The announcement comes ahead of the tattoo-competition series’ Season 9 summer premiere.

Ink Master has received a 16-episode order and will go into production later this year for premiere on the rebranded Paramount Network in 2018.

Each week, Ink Master puts artists through a series of tattoo challenges that not only test the artists’ technical skills but also their on-the-spot creativity, as they must create and execute an original tattoo on a “human canvas.” After every challenge, the contestants face a panel made up of Navarro, a founding member of Jane’s Addiction, and tattoo artists Chris Nunez (Miami Ink) and Oliver Peck (Elm Street Tattoo).

“I’m so pleased to see Ink Master reach a milestone 10th season as it continues to be a great ratings driver for the network,” said Chachi Senior, SVP Original Programming, Spike. “The franchise has shown such amazing growth with our female audience that it is a natural progression to launch a female-fronted stand-alone competition, as well.”

Season 9 of Ink Master debuts this June.

Kat Von D later tweeted a thank you to her fans for their support, writing, “Mi corazon!!! Thank you all for the lovely congratulations! Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiancé!”

The couple isn’t a stranger to public declarations of their love… or their relationship drama. In November, The former L.A. Ink star and Deadmau5 — who began dating in September — took to Twitter to announce their short-lived separation.

This would be Kat Von D’s second marriage; she was previously wed to Oliver Peck. And she was engaged to Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband, Jesse James twice at different times in 2011.

This would be Deadmau5’s first.
