He then traveled through Europe for three years, which enabled him to work with his favorite tattoo artists. The experience expanded both his artistic sense and his knowledge of tattooing. While primarily known for his European and Japanese tattoo pieces, Chris Nunez tattoos are versatile. You had to be able to fill that order no matter what. The show — detailing the tattoo adventures of artists and the people who get them — helped launch Nunez , Kat Von D, and Ami James, amongst others, into the world of television personality.
This article will answer every question you have about Chris Nunez Below are some of the frequently asked questions about him. Chris Nunez is an American tattoo artist, television personality, and entrepreneur who hails from Miami Beach, Florida. Nunez is a partner in Ridgeline Empire, a media corporation that operates the subsidiaries Ink Skins, and Upset Gentlemen. The partnership also has an animation studio that produced two animated series that were released in Hoodbrats and Toothians.
He's doing well: Helm has over , followers on Instagram and owns his own shop, Empire State Studio. Recently, with the disappearance of Oliver Peck, Helm has been the subject of social media chatter. He has long been mentioned by many fans as the artist who should have won season one , and some say he's the "odds-on favorite" to serve as replacement.
Whether or not he does come back into the Ink Master fold, Helm is still a big player in the world of elite tattooists. Scott Marshall was an extremely talented artist who thrived on work combining technical skill with beautiful imagery. In the season four finale, he beat out Sausage, one of the most admired artists of the series, who would go on to return several times.
Tragically, Marshall died of a heroin overdose at the age of 41, a year after winning. While he remains the only winner to die so quickly after starring on and winning the show, he's not the only Ink Master to pass away. Clint Cummings' mohawk and straight-up approach to his fellow contestants made him such a memorable artist in season two that they brought him back in season three to be a human canvas.
Sadly, he died of cancer in at the age of 36, just four years after he made it to seventh place. Tattooing is a male-dominated industry, and Ink Master is no exception. Before season seven, the highest-finishing female was Sarah Miller in season two, and then Tatu Baby in season three. No woman finished above ninth place in seasons five and seven. Ashley became the first female Ink Master champion — but that was only the beginning of her journey. She also won as a coach on season 12 of Ink Master: Battle of the Sexes, elevating her to the vaunted status of being a two-time winner.
She's also been the cover girl for Inked magazine several times. In one issue bearing her on the cover, she announced her relationship with tattoo artist Arlo DiCristina.
She later announced their baby on the cover of another issue. They reign as the first family of tattooing. Cleen Rock One was the runner-up of Ink Master season five. He later returned to the show and became the runner-up of season seven. Time and again, Cleen showed off his skill with his bright, bold, new-school tattoos.
He and Aaron Is represented their shop, Golden Skull Tattoo, in season nine, but only made it to fifth place. In this season, Cleen mentored and coached a team against one led by his rival, Christian Buckingham.
Cleen's team included eventual winner Tony Medellin, making him the winning coach. It seems the fourth time's the charm. Cleen also appeared in season one of Ink Master: Angels. Cleen currently runs his own shop in Vegas, and also maintains an online shop , which sells merch and tattooing supplies. Sarah Miller, a renowned portrait artist, had a dramatic showing in her Ink Master debut in season two, full of intense monologues and emotional rollercoasters.
And it's been kind of this kind of reemerging explosion, because when I was a kid, I grew up in the graffiti world. I'm talking like a real kid, like eight years old till I was Then at 18, I started tattooing and I took everything and all my energy and put it into that, because it was so difficult at the time to kind of grasp that I'm tattooing people's skin.
So I took that really serious and put everything into it. But to your point, being able to see what happened over the course of the pandemic for me, it's a total — it's a renaissance because we saw amazing music. We saw writing, we saw screenplays, we see art, we see this whole tech world diving into this NFT market. We see everything exploding, but anybody who took the time to create is reaping the fruit of their creation now, right?
Because you're seeing so many opportunities emerge and I think the artists are now, through what has happened and through all their hard work and through tech, are finally going to get a fair shake on heart. So I know Color Collab isn't the only thing you've been busy working on. I was wondering if you could give us any hints about the other projects you have in the works.
As far as Color Collab goes, I will tell you, we have some amazing contests coming up very shortly like in the next couple of weeks. And we will be dropping NFTs and we are actually going to do for the first ever launch We have some really exciting NFT launches, our partner artists and my friends.
We are going into other genres of art quickly and emerging into the things that we really are attracted to, which is cultural, a lot of murals and street art, a lot of graffiti. So that's a huge next step in the plan that we are working on currently. We're in development. From my time at "Ink Master," I got to learn a ton about how the back of the house operates, and I'm so grateful for the time that I spent there, because now I can executive produce.
So I actually, during the pandemic oddly enough, was part of a Netflix project. And I'm executive producer back of the house on a show called "Tattoo Re-Do. It was actually with one of my old bosses that was a head of a network that left, and we were talking. So I always stayed really cool with all my coworkers and everything, we were talking and we got out there and we produced the show and I cast it with my friends. So the majority, everybody that's a tattooer on there, is an old friend of mine.
It was really great to kind of put the light on other people and step back and just watch it all come to fruition. And that leads us to "Tastemakers," which is a show that we have in development now that we'll start shooting next month for [Color] Collab, which really revolves around Toby and I's friendship, because Toby is the tech guy and I'm the art guy. So we're going to take each other on these adventures to meet and see these different things that play and sometimes fuse them together.
It seems like you've been definitely busy outside of the app as well. We don't have a tentative date, but we're looking at somewhere in the next two months. So we just haven't received our final date from Netflix, but I'm excited to see how people receive it. I'm sure to approach unscripted television from a different angle was super exciting and interesting too.
So we had to say goodbye to "Ink Master " over the pandemic. I was wondering what it was like closing that chapter and saying goodbye to the show around this time last year? You know what it was really, I think it was something that when I reflect on everything that happened in the course of really what we saw happen in the United States and, again, globally over the course of time, that was just a small glimpse.
Nothing's gone until it's dead. So, you never know what's in the future. You never know what there could be. And in the meantime, I have heard whispers that they're bringing something back or whatever, and I wish them all the luck in the world. I stayed busy as I could. And I got my head down and I'm focusing on all of the positive and you know, I'm really excited about Collab. Coming off a show like "Ink Master," do you feel it's kind of prepared you for this next step in your career as an entrepreneur and an arts advocate in any different ways?
