>> Cease said Ted [bleep] India.
>> SKY: I [bleep] you while you
[bleep] home girl.
He doesn't give two [bleep]
about a woman.
[bleep] outta here, dumbass
[bleep].
>> Yo, anybody that got a job
raise your hand 'cause this
dumbass [bleep] don't--ha!
>> Getting fired from Black Ink
was a setback, but I'm not gonna
give up on my dreams.
>> Quani's standin' there
kickin' me.
Now Sassy and Didi, they swear
they break [bleep] up, but not
one of y'all mother [bleep]
pulled them bitches off of me.
>> Sassy and Puma are friends.
But Sassy is her own person.
What Puma eat don't make
Sassy [bleep].
>> After the fashion show fight,
Ink 124 is in a downward spiral.
>> You are out 'cause of what
happened.
But, if you have your checks
ready to go, we can sit down
at the table and you can have
the business.
>> That's cool, bro.
>> Okay.
>> I wanna do a tattoo shop
in North Carolina.
>> Listen, I'm gonna say
it again.
North Carolina got too many
trees for me.
I'm not movin' down to
North Carolina.
Not debatable.
>> *

>> DUTCHESS: Hey, Pastor Mike.
How're you doin'?
I usually don't do house calls,
but Pastor Mike is a special
case.
He has one of the largest
congregations in the city
and I don't want him to have to
deal with the chaotic
environment of the shop.
Are you excited about your
tattoo?
>> I am. Yeah.
I think last year is the last
summer I got one.
My daughter got her first
tattoo and I got a tattoo with
her, so...
>> My dad did the same with me.
>> Yeah.
[laughing]
>> Yeah, I got my first
with him.
>> Really? Yeah.
>> That's a beautiful bond.
Like where I come from, you
really get to understand family
'cause that's really all you
have.
>> Mm-hm.
>> Here, you don't really have
time to even focus on family.
That's like a major disconnect
for me that I need your
help with.
So, me and Ceaser are goin' to
North Carolina for a few
reasons--I wanna see my family,
of course, but I also wanna
explore my...my business
opportunities, you know,
open up a shop.
The problem is Ceaser's like,
"I'll never leave New York."
As the woman that's gonna spend
the rest of my life with him,
now we're engaged, I just feel
like he needs to compromise
a little.
It's just hard to inspire
and push.
>> It takes a lot of courage to
be able to relocate.
Most people don't do that.
The fear stops them.
But you've gotta be true to
yourself because the key to
growth is being able to be
honest and real about who
you are 'cause you've got one
life to really live which you
don't want to get to the end
of this journey, look back over
life, and have a ton of regrets
that will cause you to be
miserable in your spirit.
>> I can't even really worry
about the struggle that someone
else is gonna put themselves
through.
I have to worry about what I'm
gonna put myself through.
>> There you go.
>> I understand that the move
will be scary for Cease,
but the move was scary for me
in New York.
Get over it.
I'm sorry, it's life.
So, Pastor Mike, what you
gettin' today?
>> Well, I wanted to get...
"I'm the embodiment of
infinite possibilities."
There is nothing that ought to
make one feel that they have to
live life within limitations.
>> Very true.
To achieve my dreams in moving
down south, I'm prepared to do
whatever I need to do.
>> * Do you feel
* The beat of my heart
* And still resist the sound
>> Right now, I'm concerned
about what Dutchess do for
Dutchess.
I don't give a [bleep] about
everything else.
>> * Yeah I'm in so deep
* Why is it so hard to leave
>> DUTCHESS: Nothing's holding
me back from moving and if I'm
doin' it, he's doin' it.
We are one.
>> * I wanna start over
* Take things back to
* How they used to be
>> PASTOR MIKE: Wow.
>> DUTCHESS: I want to have
a business in the south and I'm
not going to allow it to be
ignored in my life.
>> * Back to how
* Things used to be
*
>> QUANI: [laughing]
Okay, come on.
Do you remember playing on
a slide in the rain back in
the day?
>> Yeah, but just be careful
with her 'cause it's really
wet.
Ready? Go!
>> Come on! Come on! Come on!
[laughing]
>> PUMA: Ahhh!
>> QUANI: Your butt is so wet.
So, probably, like...
what happened with Ink 124 like
'cause it was going so well
just a few weeks ago and then
all of a sudden--
>> PUMA: It's like the shop
is being closed down.
That's it.
I don't know, man, like Med
is offering Ink 124 to me
for $50,000.
>> Yeah.
But it's not even worth $50,000.
>> Exactly.
I can't do that, you know what
I mean?
That's impossible.
After the fashion show fight,
Med told me we're closing
Ink 124, but then he asked
to get bought out for $50,000.
It's just I put too much trust
into people I shouldn't have.
It's life lessons, man.
What happened at that fashion
show was definitely not the
reason Ink 124 came crumbling
down.
I feel like he really is trying
to extort me right now.
The business was built off
my name, you know what I mean?
But that's the bad part
about it.
That's why I've...
Like I don't wanna just give up
on something I've put so much
work into.
