What are you looking for specifically in what constitutes a great tattoo? Tattooing is physically exhausting, and I can’t imagine doing three or four hours of it, and then having to come back and film. It’s not hard for me, I would say - it’s just fun. They really are tattooing, and not only are with us when we’re setting up a challenge but have to come back to be critiqued. The tattoo artists have the longest hours. How rigorous was the filming process for the show? You have to be a little crazy to do it, but it’s the best of the best on this show. The challenges are really crazy, and most artists like to be in control of what they’re creating, so to come into a competition and compete against other great artists takes a lot of courage. It takes a lot of grit, stomach and thick skin, so you really gain a newfound respect for the artists who come to compete. Not too many artists, in general, would do that because it’s really hard to put yourself out there knowing that only one person is going to win. These tattoo artists are putting themselves out there by coming on this platform. The competition is very serious with a lot at stake, so it’s very exciting to watch it all unfold in real-time. They care deeply about the tattoo artists. What was the chemistry like on set with the rest of the cast, artists, judges and co-hosts?Įverybody is just very down-to-earth, nice, and they really know what they’re talking about. Any tattoo enthusiast that gets to go to a convention, meet artists and experience the things they’re interested in is less like work and more like an enjoyable hobby. It was like eating at your favorite restaurant or going to your favorite place to have coffee. As a connoisseur of tattoos and an enthusiast of the tattoo culture, I feel like this was so easy. It’s rewarding to see people who have given their entire life to art and to get their perspective. I get to be a judge and a host with three other professionals who really know their shit.
With this show, it’s a large group of people, and it really comes down to the tattoo artists first. There are things about it that are harder because it does live and die by our success collectively. Some things about that are easier because I’ve been with this band since high school, so we all know each other so well onstage. When I’m onstage with the band, I have to lead the show. I am the frontman, so I am a little bit of a host of sorts. Performing onstage with Good Charlotte has been the best training I could have ever had.

How does hosting a TV series compare to performing live with your band Good Charlotte? You obviously have a background in hosting television, largely due to your stint as a coach on the Australian version of The Voice, so I can imagine you felt pretty comfortable hosting the new show from the beginning. I was a fan of the show - I watched it with my kids, and it was one of the shows that we watched a lot during the pandemic. It’s done really well on Paramount+, and so the audience has grown over time. They organically just reached out, and they were looking to reboot the series. How did you initially get linked up with INK MASTER and the team at Paramount+?
Does he not like dead air? (Not a hate comment by the way, just an observation.AP caught up with Madden after the announcement about his new role as the host of a major TV series, his favorite tattoos and artists, as well as his on-set chemistry with the show’s eccentric cast of characters. I'm not saying that they have to rip everyone to shreds and I understand that they're trying to find their own groove, but it seems like they're afraid to actually critique the tattoos or challenges.ĭoes Creepy Jason get paid to make a comment after almost every line Joel says? I swear every time they get told the challenge rules, Creepy Jason just pipes in with something. I could see him as a guest judge sometime but not a host. I know he has some big shoes to fill but he isn't a good host. Joel acts like he's annoyed that he has to be there at all. I know Dave never made a big show but he had something about him that everyone liked. Joel has the personality of a fast food napkin. I went into this season giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but after 5 episodes I've got some opinions. Thank you for making this post so I didn't have to! lol
