The OGs will go up against the Young Guns on season 16 of Paramount+’s Ink Master. The revival of the popular tattoo competition series will be hosted by lead vocalist of Good Charlotte and co-founder of music companies Veeps and MDDN, Joel Madden.

Returning judges include three-time Ink Master champion DJ Tambe; the first female tattoo artist to win the competition, Ryan Ashley; and Nikko Hurtado, one of the world’s best color-realism artists.
