>> WAIT, HOLD ON.
>> OKAY?
>> YOU WANT BULLS,
SO I'M GETTING BULLS.
>> IT DOESN'T [bleep] MATTER.
>> BLACK INK IS CURRENTLY
IN A WHIRLWIND.
>> TATTOOS IS NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE
A FULL-TIME DAD.
HONESTLY, THIS [bleep] IS NOT
GONNA WORK OUT FOR RIGHT NOW.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THE HELL
CEASER FIRED [bleep].
>> WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH ME AND TEDDY?
THE UNIVERSE SEEMS TO PUT US
RIGHT TOGETHER.
>> WHY YOU BLUSHING?
>> I'M NOT BLUSHING,
I'M SMILING.
>> CEASE IS THE TYPE OF MAN
YOU CAN ADMIRE FROM A DISTANCE,
BUT HE'S NOT SOMETHING THAT
I WOULD WANT TO TAKE HOME.
>> DID YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT
THE FASHION SHOW?
>> PUMA PRESENTED THE LADIES OF
BLACK INK WITH A OPPORTUNITY
TO COME AND WALK IN HIS FRIEND'S
FASHION SHOW.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU GUYS.
>> CHILL OUT.
>> IT'S A CELEBRATION
RIGHT NOW.
>> HE WANTS TO SHOW UP
TO A PARTY KNOWING
I MIGHT WHUP HIS ASS.
>> THAT'S NOT--NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO, IT'S NOT GONNA END--

>> DOES DUTCHESS HAVE
APPOINTMENTS TODAY?
>> THERE'S NO APPOINTMENTS.
NO ONE BOOKED ANYTHING.
>> OH, NOPE, GUESS NOT.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS GOIN' ON?
>> CEASER, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE
LOSING CONTROL, MY GOOD FRIEND.
>> [laughs]
RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE
BLACK INK IS, LIKE, LOOKING A
LITTLE REAL [bleep] RIGHT NOW.
>> THIS [bleep] IS GETTING
RIDICULOUS.
>> YOU ARE LOSING CONTROL.
>> [laughs]
>> CEASER REALLY NEEDS TO GET
HIS [bleep] TOGETHER AND START
RUNNING THIS LIKE A REAL
BUSINESS.
>> I DON'T KNOW FIND THIS
HILARIOUS AT ALL.
>> UH, LOOK, YOU GOT A CLIENT
COMING IN RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT UP?
>> WHAT'S GOING ON, BRO?
>> HINO.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL--
>> HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A MINUTE,
MAN.
>> WORD, IN A MINUTE.
>> HOLLYWOOD HINO IS A BIG
CLIENT.
JAY-Z BACKED HIM WHEN HE WAS
BOXING, AND HE TRAINED
CELEBRITIES LIKE
CARMELO ANTHONY, KELLY ROLAND,
MARK CONSUELOS, ET CETERA.
>> YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC DESIGN,
OR YOU JUST WANT TO--
>> NAH, I DON'T, BUT I WAS
THINKING, LIKE, AFRICAN TRIBAL.
>> WHAT TRIBE?
>> LIKE, WHERE I'M FROM,
WEST AFRICA.
>> THAT'S FIRE.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT NOTHING
LIKE THAT.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
OFFICIAL.
>> I LOVE DOING TATTOOS
LIKE THAT, SOMETHING THAT HAS
MEANING TO IT.
I LIKE IT MORE THAN JUST DOING
A [bleep] MICKEY MOUSE TATTOO
THAT SOME GIRL THINK IS CUTE.
FOR THE WARRIOR, THE LION,
EVERYTHING THAT EMBRACES AFRICA.
>> THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
>> IT TAKES ME AWAY
FROM THE BULL[bleep] WHEN I DO
ART LIKE THIS.
I CAN HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
READY FOR YOU, LET'S SAY,
TOMORROW.
>> WHO'S THIS O'[bleep] KID
I KEEP HEARING ABOUT?
>> UM...
WHEN HE ASKED FOR O'[bleep],
AH, MAN, FELT LIKE SOMEONE
PUNCHED ME IN MY STOMACH.
>> I HEARD THE KID IS A BEAST.
>> HE'S A'IGHT.
NAH, HE AIN'T HERE NO MORE.
>> [bleep] GETTING FIRED IS
DEFINITELY HAVING ITS EFFECT
ON THE SHOP.
