with it and all that [bleep].

He said he didn't
want no parts in it.

we put 'em on a platform

"Nah, we're not
[bleep] with you.

she is not ready
to tattoo nobody.
46

from me too, right?

- Yeah.
52
00:02:12,241 --> 00:02:14,543
I know that Bae is super busy
53
00:02:14,543 --> 00:02:17,246
between being at Black Ink,
running her own business,
54
00:02:17,246 --> 00:02:19,315

taking care of Niko.

- This is the one
I'm most proud of.
60
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,529
That's my first time
trying color.
61
00:02:33,529 --> 00:02:35,431
- This is old-school
American style,
62
00:02:35,431 --> 00:02:37,700
so the outline
should have been thicker.
63
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:38,868
- Thicker, okay.
64
00:02:38,868 --> 00:02:40,169

the style--
65
00:02:40,169 --> 00:02:41,203
- The style of the traditional.
Yeah.

- No, I know so.
71
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:52,681
Tatti wants to be a legit tattoo
artist, not just a wack one.
72
00:02:52,681 --> 00:02:54,784
If Tatti is not gonna listen
to me and just keep
73
00:02:54,784 --> 00:02:57,520
tattooing on people, I'm just
gonna be honest at least
74
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,688
and tell her
what's wrong with her work
75
00:02:59,688 --> 00:03:00,923
so she could fix it.
76
00:03:00,923 --> 00:03:03,192
Tattooing is not just about
tattooing,
77
00:03:03,192 --> 00:03:04,727
you know, ink and needles-- no.
78
00:03:04,727 --> 00:03:07,163
It's about learning, like,
different types of skin--
79
00:03:07,163 --> 00:03:09,565
- Yeah, no, I definitely
felt the difference.
80
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:14,003
- To be honest,
you have to practice more...
81
00:03:14,003 --> 00:03:17,873
on the paper or, like,
a fake skin first before that.
82
00:03:17,873 --> 00:03:21,076

ready to tattoo on skin,

wasn't practicing [bleep].

to follow my lines.

'Cause as a tattoo artist,
that's what we have to do.

- Come on.
102

- Do the same thing, the
thickness and everything.
103
00:04:03,486 --> 00:04:05,454
You know, you have to
perfect your lines
104

before you touch
any real skin,
105
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:11,160

