Ink Master: OGs vs Young Guns is the sixteenth season of tattoo reality competition show, Ink Master which was announced on October 2, 2024.[1] It will premiere on October 23, 2024, with the first three episodes premiering on Paramount+ and the following episodes being released weekly. Good Charlotte vocalist Joel Madden returns as host, while season 8 winner Ryan Ashley and Nikko Hurtado return as judges for their third season and three-time champion, DJ Tambe, returning for his second.[2]

Like the previous season, artists compete against each other for the title of Ink Master as well as a $250,000 cash prize. The season contains 16 new artists competing, which were unveiled before the season premiere. The season sees artists who have been in the industry for more than a decade and a group of newer artists who have only been tattooing for a few years.[3]