HE HAS A LOT OF CUSTOMERS THAT
COMING IN AND ASKING FOR HIM AND
BEING THAT HE'S NOT THERE
ANYMORE, THEY'RE, LIKE, TURNING
AWAY AND GOING ELSEWHERE.
ALL RIGHT, AND IF ANYTHING,
YOU CAN JUST CALL US AND LET US
KNOW, LIKE, WHAT'S A GOOD TIME
FOR YOU TO COME IN.
>> PEACE, PEACE.
>> WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF
MAKING MONEY, SO WATCHING MONEY
WALK OUT OF THE DOOR,
I KNOW CEASER'S NOT REALLY HAPPY
ABOUT THAT.
>> IF WE GOT ONE MORE PERSON
THAT COMES IN HERE ASKING FOR
THAT GENTLEMAN, ALL I KNOW IS
MAYBE THEY NEED TO TALK.
>> PUMA'S JUST NOT GONNA LET
THAT REST.
>> I'M NOT THE ONE THAT'S GONNA
LET--I'M SAYING THE PEOPLE
AIN'T GONNA LET IT REST.
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEBODY JUST,
LIKE, LET HIM GO FOR NO REASON.
[bleep] HAS BEEN HAVING IT
COMING.
IT'S JUST BEEN ONE THING AFTER
ANOTHER WITH [bleep], AND IT'S
LIKE, HOW MANY WARNINGS
CAN YOU HAVE?
HOPEFULLY, LIKE, THIS IS, LIKE,
A WAKE-UP CALL FOR HIM AND
HE REALLY KNOW, LIKE, YOU GOT TO
GET YOURSELF TOGETHER.
>> MAYBE THEY NEED TO TALK.
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
>> I'VE BEEN WORKING PART-TIME
AT BLACK INK, BUT IT'S JUST NOT
CUTTING IT RIGHT NOW.
MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP, AND I'M
GETTING OLDER, SO HERE I AM
OUT ON A JOB HUNT.
I'M HEADING OVER TO MEET WITH
MAMA SASS AND DUTCHESS TO GET
ADVICE ON THIS CHAPTER
OF MY LIFE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
BON APPETIT.
>> I WONDER HOW SASSY GONNA LIKE
WORKING IN A CORPORATE
ENVIRONMENT.
>> SHE'S NOT GONNA LIKE IT.
>> I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.
>> SHE'S DEFINITELY
A LOOSE CANNON.
[laughs]
>> YEAH, YEAH.
[laughs]
MAMA SASS, SHE'S JUST A REAL
DOPE LADY, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING?
SASSY IS SO MUCH LIKE
HER MOTHER.
SHE'S JUST A YOUNG, VIBRANT,
FREE VERSION OF HER.
>> SASSY.

>> SO HOW DID THE INTERVIEW GO?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> YOU SEE MY HAIR.
>> I'M LIKE--
>> YOU SEE MY HAIR.
>> YOU KNOW, ME AND YOUR MOM
WAS TALKING--
>> I'M ONLY 22.
IT'S LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF I
WANT CORPORATE SASSY THAT'S SO
RESPONSIBLE OR IF I WANT, LIKE,
BLACK INK SASSY THAT'S, LIKE,
SUPER AWESOME AND WILD AND
CRAZY.
IT'S LIKE 50% OF ME IS, LIKE--
LOVES BEING AT THE SHOP
AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN.
>> COURSE.
>> BUT I'M NOT GETTING PAID.
I'M TRYING TO GET AN APARTMENT.
I GOT THINGS THAT I GOT TO DO.
I GOT BILLS THAT HAVE TO GET
PAID, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M
SAYING, LIKE--
I NEED SOME TYPE OF, LIKE--
>> SECURITY.
>> RIGHT.
LIKE, IT'S NOT THAT I CHANGED.
I'M SASSY, AND MY HAIR WILL
STILL GO UP IN A MOHAWK IF IT
NEED TO GO UP IN A MOHAWK.
BUT RIGHT NOW, IT NEED TO LAY
DOWN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
>> NOW I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DOING
THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO INSTEAD
OF BECAUSE YOU WANT TO.
>> I MEAN, WELL, IT WOULD BE
DIFFERENT IF CEASE WAS ABLE
TO PAY ME.
MAYBE I WOULD LIKE HAVING A JOB
AT BLACK INK IF IT WAS, LIKE,
A REAL JOB.
>> WELL, SEE, THIS IS ANOTHER
THING TOO, I'LL SAY IT.
RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY IS GOING
THROUGH THEIR [bleep].
>> PERSONAL--YEAH.
