Tattoo shows seem to be pretty popular and now Oxygen’s getting in on the action with Best Ink, a new competitive reality series set in the world of tattoo artists. Best Ink will debut on March 27, 2012 at 10pm ET/PT.

The Plot:

Best Ink pits ten of the best male and female tattoo artists from around the country against one another in this all-new competition. With nothing but their needles, ink, and passion, these artists compete for $100,000 and a cover story in Tattoo magazine. The contestants are guided through the competition by host and recording artist Kimberly Caldwell (American Idol). After each challenge, the artists are critiqued by head judge and world-renowned tattoo artist Joe Capobianco, international pinup model and tattoo shop owner Sabina Kelley and a guest judge from a rotating roster. Then one contestant is sent home.
