I have to admit that VH1′s newest series, BLACK INK CREW is one of my new reality TV guilty pleasures. It follows the staff of a black-owned and operated tattoo shop based in Harlem and definitely has a cast of eclectic characters.
While lighthearted, the series covers some ongoing issues that happens to 20 somethings trying to make it in a big city. It premiered in early January, but you can catch up on some of the episodes online. Below is a clip from an upcoming episode.




















I like the series as well. It actually comes across as ‘unscripted’ due to the realness of the cast.
I love this show to! Just wish they would also discuss the artistic or technical differences (if there are any) in tattooing mainly Black clientele. So far I have not been wowed by any of the tattoos.
Show sucks!
Love those dreads!
This show is the worst thing to happen to black people since slavery
great show
Love this show!
ughyt
sassy is gorg as is dutchess….but i don’t like her attitude.
Ah I think she’s just a pumper , no talent just a hot hole cum dumpster
Alex is a HOT MESS!!! She claiming that someone put a “ruthie” in her drink, smdh. She needs to own up can to her shit because everybody, I mean everybody can see straight through it. She tried to come up with a lie becae use she straight played herself on tv. She should have looked up the information on “ruthies” before she used That lie.
alex is the hottest thing on tv right stop hating .as fine as she is i would love to see right through her. what magazine. did she pose for i want it.
I must be one bored mf to be watching even the little parts of the show I do watch, the guy oshit, is one weak as tattooer, he did some weak ass rose on the wrist of a lady in Vegas, then they show him do a weak ass supposed Gypsy woman with the eyes looking all crooked and shit. I don’t know how long this shop has been opened for but with fugazi ass artist, and a crew with no team work, they’ll be out of business soon. They were in Vegas and the owner asked the guy with dreads to get a image printed to be tattooed, then doens’t even get it, and doesn’t answer his phone and he says and I qoute “that ain’t my job” at the end of the night, It’s called teamwork for the dumbasses that work there.
What kind of rinky dink operation/employees does the Ceaser guy try and have/keep as his Black Ink Crew.
this chic is HORRIBLE looking son.
U have to be the dumbest person on the internet. Obviously u don’t like pretty girls.Sassy looks better than the other 2. If u r a man u must b gay and like manly Dutch. If u r that’s fine but Sassy is the prettiest and has a great personality. If Ceasar chooses her she is gonna be worse than his baby momma. It has to be hell dealing with her after the relationship isn’t new anymore.
Go Sassy go.I like your style. U r so clean cut. U should be stylist or designer. They aren’t giving u your credit. Ceasar u slept on that one.
I think she need to keep making that money.stay single until the right man come into that life. And don’t worry about the people at black ink. They like the lady anyway so the hell with them.
I think puma I cool ass hell he love his lady and baby.
I think he do great tats, and a good farther
I like sassy she she is all about love and no war. And I love the look do u boo
Sassy do ur thing, think u the best 1 out of the group. Ur styl ur look u bring the ink some flavor
He has much drama in the shop. Lets see some tats
where the fuck is TEDDY RUKS!!!!!!
Teddy, out buying him some clothes that fit him
Duchess acts just like a insecure little gurl. Just like Alex told her on the last episode.
She really needs to get over herself, because she is not by any means all that. For her to be as smart and educated as she claims to be, she says some ignorant mess. Somebody please tell this boot mouth heifer that she can’t make no man marry her.
Get a haircut puma you look a mess I almost did not want to watch the show when I saw you. I was about to judge you on the way you look thinkin this is going to be a show about crackheads doing tats . LOL
Dutchess the Diva… Love, Love, Dutchess.
Ceaser is the boss that needs a boss. Pay that child support man all in Vegas turning up and child support aint even paid. Man you losing.
What is it that Sassy do, Its just too many people in that shop thats not doing tats what are they there for?? Sassy loves to call girls Mixes but I be like are you a mixy girl? Looks like it.
Agreed, SoFaReal, agreed. Anyone who’d marry Dutchess would be in for a life time of misery. ===my $.02
Dutchess is the shit, I like the way she is outspoken, she knows what she want and how she want it!!! Can’t be mad at that cuz it’s a lot of woman out there with men for years and they want tell their man what they really want they know they want to be the (wife) so y be mad cuz she can say it and you can’t sad!! Get it girl I’m not mad at you
She need to get her life!! Cuz the way she put herself out there on tv made her look real shit face!!! If you about that money then be about it stop talking about it! And stop fucking everybody that gets you know where!
Get it girl you got it!!!
Just get your shop together and all will go into place real life!!!
Who would lay down with this dude and have a baby! His mouth is YUCK! Matter of fact, most everyone in the shop need their teeth fix ASAP! Except Walt. Teddy whats his job again? Assistant Manager? For what when there is only three people who do tats. Teddy need to be fitted for some clothes that fit him. tight @zz shirts.