>> BETWEEN ALL THE DRAMA AT
BLACK INK AND SASSY NOT MAKING
ANY MONEY,
I CAN SEE WHY SHE'S
LOOKING FOR A MORE STABLE JOB.
>> THE WHOLE SHOP IS BEING
AFFECTED BY EVERYBODY'S PERSONAL
OR LIKE--
>> FOR EXAMPLE, [bleep].
CEASE FIRED HIM.
>> IN FRONT OF HIS DAUGHTER.
>> HIS DAUGHTER WAS THERE,
LIKE, 'KAY, THEY, LIKE,
KICKED THEM OUT.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE
A LOGICAL SCHEDULE.
>> RIGHT.
>> COME TO WORK
WHEN THEY WANT TO.
>> OH.
>> AND LEAVE WHEN THEY WANT TO.
>> OH.
>> CEASE HASN'T BEEN A BOSS
THAT LONG.
HE'S NEW TO BEING A BUSINESS
OWNER.
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE CEASER
HAS HIS [bleep] TOGETHER,
AND THEN THERE'S OTHER DAYS
WHERE HE DOESN'T.
>> AND IT'S OUT OF CONTROL.
>> IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL. OKAY.
Y'ALL NEED, LIKE, A SUPER
NANNY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> [laughs]
>> I'M GONNA TELL YOU THIS,
LADIES, FROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE.
LET THAT SHOP DRAMA
BE SHOP DRAMA.
>> RIGHT.
>> IF YOU WANT TO GO AND TALK TO
CEASE AND FIND OUT WHAT'S REALLY
GOING ON WITH YOUR POSITION,
MAYBE SIT DOWN AND HAVE A
100% HEART-TO-HEART.
BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER
YOU DO SOMETHING
THAT YOU LOVE IN REVERSE TO
DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO.
>> SO MUCH STUFF--OH, MY GOD--IS
GOING THROUGH MY HEAD RIGHT NOW.
I CAN'T EVEN THINK.
>> OH, WE GOT SOME CUSTOMERS.
LADIES, HOW ARE YOU?
>> HEY.
>> HOW'S EVERYTHING?
YOU WANT TO GET TATTED?

>> OH, SO--
>> WHAT IS THE SENTENCE?
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
>> Y'ALL DANCE?
WHAT KIND OF DANCE?
>> YOU GUYS DANCE
WITH ALVIN AILEY?
OH, MY GOD, THAT'S AMAZING.
>> WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
>> ALVIN AILEY?
D--UGH.
YOU NEVER HEARD OF ALVIN AILEY?
THE MOST FAMOUS DANCE COMPANY IN
THE WORLD.
THEY TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD.
>> SO IT'S LIKE THE HARVARD
OF DANCE COMPANIES?
HOW LONG Y'ALL BEEN GOING THERE?
AND THEN Y'ALL GO BACK?
>> WHY NOT?
STAY HERE.
>> IT'S FUN.
>> I HAD TO CALL CEASER OVER
SO HE COULD GET THE VIEW
FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING.
OOH.
>> OKAY, COOL.
SO, UM, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GET DONE?
[sighs]
>> WAIT, HOLD ON, HOLD ON,
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
LET ME SEE IT.
SO YOU GON' GET IT ON THE ARCH
OF YOUR FOOT, LIKE, RIGHT HERE?
>> JUST--
>> UH-HUH, LIKE, LIKE, RIGHT
HERE, LIKE THIS?
>> I CAN'T, I CAN'T, I CAN'T--
>> [laughs]
>> LIFT IT UP.
YOU CAN KEEP GOING.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> YOU HOLD YOUR OWN LEG.
HOLD YOUR OWN LEG.
I'M GOING OVER HERE.
YOU HOLD YOUR OWN LEG.
>> WHEN DO YOU WANT THE TATTOO?
WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME TO TATTOO
THESE GIRLS TODAY, BUT THEY GOT
TO GO DANCE.
WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
>> OKAY.
>> ALL RIGHT?
>> OKAY.
THANK YOU.
>> BYE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> BYE-BYE.
>> I'M GETTING EVICTED FROM MY
APARTMENT.
>> YOU BE GOING THROUGH IT.
>> LOSING MY JOB AT BLACK INK,
IT JUST STARTED A DOMINO EFFECT.
>> WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING HERE?
>> LET ME BACK TO WORK.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS UP WITH
ALEX?
>> I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU
WHERE SHE WAS.
>> I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER.
