>> I FEEL LIKE YOUR LOOK,
YOUR STYLE, AND EVERYTHING
IS SOMETHING THAT OUR
VIBE VIXEN READERS WOULD LOVE.
>> SO THE LADY FROM THE
MAGAZINE--SHE APPROACHES ME
AFTER THE FASHION SHOW.
>> CAN I JUST TAKE DOWN
YOUR INFORMATION?
>> DEFINITELY.
>> TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.
BEFORE WE LEFT THE FASHION SHOW,
ALEX ASKED ME WHAT WAS I DOING
AFTER THE FASHION SHOW.
>> YO, LISTEN.
HONESTLY, THIS [bleep] IS NOT
GONNA WORK OUT FOR RIGHT NOW.
>> I JUST DON'T GET IT.
WHY IS IT ME THAT GETS FIRED?
>> I'VE BEEN WITH LULU
FOR SO LONG, JUST ME AND HER,
LIKE BATMAN AND ROBIN, AND NOW
HER MOMS IS ABOUT TO COME
AND TAKE HER BACK TO TEXAS.
>> DAVID EMANUEL?
>> YEAH.
WHAT MAGAZINE ARE YOU FROM?
>> YOU'VE BEEN SERVED.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS THIS?
I'M GETTING CHARGED
WITH BACK-PAYING CHILD SUPPORT.
AND IF IT'S NOT PAID UP
IN SUFFICIENT TIME,
I COULD LOSE EVERYTHING
I WORKED SO HARD FOR.
[hip-hop music]
*
>> SO YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO
TO COURT?
>> YES.
>> YOU GOT ME UP WILD EARLY
FOR COURT.
>> THIS [bleep] IS SOME [bleep]
TRASH BULL[bleep].
>> [bleep] BABY MAMA DRAMA.
>> SO I'M DRIVING TO COURT RIGHT
NOW, 'CAUSE LAST WEEK I GOT
SERVED SOME PAPERS FROM CRYSTAL.
MY BABY MAMA'S SAYING I OWE HER
BACK CHILD SUPPORT.
I'M KIND OF SWEATING RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, WHY IS SHE TAKING ME
TO COURT?
'CAUSE SHE THINK I'M A [bleep]
FAMOUS TATTOO ARTIST.
SHE'S SEEN ME
IN A COUPLE MAGAZINES.
"OH, YOU'RE GETTING
SO MUCH MONEY.
ME AND YOUR DAUGHTER--
WE'RE SITTING HERE
LIVING ON THE EAST SIDE.
YOU SHOULD MOVE US
TO A BIG HOUSE."
I'M SITTING THERE LIKE, "WHAT?
I STILL LIVE
IN THE [bleep] PROJECTS.
YOU'RE BUGGING."
I DON'T HAVE NO [bleep] HOUSE.
MY DAUGHTER, CHEYENNE,
IS EIGHT YEARS OLD.
SHE'S PROBABLY THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE.
I'M GONNA SPOIL HER.
COATS, CLOTHES, TIME--
SHE GETS IT.
I'M NOT GONNA SAY NO
TO MY DAUGHTER.
LIKE, IF SHE WANTS
THE EIFFEL TOWER, I'M GONNA TRY
TO BUY IT FOR HER.
EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T AFFORD IT,
I'M GONNA TRY.
CHEYENNE GETS HER NAILS DONE
AND FEET DONE EVERY WEDNESDAY.
SHE GETS HER HAIR DONE
EVERY SUNDAY.
IT IS NO WAY SOMEONE'S GONNA
TELL ME THAT I'M A [bleep]
BAD FATHER.
LIKE, THIS IS TRULY
A WOMAN SCORNED.
YOU WOULD THINK I WAS MARRIED
TO THIS [bleep].
>> Y'ALL WEREN'T NEVER TOGETHER?
>> NOT LIKE THAT.
LIKE, NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP.
[bleep].
SHE WAS A FRIEND WITH BENEFITS.
>> THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.
>> YEAH, I KNOW.
>> YOU CAN'T HAVE SO MANY
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS, HONEY.
SEE, THIS IS WHAT
I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
I LIKE CEASE.
I MEAN, I'M THERE FOR HIM
AS A FRIEND.
BUT MORE THAN THAT,
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK HE'S STILL STUCK
IN HIS CHILDISH WAYS.
