1
00:00:03,937 --> 00:00:05,606
- In all honesty, it feels good
to get out of New York.
- I'm hoping Puma
will move out here.
2
00:00:05,672 --> 00:00:07,608
- I do like it.
- I'ma keep pushing that.
3
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,243
- I'ma keep pushing it.
- I know. I see.
4
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:11,445
The pressure.
Ugh!
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,547
- Bro, you're not doin' none
of our clients' tats.
6
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:15,382
- (bleep) you, (bleep)!
- (bleep) you too, (bleep)!
7
00:00:15,449 --> 00:00:17,484
(overlapping shouting)
8
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:19,520
- (screams)
Sometimes, you know what I mean,
9
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:21,555
when you upset and (bleep)
or whatever, (bleep) like
10
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:23,857
make you wild out, you know what
I mean, in a certain way.
11
00:00:23,924 --> 00:00:25,125
You dig what I'm sayin'?
12
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:28,428
- Tatti is now the new manager
of 125th.
13
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:30,764
- Okay!
- Okay, Tatti!
14
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:34,234
- Eight people shot dead in
Atlanta-area massage parlors,
15
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:36,170
including six Asian women.
16
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:39,473
- Asian women are being killed
on the streets of Atlanta?
17
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,742
- Us minorities gotta
start sticking together, B.
18
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:44,111
- Right.
- Me educating my friends,
19
00:00:44,178 --> 00:00:46,680
that will make my friends
educate his friends
20
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:49,249
and his family.
This is a good start.

But if you let me
cook the bacon,
31
00:01:40,501 --> 00:01:42,369
then you can have some bacon.

Don't bite me.
33
00:01:43,971 --> 00:01:46,807
It's Father's Day.
Be nice to Dad.

Let him sleep in.
Let the kids run rampant.

Here, bacon.
36
00:01:52,646 --> 00:01:55,916
(laughs)
That part was not hot.
37
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:57,484
Oh, my God.
38
00:01:57,551 --> 00:01:59,386
I literally--
no, don't do that!
39
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:01,388
- I'm feeling kinda special
right now.
40
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:03,590
It's Daddy Day.
- Happy Daddy Day.
41
00:02:03,657 --> 00:02:06,693
- Hey, come on, let me get
a little sugar-- mwah!
42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,229
- You have a table
of goodies over there.
43
00:02:09,296 --> 00:02:11,031
- Wow.
44
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:13,734
I been goin' through
this thing called stress.
45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,702
Been having little gray hairs
poppin' up in this mother(bleep)
46
00:02:15,769 --> 00:02:17,838
right here and (bleep),
but today is one
47
00:02:17,905 --> 00:02:20,974
of my favorite holidays
on the planet.
48
00:02:21,041 --> 00:02:22,276
It's Father's Day!
49
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:24,111
- Give Daddy a few hours
of basketball.
50
00:02:24,178 --> 00:02:27,147
- Ooh, man, this is sounding
like a great Father's Day.
51
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:28,615
- Whatever.
52
00:02:28,682 --> 00:02:30,284
You know what would've been
a great way
53
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:31,618
to celebrate Father's Day?
54
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:34,621
Being in Atlanta.
But no, we're here.
55
00:02:34,688 --> 00:02:37,257
I just wanna get the (bleep) out
of Jersey before the snow
comes back again.
56
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:39,793
You came home and you had
such good energy after Atlanta.
57
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:42,196
Now your hair's
standing up again.
58
00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:44,264
You look stressed.
59
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:46,967
- I'm not gon' lie.
With Ceaser still in Atlanta
60
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:48,569
and then taking off
on vacation,
61
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:50,771
then I don't know
where the hell Ted has been,
62
00:02:50,838 --> 00:02:53,507
I got a lot
on my god-- mm!
63
00:02:53,574 --> 00:02:55,676
I got a lot
on my goddamn plate right now.
64
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:58,912
- You're doin' too much.
- I do too goddamn much, man.
65
00:02:58,979 --> 00:03:01,014
And it's rough.
66
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:04,718
- Can we start going down
to look at places in Atlanta?
67
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,488
- I don't think
it's the right time
to move down south.
68
00:03:08,555 --> 00:03:12,292
I have like little hesitations
about leaving a whole state
69
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:14,428
to go to another state,
you know what I'm sayin'?
70
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:15,996
- I'll land
on something inflatable.
71
00:03:16,063 --> 00:03:17,998
- Yeah, it's usually
my Black ass.
72
00:03:18,065 --> 00:03:20,200
- Can I be excused?
- Go ahead.
73
00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:21,835
- Yes, my beautiful child.
74
00:03:21,902 --> 00:03:25,038
I've worked really hard
to be who I am right here
75
00:03:25,105 --> 00:03:28,475
in this present time,
and I feel like
76
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:31,044
I'm not fully done yet,
you know?
77
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:34,181
I still have
Art 2 Ink Studios out here.
78
00:03:34,248 --> 00:03:36,850
And I have other
business ventures that I started
79
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:38,619
that I didn't really finish.
80
00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:41,288
Yo, it's not as simple
as you think.
81
00:03:41,355 --> 00:03:43,624
I gotta get out of the lease
from the place here.
82
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:45,292
- Our lease is up
in two months.
83
00:03:45,359 --> 00:03:47,895
Like you're making it harder
than what it has to be.
84
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:50,731
- I don't want to have
no hiccups in life.
85
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:52,833
- You're not being reasonable.
86
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,536
- You're not being realistic.
87
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:58,105
- We have been talking about
leaving New York
88
00:03:58,172 --> 00:03:59,740
since we got together.
89
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:02,509
I did not want
to raise my family here.
90
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:05,512
But Puma's not goin' to Atlanta
unless he can bring
New York with him.
91
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,581
I'm ready to go down south
whether Puma likes it or not.
92
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:10,050
- I'm not saying no.
- I'm not accepting no.
93
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,919
I'm gonna continue
to look for jobs.
94
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:13,754
I'm gonna continue to look
at places to rent.
95
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:17,024
I want to be in Atlanta
by the time school starts back.
96
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:17,958
- Oh, my God.
97
00:04:18,025 --> 00:04:20,093
- Happy Father's Day though.
98
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,296
- Thanks.
99
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:24,364
- See you later.
100
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:26,300

106
00:04:42,049 --> 00:04:44,818
There's been a lot of hate
happening towards minorities.
107
00:04:44,885 --> 00:04:46,887
And after what
I went through with Donna,
108
00:04:46,954 --> 00:04:51,024
I feel like it's just not hate
towards minorities.
109
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:53,660
Sometimes it's just us
fighting against each other,
110
00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:54,761
not even knowing.
111
00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:56,530

I'm sorry.