>> QUANI: It's [bleep] to once
again see Puma put so much love
into something and for someone
to snatch it away from him
once again.
He was once the face of [bleep]
Black Ink before Ceaser got
his bitch-ass hands on it.
Owner of Ink 124, taken away
by this bitch.
I have no respect for any of
these so-called men.
If you were men, you'd stop
letting your emotions get
involved in [bleep].
>> The bad part about it is
I've gotta reinvent everything
again.
I just have to make sure I do
what I have to do to make sure
we have money.
>> QUANI: Puma was putting all
that time and energy into
Ink 124 so that eventually
we can have a good income
coming in.
I'm worried that Puma is going
to break down eventually
and I need for my husband to
stay strong.
I'm just ready to start over.
Like I...everybody out here
is just out for themselves.
It's time for us to just think
about ourselves and what
are we gonna do?
How are we gonna flourish
as this family?
The thing that was holding us
back, 'cause I've been saying
it once more for years, was you
wanting to do the tattoo shop.
You did the tattoo shop, but it
didn't work out in your favor.
What's really holding us
here now?
>> It's 'cause I've lived in
New York City all my damn life
and like I said, I have a lot
of stuff I invested in out here
still.
That's what makes it hard to
just up and leave.
My family's safety is my main
priority.
It always has been,
always will be.
But I just don't want nobody to
feel that they're chasin' me
out of New York.
This ain't no [bleep]
[unintelligible] situation.
>> The lease is over in like
a little bit over a month.
So it's time for us to go
like now.
I'm not staying, regardless.
>> *
>> CEASER: Right now, I'm about
to meet up with Med.
Med is the silent owner of
Ink 124.
Med's reputation in New York is
like break my [bleep] face
tough.
He came from that era.
>> So, I think I really wanted
to just kind of come to some
kind of conclusion with this
whole situation with Puma
because obviously the name
124 got involved in this whole
altercation and 'cause it had
immaturity like my store is
closed right now, you know?
124 is not open because we don't
know what's gonna happen and
I can't have my staff in there
and then something happens and
it takes place and then I'm
responsible.
>> I'll never do anything to
your business, you know what
I mean?
I'll never bring drama to
your business.
Well, he made it some
Ink 124/Black Ink thing when
it ain't nothin' to do with
you and me.
>> Right, man, you're right.
It's two men that have a
personal issue that could handle
it themselves.
But you know what?
Every time I ever spoke to him
about [bleep] like that,
he turns around, he's like,
"Nah [bleep] that, [bleep] that.
Me and him will never be cool"
and instead of listening with
an open ear, he turns around
and immediately throws a wall up
and gets aggressive.
>> So I'm takin' that [bleep]
personal.
He took everything personal.
I'm like, "Puma, I did nothing
to you."
"No, you did this."
"No, Puma, I didn't."
>> You know what?
I can't understand how Puma
could act like this with you
after everything you've done for
him and the way that you've
looked out for him and me,
you know, I mean, we took him
in at 15 years old and it
affects me.
It makes me feel disrespected
and I just wanna be out because
if he's not gonna listen to
what I've got to say and take
any advice from me as...
as being in business with him,
then that's not somebody that
I can be in business with.
So, the question is now is that
we've got a business on
124th Street that I need to
figure out what I'm gonna do
with it.
You being a better man is why
I would rather work with you
and if you want to take that
shop and you wanna buy that shop
and you wanna own it, then I'm
open to that suggestion.
>> I just won my first war.
Oooh, victory is sweet!
To take over somebody's business
who tried to [bleep] on you
and buy that [bleep] out,
that's better than takin' over
the mother [bleep] block.
For my street mother [bleep]
know what I'm talkin' about.
You hear what I mean?
Is sounds like a good
opportunity and I've gotta
really think about that [bleep].
>> I'm cool with any way
it works out.
I...I mean if I...if I could
[bleep] foot you, [bleep] I'd
foot you a hundred percent.
>> Thanks, man.
>> All right. No doubt.
Be safe and let's keep
the beef down.
>> All the way.
>> * In my heart
* I just know I'm gonna leave
* Hey I'm just
* Gonna make it happen
>> CEASER: Since I first picked
up a tattoo machine, I wanted
to monopolize Harlem.
If you want a tattoo anywhere
uptown, you have to come see
Ceaser and the Black Ink Crew.
That's how I always wanted it.
And now that I have this
opportunity to completely seal
the deal, I feel that I should
take it.
>> * I said I made a deal with
* There's no way
* They will leave here
* I am past repair
* With a past they carry
* Yeah 'cause it all comes
* Back around, back around
* We will make it happen
>> She coulda done something.
>> Sassy did not hurt you.
>> But she didn't help either.
Sky can defend Sassy as much
as she wants to, but this is
where you work at.
You're Black Ink, remember?
>> Med offered me to buy
Ink 124.
[bleep] Puma.
Ahhhh!
I already named it--
Black Ink East.
You see how it flows off?
Black Ink East.
>> Why you two was talkin',
[bleep] bitch?
I hear Dutchess talkin' wild
[bleep].
