestpiece is biomechanical with blue organic mechanical pieces with a fiery orange and yellow light source to get the glow effect and a warm-to-cool colour ratio. Even if there was a finale, she wowed and surprised me. Lots of great details, contrast, textures, dimension, composition, and artistry. You did amazing with your work and I’m super happy to have seen you come back to compete again and I hope our paths will cross again and there are no losers or winners bcuz you showed us that you’re not afraid and you had a strong competitive heart and fight in you and you made California and West Coast proud. Great work Angel and stay safe. #biomechanicaltattoos #blackandgreytattoos #inkmaster #inkmaster13 #inkmasterseason13 #inkmasterturfwar #turfwar #girlscantattoo #girltattooersarehot #girltattooersareawesome #girltattooersaretough #angelrose #femaletattooersrock #femaletattooartist #paramount #paramountnetwork #paramountinkmaster #paramountnetworkinkmaster #losangeles #teamwest #tattootuesday #tattooartist #tattoo #tattoos

Next up, fellow West Coast competitor Bob Jones. Jones is the only rookie contestant who made it to the finale and during the season, he took home three wins including the one in the last episode.

For Jones’ back tattoo, he also went with black-and-grey and crafted a harpy, which many fans thought would win him the title if the finale was held.

His chest piece was also color bio-mechanical, which is a familiar style for Jones.

Here are @badcaseofpurpose’s 25-hour black-and-grey illustrative backpiece and 25-hour biomechanical chestpiece. His black-and-grey piece is an illustrative lady morphing into eagle wings and feet for a mythological feel. The harpee in mythology is the messenger that bestows punishment upon evildoers and carries their bodies to the god of the underworld, Hades. Lightning strikes to represent a storm that either takes her off or land and the artistry and details, composition, textures, contrast, gradients, and blacks are all solid and amazing. And his biomechanical chestpiece is also awesome. Being that he loves turning people into robots, biomechanical is his go-to band he found a way to incorporate the organic sand negative space that flow well on the body part so there are some that are on his shoulder blades and armpit but the placement is perfect. Awesome composition, details, contrast, solid colour theory, saturation, textures and depth. You’ve made Portland and West Coast proud and I hope you stay safe and I’m glad you had such a life-changing experience on Ink Master. #bobjones #inkmaster #inkmaster13 #inkmasterseason13 #inkmasterturfwar #turfwar #teamwest #portlandoregon #biomechanicaltattoos #blackandgreytattoos #paramount #paramountnetwork #paramountinkmaster #paramountnetworkinkmaster #tattootuesday #tattooartist #tattoo #tattoos

Last up is East Coast veteran, Jimmy Snaz, who competed alongside Rose in season 11. During season 11, Snaz placed 10th, but he certainly redeemed himself in season 13. This time around, he got two wins and played to his strengths as a traditional artist throughout the season.

For his back piece, which was black-and-grey, Snaz created a female Grim Reaper, which according to Paradis “represents the rough and dark moments he went through with drug addiction.”

His 25-hour chest piece was in his signature style of American traditional, and according to Paradis, “based on small things just the way in society that people make blind judgments of certain people who may look different.” Personally, this is my favorite tattoo of the finale and based on past contestants like season 6’s Kruseman and season 11’s Cleen, a big and bold traditional piece can sway the judges in your favor.

Here are @jimmy_snaz’s 25-hour black-and-grey illustrative backpiece and 25-hour American traditional chest piece and these represent his story. His black-and-grey tattoo represents the rough and dark moments he went through with drug addiction and temptation and so he designed a woman in a Grim Reaper cloak with a scythe and a snake coiled to represent that in our darkest moments, there’s always a light that shines and he used high contrast, solid blacks, smooth gradients, composition, textures, details, and depth. In his 25-hour American traditional chestpiece, it was a story how people perceive him based on small things just the way in society that people make blind judgments of certain people who may look different. The centre has a burning witch in the centre being tied to a nail coming out from a devil’s mouth and two traditional girl heads blindfolded (speaking blind) and spitting out daggers that are stabbing a sacred heart lighting the witch on fire and the serpents are doing the Devil’s bidding with flowers. And he hit bold lines, solid saturated colours, composition, textures, depth, contrast and amazing artistry. I truly commend him for the artist and warrior that he is for telling his personal story through these two tattoos alone and I know everybody would’ve been excited to see him do a biomechanical piece and who knows, maybe one day he will consider biomechanical as his next tattoo drawing game for a special somebody. Great fight bro, it was awesome seeing you compete and I hope you stay safe and let you know that you’ve made the east coast and Boston, Mass. proud. Great fight my man. #jimmysnaz #teameast #bostonmassachusetts #inkmaster #inkmasterseason13 #inkmaster13 #inkmasterturfwar #turfwar #blackandgreytattoos #americantraditionaltattoos #paramount #paramountnetwork #paramountinkmaster #paramountnetworkinkmaster #tattootuesday #tattooartist #tattoo #tattoos

What do you think of season 13’s master canvas tattoos? Which artist do you think deserved to win based on these tattoos? Did Jerrel Larkins, who won five challenges during the season and narrowly missed the top three, deserve to make it to the finale? Let us know your thoughts on this story on social media.