they actually ask for

00:06:39,908 --> 00:06:41,977
- I'm at this point now where
I'm just gonna figure it out.
175
00:06:41,977 --> 00:06:46,081
I'm trying to, you know,
take a few steps to...
176
00:06:46,081 --> 00:06:47,783
you know, to make that change.
177
00:06:47,783 --> 00:06:50,653
- Therapy is a great thing
because you're speaking to
178
00:06:50,653 --> 00:06:54,123
someone who doesn't know you
that doesn't have any judgement.
179
00:06:54,123 --> 00:06:56,158
- Yeah, I-- you know, I don't
see anything wrong with therapy,
180
00:06:56,158 --> 00:06:58,927
but, you know, I don't open up
like that to people.
181
00:06:58,927 --> 00:07:00,796
I feel like I wanna take stuff
that's gonna be more
182
00:07:00,796 --> 00:07:03,666
actionable, you know, someone
that's gonna help me succeed.
183
00:07:03,666 --> 00:07:06,135
'Cause right now I feel insecure
about where I'm going,
184
00:07:06,135 --> 00:07:07,736
what my path is.
185
00:07:07,736 --> 00:07:10,439
- Just because you're a mother
and a wife,
186
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,142
that shouldn't stop what
you wanna do, you know?
187
00:07:13,142 --> 00:07:15,644
When you were growing up,
I feel like you really didn't
188
00:07:15,644 --> 00:07:17,513
see the struggles
that I went through
189
00:07:17,513 --> 00:07:19,314
because I tried to protect
you from it.
190
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:20,616
And that might've been
my mistake,
191
00:07:20,616 --> 00:07:22,418
because I think,
had you seen it,
192
00:07:22,418 --> 00:07:25,688
then maybe you would've been
able to handle things better.
193
00:07:25,688 --> 00:07:27,489
- Growing up, I was, like,
a little princess.
194
00:07:27,489 --> 00:07:29,191
Like, I got
everything I wanted.
195
00:07:29,191 --> 00:07:30,559
- Right, you were sheltered.
196
00:07:30,559 --> 00:07:32,161
- You know, I never saw
a struggle, I never...
197
00:07:32,161 --> 00:07:33,629
- Right.
- ...went without.
198
00:07:33,629 --> 00:07:35,698
- I worry about you
all the time, Quani,
199
00:07:35,698 --> 00:07:38,534
and I'm getting these grays...
200
00:07:38,534 --> 00:07:40,202
but, I mean, I'm getting
more grays--
201
00:07:40,202 --> 00:07:43,205
but I'm getting more grays
because I'm always worrying
202
00:07:43,205 --> 00:07:46,942
and I'm always trying to
save you from things.
203
00:07:46,942 --> 00:07:50,412
But at this point, at your age,
I can't save you anymore.
204
00:07:50,412 --> 00:07:53,449
But I'm going to
be there like always.
205
00:07:53,449 --> 00:07:55,050
- I know, Mom.
206
00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:56,552
I don't like opening up
to people.
207
00:07:56,552 --> 00:07:58,020
Not something I like to do.
208
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:59,621
But I realize that
letting it out
209
00:07:59,621 --> 00:08:01,690
is something that
I actually need to do.
210
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:03,625
I'm gonna, you know,
take the steps,
211
00:08:03,625 --> 00:08:06,261
continue to make my mistakes,
do what I have to do...
212
00:08:06,261 --> 00:08:07,496
- Right.
213
00:08:07,496 --> 00:08:08,864
- ...you know,
take care of my family.
214
00:08:08,864 --> 00:08:11,266
I love my husband, but sometimes
talking to him
215
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:14,203
frustrates me even more
because he just does not get it.
216
00:08:14,203 --> 00:08:16,672
My mom, on the other hand,
totally understands.
217
00:08:16,672 --> 00:08:18,941
So thank you, Mommy,
for always understanding me.

going on in here?

- There's no clients
or anything.
238

There's a whole
dinner table here.

This is crazy.

Is this a mimosa?
256
00:09:36,518 --> 00:09:38,654
- Yeah, grab yourself
a mimosa too.

