Tattoo Artist from Plainfield Competes on 'Ink Master'

A Plainfield resident is one of 17 tattoo artists competing for the title of "Ink Master" — and a $100,000 grand prize — on season four of the Spike TV reality show.

Scott Marshall, an independent artist affiliated with Roselle Tattoo Company, will vie for the top prize as the show premieres at 9 p.m. Central on Tuesday.

Each week on the show, hosted by rocker Dave Navarro, contestants must test their skills and creativity by tattooing "human canvases," with a panel of fellow tattoo artists judging their work.

Marshall is a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and has 15 years' experience as a tattoo artist.

You can check Marshall out on Facebook or follow him on Twitter.

The 12-week season of "Ink Master" airs Tuesdays on Spike at 9 p.m.
