Season two judging was taken to a new level with audience voting participation through the series' official website and via Facebook voting, with the audience vote affecting the final ruling by the judges. Some episodes incorporate a fourth guest judge, usually a well-known tattoo artist who has knowledge or reputation in the style of tattoo (such as New School, Traditional (old school), Japanese, Portrait, Black and Gray, etc.) chosen for the week's elimination challenge. Navarro and Núñez appeared in every episode, while Peck was absent on two episodes of season nine when he was recovering from a heart attack. Musician Dave Navarro and tattoo artists Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck served as the show's primary judges, with Navarro also serving as a host for the show. However, the artists were allowed five seven-hour sessions for a cumulative 35-hour master canvas tattoo. The season three finale followed a similar format to the season two finale. Instead, the artists could choose those aspects for themselves, and the only restriction they faced was a time limit. This final piece did not require a specific tattoo genre or location for the artist to tattoo. Instead, it consisted of the three finalists meeting with their respective canvases for four six-hour sessions to create a final piece. The season two finale did not share this format. The final challenge was a marathon tattooing of up to 18 hours for the finale of season one.
At the end of each episode, a winner generally is declared, and one contestant is eliminated.
The four typically represent a week's top two and bottom two, though this breakdown can change. The contestants then are dismissed, with four later being called back. Once completed, the contestants meet as a group with the judges and are critiqued one by one. Each contestant is given four to six hours to tattoo their design the next day. Once the contestants are paired up with their canvases, they are given the day to consult with their assignment. Some Flash Challenges involve tattooing, but typically, flash challenges do not incorporate the act of tattooing but instead will require a non-related artistic skill (i.e., painting, haircutting, etching, burning, etc.) The winner of the flash challenge wins the right to select their human canvas in the elimination challenge and, as of season two, pair up the other contestants with their human canvases.Īfter the Flash Challenge comes the Elimination Challenge, a further test of the week's skill on a human canvas, typically incorporating a prominent style of tattooing.
