The returning artists from the East, South, Midwest and West fill us in on 'Ink Master’s' 13th season
Turf War

Last season, “Ink Master” pitted men and women against each other and this go around, they’ve separated the contestants by region for “Ink Master: Turf War.” The 13th season of the show brings together heavy-hitting artists from the East, Midwest, South and West, allowing the competition to decide which locale reigns supreme. In tradition with past seasons, “Ink Master” has brought back a few familiar faces for a second chance at the title—Jason Elliott and Frank Ready from Season 10, as well as Jimmy Snaz and Angel Rose from Season 11. We sat down with Turf War’s returning competitors to learn about how they’ve evolved since their original season and why their region is the one to beat.

Take us through your last season on “Ink Master.

Frank Ready: It was an incredible experience, but I don’t think I was completely prepared for it. You watch the show and you imagine that when you get there, you can nail it. But then you get there and realize you have to be as good on your worst day as everyone else on their best day. It’s a ridiculous experience that tests you on every level of artistry.

Jimmy Snaz: Season 11 was definitely a huge learning experience, I’d never been through anything like that before. I was freshly out of rehab and trying to get my life together. So I’m definitely a different person and artist now. Before “Ink Master,” I never really had a solid apprenticeship or a mentor. In a way, the judges were my mentors, along with my coach, Cleen. Before that, I never had someone critique my work and show me how to do better or what I should be doing differently.