>> TALK TO YOU LATER.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I TELL YOU, IF I DON'T COME
BACK OUT IN A COUPLE HOURS,
YOU JUST BOUNCE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I'M LOCKED UP.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I'M NERVOUS ABOUT CEASE,
AND I'M TORN,
'CAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND,
AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANYTHING
BAD TO HAPPEN TO HIM.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I WANT TO SEE A CERTAIN LEVEL
OF MATURITY COME OUT OF HIM,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE TYPE OF MAN
I WOULD WANT TO BE WITH.
>> WHAT'S UP, LOVE?
>> WHAT'S UP?
>> WHAT'S GOOD WITH YOU?
>> I'VE BEEN HERE, LIKE,
MAD LONG JUST WAITING.
>> YEAH, I KNOW.
HE JUST TEXTED ME AND TOLD ME
TO COME DOWN HERE.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T REALLY DO
THE BABY MAMA DRAMA,
SO I'M GONNA KEEP MYSELF
ON THE OUTSIDE.
>> I'M GONNA GO SEE
WHAT'S UP, THOUGH.
>> LET ME KNOW WHAT'S POPPING.
>> IT'S NOT LOOKING TOO GOOD
FOR YOUR BOY.
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> UM...
SHE'S TRYING TO PUT HIM IN JAIL.
>> JAIL?
>> JAIL.
HE LOOKS SICK RIGHT NOW.
LIKE, THE JUDGE ALREADY RULED
SIX MONTHS.
HE'S IN THE WAITING ROOM TO SEE
ANOTHER JUDGE, AND IF THAT JUDGE
MAKES A FINAL DECISION,
WE WON'T SEE CEASE
FOR SIX MONTHS.
>> [bleep].
>> * ONE
* TWO
* THREE
* FOUR
>> ARE YOU HYPED?
>> I'M A LITTLE BIT HYPED.
>> I'M HYPED FOR YOU.
HOW'S THE BABY?
>> SHE'S GOOD.
>> I TOLD YOU.
IT WAS GONNA TAKE HER BEING
BORN FOR YOU TO REALIZE
YOU GOT TO GET
YOUR [bleep] TOGETHER.
>> TODAY I'M GOING TO THE
DENTIST TO GET MY TEETH FIXED.
BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NEW "P."
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
FIX MY GRILL.
CALM THE [bleep] DOWN
A LITTLE BIT.
[laughs]
MORE HAPPINESS.
DOING IT FOR TAMIA, AND I THINK
IT'LL MAKE QUANNIE REALLY HAPPY
WHEN WE START GOING INTO PUBLIC
ATMOSPHERES AND I CAN JUST START
SHOWING MY GRILL AGAIN.
I CAN'T GO TO THE P.T.A. MEETING
WITH A CHIPPED TOOTH.
I'M SO SCARED.
I'M SCARED.
I AM [bleep] HORRIFIED
OF ALL DRILLS AND NEEDLES.
HE MAY JUST [bleep] UP ONE TIME
AND GO INTO MY BRAIN
AND TAKE ME OUT.
IT'D BE THE DEATH OF PUMA
FROM A DENTIST.
>> PUMA?
>> YES.
>> HERE TODAY, YOU'RE SET UP
FOR AN IMPLANT SURGERY.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> I STERILIZE THE INSTRUMENTS.
I GOT REALLY SHARP ONES,
SO YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL VERY MUCH.
[drill whirring]
YOU WON'T HAVE TO DO ANY OF IT.
>> DON'T VOMIT.
>> ALL RIGHT?
>> HOLY [bleep].
>> [laughs]
PUMA IS FREAKING OUT.
LIKE, HE'S, LIKE,
HYPERVENTILATING.
>> SO I HAVE TO RECONTOUR
THE BONE.
>> OKAY, I'M READY TO JUMP
THE [bleep] OUT THIS CHAIR.
>> SAY, "AAH."
>> [groans]
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DENTIST
COMES OUT WITH A FREAKING
COLOR CHART OF TEETH
FROM MOTHER[bleep]
MOTHER-OF-PEARL-WHITE
TO DAMN COFFEE-BLACK TEETH.
