Season chronology

The premise of this season was having four teams based on their respective home region with each region being led by an Ink Master veteran.

This season saw the return of four veterans; season ten contestants Jason Elliott and Frank Ready, who originally finished the competition in 4th and 8th place respectively, and season eleven contestants Angel Rose and Jimmy Snaz, who originally finished the competition in 11th and 10th place respectively.

There was no winner for the thirteenth season of Ink Master, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The three finalists (Bob Jones, Angel Rose and Jimmy Snaz) were awarded an undisclosed value monetary prize instead. The master canvases were revealed on YouTube Live.

Judging and ranking

Judging Panel

The judging panel is a table of three or more primary judges in addition to the coaches. The judges make their final decision by voting to see who had best tattoo of the day, and who goes home.

Jury of Peers

The artist who wins best tattoo of the day gives his/her respective team and another team the power to put up one artist for elimination.

Pardon

Each of the three judges can give a pardon to any eliminated artist of their choosing so that they may return to the competition after being eliminated.