Well, come to me and fight me,
bitch.
I said now! Do it now!
>> *
>> Yeah, I'm just gonna put down
on my Instagram, "if you had sex
with me..."
[laughing]
>> Did you see the [bleep]
I put up the other day?
>> Yeah, yo, that [bleep] had
me weak.
[laughing]
>> [bleep] I put up, um,
everybody always sayin'
I got hoes.
I'm a poor guy if you gonna
be one of my hoes and like
this pic [bleep] like 800 likes.
>> SKY: [bleep] Teddy.
Teddy and I, we tried something
new with doin' our
"situationship" and that
[bleep] didn't work out.
He's a piece of [bleep].
But we work together, so I'll
be cordial.
I just thank God I don't have
chlamydia, the [bleep].
>> [door alarm buzzes]
>> Hey, my friends.
How are you guys doing?
>> Hi.
>> Guess what?
I got great news.
>> Yeah?
>> CEASER: Regularly, I mean,
I'm not one to like glorify
somebody's downfall or anything,
but...
You know Ink 124's closed now,
right?
>> Not like wait, wait, not like
shut down for a little while or
like--
>> CEASER: No, no, hold it,
hold it, hold it.
You have to understand.
It is shut down.
[bleep] that.
>> ALL: [laughing]
>> You not makin' too much sound
over there.
>> Yeah!
>> Hey!
>> DUTCHESS: [laughing]
You thought you were a boss.
You thought you were a [bleep]
But you don't exist in the
tattoo industry, you don't do
tattoos, and the tattoos you
got, on your black ass,
you can't even see the [bleep].
>> So, Med...
Med told you like he closed it
down 'cause he heard what
happened?
>> He called me.
I was...I was wonderin'.
I went totally like...
if me and him are gonna have a
problem, let's just get it on.
But he's basically telling me
that your man Puma [bleep] all
the way up.
>> He just don't want no
problems.
>> Med's smart.
He's not an idiot.
I'm not shocked.
I'm really not.
It was bound to happen.
Med had to fire him.
All the [bleep] that he was
doin', Puma was gettin' outta
control.
Like the boy was actin' up.
>> No, this is the best part.
That...that...that's not
the best part.
>> What the [bleep]?
>> CEASER: See? See?
You dropped it.
[bleep] but how you drop it--
>> Ceaser, okay.
>> CEASER: This is...this is
gettin' exciting.
This is getting exciting.
Oh, ho-ho-ho.
This is getting exciting.
>> Go.
>> CEASER: Listen, listen,
listen.
Med offered me to buy Ink 124.
>> Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
>> OTHERS: [laughing]
>> Checkmate, bitch.
>> So what you gon' do?
You gon' buy it or what?
>> I don't know.
>> Like that [bleep] is
a no-brainer right now.
You could put a [bleep].
>> You got a back up plan?
>> Oh, with hookahs
and everything.
>> Oh, my God, you gotta have
hookahs and calamari
on the menu.
>> Yes.
>> CEASER: When I take over
Ink 124, it'll be like a luxury
[bleep] shop.
I'll have a Jacuzzi in
the [bleep] back.
I might even put a koi pond
as soon as you enter that bitch
of Black Ink East.
See? I already named it.
Black Ink East.
You see how it flows off?
Black Ink East.
>> Now them crackheads be tryin'
to put crack in them hookahs.
You never know.
>> You wouldn't allow crackheads
in there.
You gotta [bleep] them--
>> Over there, they camouflage
my [bleep].
Some of them don't look so bad.
Ceaser buyin' Ink 124, that's
what's not gonna happen.
Nothing's holding me back from
movin' to North Carolina so, no,
not gonna happen.
I just don't think...
* Puma's gonna like that
* Puma's gonna bomb your spot
>> CEASER: I'm surprised that
me and Dutchess ain't on
the same page.
But I'm not gonna turn up this
opportunity for Ink 124.
At least consider it.
I don't want to compromise
[bleep].
>> Where the [bleep] does this
leave Sassy, though?
>> Sassy hangin' by the balance
'cause I'm sorry.
You can't keep ridin' with her.
>> She don't [bleep] with him
like that no more.
>> DUTCHESS: Sassy's leaving
Puma makes me question her
loyalty even greater.
That was supposedly her best
friend.
What does that mean to us?
She'll betray the [bleep] out of
all of us 'cause she's already
done that.
>> I wanted to know how she felt
just bein' back around lately
and just bein' in the middle
of all that.
She says she does not condone
Puma's actions.
She said Puma cursed her out
at the end of that night.
Like just the point that she's
tryin' to make is--
>> It don't sound like you're
my friend now, now that this is
over.
>> Sassy did not hurt you.
>> No, but she didn't help
either.
At the Sabit fashion show,
you and your girlfriend just sat
there and watched me get jumped
and not do [bleep].
That bitch Sassy ain't no friend
of mine.
And for that reason, Sky, she
can't expect us to feel no type
of way but the way we're
feelin'.
>> That's what I'm saying.
Don't [bleep] with her.
>> She should ostracize herself.