>> ALEX SAYS SHE'LL SEE US
AT THE FASHION SHOW.
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU TELL
SOMEBODY THAT IF YOU AIN'T HAVE
THOSE INTENTIONS?
>> I'M HUNGRY.
>> I'M STARVING.
YOU KNOW I LIKE DOING HOODRAT.
>> EATING CHICKEN IN THE HOOD.
>> THINGS ARE PRETTY ROUGH RIGHT
NOW, SO ME AND PUMA ARE GONNA GO
GRAB A BITE TO EAT.
>> THIS TASTES LIKE PIZZA
AND CHICKEN.
>> MM-HMM.
>> ALL AT THE SAME [bleep] TIME.
>> HEAVEN.
HE'S THE ONE TRUE FRIEND
I REALLY, REALLY HAVE HERE.
SO I DEFINITELY ALWAYS TURN TO
PUMA WHEN I HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE
THIS.
>> CONNIE WENT AWAY FOR A
LITTLE BIT, SO I'M SUPPOSED TO
BE BEHAVING MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
>> OR MISBEHAVING YOURSELF.
>> NO, NO.
I HAVE A DAUGHTER, BRO, LIKE,
YOU GOTTA COOL OUT.
>> YEAH, I FEEL YOU.
HAVING A DAUGHTER DEFINITELY
JUST CHANGE YOUR PLAYER WAYS.
MY DAUGHTER LULU'S THREE NOW.
AND NOW THAT PUMA'S A NEW DAD,
HE'S GONNA SEE HOW IT CHANGES
EVERYTHING: THE WAY YOU LOVE,
THE WAY YOU HURT, EVERYTHING.
BUT CHECK THIS.
HER MOMS IS ABOUT TO COME AND
TAKE HER BACK TO TEXAS.
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> LIKE, IF I CAN'T FIND THEM
$3,000 TO PAY MY BILL,
I'M GETTING EVICTED FROM MY
APARTMENT.
LOSING MY JOB AT BLACK INK,
IT JUST STARTED A DOMINO EFFECT.
COULDN'T PAY THE RENT, NOW I'M
GETTING EVICTED, AND SO LULU'S
MOMS JUST TOLD ME BEST THING TO
DO IS FOR HER TO MOVE BACK TO
TEXAS.
>> YOU BE GOING THROUGH IT.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS THAT
MUCH HE WAS GOING THROUGH, MAN.
HE HAS TO BE, LIKE, ONE OF THE
STRONGEST PEOPLE I KNOW.
THAT'S O.D. WHACK, 'CAUSE I
DEFINITELY, LIKE, TRY TO TALK TO
CEASER ABOUT GETTING YOU BACK IN
THE MIX.
IT WAS DOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE
PARTY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> NO, WE GOOD, THE PARTY WAS
DOPE, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM
TO ACT LIKE THAT.
>> HE DOESN'T GET IT.
>> I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO CALL
ME OUT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY,
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
TOGETHER SO LONG, LIKE, KNEW
CEASER SINCE HE HAD BRAIDS.
>> YEAH, RIGHT.
HE WAS USED TO WEARING VANS AND
[bleep].
YEAH, HE WOULDN'T EVEN WANT TO
KNOW HOW IT FEEL TO LOSE HIS
DAUGHTER, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> FOR REAL.
>> OVER MONEY.
>> IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE
MY LIFE EVERY DAY WITHOUT LULU.
I REMEMBER WHEN SHE WAS BORN
TWO MONTHS PREMATURE.
I CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL,
SHE HAD THE BREATHING TUBE AND
EVERYTHING.
I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BREAK HER.
AND SHE WAS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT
IN A POT.
BUT I'VE BEEN WITH HER
EVERY DAY SINCE THEN, SO...
THINGS ARE GONNA BE HARD.
ABOUT TO LOSE MY BABY, MAN,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
I'VE BEEN WITH LULU FOR SO LONG,
JUST ME AND HER, LIKE
BATMAN AND ROBIN, AND NOW SHE'S
ABOUT TO GO BACK TO HER MOMS.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TAKE
THAT ADJUSTMENT.
>> IT KIND OF SUCKS, MAN.
IT KIND OF, LIKE, HURT MY HEART,
KNOWING THAT HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE
HER.
I KNOW IT'S KILLING HIM INSIDE.
HE HAS TO FIX IT, MAN.
THERE'S ABOUT SO MUCH ANYBODY
CAN FIX FOR HIM.
SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO JUST FIX IT
YOURSELF, YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW CEASER.
