Career

Cleen was cast in the 11th season of “Ink Master” entitled, “Ink Master: Grudge Match” in which he coached and mentored a team against another that was led by his career rival, the tattoo artist Christian Buckingham. His team was represented by Tony Medellin, who ended up winning the season, making the Illinois native the winning mentor.

Cleen made an appearance in the first season of “Ink Master: Angels,” which premiered on the Paramount Network on 3 October 2017. The show follows “Ink Master” season eight’s top three female contenders, Nikki Simpson, Kelly Doty, and the season’s winner, Ryan Ashley as they tour across the U.S. looking for talented artists.
