Tattoo Artist: Ink Master: Season 9 Winner, Season 10, Season 12, Season 14

DJ Tambe

DJ Tambe is a tattoo artist who first appeared on Ink Master during Season 9, where competitors were challenged to tattoo under strict time limits, public critique, and unfamiliar styles outside a traditional shop environment. Like many artists on the show, the experience tested technical ability, adaptability, and creative decision-making under pressure.

Since appearing on Ink Master, artists take many different career paths. Some continue tattooing full-time in shops or private studios, while others focus on guest spots, conventions, teaching, or creative work beyond tattooing. Availability, travel schedules, and booking methods can change over time, so the most accurate updates are always found through the artist’s official links.

When available, this page may also include a podcast conversation with Kyle Dunbar, where the artist reflects on their experience on the show, their career before and after Ink Master, and the realities of working in the tattoo industry beyond television. Not every artist has recorded an episode, but profiles are updated as new conversations are added.

To view current work, booking information, or travel announcements, use the links above to visit the artist’s Instagram, website, or booking page.
