Oliver Peck, who appeared on Ink Master for 13 seasons, is departing the show amid a blackface scandal.

“After filming 13 great seasons of Ink Master, the producers and I have decided it’s best to part ways,” the tattoo artist, a judge on the Paramount Network show, said in a statement on Tuesday. “The offensive photos of me which recently surfaced from many years ago can only be a distraction to the amazing show I have loved being a part of and its many talented artists. I want to thank the show’s cast, crew, contestants and awesome fans. It’s been a blast and an honor and I wish my friends and colleagues the very best in whatever the future holds.”

I was actually ready this time, if only because of that other blackface thread a few months back that I was not ready for...

Does the N on his chest stand for New York?

Well at least he did not insult our intelligence with an apology.

I like (not like you know what I mean) how it's not just blackface but also the letter "N", he's dressed up as a basketball player, the afro, but to top it all off he even put in buckteeth with a missing tooth

Sometimes, we don't even need to understand why blackface is offensive. We just need to respect other people's desire. It's simple as that.

I actually think this may be the most blatantly hyper-racist one I've seen yet. There's no cosplaying involved where ignorance can be feigned or anything. I mean...it's literally a big fucking "N" with buckteeth and all kinds of shit going full minstrel show.

This reminds me of that Father Ted clip where the old farmer says he doesn’t know if he has the time to be racist.

because this dude obviously put a whole lot of time into racism.

Immediate apologies like this don't mean shit. Man needs a lot of education, perspective, and reflection on his actions. A true apology might mean something some weeks or months from now.

That big N on the costume makes his already offensive act 10000x worse.

You definitely know he meant it. No ambiguity here, friends. Full on SupaNigga.
