Ceaser of Black Ink isn’t finished making his mark on tattoo culture.
The tattoo artist, entrepreneur and television personality is stepping into another chapter with INK WARS, a new entertainment project currently searching for talent ready to bring artistry, personality and creativity to the screen.
And this casting call reaches well beyond the tattoo chair.
INK WARS is currently seeking tattoo artists, models, music artists across all genres, producers and cameramen, opening the door for creatives from several corners of the entertainment industry to get involved.
The deadline to apply is September 1, 2026.
From Black Ink to INK WARS
For audiences who have followed Ceaser through the years, tattooing has always been at the foundation of his brand.
Ceaser became widely known through VH1’s Black Ink Crew, which followed the personalities and business surrounding the Black Ink tattoo shop in New York. The franchise helped introduce a mainstream television audience to a world where tattoo artistry, Black entrepreneurship, personalities and culture collided.
Now, INK WARS puts tattoo artistry back at the center of the conversation.
Crashouts Productions describes the upcoming project as bringing together judges, artists and tattoo battles in a competition-show environment, and its current casting information confirms that professional tattoo artists are being sought for the New York City competition.
For Ceaser, it’s familiar territory with a new opportunity attached.
More Than Tattoo Artists Are Getting the Call
One of the most interesting things about the current casting push is its reach.
While tattoo artists are naturally an important part of a project called INK WARS, Ceaser’s casting announcement is also seeking models, artists from all musical genres, producers and cameramen.
That turns the casting process into an opportunity for creatives both in front of and behind the camera.
For an emerging tattoo artist, it could mean an opportunity to showcase their work to a larger audience.
For a musician or model, it could mean stepping into a new entertainment environment.
And for producers and cameramen, it represents another chance to bring their skills to a developing production.
The message behind the casting call is simple: if you’ve got the talent, now is the time to show it.
Tattoo Culture Is Still the Business
INK WARS also arrives at a time when Ceaser continues emphasizing his connection to tattooing itself.
Despite years of television recognition and business ventures, his current messaging makes one thing clear: Ceaser of Black Ink still tattoos.
His social content continues highlighting custom tattoo work and booking opportunities through Black Ink Brooklyn and Black Ink 973, keeping the artistry that originally built his platform connected to whatever comes next.
INK WARS feels like a natural extension of that foundation—taking tattoo culture, competition and entertainment and putting a new spotlight on the artists behind the work.
The September 1 Deadline Is Approaching
For anyone considering applying, this isn’t an opportunity to bookmark and revisit eventually.
Casting closes September 1, 2026.
Tattoo artists. Models. Musicians. Producers. Cameramen.
If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to put your work, personality or creativity in front of a new audience, INK WARS may be the opening you’ve been waiting for.
