The cast from Black Ink Crew Chicago, a reality TV show about people in the tattoo industry,went on a trip to Jamaica. We've seen other reality TV shows like the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, and the Bachelor with episodes in Jamaica. Here's the drama that unfolded on the Black Ink Crew on August 8th and Aug.15th. The show airs on VH1.
Phor Lost His Performance
The big news was Phor's lost of his chance to perform his rap act in Jamaica. So, the trip was basically a waste of time for him. To the rest of the crew, the trip was a mini vacation,an opportunity to turn up in Jamaica. Phor was livid and blamed everyone for his missed opportunity. He decided to return to California instead of going home to Chicago at the end of the Jamaica trip. Nikki tried to cheer him up in a bonus clip for the show, though.
In Real Life: Apparently Phor did perform in Jamaica at some point. He was a performer for the Fiesta in Ecstasy show in Jamaica on May 26, 2018.
The Street Party Turned into a Street Fight
A planned street party quickly turned into a huge brawl when 9 Mag (Ryan's tattoo crew) were within eye-shot of Loyal Ink the Loyal Ink crew (a new shop opened by his former friends). It was a big mess.Junior, from 9 Mag, was extremely drunk and out of control. On the show he was accused of punching Reese, from Loyal Ink, in the face. He also punched Ryan (who hired him to work in the 9 Mag shop) and he fought with the show's security staff. Junior and his girlfriend were sent home early, because the producers felt that he was too violent.
Jenn Popped Up on Van
Although they had already called it quits Jenn showed up out of the blue all the way from Chicago while Van, a Loyal Ink Tattoo Artist was living his best life in the pool at a villa in Jamaica. Reese was topless and on his shoulders. She tried to cover herself and hopped off quick when she saw Jenn coming like an angry bull. I thought that Jenn was going to kill poor little Reese, but thankfully Jenn chased Van down, instead of going after his co-workers. Surprisingly, Van and Jenn talked over their differences and decided to get back together, which was a big shocker.
Ashley and Don Were Coupled Up
Don, a Loyal Ink Tattoo Artist and his wife Ashley had a spat in Jamaica, but then Don took Ashley off by themselves to a small beach. They played in the water together and their relationship seemed to be mending. They had been estranged and had recently separated. Hold on, though! Ashley wasn't about to forget that Don cheated on her and the other woman might be pregnant with Don's baby, so although she was flattered by the attention, she hadn't fully forgiven him. Try even harder, bruh!
Ryan Has a Talk With Loyal Ink
In an effort to clear the air between the two tattoo shop crews, Ryan agreed to have a meeting with the group from the Loyal Ink shop. Ryan was still thinking that Charmaine had purposely tried to bad-mouth him to the media about allegedly shooting up the 9 Mag building, and the Loyal Ink Group felt that Ryan had abandoned them with a busted up shop (and nowhere to work). The Loyal Ink shop owners wanted an apology, since they had to use their own devices to open their own shop, but Ryan wasn't going to give one. Nothing was settled, but no fists were thrown either.
