Season 12
Which generation will conquer the competition?
Synopsis
Ink Master (2012), Season 12 — watch online on iFILM, sixteen episodes built around a battle of the sexes: nine men against nine women.
Teams split by gender, and the coaching chair keeps changing hands as fan favorites from earlier seasons rotate in — Joey Hamilton, Ryan Ashley, Bubba Irwin, Sarah Miller. The prize stays the same: $100,000, the Ink Master title, and an editorial feature in Inked. The artists move through black-and-gray shading, surrealism, armor engraving, cross-stitch technique, color theory. The trouble often comes from within. One man, Cam, rubs his own team the wrong way until they band together to sink him, and alliances form and collapse week to week.
Pitting men against women sharpens the rivalry, but it also breeds betrayal inside each camp. The finale gathers seven veterans for a Clash of the Coaches, and the three finalists reveal their 35-hour master canvases. Stream Ink Master Season 12 online on iFILM.