00:31:13,023 --> 00:31:16,893
but to be able to even
consider it feels so good.
846
00:31:16,893 --> 00:31:18,628
[Young Bae]
- How do they freeze your eggs?
847
00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:20,964
- Hmm?
- Is, like, it-- does it hurt?
848
00:31:20,964 --> 00:31:22,199
- I don't know.
Does it hurt?
849
00:31:22,199 --> 00:31:24,000
- It depends.
Usually, no.
850
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,369
- How do you do it?
How do you get your egg out?
851
00:31:26,369 --> 00:31:27,904
- It-- it's only done internal
852
00:31:27,904 --> 00:31:30,974
but you take hormone
injections first.
853
00:31:30,974 --> 00:31:34,144
- Taking the step to become
a mother is amazing.
854
00:31:34,144 --> 00:31:35,679
Tatti has come a long way,
855
00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:38,782
both in her personal life
and professional life.
856
00:31:38,782 --> 00:31:42,219
Being a mom was the greatest
thing that ever happened
857
00:31:42,219 --> 00:31:43,486
to me in my life.
858
00:31:43,486 --> 00:31:44,921
- Hi, guys.
- Doctor!
859
00:31:44,921 --> 00:31:45,989
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Hello.
860
00:31:45,989 --> 00:31:47,624
- Nice to meet you.
861
00:31:47,624 --> 00:31:49,860
- Why don't you come with me
and we'll-- we'll talk, okay?
862
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:50,894
- This is so exciting.
863
00:31:50,894 --> 00:31:52,529
This is my second time here.
864
00:31:52,529 --> 00:31:54,431
I have seen this doctor before
to get some bloodwork done.
865
00:31:54,431 --> 00:31:56,533
And I brought Bae today
because, not for nothing,
866
00:31:56,533 --> 00:31:58,735
she's a mom, so I feel like
she would be able to ask
867
00:31:58,735 --> 00:32:01,471
some questions that I may not
even know to ask
868
00:32:01,471 --> 00:32:04,207
and she's gonna
keep it real-real with me.
869
00:32:04,207 --> 00:32:07,010
- All right, so we're here
to talk about your life, huh?
870
00:32:07,010 --> 00:32:08,845
- Yes... yes.
871
00:32:08,845 --> 00:32:10,747
- The fact that you're having
this conversation
872
00:32:10,747 --> 00:32:13,450
reflects your recognition
that age matters
873
00:32:13,450 --> 00:32:15,018
when it comes to fertility.
874
00:32:15,018 --> 00:32:17,854
You're 33, you're young, so most
of your eggs are healthy.
875
00:32:17,854 --> 00:32:20,023
Your egg quality we basically
know is good.
876
00:32:20,023 --> 00:32:21,224
- Okay.
877
00:32:21,224 --> 00:32:22,692
- And the other aspect--
quantity--
878
00:32:22,692 --> 00:32:25,195
that's what can vary
from one person to the next.
879
00:32:25,195 --> 00:32:27,530
- So what level am I at
for quantity?
880
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:29,733
- So it's lower than average.
- [Young Bae gasping]
881
00:32:29,733 --> 00:32:31,501
- But that doesn't mean
anything terrible.
882
00:32:31,501 --> 00:32:32,702
It just means that,
you know--
883
00:32:32,702 --> 00:32:33,970
- I've gotta freeze
these eggs now.
884
00:32:33,970 --> 00:32:35,005
- Now!
- Maybe.
885
00:32:35,005 --> 00:32:36,239
- Right now.
886
00:32:36,239 --> 00:32:38,708
I can't say I'm not
disappointed,
887
00:32:38,708 --> 00:32:41,645
but, I mean, ultimately,
this is the reason why I'm here,
888
00:32:41,645 --> 00:32:43,546
because now that I have
this information,
889
00:32:43,546 --> 00:32:46,549
I can take the next steps
and start planning my future.
890
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:51,054
- Egg freezing is not perfect.
891
00:32:51,054 --> 00:32:54,591
So for each egg, there's only
a five to 10% chance
892
00:32:54,591 --> 00:32:55,959
on average that it works.
893
00:32:55,959 --> 00:32:57,560
Yeah.
894
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,096
We try to get as many eggs as
possible to grow at once.
895
00:33:00,096 --> 00:33:01,531
- Okay.
896
00:33:01,531 --> 00:33:03,199
- We have you start these
hormone injections.
897
00:33:03,199 --> 00:33:04,668
[Young Bae]
- Oh...
898
00:33:04,668 --> 00:33:06,736
- It's not the most fun
two weeks of a woman's life.
899
00:33:06,736 --> 00:33:09,472
I will definitely wanna sort of
say that clearly.
900
00:33:09,472 --> 00:33:11,141
One of the potential
side effects
901
00:33:11,141 --> 00:33:12,642
is mood side effects, right?
902
00:33:12,642 --> 00:33:14,778
Just like some women get
moody with their periods--
903
00:33:14,778 --> 00:33:16,513
- I don't wanna
be around you.
904
00:33:16,513 --> 00:33:17,747
