Season chronology |
Ink Master: Return of the Masters is the tenth season of the tattoo reality competition Ink Master that premiered on January 9 at 10/9c and concluded on April 24, 2018 with 16 episodes. The first two episodes of the season marked the series' last to air on Spike prior to the network's transition to Paramount Network nine days later on January 18. Despite this, the remaining episodes continued to air on the new channel. Host Dave Navarro returned alongside co-judges Oliver Peck and Chris Nunez.
Season 10 featured three teams of six artists that were led by three Ink Master winners which includes Steve Tefft from Season 2, Anthony Michaels from Season 7, and Old Town Ink's DJ Tambe from Season 9. The live finale featured the coaches going head-to-head in the first ever Master Face Off. Team DJ became the only team to win two major prizes. Joshua Payne from Cortland, New York won the $100,000, plus a feature in Inked magazine and the title of "Ink Master." Payne's coach DJ Tambe also won the $100,000, making him the first and only Ink Master to win two consecutive seasons.
Judging and ranking
The judge listing types are:
- Judging Panel
- The judging panel is a table of three or more primary judges in addition to the coaches. The judges and the coaches make their final decision by voting to see who had best tattoo of the day, and who goes home.
- Master Jury
- Similar to the human canvas jury and jury of peers, the coaches will select one artist with the worst tattoo of the day to be put up for elimination.
- Jury of Peers
- At the live finale, the eliminated artists choose one artist and one coach to advance into the final two.
Contestants
The first episode featured 24 artists competing in a two part marathon to be one of the 18 artists which will then narrow down to the team's six members who were drafted through the first day of competition. In part one of the marathon, the top 8 artists chose who they want to be on while the coaches in the second part will finalize their respective team by picking one of the remaining 16 artists. Several confirmed have already secured a spot to compete on Season 10 following their respective Angel Face Off win in the spin-off Ink Master: Angels. Those were Deanna Smith, Sparks, Rachel Helmich, Daniel Silva and Tim Furlow. But neither Helmich nor Furlow were chosen to be on one of the teams.

Dave welcomes the viewers to the live Ink Master finale from Las Vegas as the coaches put the final touches on their live finale tattoo. The coaches went first with their tattoo while the artists reveal their epic chest piece. The judges also critiqued the coaches' head tattoo. The eliminated artists get into a heated debate over who should advance to the top two. The judges then decide which of the top two artists will win the title of Ink Masters. Ink Master veterans Cleen Rock One and Christian Buckingham were introduced to plug the upcoming eleventh season that will finally see them settling the score with their rivalry as coaches.
In addition to one artist, the jury of peers also picked one coach to advance into the top two.
