Best Ink is an American reality competition series on Oxygen that judges tattoo artists.

The winner of the competition wins a $100,000 cash prize and a cover article in a well-known tattoo-related magazine.

Typically a non-tattooing task that tests the contestants' artistic skills using different media, subjects and "canvases."

Usually the skills tested in the Flash Challenge will be a compulsory judging factor in the Elimination Tattoo.

These perks can be first/only choice of which "skin" (client) they would like to tattoo or extra time, but is predetermined by the show's production team.