I MEAN, I FELT LIKE I WAS
AT HOME DEPOT, LIKE HE WAS
INTERIOR DECORATING
MY MOTHER[bleep] GRILL.
>> IT'S TOO LIGHT FOR YOU.
>> YOU NEED SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT MORE--
>> A LITTLE DARK.
A LITTLE MORE TAN.
>> A LITTLE TAN.
>> YOU READY?
HERE WE GO.
SEE?
>> OH, THAT ONE'S PERFECT.
>> ALL RIGHT?
>> SASSY'S SITTING THERE
HELPING, LIKE, "YEAH, MM.
I LIKE THAT COLOR.
I LIKE THAT COLOR."
>> WE GOT A WINNER.
>> [laughs]
>> THIS IS ALL FOR TAMIA.
>> THAT'S YOUR BABY?
>> YEAH.
>> YES.
>> [chuckles]
OPEN.
>> WOW.
>> OH, WOW.
>> NICE.
IT LOOKS GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
UNCLE WEST.
>> [chuckles]
>> MY GUY.
>> I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY.
>> YEAH, I'M SO HAPPY.
>> YOU'RE A LIKABLE FELLOW.
>> I THINK QUANNIE IS REALLY
GONNA APPRECIATE ALL OF THE
CHANGES THAT PUMA IS MAKING
FOR HER AND FOR TAMIA.
YEAH, MAN.
I'M MAD PROUD OF YOU, "P."
DOESN'T HE LOOK GOOD?
DOESN'T HE LOOK BETTER
NOW, RIGHT?
YEAH?
YOU LOOK LIKE A PERSON.
>> WELL, LOOK AT THIS [bleep].
>> [bleep] PISSED, YO.
MAN, THIS BITCH IS PLAYING
DIRTY, YO.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] HAPPENED?
>> YOU'RE TAKING THAT SIX MONTHS
[bleep] FOR REAL?
>> I'M GONNA GET LOCKED UP SIX
MONTHS IF I DON'T COME UP
WITH THREE STACKS IN A MONTH
TO GIVE TO HER.
>> OOH, THAT'S A LOT.
>> IT IS SO MANY DEADBEAT
FATHERS OUT HERE.
THIS MAN IS NOT LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S DISHEARTENING TO SEE
THAT HE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS,
AS MUCH AS HE LOVES CHEYENNE.
>> SHE'S SAYING, "OH, NO, I
DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THE MONEY.
I THINK WE SHOULD PUT HIM
IN JAIL."
SHE WAS LIKE, "NO, I WANT HIM
LOCKED UP NOW.
RIGHT NOW."
>> THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID?
>> THIS IS SOME BULL[bleep].
I GOT TO GO TO THE SUPREME COURT
OR SOMETHING.
>> YEAH, I'M SO HAPPY
I AIN'T GOT NO KIDS.
I AIN'T GOT TO DEAL
WITH THESE PROBLEMS.
[laughs]
>> HUNGRY?
>> AS HELL.
YOU TREATING?
>> Y'ALL SPEAKING IN CODES?
Y'ALL TRYING TO GET ME
OUT OF HERE?
THAT'S NOT, LIKE,
SOME OTHER [bleep]?
>> NO.
>> YO.
CAN Y'ALL STOP THIS [bleep]
WHILE I'M IN FRONT OF Y'ALL?
>> I GOT TO GO TALK TO CRYSTAL
AND SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER.
I'LL CATCH UP WITH Y'ALL LATER.
I SEE CRYSTAL, AND SHE'S GIVING
ME A STARE LIKE SHE WANTS TO
KILL ME AND BURY ME SOMEWHERE.
YOU'RE NOT FACING SIX MONTHS
OF JAIL TIME.
I AM.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
MAD AT ME FOR?
WHAT UP?
>> YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME?
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
NOW THAT THEY GAVE YOU
AN EXTENSION AGAIN?
>> YOU TELL ME.
YOU'RE TRYING TO LOCK ME UP
OVER $2,500.
>> ME TRYING TO LOCK YOU UP?
>> YOU HAVE A LAWYER.
YOU HAVE A PERSONAL LAWYER.
THAT'S NOT NO STATE--
>> OKAY, BUT YOUR DAUGHTER IS
SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR PRIORITY.
>> I GAVE HER MONEY EVERY WEEK.
SHE JUST WANTS MORE AND MORE.