So whatever she tell you, that's
how she feels.
She ain't tell us none of that
[bleep].
Sky can defend Sassy as much as
she want to, but Sky was not
there, so why are you listenin'
to some other bitch?
This is where you work at.
You Black Ink, remember?
Y'all don't care how I felt.
>> It's not right everything
she do isn't right, like...
You know, everybody's not
perfect.
Dutchess--she's a mean bitch.
Sassy deserves to be forgiven
a hundred percent.
You don't wanna [bleep] with
her, that's your choice.
But, bitch, I'ma be friends with
Sassy and nobody can tell Sky
who the [bleep] she can be
friends with.
I work at Black Ink.
They don't [bleep] work this
[bleep] and they don't [bleep]
work my friendships
and relationships out.
Nah, I get a check then.
>> She coulda done anything
that she...that...
she coulda done something
instead of doin' all of this
other [bleep].
>> She'll be all right.
She'll come around if she want
to or not, whatever.
>> Takin' that [bleep] out
your ass?
>> Shut up.
>> Yeah, Sky, stay outta your
butt.
>> [bleep] that's disgusting,
man.
>> *
>> [meat sizzling]
>> You really know what
the [bleep] you're doin'
over here.
>> I'm nice with the [bleep].
>> I see.
It's New York tradition in
the summertime to have
barbecues.
We have a backyard, so whoever
invites whoever wants to
come, as long as you don't come
with no bull [bleep].
The burgers are kinda good,
yeah?
Why you not cook?
>> If you woulda stopped acting
like a hoe and let me love you,
you would have figured that out.
Teddy and I have unfinished
business to discuss.
He did what dumbass [bleep] do.
He put his [bleep] in India
and the last time like we really
had a conversation was when
I had to mush his ass in
the [bleep] waterpark.
Like you wanna hurt
a bitch heart?
It's an icebox where my heart
used to be now.
[bleep] that hoe.
And I'm talkin' about Teddy.
Your ass [bleep].
>> Do me a favor.
>> What?
>> Can you just keep your hands
down?
>> What?
>> The last time we was this
close, and you had your hands
up, I didn't move fast enough.
>> And that was because of what?
Because of the India bitch.
It's just like I wanted to bust
your ass with that India
[bleep].
I'm telling you, I just felt
like this [bleep] shoulda had
a little more [bleep] respect
for me.
I already know what I was
getting myself into.
I just felt like [bleep]
was different.
Like we doin' date [bleep]
like...
>> We're like in two different
spaces.
You was lookin' for love.
That's what you want and I'm not
there.
>> SKY: I've been through a lot
in different relationships and
Teddy hasn't had an example
in front of him of what a true
relationship and what love
really, really is and he's
scared of it and he doesn't want
to because he's afraid
to get hurt.
>> What I don't want to happen
between us is us to become
enemies.
>> Um, you being around when
I came home from jail, like...
>> Mm-hm.
>> You already know I got
wild love for you.
>> All right.
>> You know.
Teddy is part of a long list of
[bleep] that have disappointed
me already.
I don't know what I expected
from Teddy and I'm more
disappointed in myself for
thinking that I could expect
anything further than Teddy
just being himself.
We tried.
It didn't work out.
At least we still are able to
end as friends.
>> I just, you know, wanna come
to some type of closure with
this [bleep] before it gets
outta hand.
>> Why it sound like you
breakin' up with me
or something?
You're wildin'.
It sound like you breakin' up.
>> [mixed conversations]
>> She's gone.
>> How are you ladies doing?
You all okay?
>> Yeah, I'm fine.
>> There's food over there.
We're havin' this barbecue
here at Black Ink.
You know how it goes.
It's summertime.
We like to get our friends
together, you know, and get some
good food, some good drinks,
good vibes.
It's like this is a family.
This is what it is.
We've been through a lot.
It wasn't always pretty,
but we're still here.
>> [mixed conversations]
>> SKY: Look, I don't know.
Have...have...have you guys
seen this?
Puma put this post up.
He's lonely.
This might be a call for help
and he might want one of you
guys to reach out.
Puma post on Instagram a lonely
child in the corner.
With everything that Puma's
going through right now, from
the fight with Cease and he's
losing his shop, I just feel
as though Puma is at his lowest
of his low.
This is a call for help,
you guys.
>> Sky, it's nothing to talk
about.
>> Where the [bleep] have you--
>> Whose talk is that?
>> [bleep].
>> I already said that.
>> Did you see this?
>> Yeah, he reposted that.
>> He already posted that.
>> He want that attention.
That's why he wants you to be
like, "Oh, my God, no,
Puma, no, no."
He [bleep] be all right.
>> SKY: A picture speaks
a thousand words.
And he has no friends right now
like genuine people in his
corner and you gotta remember
we all were friends.
One of us needs to reach out.
>> Let's just go for a mad kid
who's in front of Ink 124
and take a picture of it.
>> [laughing]
>> *
>> Is that tomato?
>> I don't know what it is.
And that [bleep] tastes like
[bleep] Thanksgiving gravy.
