According to contestant Bob Jones’ Instagram, he’s been tattooing in his hometown of Portland, Oregon presumably since August of last year. When the season’s last episode aired, he took to the social media site to share his experience on the show and why despite everything going virtual — it wouldn’t have worked in their case. The final task for the artists was to finish an hours-long design. But with non-essential businesses closed for a significant time, it would’ve been impossible, he said.

“…Because tattooing is currently banned in all states there would have been no legal way to show each artists remaining style in a 6 hr tattoo. Throwing out a style wasn’t an option because artists did different styles on different parts of the body, so it wouldn’t be fair to judge a style put on a back to a style put on a chest to a style they never got to tattoo.”

Angel Rose has made two appearances on Ink Master, and she is currently tattooing in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, according to her website. On her social media she states that she also works at the Olympus Tattoo Gallery in Salt Lake City.

And like his fellow competitors, artist Jimmy Snaz returned to tattooing around last summer. Per his Instagram page, he does some work at the Speakeasy Tattoo and Art Gallery in Massachusetts.
