On charter cable it has been broadcasting in Spanish for the past 3-4 weeks. Hello fix it so I can understand what is being said. Reported 3 weeks ago and yet still nothing being done. I love watching this show on spike TV but come on this is the only program being broadcasted in Spanish!!!!! Can't even watch the episodes on my computer because you guys don't list Charter Cable as a provider! This is flipping ridiculous!!!!

As a tattooed person and ink fan, I have watched this show since the beginning. I enjoy the competitive aspect but could do without some of the drama. I have definitely seen some cringe worthy tattoos, but also have been turned on to some amazing artists whose work I was not familiar with before Ink Master. I have also learned a ton about tattooing from the judges critiques. For a fan of ink, worth checking out.

I really like competition shows: cooking, house design, hair styling, furniture making... However, Ink Master is one of my top 5 faves. The people are true artists, and so temperamental. This combination makes for a visually appealing viscerally compelling show.
