‘Ink Master’ Crowns First Woman, Dubbed A ‘Wild Card’ By Dave Navarro
After eight seasons, Spike TV’s Ink Master has named its first female winner and everyone seems to agree that Ryan Ashley Malarkey’s win was well deserved with host and Jane’s Addiction’s Dave Navarro singing her praises on last night’s Ink Master season finale. For the last competition, Ms. Malarkey competed against fellow Ink Master finalists Gian Karle Cruz and Kelly Doty, before taking wowing judges and impressing Navarro with her artistic and tattooing skills. In a social climate screaming for change in the ways in which women are treated in their professional aspirations, Ryan Ashley’s win has been seen as a positive step forward for the Spike TV network and for Ink Master.