00:04:56,597 --> 00:04:57,898
Thank you for talking to me.
113
00:04:57,965 --> 00:05:00,133
- So I decided
to hold a unity walk.
114
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,636
I wanted to represent
both Black Lives Matter
115
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:03,971
and Stop Asian Hate.
116
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:07,674
That way I'm representing
all Black Ink.
117
00:05:07,741 --> 00:05:09,810
Niko, draw a heart
right here.
118
00:05:09,877 --> 00:05:11,578
A heart.
- A heart?
119
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:14,548
- Yeah.
Ahh!
120
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:16,617
Great job!
(phone ringing)
121
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,085
Ooh!
122
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:27,294
- Hi!
123
00:05:27,361 --> 00:05:28,495
Hi, sweetie.
124
00:05:28,562 --> 00:05:29,863
- My mom is doing good,
125
00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:31,999
but last time I saw her,
it was like--
126
00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:34,801
it was about two years ago
when she came to America
127
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:36,270
to see me and Niko.
128
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,971
- Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh!
129
00:05:41,608 --> 00:05:44,011
- I miss her so much.
Niko misses her.
130
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,947
Ugh, this COVID (bleep)
just really kills me.
131
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:25,185
- It's really,
really important
132
00:06:25,252 --> 00:06:27,020
that I include my friends
on this
133
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:29,723
because all my friends
are Black or Hispanic.
134
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:32,426
They go through so much
just for being them,
135
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:33,827
and it shouldn't be that way.
136
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:35,696
So I just wanted
to show my support,
137
00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:38,031
and it's about my son as well.
138
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:40,400
He is half-Black,
half-Korean.
139
00:06:40,467 --> 00:06:43,403
I want him to be so proud
of who he is.
140
00:06:46,673 --> 00:06:48,041
- I love you!
141
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:51,044

