Black Ink Crew follows the daily happenings and associated drama at a Harlem tattoo empire, where a tight yet dysfunctional staff of artists serve a growing celebrity clientele. The shop is a magnet for hip-hop stars as well as pro athletes, video vixens and a who's who of urban elite.

Utilizing studio photography in a stylized way, combined with iconic imagery of New York and specifically Harlem where the shop is located, this season we are showcasing the unique personalities of the show, as well as the setting of the show: the neighborhood this crew is ruling.