HE DOESN'T KNOW NO BETTER.
YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT TO CEASE
AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT'S UP.
>> NOW, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU
WALKING WITH ME TO WALK MY DOG?
>> [bleep] IS IN SOME TROUBLE.
>> TROUBLE HE IN?
>> LIKE, REAL TALK TROUBLE.
HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE
HIS APARTMENT.
HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE HIS CHILD.
I FELT LIKE CEASE SHOULD GIVE
HIM A CHANCE JUST TO GET BACK ON
HIS FEET.
SO I HEARD FROM PUMA THAT
[bleep] MIGHT BE GETTING KICKED
OUT OF HIS CRIB AND POSSIBLY
LOSING LULU.
HE HURT.
HE NEED HELP.
>> YOU WANT ME TO LET HIM
TATTOO?
>> I WANT HIM TO BE ABLE TO GET
HIMSELF OUT OF THE SITUATION
HE IN.
LIKE, LET HIM WORK BACK
AT THE SHOP A FEW DAYS A WEEK.
>> NOT HAPPENING.
>> YOU KNOW HIM ALL THESE YEARS
AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA BE LIKE
"[bleep] IT" THAT EASY?
>> FRIENDSHIP IS EQUAL.
I DON'T FEEL HE WOULD DO
THE SAME FOR ME
IF I WAS IN THIS SITUATION.
WHAT JOB YOU KNOW THE BOSS HAS
ANYBODY HE CAN'T TRUST?
CAN'T [bleep] TATTOOS UP
AND EXPECT TO WORK IN MY SHOP.
>> THINK ABOUT LULU.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HIM.
THINK ABOUT HER.
>> NOW YOU'RE GONNA THROW THAT--
NOW YOU GONNA USE THAT CARD.
A LITTLE GIRL?
>> YOU GOT A DAUGHTER.
THAT'S GONNA HELP YOU
TO UNDERSTAND HOW
SERIOUS THE SITUATION--
>> YOU KNOW THAT'S SOME
BULL[bleep] THOUGH, RIGHT?
>> NO, THAT'S REAL.
I WOULDN'T THINK THAT YOU WOULD
ACT LIKE THAT.
CEASE?
>> YES?
>> YOU GOT A DAUGHTER.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THAT WAS
YOU IN THAT SITUATION?
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
>> HOW DO YOU LET YOURSELF
GET TO THAT POINT?
PUT IT LIKE THIS.
NO TIME SOON WILL [bleep] EVER
BE WORKING IN THE SHOP.
I MEAN, THIS IS A TOUGH
SITUATION.
ME AND [bleep] GREW UP TOGETHER.
WE KNEW EACH OTHER AS KIDS.
WE BASICALLY FAMILY.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THIS IS BUSINESS.
COME ON, LEROY.
OH, HE GOT TO TAKE A [bleep].
SEE?
HE [bleep] ON THE SAME IDEA.
>> WHAT UP?
I'M SURPRISED YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> WHAT'S THIS I HEARD YOU
LOOKING FOR A JOB?
>> I AM NERVOUS TO TALK TO
CEASE.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING FOR THIS TO
HAPPEN TODAY.
ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS OR
ARE YOU GONNA CHASTISE ME?
>> WE TALKING 'BOUT IT.
>> IT'S [bleep] LEGIT.
>> UH-HUH.
>> IT'S SOLID.
IT'S SECURITY.
SASSY'S GROWING UP AND IS
BECOMING A WOMAN AND, LIKE--
>> YOU SOUND LIKE MALCOLM X
PREACHING THAT BULL[bleep]
RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NO, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
MY BILLS ARE PAID, AND I GOT
A [bleep] HOME, AND WHEN I WAKE
UP IN THE MORNING, MY LIGHTS IS
ON EVERY DAY.
>> SHE'S TRYING TO SAY SHE
DOESN'T WANT TO BE A STARVING
ARTIST LIKE US.
>> YEAH, I LOVE Y'ALL,
AND I LOVE YOU,
AND I LOVE BLACK INK.
>> BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
PART OF THE CREW NO MORE?
>> I WOULD LIKE TO BE HERE
FULL-TIME IF I CAN BE HERE
FULL-TIME, BUT I JUST
CAN'T DO IT.
I GOTTA GET PAID FOR IT.
>> SO YOU NEED MORE MONEY?
>> YES.
YOU WANT TO PAY ME MORE?
>> YEAH.
>> SO THEN I'M HERE.
I'M REALLY WRITING UP
A CONTRACT.
