More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Daughtry, DPR IAN, and Atiba Jefferson, Ryan Ashley will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
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.
