Then the woman got into how Naeem spends too much time with his friends, and how she didn’t like Donna, one of Naeem’s friends. She was upset, because she wanted Naeem to spend more time with their daughter.

Upping our cookie game just in time for the holiday weekend! You'll see fireworks when you take a bite. Phoenix decided to take baby steps with her. She said that she was in her 20’s when she was addicted but was now she is 52. His mother ended up crying and nearly begging her son to accept her in his life again. He would get excited, and then she would disappear again. Apparently she would pop up in his life when he was a child. Phoenix felt that there was nothing that his mother could say to make him understand why she chose drugs over her family. Phoenix and his mother sat down to talk at the Chipped Cup. Teddy figured that if Ceaser kept getting engaged, he wouldn’t have to get married. He went in for the kill, just by getting her number.Ĭeasar proposed to Dutchess again in her shop, and he presented her with another ring. Everything came together and the shop was well put together, so it was proud evening for Dutchess.Īt the Grand Opening Ted was attracted to Shawna, Dutchess’ young tattoo artist. Dutchess stepped out of a Rolls Royce to make her grand entrance for her Grand Opening of Pretty in Ink. It turns out that Dutchess and Ceaser were cleaning Black Ink up, and Donna’s tattoo equipment was thrown out (because it looked like something that someone didn’t need?) Anyway, Donna made up her mind to go up to North Carolina, anyway and show off her portfolio to Dutchess, although she thought that Dutchess was evil.Ĭeaser showed up at the grand opening late, but he came with a dog for Dutchess, which made Dutchess happy, but she was still angry that he was late in the first place. Then she noticed that Ceaser was missing.īack in Harlem, Naeem brought some tattoo equipment to Donna’s place. She decided that her staff would work around the clock. He did agree to meet with her to have a conversation, however.ĭutchess decided that no one was going to sleep, because it was crunch time, and she needed to get her shop finished by the next morning. He had been in the shelter system as a young man, because of her addictions.

Phoenix on the other hand, was not ready to have a relationship with his mother. His mother was a drug addict, too, and he allowed his mother back into his life for the sake of his daughter. Puma had the same situation happen to him. Apparently she was a drug addict in the past, so she was in and out of Phoenix’s life. They chatted about Dutchess’ shop and how they didn’t know anything about it, because whenever they asked about the shop, Dutchess was secretive.Īt Art2Ink Phoenix’s mother showed up, and he hadn’t seen her in years. They all came up for Dutchess’ Grand Opening. Sky, OS***, Walt, Tedd and Melody went out to eat at Mac’s Speed Shop, a barbecue restaurant in North Carolina. Dutchess had a fit, because it was a day before the opening and the place was clearly unfinished. The next day in Dutchess’ shop, her staff members were relaxing and not doing any of the things that she needed them to do. Sky mentioned that Dutchess was having a grand opening in North Carolina, and Donna got it in her head to go to Pretty in Ink to show Dutchess her portfolio (with the thought that Dutchess would beg her to work in her shop). She at least wanted Dutchess to see that she had been working hard. It seems that Donna wanted some validation from Dutchess that she had improved.

Sky accepted the drink, and Donna’s friendship, and Donna chatted with Sky, telling her that she really wanted to show Dutchess her portfolio. During her first staff meeting, Dutchess tried to motivated her staff to work quickly, because her grand opening was soon.ĭonna had the nerve to come to Sky’s place not with money, but with Sky’s favorite drink. BeBe, Dutchess’s best friend was helping in the shop, too. Dutchess thought of Shawna as a younger sister. Shawna was a younger artist who Dutchess felt would grow into the industry. First there was Angel, a well-experienced tattoo artist. In There was plenty of work to do for the Dutchess of Charlotte in her Pretty In Ink tattoo shop.ĭutchess introduced her new employees.

Dutchess arrived in North Carolina in the Black Ink Crew episode that aired at 9 p.m.