I'M LETTING YOU KNOW.
>> I'M OUT OF HERE. SEE YOU.
>> 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA DETERMINE
IF I WHAT THE [bleep] I'M GONNA
DO IF I'M GONNA WORK HERE
OR IF I'M NOT.
>> YEAH, I THOUGHT WE JUST HAD
AN AGREEMENT.
>> WE GOT--I TALKED TO YOU AND--
>> YOU SAID YOU WAS GONNA WRITE
THE CONTRACT UP,
AND THEN I'MA SIGN IT.
WHAT THE HELL?
>> [screams]
>> CEASER'S DEFINITELY GOING TO
HAVE TO GIVE ME MORE THAN JUST
HIS WORD IF HE THINKS I'M GONNA
GIVE UP THIS JOB HUNT.
>> AFTER THIS CONVERSATION WITH
DUTCHESS, KIND OF FELT GUILTY
AFTER A WHILE 'CAUSE I DIDN'T
KNOW THAT MUCH WAS GOING ON.
>> YO, CEASE.
>> WHAT UP?
>> WHAT'S POPPIN'?
>> I HAVE A DAUGHTER, AND I KNOW
HOW IT IS TO FALL ON HARD TIMES.
AND FOR YOU TO BE EVICTED
WITH A KID, THAT'S NO WAY TO BE
IN NEW YORK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS GONNA
CHANGE.
I HAVE TO SEE HIM FACE-TO-FACE.
WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING HERE?
>> LET ME BACK TO WORK.
I KNOW PEOPLE STILL COME INTO
THE SHOP EVERY DAY ASKING FOR
ME, AND THAT BE MONEY
THAT YOU COULD BE GETTING.
OR MONEY THAT WE COULD BE
GETTING TOGETHER.
>> I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
[bleep], IT AIN'T ABOUT
THE MONEY, DUDE.
IF I SIT HERE AND BE LIKE,
"A'IGHT, JUST COME BACK,"
HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME LOOK?
>> MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A PERSON
WHO'S HELPING OUT THEIR FRIEND.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT OVER
A MINOR SCUFFLE.
FRIENDS FIGHT.
I'VE NEVER BEEN FIRED BEFORE.
I FEEL LOST RIGHT NOW.
IT WASN'T ABOUT JUST LOSING MY
JOB.
IT WAS ABOUT ME AND CEASER
AND OUR FRIENDSHIP.
MY LIFE WAS BLACK INK.
THAT'S MY FAMILY.
>> WE WERE A FAMILY AT ONE TIME,
YOU FEEL ME?
BUT TRUTHFULLY, THE ONLY REASON
WHY I'M HERE IS 'CAUSE OF LULU.
THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN.
>> YEAH, I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT
TO LOSE MY DAUGHTER.
YOU KNOW THAT'S MY HEART.
>> THE RIGHT THING FOR ME IS
JUST TO WALK AWAY FROM THE
SITUATION AND BE LIKE, "[bleep],
[bleep], HE GONNA HAVE TO
FEND FOR HIMSELF."
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, IF IT'S
RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO BE
DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW LIKE BAD KARMA,
AND DENYING A CHILD LIKE THAT,
THAT'S SOME AWFUL [bleep].
>> SO COME ON.
STILL GOT TIME,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
WE JUST HAVE A SIP OF YAK,
GET OVER IT, START, YOU KNOW,
START OFF FRESH.
I APOLOGIZE.
>> LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.
>> SO I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING
MY DAUGHTER'S NAME TATTED ON ME.
>> SHE JUST WANT TO PUT
EXTRA PAIN ON YOU BECAUSE
YOU'RE A MAN.
>> [screams]
>> ALEX HAS MODELING EXPERIENCE,
AND I'M HAPPY THAT SHE'S WALKING
WITH US.
>> IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE JUST
SASSY AND DUTCHESS.
I'M NOT GOING TO WALK IN THE
SHOW TONIGHT.
MY CHECKS,
THEY SAY "MODEL" ON IT.
>> HO HO!
>> SHOTS FIRED.
>> SO I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING
MY DAUGHTER'S NAME TATTED ON ME,
MAN.
>> ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT
FOR YOU.
WANT TO GO SET UP?
>> BUT YOU NEED TO--
YOU NEED TO LET ME SAY
WHERE I'M GONNA PUT IT AT.
>> DAMN, CEASE, WHY YOU SO--
>> ACTUALLY GET TATTOOS BY YOU--
>> I THOUGHT YOU WAS
TRYING TO GET THE COURAGE TO ASK
ME AND [bleep].