- I'm gonna have to come
with a warning.
905
00:33:17,747 --> 00:33:19,149
- You-- I'm gonna have
to lock her up.
906
00:33:19,149 --> 00:33:20,617
- You have to be
the support person.
907
00:33:20,617 --> 00:33:22,619
- Yeah, no, right?
She's ditching me now already.
908
00:33:22,619 --> 00:33:25,021
- I think Tatti would be
an amazing mother.
909
00:33:25,021 --> 00:33:27,324
I mean, she's already more chill
than, you know,
910
00:33:27,324 --> 00:33:28,658
how she used to be.
911
00:33:28,658 --> 00:33:30,293
[woman]
- Do not let the white woman
912
00:33:30,293 --> 00:33:31,494
hold the whip!
913
00:33:31,494 --> 00:33:33,196
- Shut the [bleep] up!
914
00:33:33,196 --> 00:33:34,698
[women shouting]
915
00:33:34,698 --> 00:33:35,966
What?!
916
00:33:35,966 --> 00:33:37,667
[Young Bae]
- And Tatti knows I'm a very
917
00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:40,503
honest person, so when she,
you know, started acting like
918
00:33:40,503 --> 00:33:42,973
a [bleep] monster with this
hormone injection,
919
00:33:42,973 --> 00:33:44,341
you know, I'll be the one
to tell her,
920
00:33:44,341 --> 00:33:47,811
"Bitch...
calm the [bleep] down."
921
00:33:47,811 --> 00:33:49,312
How do you get it?
922
00:33:49,312 --> 00:33:51,781
- The way we get them out
is with a very minor procedure.
923
00:33:51,781 --> 00:33:53,950
There's an anesthesia doctor
that puts an IV in your arm
924
00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:56,519
and they give you medicine
to make you fall asleep.
925
00:33:56,519 --> 00:33:58,388
You're looking at me
very suspiciously.
926
00:33:58,388 --> 00:34:00,223
We pass a needle
transvaginally
927
00:34:00,223 --> 00:34:03,326
through the vaginal skin to poke
right into the ovary--
928
00:34:03,326 --> 00:34:05,628
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait...
929
00:34:05,628 --> 00:34:07,197
Wait, you're gonna
go from outside?
930
00:34:07,197 --> 00:34:09,566
- So, through the vaginal
area while you're sleeping.
931
00:34:09,566 --> 00:34:11,601
- So from-- like--
like that?
932
00:34:11,601 --> 00:34:13,103
- You've got it.
- Wow.
933
00:34:13,103 --> 00:34:14,471
- That.
934
00:34:14,471 --> 00:34:16,239
- Sorry, Doc,
I wasn't ready for all that,
935
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,843
but Bae will definitely not
be joining me for the procedure.
936
00:34:19,843 --> 00:34:22,112
- Having those eggs frozen gives
people the peace of mind--
937
00:34:22,112 --> 00:34:24,814
even if they never use them,
it lets them live their life
938
00:34:24,814 --> 00:34:27,217
in a slightly more
relaxed way that they know
939
00:34:27,217 --> 00:34:29,652
they have this backup plan
in case they get to a point
940
00:34:29,652 --> 00:34:32,589
where they're wanting to have
a kid and it's not easy.
941
00:34:32,589 --> 00:34:34,691
- I definitely
agree with the doctor.
942
00:34:34,691 --> 00:34:37,227
It's really important to take
control of your future.
943
00:34:37,227 --> 00:34:38,628
And who knows?
944
00:34:38,628 --> 00:34:40,897
Maybe I won't even need to
use a frozen egg,
945
00:34:40,897 --> 00:34:42,465
but at least
I'll have the choice
946
00:34:42,465 --> 00:34:43,900
and the decision
will me mine.
947
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:47,537
My brain is like,
"Oh, my God, what do I need..."
948
00:34:47,537 --> 00:34:49,105
- It's a lot-- it's a lot
to think about.
949
00:34:49,105 --> 00:34:51,674
- No, I feel like I need to get
started, like, right now.
950
00:34:51,674 --> 00:34:57,280
This past year has been one of
the most... challenging years--
951
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,615
getting through my
legal issues,
952
00:34:58,615 --> 00:35:00,750
making the decision
to become an apprentice.
953
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:04,087
But I feel super empowered
just to have, like, options.
954
00:35:04,087 --> 00:35:06,322
There ain't no way that
I didn't go through
955
00:35:06,322 --> 00:35:09,726
everything that I went through
and I'm not coming out stronger.
956
00:35:09,726 --> 00:35:12,929
- So think it over,
and you know where to find us.
957
00:35:12,929 --> 00:35:15,098
- This is the head
of the penis, right?
958
00:35:15,098 --> 00:35:17,600
So it's like a tongue ring
that goes, like, right there.
959
00:35:18,802 --> 00:35:20,603
- What?
- It's like a pleasure thing.
960
00:35:20,603 --> 00:35:22,205
- Do you know what a penis
feels like?
961
00:35:22,205 --> 00:35:25,508
- Inside.

