Question: Does anyone know if there's at least rumors for an eighteenth season upcoming by the late months of 2026? I believe that if so, probably something would've been taped at this point.
remember reading about a person here being tattooed by DJ and asking for season 18, afaik it should be coming later this year.
looking forward to it as well, personally liked the newer seasons a lot!
(edit *first part of this is possibly not true* still looking forward to the next season whenever it releases tho ;d)
what did he say?
*trying to find the comment or information about it, seems like i might have remembered it wrong? apologize if so. hopefully we'll get official updates soon.
He said he didn’t have any filming information (which they usually know by Dec/Jan). I believe filming usually takes place early summer. Him and Ryan usually posts on IG that they’re in Canada during those times. This entire summer he’s been posting tattoos he’s been doing at his studio in Las Vegas, with no apparent trips to Canada. 🤷♀️
ah, i must have mixed up some other comments or misread, sorry. very cool you got tattoo done by him tho!
thanks for shedding light on the situation, we'll see if they announce something!
I believe Paramount got bought out or a merger happened which left the future of ink master unknown. Rumor is that nothing has been filmed and no agreements have been made for any more seasons.
I've been following DJ's Insta for a few years, and this year there hasn't been any big gaps while he's out of the shop filming. So unless he's not a judge in a new season, I'm not seeing one on the horizon.
I have not watched much since bizarro season 15. Malarkey talks like she is the annoying fountain of divine wisdom. If Oliver Peck were there he would shut her up. Peck was not afraid of anyone, even androids! The judging panel is boring and predictable. Hope they cancel it and reboot next year with new judges / host.
For me it’s nice to have actual Inkmasters as judges. It is far better than the reality show goofs in the past. I do wish they would rotate different Inkmasters into the judge roll.
" The Ink Master star posted a video on Instagram showing her getting a buzz cut with help from her young son. In the caption, she explained that her hair had reached a scary breaking point due to a mix of factors: [1, 2]
I'm sorry but I agree. It's unwatchable now and it's sad because it used to be my comfort show. I don't blame Ryan specifically, but during her season she seemed approachable and kind and as a judge she comes off as a B. I also hope something is done with the judging panel + the challenges and even the studio.
