Last week Ceaser and his crew of misfit tattoo artists and couch sitter in Teddy’s case shared some ratchet nuggets. This week KP and his team from Black Ink Crew: Compton are up next.
Following the same formula, Black Ink Crew: Compton’s cast sat down with host Marc Lamont Hill for the reunion special. In the building were Lemeir, Vudu Dahl, Tim, and Barbie, who all showed up on time, unlike the Ceaser’s tattoo artists.
