About this episode
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Ryan Ashley.
Though Ashley dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist as a teenager, she didn’t think it was realistic and became a fashion designer instead. Specializing in beads and lace, she ultimately used that eye for detail and deep understanding of tattoo culture to win Ink Master season 8 in 2016.
Since winning in 2016, she’s gone on to appear in spin-offs and other seasons, including serving as a judge on season 16 of Ink Master, which is airing now.
In a conversation with her co-star, Ashley reflects on her most meaningful tattoo, the challenges of being a working mom, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Ink Master set.