- I'm surprised we all here
so goddamn early.
149
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:07,127
- The early artist
gets the worm.
150
00:07:07,194 --> 00:07:09,096
- I feel like
since we left Atlanta
151
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:11,465
and got back to New York,
152
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:13,000
where is the (bleep) love?
153
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,968
We have some employees
at Brooklyn.
154
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:16,870
We have some employees at 125th.
155
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:18,705
This is not what
Black Ink is.
156
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:20,407
You know what though?
157
00:07:20,474 --> 00:07:23,177
I was surprised at how good
Tatti's little cookout was.
158
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:25,546
- You talking 'bout
the barbecue?
- Yeah, man.
159
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,881
We are still all a family,
like you know what I mean?
160
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,550
We still gon'
have to work together.
161
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:32,553
- Sorry about
that whole (bleep), man.
- It's good.
162
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,488
Triggers are a real thing.
- Yeah.
163
00:07:34,555 --> 00:07:37,858
- And I'm starting to learn,
"Breathe, Spyder.
It's not that serious."
164
00:07:37,925 --> 00:07:40,961
- With all the good
positive energy that came
from Tatti's barbecue,
165
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:42,963
I thought we need to keep
that ball rolling.
166
00:07:43,030 --> 00:07:44,831
All it's gonna take is me
and Tatti coordinating
167
00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:46,366
this whole situation.
168
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,601
Do you feel it, people?
169
00:07:47,668 --> 00:07:49,102
It's another Puma production.
170
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:51,905
- Pumie!
- Ah, you out and about.
171
00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:53,774
- Yeah, I'm just pulling up
to 125th.
172
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:55,375
What's up?
- I was thinking,
173
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:57,077
now that we're
in a good place again,
174
00:07:57,144 --> 00:08:00,314
we should do something
to create a little unity.
175
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:01,882
- Oh, (bleep).
176
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:04,318
Puma's thinking about
team building again.
177
00:08:04,384 --> 00:08:07,888
- Our team bonding
is about to happen.
178
00:08:10,524 --> 00:08:12,626
- All right, Tatti will be
captain for team one.
179
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:14,494
- The way we should really
do this is that you guys--
180
00:08:14,561 --> 00:08:17,064
- (blows whistle)
I'm running this race!
181
00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:18,899
So everybody
shut the (bleep) up!
182
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:20,133
- What the hell
is he thinking?
183
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,236
This always ends in fighting.
184
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:24,838
What do you mean?
We over here, we drama-free.
185
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:28,242
And we have Bae's
unity walk coming up.
186
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,310
We happy over here.
- Yeah, but you know, still,
187
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:32,412
there's a separation,
you know what I'm saying?
188
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:35,649
So I'm thinking about another
Puma production.
189
00:08:35,716 --> 00:08:37,451
- (bleep).
Here it comes.
190
00:08:37,518 --> 00:08:39,186
In three, two...
191
00:08:39,253 --> 00:08:41,755
- Maybe we need another
Black Ink Battle.
192
00:08:41,822 --> 00:08:44,458
Part deux.
193
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:46,827
The girls versus the boys.
194
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:51,131
♪♪♪♪
195
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:55,269
While we were down in Atlanta,
the morale was a little low.
196
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:56,937
So we had a nice
tattoo competition
197
00:08:57,004 --> 00:08:59,206
with Black Ink New York
and Black Ink Atlanta.
198
00:08:59,273 --> 00:09:01,275
It was a good time
and everybody had fun.
199
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:04,411
- That means I won too!
(laughter)
200
00:09:04,478 --> 00:09:06,547
- And it definitely boosted
the morale in the shop.
201
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:09,449
So why not give it
a second go round?
202
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:10,918
- The girls versus boy--
203
00:09:10,984 --> 00:09:13,654
are you sure
that's a fair competition?
204
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,855
- Yeah!
205
00:09:14,922 --> 00:09:18,192
- The girls have Bae
and Krystal.
206
00:09:18,258 --> 00:09:21,195
Doesn't seem like much
of a competition.
207
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:24,798
All right, so, uh,
what's the prize gonna be?
208
00:09:24,865 --> 00:09:26,567
- Like maybe, um...
209
00:09:26,633 --> 00:09:29,636
the losers will have
to be apprentice
210
00:09:29,703 --> 00:09:31,171
to the winning squad.
211
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,207
- (bleep) yeah, let's do it.
- Yeah, let's do it.
212
00:09:33,273 --> 00:09:35,242
- So, uh,
when are we doing this?
213
00:09:35,309 --> 00:09:36,877
- Ceaser's gone, so (bleep) it.
214
00:09:36,944 --> 00:09:39,146
We can do whatever the (bleep)
we want right now, right?
215
00:09:39,213 --> 00:09:40,414
(Ceaser)
What the (bleep)?
216
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,482
- Uh, I guess--
- Good-bye.
217
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:43,784
- Oh...
218
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:46,253
- Black Ink Battle... begin!
219
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,122
- I'm gonna bring home
a victory for the guys.
220
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:51,625
- Team bitches all day,
you heard?
221
00:09:51,692 --> 00:09:54,228
- Yeah, it didn't go well.
- What do you mean?
222
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:56,196
- Everybody's not happy.
- What is it?
223
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,365
Can somebody tell me?
224
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:02,269
It's us versus racism, so let's
win this fight together.
225
00:10:02,336 --> 00:10:04,671
Today I'm leading
a Blasian unity walk.
226
00:10:04,738 --> 00:10:08,075
It's really important
that we stand for one another.
227
00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:20,821
♪♪♪♪
228
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:25,826
- Hey.
- Hi, Bobby.
229
00:10:25,893 --> 00:10:27,728
- How are you?
- I'm great. You?
230
00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:28,929
- Good.
I'm excited.
231
00:10:28,996 --> 00:10:31,431
- Today my client is
Bobby Peterson.
232
00:10:31,498 --> 00:10:32,766
You've been enjoying
New York though?
233
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:34,401
- I have.
See the pretty lights
234
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,937
and then I go back to Georgia.
- Yeah?
235
00:10:37,004 --> 00:10:39,106
His mother was one
of the victims
236
00:10:39,173 --> 00:10:41,542
of the Atlanta spa shooting.
237
00:10:41,608 --> 00:10:44,311
And that incident
really hit me hard.
238
00:10:44,378 --> 00:10:47,915
So doing this tattoo for Bobby
means everything to me.
239
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:51,385
When I heard what happened
to Korean women in Atlanta,
240
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:53,487
it really felt like
it was my story.
241
00:10:53,554 --> 00:10:55,255
It wasn't but it was.
242
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:56,857
- It's all of our story.
- I know.
243
00:10:56,924 --> 00:10:59,860
And also when I found out
that you are just like Niko...
244
00:10:59,927 --> 00:11:02,396
- Right.
- ...half-Black, half-Korean,
245
00:11:02,462 --> 00:11:04,565
I'm like,
I have to see him!
246
00:11:04,631 --> 00:11:06,033
- (chuckling)
247
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:08,435
- I'm honored to give Bobby
this tattoo.
248
00:11:08,502 --> 00:11:09,770
And while he's here,
249
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:12,105
I invited him
to the Blasian unity walk.
250
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:15,843
This event will just give
Black and Asian communities
251
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:18,312
some comfort and healing
that they need.
252
00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:22,516
I know you told me about your
mom's famous kimchi-jjigae.
253
00:11:22,583 --> 00:11:24,484
- Yes.
- And we're gonna do that.
254
00:11:24,551 --> 00:11:28,488
- Mmm-mm-mm.
That does look like home.
255
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,490
- Kimchi-jjigae is a dish
256
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:34,995
that like every household...
makes.
257
00:11:35,062 --> 00:11:39,666
It's just family, moms,
that's just what it is for us.
258
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,668
If I could do this
and make him smile
259
00:11:41,735 --> 00:11:43,804
every time he looks down
on his tattoo,
260
00:11:43,871 --> 00:11:46,640
that would just
make me feel so happy.
261
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:49,409
That's how she express her love.
- Yeah, I know.
262
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:51,778
- She would just feed you.
That's her love.
263
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:55,883
- I do-- I wish I could
tell her that I know that.
264
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:59,786
I just wish that day
would've went a lot different.
265
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:01,522
- It just makes me so sad.
266
00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:05,659
- Anti-Asian bias and hate
has existed for a long time.
267
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:07,027
And I want the world to know
268
00:12:07,094 --> 00:12:09,963
that my mother was taken
from me for hate.
269
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:12,132
That's why it's important
to have representation
270
00:12:12,199 --> 00:12:13,300
and diversity...
- Right.
271
00:12:13,367 --> 00:12:14,968
- ...and have a seat
at the table.
272
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,670
So that's why, again,
I'm glad I'm getting a tattoo
273
00:12:16,737 --> 00:12:19,273
by a Korean artist.
- I feel so honored.
274
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:22,743

That pandemic (bleep), man.
That's part of me
306
00:13:52,699 --> 00:13:54,234
cutting this mother(bleep) beard
off my face.
307
00:13:54,301 --> 00:13:56,436
I felt that (bleep) was full
of pandemic depression.
308
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:59,506
Shaving my beard definitely
made me feel like a lot lighter.
309
00:13:59,573 --> 00:14:01,375
Like I feel like
I renewed my look.
310
00:14:01,441 --> 00:14:04,444
Oh, (bleep),
what the (bleep) is going on?
311
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:07,848
Sad, depressed Ted was left

Happy Ted has arrived.

00:14:09,149 --> 00:14:11,084
- Has Ceas seen
the new look yet?
314
00:14:11,151 --> 00:14:12,986
- I haven't seen him
since I told him how I felt
315
00:14:13,053 --> 00:14:15,822
about the stupid
press conference.
316
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:19,059
We gon' figure this out
together, bro.

