'Ink Master': Joel Madden to host Paramount+ revival

Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Paramount+ is sharing new details about its Ink Master revival.

The streaming service said in a press release Friday that the reality competition series will return for a new season Sept. 7.

Ink Master features tattoo artists who compete in various challenges. This season will see the contestants vie for a $250,000 prize and the title of "Ink Master."

Joel Madden, a singer for Good Charlotte and the Madden Brothers, will host the revival, while former host Dave Navarro will return as the "Master of Chaos," introducing crazy twists and game-changing bombs to the competition.

Former Ink Master winner Ryan Ashley, celebrity tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado and industry veteran Ami James will serve as judges.

Ink Master initially had a 10-season run on Spike from 2012 to 2018. The series then aired for two seasons on Paramount.

Season 13, Ink Master: Turf War, ended early in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
