'Ink Master' judge Oliver Peck says he will no longer be a judge on the show after photos emerged of him in blackface.
Another picture shows him wearing brown face paint, an Afro wig and a superhero costume with the letter"N" on it. In a third image, Peck is dressed as a basketball player with his entire body covered in paint.In a statement on Instagram Friday, Peck apologized and called his behavior"inappropriate, insensitive and immature."
"I look at those photos and it's hard for me to believe that I could have been so clueless, insensitive and dumb. I hope that I've matured a great deal since then and I'm deeply sorry for everyone I've offended," he wrote."I was 100% wrong to depict myself this way and I take full responsibility for my immature, misguided perspective, total lapse of judgment and insensitivity.
Paramount Network, the channel that airs"Ink Master," told NBC News in a statement Wednesday that it was appalled by the photos, but praised Peck for apologizing and"taking full responsibility for the damaging impact of his actions." "Ink Master" is a reality show that follows tattoo artists competing in various challenges to ultimately win the season and the Ink Master title. The show is currently in its 13th season. Peck joined the show as a judge in 2012 when it premiered.