00:14:19,126 --> 00:14:21,028
You know I never tell you
nothin' wrong, man.
318
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:24,164
- So me and Tatti came up
with a really dope idea, man,
319
00:14:24,231 --> 00:14:26,900
to do like another
Black Ink Battle.
320
00:14:31,438 --> 00:14:33,974
You know, get the competitive
juices flowing.
321
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:37,044
Since that (bleep) worked out
really well in Atlanta,
you know what I mean?
322
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,912
- It did go good.
I always joke with Puma
323
00:14:38,979 --> 00:14:41,448
about his whole Puma production
goin' and (bleep).
324
00:14:41,515 --> 00:14:44,418
But if it goes all wrong,
it's all Puma's fault anyway.
325
00:14:44,484 --> 00:14:47,154
How was Father's Day?
- It was all right, you know?
326
00:14:47,221 --> 00:14:50,357
Typical (bleep).
Socks, cologne...
327
00:14:50,424 --> 00:14:52,025
pressure to move to Atlanta.
328
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:55,829
- Being pressured to move
to ATL?
329
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:57,898
- Yeah, Quani's on
my (bleep) back, man, like...
330
00:14:57,965 --> 00:14:59,967
- I mean, I was telling you that
down there.
331
00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:01,802
- Everything I have is up here.
332
00:15:01,869 --> 00:15:03,937
I don't really have too much
down there.
333
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:05,806
- Ya gotta go create it, bro.
334
00:15:05,873 --> 00:15:07,107
- And I'm--
I'm a little nervous.
335
00:15:07,174 --> 00:15:09,343
- What are you nervous about,
man?
336
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:10,677
- My kids, bro.
337
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:12,045
I don't want to fail my kids
338
00:15:12,112 --> 00:15:15,482
like I was failed as a kid,
you know?
339
00:15:15,549 --> 00:15:16,950
My mission in life is always
340
00:15:17,017 --> 00:15:19,820
to never let them go through
what I went through.
341
00:15:19,887 --> 00:15:22,923
Not knowing where
your mother is,
342
00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:25,993
not knowing
who your father is,
343
00:15:26,059 --> 00:15:29,863
not knowing... where
you're gonna be staying at.
344
00:15:29,930 --> 00:15:32,733
My thing is for them kids to
have the most...
345
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:34,067
easy pickings life.
346
00:15:34,134 --> 00:15:36,103
I sometimes feel like
maybe it is, like,
347
00:15:36,170 --> 00:15:37,604
my mental health
that's stopping me too.
348
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:39,706
So, I started going
to a therapist
349
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:41,742
just to make sure
I'm all right.
350
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:43,210
- Like sittin' down talking
to somebody?
351
00:15:43,277 --> 00:15:44,211
- Yeah.
352
00:15:44,278 --> 00:15:46,046
- What are your main fears?
353
00:15:46,113 --> 00:15:49,449
- Something happening,
honestly, to me.
354
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:52,019
It's just mainly
keeping us safe,
355
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:54,955
and I want to make sure that
I'm a really great parent.
356
00:15:55,022 --> 00:15:57,291
So, I was dealing
with a Black male,
357
00:15:57,357 --> 00:15:59,593
but as I kept going,
358
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:01,528
I met a Black woman
in Atlanta now,
359
00:16:01,595 --> 00:16:02,696
and she's been great.
360
00:16:02,763 --> 00:16:04,064
- How you feelin'?
Did it help you?
361
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:06,099
- Yeah.
She's helped me a lot.
362
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:08,535
- It feels good to hear someone
close to me
363
00:16:08,602 --> 00:16:11,205
and someone that's like me
to be in therapy,
364
00:16:11,271 --> 00:16:13,173
because in the Black community
a lot of guys are scared
365
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,975
to step up and take the steps
366
00:16:15,042 --> 00:16:17,544
to doin' therapy
because of the way we're raised.
367
00:16:17,611 --> 00:16:20,214
So, therapy is something
that is definitely needed
in our community.
368
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,449
You have the opportunity.
Take advantage of it.
369
00:16:22,516 --> 00:16:25,452
If you go to Atlanta,
say in the first year
you don't like it...
370
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:26,987
- I still have it, yeah.
- You still have a home here.
371
00:16:27,054 --> 00:16:28,322
But you gotta try, bro.
- I'd better keep that.
372
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:29,590
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
373
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:31,258
- Gotta try it.

375

376
00:16:40,868 --> 00:16:42,069
- Yeah, probably a mile.
377
00:16:42,135 --> 00:16:43,403
- Probably a mile?
- A mile's nothing.
378
00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:45,339
- A mile is nothing
drivin' in the car.

386
00:16:58,485 --> 00:17:00,854
Today I'm leading
a Blasian unity walk
387
00:17:00,921 --> 00:17:02,456
across the Brooklyn Bridge
388
00:17:02,523 --> 00:17:05,225
for both Black Lives Matter
and Stop Asian Hate.
389
00:17:05,292 --> 00:17:06,927
Bobby agreed to participate,
390
00:17:06,994 --> 00:17:09,496
and I brought
my little baby, Niko,
391
00:17:09,563 --> 00:17:12,432
and all my friends are here.
It means the world to me
392
00:17:12,499 --> 00:17:14,868
that everybody's here
to support this.
393
00:17:14,935 --> 00:17:16,069

Are these your walking shoes?
394
00:17:16,136 --> 00:17:17,271
- You know what?
I didn't know that
395
00:17:17,337 --> 00:17:18,672
you technically had to walk,
though.
396
00:17:18,739 --> 00:17:20,674
(Ceaser)
You wore Jordans
to a walking event?
397
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:21,875
- I thought I was bad.
398
00:17:21,942 --> 00:17:24,645
- Uh-oh, Young Bae!
And young Niko!
399