>> [food crunching]
I ain't eat it, y'all.
>> [bleep].
Then more for me.
>> DUTCHESS: I've always
supported Ceaser in everything
that he does.
Why would you buy Ink 124?
Buying Ink 124 is the worst
investment that any man in this
entire world could make.
What the hell is he thinking?
If we're gonna start our life
together, it's better if we are
on the same page.
Getting Ink 124, that's gonna
take up a lot of time and
energy.
How is that gonna affect all of
these decisions that we've
already got in place?
If Ceaser decides to buy
Ink 124, I can't stay here and
be like, oh, [bleep] my goals.
Uh, no.
You're gonna just make me have
to move down south either on my
own or I'm gonna have to wait
forever.
>> I am getting a Brazilian
butt lift.
You gain as much fat as possible
for them to put it in your ass.
>> OTHERS: [laughing]
>> How are you doing?
>> I'm good.
It's important for me to try to,
you know, make peace with
Dutchess and see how she feels
about me coming back to
the shop.
>> Let me tell you something,
Donna, you're the stupidest
[bleep].
>> *
>> If you get Ink 124, that's
gonna take up a lot of time
and energy.
You're gonna just make me have
to move down south either on
my own or I'm gonna have
to wait forever.
>> I would never do that
to you.
Baby, if I buy Ink 124,
that would give me a foothold in
the East Side.
>> Do you remember when you took
me over there and you told me
to lock the doors.
>> The neighborhood could
turn around and I know it's
gonna be at a dirt cheap price
especially how it's goin' now.
It's a goin' out of business
sale.
>> I just feel like the
headaches that you're gonna have
to deal with is gonna be hell.
I don't know if it's a good
idea, baby.
>> CEASER: Dutchess' dream was
always to open up a big shop in
North Carolina and move down
there and have a big-ass house.
But I always dreamed of
making an empire.
I don't know if it's possible
for me and her to have our
dreams simultaneously.
So, what the [bleep] do I do?
>> If you buy it, you're gonna
cause a whole nother set
of problems.
>> *
>> [door alarm buzzing]
>> Oh, what's up, you guys?
>> Uh-oh. [bleep].
>> Special delivery.
I have Black Ink tank tops.
"I love Black Ink."
>> Yeah she has.
[laughing]
>> It don't fit me.
>> Yeah, Sky.
>> That's not Sky's fault.
>> She gained like three pounds.
>> SKY: First of all, I'm
gaining weight for the procedure
for them to put it in your
hips and your ass.
I am getting a Brazilian
butt lift.
A Brazilian butt lift is when
they suction fat from problem
areas of your body and they put
it in your ass and your hips,
baby.
>> When are you tryin' to do
it, though?
>> It would be within the month.
Like a month.
>> That's soon.
>> Sky, I don't think you should
do it right now.
>> How long is the healing
process?
>> The healing process?
Like I'm gonna be in pain for
three [bleep] months.
That's why I have to make sure
I do it when I'm doing it.
>> DUTCHESS: You gonna do it
before the wedding?
That's like soon.
Me and Cease will be getting
married and Sky's ass surgery's
gonna happen at the same time.
I don't know nothin' about
the dress, I don't know who
the wedding planner is,
I don't know the venue,
I don't know the location.
I want friends that care about
me enough to help me figure
this out.
>> You're gonna see how I work
this out.
I will be right here.
>> DUTCHESS: If you can't be
the type of friend that I need,
I really don't need a friend.
>> Oh, we're not waiting three
months for you to go on
vacation--sorry.
>> OTHERS: [laughing]
>> SKY: Bitch, you better not
laugh.
You're still with the
sisterhood, all right?
Don't laugh with these [bleep].
I'm seein' the type of friend
that she is.
It's a learnin' process and I'm
learnin' how I need to deal with
this bitch day-by-day.
So, what do you have to say?
>> I'm doin' my letters.
I'm workin' on my letters.
>> Oh, y'all was talkin' [bleep]
under y'all breath.
Like I don't need that type of
negative energy in my life
'cause that's...
all that is phony energy and I'd
rather have a full-fledged enemy
than a fake friend.
>> [door alarm buzzes]
>> Hey, how're you doin'?
>> What's up?
>> My name's Ross.
>> Whaddup?
>> [bleep].
>> Whaddup, man?
>> So, today my client's gonna
be this dude Ross who wants to
get the four horsemen of the
Apocalypse tattooed on his
back.
He doesn't want it tiny.
He wants this thing monstrous
like from shoulder to shoulder.
I live for tattoos like this.
>> What's this all about?
Like what made you wanna get
this tattoo?
>> You know, growin' up I had
to watch my mom, you know,
like get into some really heavy
stuff.
She was, uh, addicted to cocaine
and I just saw my life going
down like this really empty,
dead path.
I just, you know, was like,
you know what?
I'm gonna follow Jesus and I'm
gonna use my tattoos as a tool
to, you know, glorify His name.
>> I can definitely relate to
this tattoo, as an artist
and as an individual.
Artistically, it's gonna
challenge my skills, and as
an individual, I can really
appreciate what this tattoo
means.