YOU AIN'T GOTTA--
>> DAMN, CEASE.
LIKE, YOU JUST CUT MY THROAT.
>> I DIDN'T CUT YOUR THROAT.
THAT'S MY MAN.
A HUNDRED GRAND, I KNEW THIS
[bleep] FOR HOW LONG
I KNEW YOU PUMA?
>> LIKE, 15 YEARS.
>> THAT'S WHAT I BE TALKING
ABOUT, LIKE, I THOUGHT IT WAS
JUST AUTOMATIC.
>> YOU KNOW THEY GOT THIS
"ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO
BETTER" THING GOING ON.
>> I THINK I SHOULD DO IT.
>> WELL, ACTUALLY, I WAS GONNA
LET DUTCHESS TATTOO ME.
I NEVER HAD A FEMALE TATTOO ME
BEFORE.
>> THAT'S WHAT'S UP.
>> I GOT CONFIDENCE IN HER.
>> WOW.
I GUESS WE DO LIVE IN AMERICA.
>> I'M ABOUT TO DRAW IT UP
RIGHT NOW.
>> BUT, YO, CAN I JUST GIVE YOU
THE HEADS UP?
>> YUP.
>> HE'S A BITCH.
>> [laughs]
>> I GOT YOU, PUMA.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I GOT YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, GOOD.
>> YO, I DON'T [bleep] FEMALE
TATTOOING ME.
THE [bleep] IS WRONG WITH YOU?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THEY JUST WANT TO PUT EXTRA
PAIN ON YOU BECAUSE YOU A MAN.
>> WHAT?
>> EVERYTHING A MAN DID TO THEM.
>> OH, NO, DON'T SAY THAT.
>> YEAH, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO
THROUGH IT.
>> NO!
>> YOU ABOUT TO DIE.
>> WHOO, THAT'S COLD.
[laughs]
YEAH, THIS IS GONNA FIT.
>> LET'S GET IT ON THEN.
>> AH!
OH, [bleep].
[bleep].
[groaning]
OH, BUT NOT NOW.
[screams]
>> IT'S GONNA BE WORTH IT.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> IMAGINE ALL THE PAIN THAT
TAMIA'S GONNA PUT YOU THROUGH.
>> I KNOW.
GOD!
BUT IT'S NOT PHYSICALLY
GONNA FEEL LIKE THIS.
[screams]
>> YEAH.
IT'S GONNA BE THE MENTAL PAIN,
LIKE ALL DADDIES' GIRLS.
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN TAMIA
ASKS FOR A TATTOO?
>> I'MA LET HER GET THAT
[bleep].
>> I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.
ME AND MY DAD, THAT WAS LIKE,
MY FIRST CONNECTION TO TATTOOING
WAS WITH HIM.
I GOT MY FIRST TATTOO WITH HIM.
>> I NEVER REALLY HAD A
RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME WANT TO BE
A GREAT FATHER.
BEING A FATHER, FOR ME, IS
AMAZING.
I'M REALLY HAPPY.
IT'S ACTUALLY CHANGED ME
FOR THE BETTER.
IT'S MAKING ME THE MAN
THAT I AM NOW, YOU KNOW?
NOT THE RECKLESS SAVAGE THAT
EVERYBODY KNOWS ME AS.
AND TAMIA HAS A LOT OF
SIGNIFICANCE IN IT.
A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE WHO
PASSED AWAY, HER DAUGHTER'S NAME
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MIA, AND I
ALWAYS MADE A PROMISE THAT WHEN
I HAVE MY FIRST CHILD, I WAS
GONNA NAME HER TAMIA.
IT'S A REALLY SPECIAL TATTOO,
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
>> NO, PUMA, ANY TIME.
YOU KNOW I GOT YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> [laughs]
>> SO CHEERS TO YOU GUYS FOR
HAVING ME OUT OF THE LOWER EAST
SIDE AND HERE
TO SAINT NICHOLAS.
UPTOWN.
>> POW, I LOVE IT.
>> CHEERS.
>> I LOVE IT.
WE ARE ALL GETTING DONE UP--
NAILS DONE, TOES DONE--BECAUSE
PUMA'S FRIEND ASKED US TO COME
AND WALK IN HIS CRAZY FASHION
SHOW TONIGHT.
>> WHATEVER YOU GUYS DO, JUST
SAVE ENOUGH ENERGY FOR TONIGHT
'CAUSE WE STILL GOTTA
BANK THAT OUT.