00:17:26,246 --> 00:17:28,048

Say hi to my special,
special guest, Bobby Peterson.
410
00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:49,770
- What up, Bob, what up?
- How you doin'?
411
00:17:49,837 --> 00:17:51,038
Thank you all for being here.
412
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:52,339
Thank you all for having me.
413
00:17:52,406 --> 00:17:54,875
I'm from Atlanta, Georgia,
and on March 16,
414
00:17:54,942 --> 00:17:56,643
my mother was one
of the women murdered
415
00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:58,579
in the Atlanta spa shootings.
416
00:17:58,645 --> 00:18:01,348
- Oh, wow.
- To lose my mother in this way,
417
00:18:01,415 --> 00:18:03,050
based on bigotry and hatred,
has really been
418
00:18:03,116 --> 00:18:04,751
devastating for my family.
419
00:18:04,818 --> 00:18:06,053
And as you can tell,
420
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,588
my father's Black
and my mother's Korean,
421
00:18:07,654 --> 00:18:10,858
so both Black Lives Matter
and Asian Lives Matter
422
00:18:10,924 --> 00:18:12,326
is very important to me.
- Right.
423
00:18:12,392 --> 00:18:14,161
- I just thank you all
for being here.
424
00:18:14,228 --> 00:18:15,629
Thank you all for having me.
425
00:18:15,696 --> 00:18:17,364
And again, I appreciate
the work that you're doing.
426
00:18:17,431 --> 00:18:19,233
- Thank you for being here, yo.
427
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:21,235
That (bleep) takes a lot
of courage comin' up here,
428
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:22,970
going through
what you goin' through
429
00:18:23,036 --> 00:18:25,305
and walkin' with us,
you know what I mean?
430
00:18:25,372 --> 00:18:27,774
- This means, like,
the world to me 'cause
431
00:18:27,841 --> 00:18:30,511
we go through a different,
you know, type of racism,
432
00:18:30,577 --> 00:18:32,679
but at the end of the day,
we fight the same fight.
433
00:18:32,746 --> 00:18:36,850
It's us versus racism, so let's
win this fight together.

