Season chronology |
Ink Master: Grudge Match – Cleen vs. Christian is the eleventh season of the tattoo reality competition Ink Master that premiered on Paramount Network on August 28, instead of its original air date September 4, and concluded on December 18, 2018, with a total of 16 episodes. The show is hosted and judged by Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, with accomplished tattoo artists Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck serving as series regular judges. The winner received $100,000, a feature in Inked magazine and the title of Ink Master.
The premise of this season was to have Ink Master veterans Christian Buckingham and James "Cleen Rock One" Steinke return to coach two teams of nine artists, similar to the premise of the previous season, and for them to settle their rivalry that began on the seventh season of the show. The live finale featured the final Grudge Match between the coaches where the number of artists that were left on their respective team gave each of them the power to sabotage each other, in which the winning coach would also receive $100,000.
The winner of the eleventh season of Ink Master was Tony Medellin, with Teej Poole being the runner-up. The winner of the Grudge Match was James "Cleen Rock One" Steinke.
Judging and ranking
Judging Panel
The judging panel is a table of three or more primary judges in addition to the coaches. The judges and the coaches make their final decision by voting to see who had best tattoo of the day, and who goes home.
Jury of Peers
Season 11 once again featured the jury of peers. But this time, the artist that wins best tattoo of the day gives their respective team the power to put up one artist for elimination.
Contestants
The first episode featured 22 artists competing to be one of the 18 artists that were split into two teams of 9 artists. The top 14, who were chosen by the judges and the coaches in a blind critique, chose which team to be on while the remaining 8 artists that were not selected went head to head in the knockout round that determined who got the final spots on Team Christian and Team Cleen.

22 artists step into the ring at Gleason's Gym where they had six hours to create a tattoo in their choice subject while incorporating a style each coach is known for. Either Christian's specialty black and gray or Cleen's specialty new school. Afterwards, the judges and the coaches will judge each tattoo in a blind critique without knowing who did what. The top 14 artists will then pick who they want to be one. Team Christian got Angel, Chris, Oba, Jess, Gonzo, Tim, Teej and Amanda who were ranked first, third, eighth, ninth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth respectively. Team Clean on the other hand got second ranked artist Tiffer, followed by fourth ranked artist Tony, fifth ranked artist Tiara, sixth ranked artist Kyle, seventh ranked artist Jamie, and tenth ranked artist Turk. The remaining 8 artists face off one last time as one high ranked and their respective low ranked artist artist had five hours to tattoo against each other. The lower ranked artist will get to choose the style they must tattoo. The winner of each knockout round will pick the team of their choice. Jennifer and JP tattooed a traditional Japanese koi fish. Matt and Jimmy tried to create an American traditional female head. Desi and Austin bring a color illustrated female head to life. And Stacy and DeVonne try to do the same style as Jennifer and JP. JP completed Team Christian and because of this, the final three spots automatically go to Team Cleen with Jimmy, Austin and Stacy rounding out the team. | |||||

Following the critique, Cleen tries to weed out the weak on his own by choosing the two weakest links. Team Cleen got into an intense argument that caused Tiffer to leave for a little bit. Amanda and Tim convinced Cleen to put up Stacy and Austin because they have been the big problem on his team ever since he got stuck with them. Cleen ultimately chose Stacy and Austin as his two weakest links.
