Chris Blinston was arrested on charges of felony domestic battery by strangulation.
A former contestant on ‘Ink Master’ was arrested this week for allegedly strangling his daughter.
According to TMZ, Chris Blinston’s 13-year-old daughter told a therapist that Blinston strangled her during a custody visit, which prompted a police investigation.
The police report, obtained by the site, says the tattoo artist grabbed the teen girl’s neck twice, cutting off her air supply for up to 10 seconds and also called her a “mental skank.”
Blinston, who appeared on the show’s sixth season, was arrested on charges of felony domestic battery by strangulation and was released from jail Friday after posting $6,000 bond.
He owns a tattoo shop in Coral Springs, Fla., and also does appearances around the country.
Request for comment from Spike, the network that airs “Ink Master, ” was not immediately returned.