>> ALEX HAS MODELING EXPERIENCE.
I'M HAPPY THAT SHE'S WALKING
WITH US, BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY
KIND OF NERVOUS.
>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
ARE YOU AND CEASER STAY TEXTING
ALL THE TIME?
>> OOH, IT'S A LOT OF
BACK-AND-FORTH GOING ON
RIGHT NOW, LIKE, THAT'S A LOT OF
THINGS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
>> NO, WE DON'T.
WE JUST TEXT EACH OTHER.
>> LIES DOT COM.
>> WE ONLY TEXT EACH OTHER--
>> DOT NET.
>> WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE.
>> DOT ORG.
[laughter]
>> DID YOU DO A LITTLE
HIT AND QUIT?
>> [laughs]
>> WAIT, HAS ANYTHING HAPPENED
YET?
>> NO.
>> SOMETHING.
>> NO.
>> HAVE YOU GONE OUT ON A DATE?
>> NO.
>> WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IF HE ASKED YOU?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> THAT IS SUCH A "YES."
>> THAT IS NOT A "YES."
THAT'S A "I DON'T KNOW."

WORRY ABOUT HER.
>> I GUESS THAT'S KIND OF TRUE.
WHATEVER.
[bleep] IT.

I'MA LET YOU GUYS DO YOUR THING.

>> YOU AND ALL THE GUYS WENT
TO LOOK AT HALF-NAKED GIRLS.
>> I MEAN, YOU KNOW.
[chuckles]
WHY WOULDN'T I WANT TO GO AND
LOOK AT HALF-NAKED GIRLS?
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT
I KNOW WHEN I FEEL SOMETHING,
THE ONLY WAY I'M GOING TO KNOW
WHAT IT IS IS IF I TAKE AN
INITIATIVE TO EXPLORE IT.
I FELT LIKE THE GUYS WERE GIVING
ME SUCH A HARD TIME ABOUT NOT
DOING THE SHOW, BUT DUDE, LIKE,
RESPECT MY CRAFT.
IT'S WHAT THE [bleep]
I GOTTA DO.
>> [chuckles]
THAT'S BULL[bleep].
>> THAT'S NOT BULL[bleep].
>> THAT'S BULL[bleep].
I THINK THERE'S MORE TO IT.
>> SO YOU TELL ME WHAT'S MORE
TO IT.
[indistinct speech]

DOG.
LIKE, OH, MAN.
>> HOW'S IT GOING, GUYS?
>> WHAT'S GOING ON, BRO?

THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD.
THIS AIN'T A JOKE.
I GOTTA GO TO COURT.
THAT [bleep] SAYS I NEVER GAVE
HER A DIME SINCE CHEYENNE'S
BEEN BORN.
SHE'S TELLING 'EM [bleep]
I NEVER GAVE HER NO MONEY EVER.
I JUST GAVE HER $4,000 A COUPLE
WEEKS AGO.
AND I'M BUYING EVERYTHING FOR
CHEYENNE.
>> CHEYENNE'S STAYING FRESH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING
ABOUT.
>> CHEYENNE LOVE POLO.
THAT [bleep] IS EXPENSIVE.
EVERY WEEK SHE SMILES IN MY FACE
TAKING MONEY FROM ME.
BUT SHE BEEN HAVING THIS [bleep]
PLANNED.
>> SO WHAT YOU THINK GON' HAPPEN
WHEN YOU GO TO COURT THOUGH?
>> I'MA GO IN THERE AND EXPLAIN
MY STORY.
I'MA SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER
DEADBEAT DAD THAT'S TRYING TO
BEAT THE SYSTEM.
MY BABY MOTHER, SHE'S WITH ME
FROM THE BEGINNING.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WE FELL OUT OF LOVE.
CHEYENNE'S MY EVERYTHING.
I WANT TO GIVE HER EVERYTHING
I NEVER HAD.
IF IT WASN'T FOR HER,
I'D PROBABLY BE IN JAIL OR DEAD.
BULL[bleep], YO.
I'M [bleep] OUT OF HERE.
THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD.
BLACK INK IS REAL [bleep] UP
RIGHT NOW, AND NOW I'M GETTING
CHARGED WITH BACK PAY
OF CHILD SUPPORT.
AND IF IT'S NOT PAID UP
IN SUFFICIENT TIME, I COULD LOSE
EVERYTHING I WORKED SO HARD FOR.
