Season chronology |
The premise of this season was having four teams based on their respective home region with each region being led by an Ink Master veteran.
This season saw the return of four veterans; season ten contestants Jason Elliott and Frank Ready, who originally finished the competition in 4th and 8th place respectively, and season eleven contestants Angel Rose and Jimmy Snaz, who originally finished the competition in 11th and 10th place respectively.
There was no winner for the thirteenth season of Ink Master, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The three finalists (Bob Jones, Angel Rose and Jimmy Snaz) were awarded an undisclosed value monetary prize instead. The master canvases were revealed on YouTube Live.

20 artists, including four returning artists, are split into four teams based on regions: east, south, mid-west, and west. Each region has one returning artist. The artists are then challenged to create a tattoo that represents their state. The outline of their respective state must be included in the design. The artists with six lowest scored tattoos face off, with the losing artist being eliminated. Andrew quit the competition because he felt that the judges were giving him too much criticism.