506
00:21:55,782 --> 00:21:59,386
Young Bae, Vanity, Krystal,
and we have Khylah.
507
00:21:59,453 --> 00:22:03,190
And on the male side,
we have Rok, Spyder,
508
00:22:03,257 --> 00:22:05,859
Swiss, and we got
that boy Alex.
509
00:22:05,926 --> 00:22:10,697
Straight from Atlanta,
Disciple and my man, Jiggaman.
510
00:22:10,764 --> 00:22:12,499
All right.
(cheers and applause)
511
00:22:12,566 --> 00:22:14,501
Yeah, there they go.
Yeah.
512
00:22:14,568 --> 00:22:16,670
- What's happening?
513
00:22:16,737 --> 00:22:18,705
- Since Ceaser just left to go
on vacation,
514
00:22:18,772 --> 00:22:21,241
Feezy, Tatti, and myself
515
00:22:21,308 --> 00:22:23,177
will be judging this
competition.
516
00:22:23,243 --> 00:22:25,245
We're gonna be judging
on working together,
517
00:22:25,312 --> 00:22:26,914
because that is key.
518
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:29,616
And the overall tattoo itself.
519
00:22:29,683 --> 00:22:31,652
Damn it,
it's a Black Ink Battle!
520
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:34,188
The losing team...
- The girls.
521
00:22:34,254 --> 00:22:35,656
(laughter)
522
00:22:35,722 --> 00:22:38,158
- Will be the apprentice
for the day.
523
00:22:38,225 --> 00:22:39,393
- What?
524
00:22:39,459 --> 00:22:41,695
- What?
Who gon' beat me?
525
00:22:41,762 --> 00:22:45,232
Please, please! Stop.
(laughs loudly)
526
00:22:45,299 --> 00:22:48,035
- Your clients are two women,
and they are a couple.
527
00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:50,771
And before we bring them in,
you have five minutes
528
00:22:50,838 --> 00:22:53,373
as a team to come up
with a game plan.
What y'all gonna do?
529
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,475
- Ladies,
let's meet in the back.
Let's take it to the back.
530
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:58,612
Tonight's competition will
consist of four categories:
531
00:22:58,679 --> 00:23:01,014
Consultation, design,
532
00:23:01,081 --> 00:23:03,016
black ink work, and color work.
533
00:23:03,083 --> 00:23:04,585
(Krystal)
Who's good under pressure?
534
00:23:04,651 --> 00:23:07,688
I almost had a heart attack
the last competition.
535
00:23:07,754 --> 00:23:09,356
- I wanna do the consultation
536
00:23:09,423 --> 00:23:11,391
because I feel like that's
really, like, important
537
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:13,861
to get the ideas from the client
and, you know,
538
00:23:13,927 --> 00:23:17,097
get their idea
and, you know, make it better.
539
00:23:17,164 --> 00:23:19,132
- Which one of y'all wants
to do the consultation?
540
00:23:19,199 --> 00:23:20,601
- I'll kick it off.
- Yeah, so, all right, yeah.
541
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:24,004
- If the design that they want
is not up to par,
542
00:23:24,071 --> 00:23:26,640
we gotta talk 'em into it,
you feel me?
543
00:23:26,707 --> 00:23:28,141
- Who's drawing it?
544
00:23:28,208 --> 00:23:29,977
- I'm diggity down
with drawing it.
545
00:23:30,043 --> 00:23:31,678
(Khylah)
I'll apply it.
546
00:23:31,745 --> 00:23:33,113
- Who's good at color?
547
00:23:33,180 --> 00:23:34,948
- A'ight, who's most comfortable
with color?
548
00:23:35,015 --> 00:23:37,451
- Color, ha, I'm most... Yeah.
- Happy with color?
549
00:23:37,518 --> 00:23:39,119
- If it's some color (bleep),
it's Rok.
550
00:23:39,186 --> 00:23:40,554
- If it's a gang tattoo,
I'll do it.
551
00:23:40,621 --> 00:23:42,022
(laughter)
552
00:23:42,089 --> 00:23:44,625
- See, he got it.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
553
00:23:44,691 --> 00:23:46,894
- I hope they come with some
good (bleep), some good skin.
554
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,328
- But here's the issue
when you tattoo
555
00:23:48,395 --> 00:23:51,298
in a predominantly
African American community.
556
00:23:51,365 --> 00:23:53,667
Most of the people,
when they bring their tattoo,
557
00:23:53,734 --> 00:23:55,002
their reference and their ideas,
558
00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:57,204
they're on more
fair-skinned people.
559
00:23:57,271 --> 00:24:00,474
A lot of (bleep) can't translate
on darker skin.
560
00:24:00,541 --> 00:24:02,676
- You know you gotta,
on darker complexions,
561
00:24:02,743 --> 00:24:04,478
use light pastels.
562
00:24:04,545 --> 00:24:07,381
- Girl, I'm gonna consult her.
563
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:09,383
Don't worry.
- Word.
564
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:11,952
- One, two, three...
- (all) Girls!
565
00:24:12,019 --> 00:24:13,687
- Come on in, ladies,
ladies, ladies.
566
00:24:13,754 --> 00:24:16,857
- Hi, ladies.
- Black Ink staff,
567
00:24:16,924 --> 00:24:18,692
these are the clients:
568
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,261
Nicole, and her wife, Keisha.
569
00:24:21,328 --> 00:24:23,397
Nicole, first off,
choose your team.
570
00:24:26,233 --> 00:24:27,768
- I think I'm gonna go
with the guys.
571
00:24:27,835 --> 00:24:29,469
- All right, yeah.
(applause)
572
00:24:29,536 --> 00:24:33,207
- Nicole.
Keisha, you're with the girls.
573
00:24:33,273 --> 00:24:34,808
- Hi, Keisha!
574
00:24:34,875 --> 00:24:37,110
- All right, please explain
to the artist
575
00:24:37,177 --> 00:24:38,946
what you're trying to
get done today.
576
00:24:39,012 --> 00:24:41,481
- We want a lady.
She's, like, chillin' in
577
00:24:41,548 --> 00:24:43,817
a little silhouette,
and her head is like
578
00:24:43,884 --> 00:24:46,787
in a Pride galaxy,
basically.
579
00:24:46,854 --> 00:24:48,822
- I see color.
- In color.
580
00:24:48,889 --> 00:24:50,657
- And so, that's cute,
that's cute.
581
00:24:50,724 --> 00:24:52,125
- Wait, aren't we in
Pride month?
582
00:24:52,192 --> 00:24:53,460
- We are in Pride month.
- Yay!
583
00:24:53,527 --> 00:24:56,496
- Well, hey, look at that!
(all cheering)
584
00:24:56,563 --> 00:25:00,167
- Now, it's up to each team
to interpret
585
00:25:00,234 --> 00:25:04,037
and design, and give these
ladies what they want.
586
00:25:04,104 --> 00:25:06,974
- Black Ink Battle, begin!
587
00:25:08,175 --> 00:25:10,043
- Take a seat.
(sighs)
588
00:25:10,110 --> 00:25:12,479
Get comfy.
- Get comfortable.
589
00:25:12,546 --> 00:25:15,949
- Keisha, girl, have a sit.
- Sit in our office.
590
00:25:16,016 --> 00:25:18,051
- Hey, you guys.
- All right, so,
591
00:25:18,118 --> 00:25:20,354
where are you thinking about
getting this tattoo?
592
00:25:20,420 --> 00:25:23,223
- Whatever works, really, 'cause
I know I got a couple of tats.
593
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:25,526
- What do you think about
right there on the back?
594
00:25:25,592 --> 00:25:27,461
What, on the back shoulder?
The shoulder back?
595
00:25:27,528 --> 00:25:28,996
- That'd be dope.
- That's a good spot.
596
00:25:29,062 --> 00:25:30,297
- Yeah, I like that.
All right,
597
00:25:30,364 --> 00:25:32,933
so it seem like we got it
all figured out.
598
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,168
I'm about to get out of here.
599
00:25:34,234 --> 00:25:35,669
I gotta go move into
my apartment.
600
00:25:35,736 --> 00:25:38,372
Appreciate y'all.
I'm outta here.
Make me proud.
601
00:25:38,438 --> 00:25:40,574
(Puma)
Alex is doing a horrible job.
602
00:25:40,641 --> 00:25:42,376
This (bleep) is already leaving,
603
00:25:42,442 --> 00:25:45,512
Oh, man, fellas, this ain't
lookin' too good for y'all.
604
00:25:45,579 --> 00:25:47,581
- I say you keep that (bleep)
real simple, bro.
605
00:25:47,648 --> 00:25:51,018
We'll put some stars around it,
call it a day.
606
00:25:51,084 --> 00:25:52,986
- And if we ask her and she says
she (bleep) with this,
607
00:25:53,053 --> 00:25:54,288
then we would do it, but...
- Oh, no.
608
00:25:54,354 --> 00:25:55,722
What?
We're tattoo artists.
609
00:25:55,789 --> 00:25:57,191
We choose the tattoo.
610
00:25:57,257 --> 00:26:00,727
No, "Rok-y" Balboa,
leave her.
611
00:26:00,794 --> 00:26:02,196
They told us what they want.
612
00:26:02,262 --> 00:26:03,797
Let us put it together
and deliver.
613
00:26:03,864 --> 00:26:05,866
I don't go to the restaurant
and tell the chef how much salt
614
00:26:05,933 --> 00:26:08,402
and black pepper I want on
my food, you know what I mean?
615
00:26:08,468 --> 00:26:10,204
(Rok)
What tattoo do you wanna get?
616
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:12,406
- A girl with a body.
Like, more of...
617
00:26:12,472 --> 00:26:14,408
- So, you want... so, she want
body, she don't want--
618
00:26:14,474 --> 00:26:16,777
just want the head in
the clouds, I mean hadn't...
619
00:26:16,844 --> 00:26:20,080
- Rok, you are a tattoo artist
that clients will walk over.
620
00:26:20,147 --> 00:26:21,515
- My customer's always happy.
621
00:26:21,582 --> 00:26:23,750
- The customer is not always
right, (bleep) no.
622
00:26:23,817 --> 00:26:25,219
Not in here.
623
00:26:25,285 --> 00:26:27,521
- Does Spyder treat
all his clients like this?
624
00:26:27,588 --> 00:26:30,390
Usually, the customer
is always right.
625
00:26:30,457 --> 00:26:33,093
He's telling me,
(bleep) the customer.
626
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,429
Is this the Team Guys
or Team Spyder?
627
00:26:35,495 --> 00:26:36,697
- Hell no!
628
00:26:38,632 --> 00:26:41,235
- The customer is paying.
- That don't mean (bleep).
629
00:26:41,301 --> 00:26:42,903
So, I'm right if I tell
my mechanic
630
00:26:42,970 --> 00:26:44,972
what to do to my Benz?
631