So, do you have any children
or anything?
>> Yeah, man, I have, uh,
I have a son.
He's four years old.
>> Yeah?
>> And, uh, my wife is actually
pregnant right now with our
second child.
>> Well, congratulations.
I just had a baby, too.
>> How do you like being
a father?
>> Oh, I love being a father.
Kids are amazing.
They really are a blessing.
>> Life takes a toll on you and
you look at your kids and it's
like this is why I'm doing it.
>> That couldn't be put any
better.
I respect Ross for everything
that he's doing.
I mean, like he lives his life
for his wife and his children.
Everything is all up and up with
him now.
I mean, I'm trying to be that
person.
Are you ready?
>> Yeah, I'm ready.
>> [needle buzzing]
>> * In this crazy life
>> O'SH T: I'm finally clean
and sober.
I'm done with all the stress
with Anya.
I'm a single man now.
I mean like I've been in
relationships since I was
like 18.
I didn't really have any time
to focus on myself.
Now I can take all that effort
I was putting in my relationship
and put that towards doing
good tattoos.
>> * In this crazy life
>> All right.
Go ahead and take a look at
it, man.
>> ROSS: That is sick!
>> O'SH T: Dope.
Yo, I'm glad you love it, bro.
>> ROSS: So sick.
>> O'SH T: Yeah.
>> *
>> [siren wailing]
>> *
>> Hello.
>> Hey, Dutchess.
How're you doing?
>> How're you doing?
>> I'm good.
The day I got fired from
Black Ink, Dutchess took it upon
herself to call Max and told Max
[bleep] about me, lies about sex
with people in the shop, crazy
things.
And it kinda sent
my relationship into a very
rocky path.
But it's important for me to
make an effort to try to,
you know, make peace with
Dutchess and see how she feels
about me potentially coming
back to the shop.
There's so much for me to say,
I don't even know what to say.
>> Say what you want.
>> DONNA: Ceaser's definitely
[bleep] and I know if Dutchess
wanted me to be in the shop,
I would be in the shop.
So that's how we seen each
other.
[bleep] was crazy.
It got crazy because everything
that was being held in and
everything that everybody
wanted to say finally got said.
>> Who gives a [bleep] how
anyone feel about your
relationship with [bleep].
>> Yeah, but it does matter.
Your boss shouldn't be calling
you a bitch.
>> Listen, listen, listen--
>> And then turn around
and bitch, bitch, bitch like--
>> Just listen, though.
Do you know how many [bleep]
gonna call me a bitch?
I'm pretty [bleep] sure several
[bleep] have called you a bitch,
too.
>> Not really.
>> Yeah, they have.
>> No.
>> Yes, they did call her
a bitch because she was actin'
like a bitch.
That girl know [bleep] all
the [bleep] in the shop and
think that she can get away
with being disrespectful.
That's not how this [bleep]
happens.
Your mama might call you
a bitch after knowin'
that [bleep].
That was a situation that's at
your job my [bleep], at your
job.
That's a situation that,
as a woman, you gotta deal with
at your job.
So go call your [bleep]
ain't gonna help it.
What if Max and his little
goonies woulda came to the shop
while I'm trying to do some
front work.
>> And you were standing--
>> And guess what?
It woulda got really ugly
and people woulda got hurt,
Donna, all because of a female--
>> No, nobody was gonna
get hurt because--
>> DUTCHESS: Donna needs to shut
the [bleep] up and listen.
Don't come over here with that
bull [bleep] 'cause you will get
put in your place.
>> I told him not to come
up there.
He was not--
>> He said he was on the phone
talking to Ceaser.
I mean, an assault charge is
gonna cost me what?
A couple of...a couple of
hundred dollars, you know?
Let me tell you something.
>> He was not on the--
>> Let me tell you something
about you.
You're the stupidest [bleep].
What was the purpose of even
wanting to meet up with me?
>> DONNA: How do you feel about
me comin' back to the shop?
I don't give a [bleep] about
Dutchess.
I will take all of her clients.
>> *
>> Let me tell you something,
Donna.
Let me tell you something
about you.
You're the stupidest [bleep].
>> That's some disrespect
right there.
>> It was mad disrespectful
for you to carry yourself
the way you did and I could
care less.
>> DONNA: That right there--
that makes me feel bad.
Like I value her opinion
and I look up to her,
but sometimes she overdoes it
for me.
>> What was the purpose to even
want to meet up with me?
>> Um, I'll let you know
the purpose.
Regardless of what the situation
is, between me and you and me
and Ceaser, I moved to New York
to work at Black Ink, so at the
end of the day, my loyalty lies
with Black Ink.
I came to make my peace,
you know what I'm saying.
You know it's gonna be [bleep].
I'm not gonna junk you.
It's all for me.
I'm there.
But how do you feel about me
comin' back to the shop?
>> No.
Lose your loyalty to Black Ink
because you're never welcome to
even come in there anymore.
Donna was attempting to make
herself a part of the family
until she [bleep] the whole
family.
