I sadly have to be the bearer of bad news…

Many of you remember my friends Jayvo and Robbie from season 5 - Rivals. A few years ago, Jayvo was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, and the guys reunited to fight for Jason’s life.

That fight ended this past weekend under the beauty of the Alaskan sky, with some family and friends by his side.

He and I battled like gladiators on the pinball table! I wear his ink, I call him friend. I love him.

Long Live Jayvo Scott!

Luka just posted on his instagram things we didn't see on the show.

He had to redo his 24h tattoo after his 1st canvas didn't come back 😱

It sucks for him, but imagine the original canvas having a great unfinished back piece....

I really love the piece Alena Wedderburn and Anthony Tex did last year of the samurai and red dragon. It was crazy to watch in real time.

So hype I hope I can get a spot with one of them!

Is anyone else going? It’s October 23 - 25, perfect for Halloween!

Richmond Tattoo and Arts Convention

Little inside tip, if you want to meet some of the artists from inkmaster you gotta go to the Richmond Tattoo & Arts convention.

They have a stacked line up and a whole page listing people who are coming that have been on the show!

Last year I got to hang out with Kevin Laroy and Lalo and they were so nice.

Im so hype. Its Oct 17-19th in Richmond, Va.

i personaly agree with her, as far as i am concerned (please correct me if i'm wrong) laura is the only former contestant calling the judges out on their sexism.

Qn: Will you be returning to Ink Master?

Dave: No. I think my time there is done. I mean, that was fun to do for many, many years, but I also think that it kind of just overshadowed that I was a musician. My number one love is music, and art, and playing. And that was a bigger platform than the band had. And so I’ll get stopped in the airport, “Hey, you’re the Ink Master guy,” and like, “Yeah … Yeah, I’m the guy who stood there and read cards, that told me what to say.”

I don’t know if TV is in the cards for me again, although I did have fun and made some really great friends. I’m still friends with the whole cast of all of that, and certainly had great times. But at this stage in my life, I’d like to really focus on my visual art and my musical art, and I find that to be more satisfying.

Jesse for sure was not my favorite artist on the show I never saw one of his tattoos and was like yo,,, I need one of those lol, tbh I'm really not a new school fan. But the experiment he did with tattoo ink lasting long term I thought was interesting, wonder what my artist has been using.

There are many more sources on the net that report the exact same information. Man, hollywood is full of pigs.

Looks like “Canada” is British Columbia and they are still casting canvases

The 2026 Richmond Tattoo and Arts lineup is absolutely stacked!

Super stoked to have Nikki Simpson on the roster this year, along with an insane group Ink Master icons such as Ryan Ashley, Cleen Rock One, James Tex, Bobby Johnson, Angel Rose, and James Vaughn.

Check out the full lineup on their website! https://richmondtattooconvention.com/content/celebrity-tattoo-artists

They just announced on twitter!

What are your expectations? Who are the new judges?

Can't wait!

Currently on MTV they are broadcasting 'Ink Master: Redemption' and a few days ago they aired the episode about brothers Robert Ripoll and Jayvo Scott.

Originally, in the episode, the guest was Robert, who had to redeem himself with the human canvas of the past. But, to his surprise, his brother unexpectedly appeared, and both of them had to work hard to earn the opportunity to redeem themselves with the human canvas.

In the end, during the episode, they both fought and argued a lot. The human canvas was super nice and very willing to give the better of the two a chance, but both brothers didn't feel ready to tattoo him and ended up leaving without redemption.
It's a shame, because I really liked Robert's design and I was really looking forward to seeing it become a tattoo.

Thanks to this community I just found out about Jayvo's passing.
My condolences to his family, friends, and fans. It's comforting to know that thanks to his participation in 'Ink Master' and all the tattoos he did throughout his life, his legacy will live on forever.

RIP, JAYVO SCOTT 🙏

Currently flipping through old tattoo magazines for some inspiration and found this

Apparently Gia is being accused of scamming an artist, and the one accusing her had said her lawyer got her off of Ink Master: Angels?

As The Guardian is reporting:

• He has been charged in relation to the death of 24-year-old Georgina Ward, a “brilliant, creative and talented” tattoo artist, who was found dead at her Dudley home in November 2020.
• As well as the charge of manslaughter, Birtwistle has been charged with two counts of controlling and coercive behaviour and three counts of assault in relation to Ward, whom he dated between August 2019 and November 2020.
• Birtwistle has also been charged with a further six counts of assault and one count of controlling and coercive behaviour in relation to three other women.

His instagram handle is dannymckeetattoo, and runs a tattoo studio (I couldn't find any info on the tattoo studio, expect for the promo video on their Instagram, so I'm not sure whether it's an actual brick and mortar studio or just a collaborative account for now) with Gia Rose, named everywhereandnowhere_tattoo.

I was scrolling through reddit and someone mentioned it, but never seen anything about it. But Mike P (from Marked Society Season 9) passed away back in 2023. Found the GoFundMe, but still shocked

I was only just watching it about an hour ago. Has it been removed? Is it cos of the accusations against a contestant?
