Things You Should Know

  • Apply to be an Ink Master canvas online by filling out the application here: https://www.castinginkmaster.com/human-canvas-application.html
  • In order to be a human canvas, you must be over 18 and a Canadian citizen. You also must be vaccinated against COVID-19 at the time of filming.

  1. Yes, you can apply online to be a canvas on Ink Master. Simply head to Ink Master’s website and fill out an application with your name, number, and address. The application will ask you other questions, like how you would describe your personality and how many tattoos you have already. It will also ask you to describe the potential tattoo you’d like to receive and where on your body you’d want it.[1]

    • To fill out an application, head to https://www.castinginkmaster.com/human-canvas-application.html.
    • Be sure to read the application fully, including the terms and conditions near the bottom, before submitting.
    • Ink Master only reviews applications when they’re getting ready to shoot a new season. If the show is not currently casting, wait until they are to submit your application.

  1. 1

    You must be over 18 and a Canada local. Ink Master is only allowed to tattoo legal adults, so you have to be over 18 by the time the show is filming. And, since Ink Master is based in Canada, you need to be a Canadian citizen in order to participate.[2]

  2. 2

    You must be vaccinated against COVID-19. As of 2022, Ink Master is requiring all of its participants to be fully vaccinated. On the application, it will ask you if you’re vaccinated; and if you aren’t, it will ask you if you’re willing to be vaccinated if asked to participate.[3]

    • If you are not vaccinated and not willing to get vaccinated before filming, you will not be selected as a canvas.