That's not the qualities of
a tattoo artist.
That's the qualities of
an escort.
Y'all drawers--[bleep] start
sittin' on them.
>> Well, Dutchess, you already
know.
If you want me to be back in
the shop, that's what's gonna
happen, so you make that--
>> That's not--
>> If you want me to be back
in the shop, that's what's
gonna happen.
>> Unh-unh.
>> Y'all are sayin' what?
That I [bleep] some [bleep]
that I never [bleep].
She's only sayin' that 'cause
Dutchess is threatened by me
as a woman.
She wants to be the only female
tattoo artist in the shop and
she's dead set on keepin' it
like that.
>> Well, do what you gotta do
my [bleep].
>> See you.
My mission is not gonna stop.
I will be back at Black Ink.
I don't give a [bleep] about
Dutchess.
I will take all of her clients,
all of them.
[sighing]
>> *
>> SKY: This is nice.
Today's the day of the butt lift
consultation.
The reason I brought Sassy
and not Dutchess, because
Dutchess and I are not on
the best of terms.
She's just been stressed out
in regards to the wedding
and whatnot, so I'm gonna call
somebody who wants to be here.
What I wanna do is the Brazilian
butt lift.
>> So, take off the shit,
the pants, and we'll take
a look.
>> Put this on the floor.
>> WOMAN: During the surgery,
we'd make a couple of small
incisions.
Usually one here, one here,
one inside the belly button.
>> I may not seem like the type
of woman that would go into
cosmetic surgery, but that's
what God put doctors here for--
to help you with the [bleep]
that you're lacking.
>> Have you ever had kids
before?
>> No.
>> No? Okay.
So, you're good.
You don't have any medical
issues.
>> SKY: Yeah, I'm good.
>> Hello.
>> Give me a hug. I'm a hugger.
>> Hey, it's a pleasure to
meet you.
All right, maybe we should have
you step out just for a little
while.
Is that okay?
>> SASSY: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course. Of course.
>> I want you to kind of stand
in front of this mirror.
You have a lot of fat here for
us to harvest.
We wanna add volume to this side
here and it's gonna round out
the booty.
>> SKY: I've really been taking
this journey on changing myself
as a person.
Just trying to be a positive
person and change the way
I'm looked at and perceived.
Um, earlier your assistant,
she asked me a question in
regard to me having children.
And I told her "No."
I've had two children at a very
young age.
I had two children when I was
14 years old.
Um, that's why you see
the stretch marks from and,
you know, people ask you,
"Oh, do you have kids?"
[voice cracking]
And you have to say...
you have to lie about...
[sobbing]
why you have these marks and...
and I just wanted to give my
children a better life, so...
SKY: I had two sons when I was
in my young teens.
I tried to raise them.
I got locked up and it just so
happened that this beautiful
family that wasn't able to have
children on their own, they took
my kids in.
They didn't separate them.
But it's been really hard on me.
SKY: I know everything happens
that's supposed to happen.
[gasping breaths]
[sobbing]
I've been shaped this way since
I was a young girl.
Maybe me having children altered
it so early.
>> We're on your team.
We can work with you and if you
have questions after you leave,
please, just give us a call
any time.
>> Thank you.
SKY: The end result is my kids
is with a beautiful family
and they've been to countries
I can't even pronounce.
Got [bleep] I'd never be able
to give them and I love them
dearly.
[sobbing]
I just couldn't do it and I'm
not gonna be no slouch-ass,
bum-ass parent.
I tried to take care of them
and I couldn't.
[sobbing]
>> *
>> [sobbing]
>> DUTCHESS: The only thing
I did was tell the truth.
>> You're a bum.
>> I'm a bum? I'm a bum?
>> You're a bum-ass bitch.
>> DUTCHESS: I make more money
than you could ever make.
You're not the breadwinner,
baby.
>> So, come to me and fight me.
You gotta now.
>> *
*
>> SKY: So, I'm at the shop.
I'm runnin' to the back to pee,
say my hey to everybody.
I hear this bitch in
the backyard talkin' wild
[bleep] about her wedding
is more important than
my butt lift.
Bitch, what the [bleep] does
my butt lift got anything to do
with your wedding?
Like why the [bleep] are you
even discussing me?
But if you felt some type of
way when I was right in front of
you, why you gotta talk greasy
about me behind my back?
I wanna fight that bitch.
>> What did I say that
was wrong?
>> All you do is talk [bleep].
>> DUTCHESS: The only thing
I did was tell the truth.
>> You're a bum.
>> I'm a bum? I'm a bum?
>> You're a bum-ass bitch
with no [bleep] friends.
>> I'm a bum?
Sky, I'm a tattoo artist that
makes way more money than
you could ever make even in
Black Ink, baby.
Please know that I see how much
money every person makes in
this shop and you're not
the breadwinner, baby.
I [bleep] nobody.
That is why.
>> Come to me and fight me.
>> What am I fighting you for?
>> You are so much [bleep].
>> [arguing over each other]
>> Move! Move!
>> I said now! We do it now!
>> I don't got no problem
with you in a fight [bleep].
