In this, Kelly Doty, Nikki Simpson, Gia Rose and the season's overall champion, Ryan Ashley Malarkey, travel the U.S. looking to spotlight talented artists. In each episode, the "Angels" host a competition at a local tattoo shop between three artists, and the best of the lot as judged by the ladies faces one of them in a final challenge. At stake for the locals is a spot on Season 10 of "Ink Master."
