The sixth season of the tattoo reality competition Ink Master (subtitled as Ink Master: Master vs. Apprentice) premiered on Spike on June 23 and concluded on October 13, 2015 with a total of 16 episodes. The season was announced on December 1, 2014 and premiered on June 23, 2015. The premise of this season is to feature mentors and their apprentices as they compete against each other in an elimination-style competition with a $100,000 grand prize.
St. Marq returned for Ink Master: Revenge. He was the first veteran artist introduced to the competition. He was eliminated in episode 5 and was the first veteran artist eliminated.
The judges for season six were Chris Núñez, Oliver Peck, and Dave Navarro who also serves as host of the show.
The guest judges this season include Richard Stell (episode 2), Avan Jogia (episode 4), Mike Rubendall (episode 6), Justin Weatherholtz (episode 9) and Rose Hardy (episode 10) and Carter Foster (episode 11).
Allen Robinson, Tony Jefferson, Khaseem Greene, Keith Pough, Darius Slay and Kamerion Wimbley all appeared in episode 13 as guests in the flash challenge and as human canvases for the elimination tattoo.
As in past seasons, the artist with the best tattoo, as deemed by the judges, wins the challenge. Minor changes in the judging and associated rules have occurred throughout the seasons. During the final decision, the judges will vote for one of the bottom artists and the artist with two or three votes will be eliminated from the competition.
The judge listing types are:
Craig Foster, former season 3 contestant, returns as an apprentice.
