Paramount+ announced today that Ink Master is coming back for its 16th season on October 23. The first three episodes will release on day one, with subsequent episodes dropping weekly on the streaming service.

Television's first tattoo competition series, Ink Master features artists competing in various challenges to assess their skills. Each episode focuses on a distinct style of ink, with noted tattoo artists and other enthusiasts judging the creativity and technical skills of the contestants.

In the upcoming season, 16 new artists enter the shop and put their skills and experience to the test in hopes of walking away with $250,000 and the title of "Ink Master." Joel Madden is returning as host, while judges DJ Tambe, Ryan Ashley and Nikko Hurtado are all back as well.