00:26:45,038 --> 00:26:47,975
- Uh...
(sighs)
632
00:26:48,041 --> 00:26:51,311
- That's why I never
do consultations
with other artists.
633
00:26:53,146 --> 00:26:56,049
- Bye, guys!
Sorry, I have to go!
634
00:26:56,116 --> 00:26:58,218
- In a shocking turn
of events,
635
00:26:58,285 --> 00:27:00,988
Bae has abruptly
left the building.
636
00:27:01,054 --> 00:27:02,656
- I don't--
I don't see teamwork.
637
00:27:02,723 --> 00:27:05,592
(Tatti)
Vanity has the team
on her shoulders right now.
638
00:27:05,659 --> 00:27:07,828
It's not lookin' good
for the girls.
639
00:27:07,895 --> 00:27:10,030
♪♪♪♪
640
00:27:14,401 --> 00:27:21,074
♪♪♪♪
641
00:27:21,141 --> 00:27:23,110
- So, I'm right if I tell
my mechanic
642
00:27:23,177 --> 00:27:24,678
what to do to my Benz?
643
00:27:24,745 --> 00:27:27,681
- So far, the Black Ink Battle
is looking bad for the guys.
644
00:27:27,748 --> 00:27:30,150
They're arguing again.
- (chuckles)
645
00:27:30,217 --> 00:27:32,052
- It's not lookin'
too good over here.
646
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,788
- That's why I never
do consultations
with other artists.
647
00:27:34,855 --> 00:27:38,058
- So you want, um,
full-color tattoo?
648
00:27:38,125 --> 00:27:39,326
(Keisha)
Yeah.
649
00:27:39,393 --> 00:27:41,428
I've never experimented
with color before, so...
650
00:27:41,495 --> 00:27:43,463
- I see a little red here.
651
00:27:43,530 --> 00:27:45,265
- Oh, like, well, it's red.
652
00:27:45,332 --> 00:27:47,434
I feel like red shows up
on everybody, but like...
653
00:27:47,501 --> 00:27:48,735
- That's like a burgundy.
654
00:27:48,802 --> 00:27:51,572
- Why would anybody use
burgundy on her, right?
655
00:27:51,638 --> 00:27:53,207
- I guess it's the way
my skin healed,
656
00:27:53,273 --> 00:27:54,675
'cause it was really bright.
657
00:27:54,741 --> 00:27:58,145
- I don't think the full color's
gonna work, right?
658
00:27:58,212 --> 00:28:01,782
- For the galaxy look,
you're gonna need it.
659
00:28:01,849 --> 00:28:04,785
- Right, but as a tattoo artist,
we have to think about,
660
00:28:04,852 --> 00:28:06,887
you know,
what we're working with.
661
00:28:06,954 --> 00:28:09,223
And we want to give you
what's best for you,
662
00:28:09,289 --> 00:28:12,893
and what's gonna stay,
and what's gonna look beautiful
663
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,395
10 years later, 20 years later,
you know what I'm saying?
664
00:28:15,462 --> 00:28:18,332
So, I don't think full-color
is the option.
665
00:28:18,398 --> 00:28:20,033
What you think?
666
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:21,835
- So, you want us to limit
the palette,
667
00:28:21,902 --> 00:28:23,370
is what you're saying to...
- Right.
668
00:28:23,437 --> 00:28:27,441
Because purple, blue,
and it's just not gonna work.
669
00:28:27,508 --> 00:28:28,909
Certain color won't stay.
670
00:28:28,976 --> 00:28:30,911
It's gonna be there
for a couple of days
671
00:28:30,978 --> 00:28:33,547
and it's gonna just go away.
672
00:28:33,614 --> 00:28:35,516
And it's my job to tell
my clients
673
00:28:35,582 --> 00:28:39,186
that's not how it's gonna look
after it's done healing.
674
00:28:39,253 --> 00:28:42,856
Is that okay, or do you,
like... want it?
675
00:28:42,923 --> 00:28:45,859
'Cause we can only suggest,
but then at the end of the day,
676
00:28:45,926 --> 00:28:47,394
this is your tattoo.
677
00:28:47,461 --> 00:28:50,898
It don't have to look good
for anybody but yourself.
678
00:28:50,964 --> 00:28:52,566
(Vanity)
It's never easy to tell a client
679
00:28:52,633 --> 00:28:54,635
what they can
and cannot get done.
680
00:28:54,701 --> 00:28:56,436
But it's how you go
about it
681
00:28:56,503 --> 00:28:58,605
and the options
you offer the client
682
00:28:58,672 --> 00:29:00,541
that can really make
the difference.
683
00:29:00,607 --> 00:29:01,942
- Like, if it can't be
full-color,
684
00:29:02,009 --> 00:29:03,243
like, what colors
can you work with
685
00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:05,045
that work with my skin,
you know, as...
686
00:29:05,112 --> 00:29:07,948
- So, we can do a color splash.
687
00:29:08,015 --> 00:29:10,817
- Reddish will definitely work.
Reddish.
688
00:29:10,884 --> 00:29:14,121
'Cause we want this
to just last forever.
689
00:29:14,188 --> 00:29:16,990
- And that works too, because
I think babe's a fire sign.
690
00:29:17,057 --> 00:29:19,393
So, that will do it.
- Mm-hm, and you're fire, girl.
691
00:29:19,459 --> 00:29:20,694
You're fire.
(laughter)
692
00:29:22,362 --> 00:29:26,099
- Okay, so let's go to the Rok
school of tattooing, right?
693
00:29:26,166 --> 00:29:29,570
Client, what do you--
you want a tattoo with a body?
694
00:29:29,636 --> 00:29:32,439
If you go with a body,
there's gonna be no detail.
695
00:29:32,506 --> 00:29:34,474
Because you gotta put
that whole body and that face.
696
00:29:34,541 --> 00:29:35,843
You're not gonna get no face.
697
00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:37,845
It's gonna be simple
because less is more,
698
00:29:37,911 --> 00:29:40,314
especially dealing
with darker skin.
699
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:43,517
And then the colors
on top of that is just
a whole nother animal.
700
00:29:43,584 --> 00:29:46,987
Certain colors won't even apply.
But it'll look good at first,
701
00:29:47,054 --> 00:29:48,889
even though later on
it's gonna disappear.
702
00:29:48,956 --> 00:29:51,558
I'm sorry for Rok confusing you.
703
00:29:51,625 --> 00:29:54,595
- The green, blue, and purple
is good enough colors.
704
00:29:54,661 --> 00:29:58,365
- We gotta do the bright colors.
That's what she wants.
705
00:29:58,432 --> 00:30:02,769
So, what we're gonna
do is minimize how much
of the yellow...
706
00:30:02,836 --> 00:30:05,239
- Because she said, it wa--
707
00:30:05,305 --> 00:30:07,374
she said that it was okay not,
you know, if it don't show.
708
00:30:07,441 --> 00:30:09,776
- Yeah, she doesn't-- it doesn't
have to be all the colors.
709
00:30:09,843 --> 00:30:11,712
- There seems to be
a disagreement
710
00:30:11,778 --> 00:30:13,914
on what kind of colors to use.
711
00:30:13,981 --> 00:30:17,217
Ladies, this might be a good
time to consult with your client
712
00:30:17,284 --> 00:30:18,418
and see what she thinks.
713
00:30:18,485 --> 00:30:21,355
- This is the... the image.
714
00:30:27,895 --> 00:30:29,196
- Talk to me, girl.
It's all right.
715
00:30:29,263 --> 00:30:31,131
I'm not trying to make you feel
like I'm minim--
716
00:30:31,198 --> 00:30:33,667
- No, I mean if you wanna,
like, go along more so
717
00:30:33,734 --> 00:30:34,768
with the design that...
- It's your vision.
718
00:30:34,835 --> 00:30:37,104
- Oh, my God.
Okay.
719
00:30:37,171 --> 00:30:39,106
Okay, this is not going
the way I thought.
720
00:30:39,173 --> 00:30:43,177
- It's like totally different.
Like totally different.
721
00:30:43,243 --> 00:30:47,047
Like it doesn't really
like give what I gave at all.
722
00:30:47,114 --> 00:30:51,084
- Ohh, customer satisfaction.
723
00:30:51,151 --> 00:30:52,753
Noted.
724
00:30:52,819 --> 00:30:57,057
- I did the design
exactly how she wanted.
725
00:30:57,124 --> 00:31:01,762
Everything I did was
everything she asked for.
726
00:31:01,828 --> 00:31:04,631
How are we feeling
about this, guys?
727
00:31:04,698 --> 00:31:07,000
The smoke is gonna be
negative space.
728
00:31:07,067 --> 00:31:09,636
The other stuff, remember,
you're not doing all the colors.
729
00:31:09,703 --> 00:31:13,407
You'll do it with grays,
730
00:31:13,473 --> 00:31:15,709
blacks, reds.
731
00:31:15,776 --> 00:31:17,778
You can throw
some pinks in there.
732
00:31:17,845 --> 00:31:19,479
- Okay.
- Look.
733
00:31:19,546 --> 00:31:21,515
- Okay.
734
00:31:21,582 --> 00:31:23,283
Yes, yes, yes.
735
00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:25,018
- I like this.
We might have to do this
736
00:31:25,085 --> 00:31:27,054
a little bit more often.
737
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,956
We've had
a breakthrough, people!
738
00:31:29,022 --> 00:31:32,192
Thank God the girls' team
finally got it together.
739
00:31:32,259 --> 00:31:34,161
The client is happy
with the design
740
00:31:34,228 --> 00:31:36,697
and they can finally
start tattooing.
741
00:31:36,763 --> 00:31:39,132
- You start and she finish.
742
00:31:39,199 --> 00:31:40,767
- Okay, we can do that, yeah.
743
00:31:40,834 --> 00:31:42,569
- I'm not doing nothing in it.
744
00:31:42,636 --> 00:31:45,005
- Why?
- I don't like the design.
745
00:31:45,072 --> 00:31:48,709
- But that's where you come in
as a real artist.
746
00:31:48,775 --> 00:31:50,277
You can make it your style.
747
00:31:50,344 --> 00:31:52,045
- I already won
a Black Ink Battle,
748
00:31:52,112 --> 00:31:54,181
so I feel like I don't have
nothin' to prove.
749
00:31:54,248 --> 00:31:57,117
Plus, I do not tattoo
constellations.
750
00:31:57,184 --> 00:31:59,253
I don't know what space
look like, I never been there.
751
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:01,488
Nah, I don't want to tattoo.
(laughter)
752
00:32:01,555 --> 00:32:02,689
- Okay, okay.
753
00:32:02,756 --> 00:32:04,591
- This is a crazy
Black Ink Battle
754
00:32:04,658 --> 00:32:06,093
we got this evening, folks!
755
00:32:06,159 --> 00:32:08,128
- Disciple is definitely
distracted right now
756
00:32:08,195 --> 00:32:10,631
from all things that possibly
should be going on
757
00:32:10,697 --> 00:32:11,798
with a competition.