>> You bum.
>> CEASER: Stop. Stop.
We'll go outside, D, go outside.
You buggin' right now.
Ain't nobody, especially my
employee, gonna put their hands
on my fiancée.
So, before I react, just because
it's Sky, I'm gonna get down to
the nitty-gritty of this
bull [bleep].
What the [bleep] you goin' off
like that for?
>> I was just by the bathroom,
Ceaser, and I walked--
>> So, what happened?
>> Talkin' mad [bleep] about me.
She's not a genuine bitch.
>> Just breathe.
Do you really think it's that
[bleep] serious?
>> I certainly do.
>> So tell me, what did she
say wrong so I can correct her.
>> She was tearin' me down.
>> Sayin' what?
>> A hundred percent.
>> Sayin' what? Sayin' what?
>> A hundred percent.
I don't have to keep repeatin'.
You ask her.
>> Stop! Stop!
My lady right here or is Sky
right here?
I asked you a question.
>> She's talkin' about sure
she's gonna get her ass done.
Listen, man...
>> You're gonna have to calm
down.
>> Not just someone, Cease.
This ain't got nothin' to do
with you.
This is bitch's.
>> Sky.
>> When she talk that [bleep].
>> Sky.
>> Yes.
>> Calm down.
>> I'm calm.
SKY: It's not about a butt
lift.
It's deeper than that.
I can't get my kids off
my mind.
It just has me in a whirlwind
like I'm just...
My head is goin' crazy about
this.
Get those cameras outta
my mother [bleep] face.
Like this ain't no TV to say
my [bleep] truth on.
What I heard in there, it didn't
come across like a friend.
She's gonna talk about me every
chance she get behind my back.
Just don't make me feel
like I'm inferior.
>> Anything that I have to say
to you, I will say to you.
Why would an ass be more
important than a wedding?
>> *
>> The whole thing with the butt
and the wedding, it's nothing
about you negative.
I would never [bleep] betray
you like that.
I [bleep] with you better than
that [bleep] and anything that
I have to say to you, I will
say to you.
>> What I heard in there,
it didn't come across like
a friend should be speaking
of another friend.
The tone--
>> Not me--
>> Let me say--
>> But, no, the tone--
Okay, so listen--
>> Where you're coming from,
when it comes to your friends,
it don't go like that.
>> Okay, look, the end of
the conversation that you heard
whether it's a butt or
a wedding, the only thing that
I said was why would an ass be
more important than a wedding?
It ain't have nothin' to do
with Sky.
And Sky was only the last second
of the conversation.
Part of the conversation that
you heard, I was very sorry
that you heard the [bleep] up
end of it and it made you feel
like it was something negative
to you because it wasn't and
it'll never be like that for me.
And I deeply apologize for that.
The whole conversation was
really about these
[bleep-bleep].
>> Apology accepted like friends
have arguments.
Just don't make me feel like
I'm inferior.
>> No.
>> Like if I'm talkin' to
the next mother [bleep] who
wanna [bleep] me and be
a [bleep].
>> Sky, the reason I'm right
here because that's how I feel
about you, baby.
>> SKY: I take her apology for
that it's worth.
I gotta work with this bitch.
My biggest thing is loyalty.
This job [bleep] is new to me.
I know street [bleep].
I know loyalty.
I know what works well for me.
Let's go get a drink, huh?
>> You got ID?
I'm riding with no ID.
>> SKY: I still care about the
bitch even though she's gonna
talk about me every chance
she get behind my back.
Like that's how she is.
This situation is over,
but I know what she's
capable of.
That's not over.
>> DUTCHESS: We are back down
south in my hometown and I know
the south is good for me.
I don't know if it's gonna
be good for Ceaser.
>> Do you love it enough to want
to move down here?
>> What the [bleep].
>> She's here because she's got
an appointment today.
She's gonna do a tattoo here.
>> There's not gonna be any
tattooing.
That's not okay.
>> CEASER: Yo, tell her to get
the [bleep] outta my shop.
I will have the whole [bleep]
projects in there.
Get that [bleep] outta my shop.
>> If you her friend, why she
don't feel comfortable with
you around me?
'Cause you got a history
with her.
Like he ain't jammed you
all up.
>> QUANI: Like this is why
we're not supposed to be leaving
it like this.
You're supposed to be leaving
with us.
I'm not going down there to
be a single mom.
It's too bad it has to end
like this.
>> DAUGHTER: [crying]
>> *
>> I know this is your dream.
And this is kinda like
my nightmare.
I'm really scared that I can't
fulfill Dutchess' dreams.
>> If you wanna stay in
New York, that's fine.
>> All right.
>> I want to have some of the
things that make me happy, too.
[sobbing]
>> QUANI: It's too bad it has
to end like this.
>> DAUGHTER: [crying]
>> *
>> I know this is your dream.
And this is kinda like
my nightmare.
I'm really scared that I can't
fulfill Dutchess' dreams.
>> If you wanna stay in
New York, that's fine.
>> All right.
>> I want to have some of the
things that make me happy, too.
[sobbing]
