Ryan Ashley

Known for her appearances on the television shows Ink Master and its spin-offs, Ryan made history by becoming the first female tattoo artist to win Season 8 of “Ink Master.” She was such a fan favorite that she became part of two InkMaster spin off shows: ‘InkMaster: Angels’ and a judge on ‘Ink Master: Grudge Match’. In 2022, she returned to InkMaster as a Judge for several seasons.

Ryan is known for her intricate Black and Grey tattoos, her Jewelry, and Lace-Like Skin Art. She comes from a background in the fashion industry, having graduated from FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and worked in the fashion industry where she designed beadwork, lace details, embroidery, and appliqués for garments. She uses the artistic skills she learned from working with beading and lace and translates those inspiring and ornamental designs into the medium of tattooing.

We’ve got some special expansion packages that include Exclusive Meet & Greets, Limited Edition Merch, and even a chance to win a free tattoo by Ryan Ashley!