759
00:32:14,268 --> 00:32:15,302

761
00:32:16,670 --> 00:32:18,138
- Give me the, um...
762
00:32:18,205 --> 00:32:21,008
- Mama, you wanna
set up your station?
763
00:32:22,442 --> 00:32:24,511
- I think it's cool 'cause like
I already know like...
764
00:32:24,578 --> 00:32:28,549
- So Bae did the consultation,
I did the design,
765
00:32:28,615 --> 00:32:30,184
Khylah is doing
the line work,
766
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:34,021
Disciple was supposed to do
the color work.
767
00:32:34,087 --> 00:32:36,990
I keep trying to get Disciple
to set up a station.
768
00:32:37,057 --> 00:32:38,625
She's over here
flirting with Swiss.
769
00:32:38,692 --> 00:32:41,828
What the hell was the point
of bringing her all this way?
770
00:32:41,895 --> 00:32:45,132
Shall I get the tattoo
as well?
771
00:32:45,199 --> 00:32:48,468
I guess I'm gonna have to do
the color work now too.
772
00:32:48,535 --> 00:32:49,736
She's useless.
773
00:32:49,803 --> 00:32:50,871
- You outta here?
774
00:32:50,938 --> 00:32:52,339

777
00:32:59,613 --> 00:33:02,182
I'll tattoo it.
778
00:33:02,249 --> 00:33:03,851
- (chuckles)
He said it--
779
00:33:03,917 --> 00:33:05,185