969
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:41,591
a Jacob's Ladder piercing,
Bae?
970
00:35:41,591 --> 00:35:42,892
[Young Bae]
- What's that?
971
00:35:42,892 --> 00:35:44,694
- This is the head
of the penis, right?
972
00:35:44,694 --> 00:35:47,330

that goes, like, right there.

- What?
974
00:35:50,066 --> 00:35:51,601
- Why would you want
that, though, like...
975
00:35:51,601 --> 00:35:53,336
- What do you mean?
It's like a pleasure thing.
976
00:35:53,336 --> 00:35:55,538
- A pleasure for who?
- For me.
977
00:35:55,538 --> 00:35:56,906
- You don't know the trouble
we go through.
978
00:35:56,906 --> 00:35:58,708
It's a lot of--
it's a lot to deal with.
979
00:35:58,708 --> 00:36:00,777
- The only real problem
that you guys have,
980
00:36:00,777 --> 00:36:03,146
from my perspective, would be,
like, if it's small.
981
00:36:03,146 --> 00:36:04,647
- Ha!
982
00:36:04,647 --> 00:36:06,649
- Do you know what it feels
like to have a penis?
983
00:36:06,649 --> 00:36:08,084
Do you know what a penis
feels like?
984
00:36:08,084 --> 00:36:10,954
- Inside.
- [all laughing]
985
00:36:10,954 --> 00:36:12,555
- You have to be a man
to understand.
986
00:36:12,555 --> 00:36:14,557
- Listen, if you know that
a man and a woman
987
00:36:14,557 --> 00:36:17,427
are exactly the same
up until one point,
988
00:36:17,427 --> 00:36:20,096
when the penis
either gets tucked in
989
00:36:20,096 --> 00:36:21,297
or it gets tucked out.
990
00:36:21,297 --> 00:36:22,732
- What about the nuts?
991
00:36:22,732 --> 00:36:24,134
- Aren't those, like,
your ovaries?
992
00:36:24,134 --> 00:36:26,002
- Oh!
993
00:36:26,002 --> 00:36:28,138
- Now that's crazy.
994
00:36:28,138 --> 00:36:32,108
- And that completes today's
anatomy lesson.
995
00:36:33,610 --> 00:36:35,145
[Spyder]
- Shut up-- oh, [bleep].
996
00:36:35,145 --> 00:36:37,347
- [bleeps].
997
00:36:37,347 --> 00:36:38,915
- So how are you guys
doing today?
998
00:36:38,915 --> 00:36:41,151
- We're talking about how
the penis
999
00:36:41,151 --> 00:36:43,820
is the vagina tucked out.
1000
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:45,321
- What?
1001
00:36:45,321 --> 00:36:47,524
You know what...
that's a time-out.
1002
00:36:47,524 --> 00:36:48,558
Why does it look
so light in here?
1003
00:36:48,558 --> 00:36:50,026
[Tatti]
- So light?
1004
00:36:50,026 --> 00:36:52,095
'Cause I need a vacation
and I haven't gotten a tan.
1005

[bleep], Ceaser.
1006
00:36:53,229 --> 00:36:55,098
- No, no.
Who's, like--
1007
00:36:55,098 --> 00:36:57,767
- Like, less employees?
- Yeah, who's missing?
1008
00:36:57,767 --> 00:36:58,902
- Oh...
1009
00:36:58,902 --> 00:37:00,303
I don't know.
1010
00:37:00,303 --> 00:37:02,939
Maybe it's the two who
just opened up a new shop.
1011
00:37:02,939 --> 00:37:04,874
- I don't know, boss,
but I think that this may be
1012
00:37:04,874 --> 00:37:07,844
the first time someone has
