Ink Master is a reality competition show that follows the same format as shows like America's Got Talent. But instead of giving a platform to a group of talented performers, Ink Master provides an opportunity for tattoo artists from all over the country.
Ink Master stars Jane's Addiction guitarist and tattoo artist Dave Navarro, alongside judges Chris Nunez and Oliver Peck. It's been on the air for nearly a decade.
Ironbound Studios
Ink Master is a reality television show that tests the tattooing skills of tattoo artists from across the country. Its premise is that one or more contestants are eliminated each episode until a winner is crowned and awarded a $100,000 prize.
While a lot of the show is filmed in New York City, it also makes use of other cities for its filming. For instance, the twelfth season finale was filmed at the Pearl Theatre at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Sprawling over 47,500 square feet, Ironbound Studios is a large facility dedicated solely to television, motion picture and digital media productions. It offers full-service support spaces and stages for crews of up to 120 people.
The studio is located in the heart of Newark’s urban neighborhood. It is a short drive to Manhattan and close to the Newark Liberty International Airport. It also offers easy access to some of the largest hardware supply retailers and a variety of local restaurants and coffee shops.
The Ironbound Studios are home to numerous television and motion picture productions, including Spike TV’s hit reality series, “Ink Master”. The studio is the only stay-and-shoot (zoned residential) facility in the United States that offers fully serviced, managed and furnished housing accommodations for cast and crew on site.
Pearl Theatre
The Pearl Theatre is a resident acting company that presents classic plays in repertory. Its approach to theater requires that actors be individually and collectively capable of great range in style, period and character.
The company has presented plays by Shakespeare, Sheridan, Ibsen, Chekhov, Moliere, Lorca, Shaw and others. Under Artistic Director Hal Brooks, The Pearl seeks to lead a dynamic conversation about the past, present and future of great plays.
Ink Master is a television series that follows tattoo artists as they compete in various challenges. This competition show has become popular in the United States and is broadcast on Paramount+.
Despite its popularity, it has had some trouble financially and was forced to file for bankruptcy in the recent past. The company filed a petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Tuesday in the Southern District of New York.
Its troubles were a reflection of a growing financial crisis that has afflicted many small performing arts organizations. The Pearl had moved from its longtime home in the East Village to an expensive space on West 42nd Street in 2012, only to discover that it was increasingly unaffordable.
The Pearl Theatre filed for bankruptcy after 33 years, and closed its doors after a performance of Kate Hamill's Vanity Fair on April 2. Its demise reflects both the financial pressures faced by many small performing arts organizations these days and a series of missteps that the company had made.
New York City
Ink master is a reality show that has been around for over a decade. It has won numerous awards and is still a popular show in the United States.
Ink Master is an elimination competition where artists compete to win the title of ink master and a cash prize. The contestants are put through a variety of challenges, which test their tattooing skills. They also get to be judged by a panel of three people. These judges use a number of factors to decide who will stay and who will be sent home.
The judges are Oliver Peck, Dave Navarro and Chris Nunez. They are responsible for passing judgment on the contestants by combining information from their own perception, the audience vote and the human canvas vote.
But, despite being a reality TV series, Ink Master isn’t as real as it seems. Corey Matchem, who appeared twice as a human canvas on the show, recently aired out the non-realities of the show in an AMA on Reddit.
He said that they were actually discussing what they thought about the tattoos, but it was never shown. He also said that they didn’t have time to finish the tattoos as it was all for dramatic effect. And he added that there was no one who finished a tattoo late.