I DON'T TAKE CARE OF MY CHILD?
>> YOU DON'T.
>> ALL THEM SNEAKERS, ALL THAT--
I DON'T TAKE CARE OF MY CHILD?
>> SNEAKERS IS NOT TAKING CARE
OF YOUR CHILD.
WHAT DOES SHE EAT?
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT?
>> WHAT DOES SHE EAT?
>> NO, HOW MUCH MONEY
DO YOU WANT?
>> YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE
WHAT THE COURTS TELL YOU
TO GIVE.
YOU DON'T GIVE THAT.
>> SO YOU THINK $2,500 IS ENOUGH
TO LOCK UP YOUR BABY'S FATHER?
>> I DID NOT SAY THAT.
THEY TOLD YOU TO PAY $2,500,
AND YOU DIDN'T COME WITH $2,500
IN THE COURT.
>> LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
DO YOU THINK THAT [bleep]
IS COOL, THOUGH?
TO LOCK UP YOUR BABY'S FATHER?
>> THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
>> EXACTLY.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
>> THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
WHERE YOU AT?
>> DON'T WORRY.
YOU'LL GET YOUR $2,500.
>> NO, IT'S NOT ONLY
$2,500, BOO.
>> NO, YOU'LL GET
YOUR SIX STACKS--MY BAD--
YOUR LITTLE SIX STACKS.
YOU GO BUY YOURSELF A NEW CAR.
[clicks tongue]
>> I HAVE A CAR ALREADY.
>> I SAID A NEW ONE.
>> SEE, BUT YOU'RE MAKING
YOURSELF LOOK STUPID, BECAUSE--
>> I'M NOT LOOKING STUPID.
>> YOU'RE NOT A FATHER.
>> YOU WANT TO LOCK ME UP
OVER $6,000.
LET'S MAKE THIS CLEAR.
I DO SUPPORT MY CHILD.
WHAT I DON'T SUPPORT IS CRYSTAL
TAKING ALL THE DAMN MONEY AND
SPENDING IT ON HER [bleep] SELF.
>> YOU HAVEN'T PAID
WITHIN TWO YEARS.
>> IN EIGHT YEARS,
I OWE YOU $6,000.
>> YOU HAVEN'T PAID.
>> IN EIGHT YEARS,
I OWE YOU $6,000.
>> YOU HAVEN'T PAID.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE'RE NOT.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DAY
I STARTED YOU ON CHILD SUPPORT.
>> YO, LATER, HOMEY.
I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY.
[bleep] OUT OF HERE.
>> SO RATCHET.
SO RATCHET.
>> YO, I'M OUT.
>> I'M DONE.
>> OUT OF HERE.
>> I HOOKED UP WITH TED.
CUPID JUST HAPPENED TO SHOOT ME
RIGHT IN THE ARROW--
RIGHT ON THE ASS.
>> [laughs]
DON'T LOOK AT MY TOES.
>> DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING
ON YOUR MIND?
>> NOT AT ALL.
[phone clicking]
>> LULU'S MOTHER, COLEY,
IS GONNA COME TOMORROW
TO TAKE LULU BACK TO TEXAS.
BYE, BABY.
I LOVE YOU.

>> LEAVE HIM ALONE.
>> LEROY'S A NICE DOG,
BUT HE HAS ONE BAD HABIT.
>> YOU SEE?
YOU SEE? SEE?
>> LEROY.
>> CEASER.
CEASER.
>> THIS DOG JUST CAN'T STOP
HUMPING EVERYBODY.
>> SIT DOWN.
LEAVE HER ALONE.
>> TED HUMPS EVERYTHING.
NOW WE GOT TO WATCH OUT
FOR HIM AND LEROY?
LIKE, WHAT THE [bleep]?
>> HERE, LET ME LAY DOWN
BETWEEN Y'ALL.
>> NO.
NO.
>> [laughs]

[laughs]
>> I'M TIRED NOW.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
GO TO SLEEP.
>> SHUT UP, YO.

AND I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.
MY HEART RACES SO BAD.
CUPID JUST HAPPENED TO SHOOT ME
RIGHT IN THE ARROW--
RIGHT ON THE ASS WITH THAT ONE--
WITH AN ARROW.
SORRY.

>> BITCH, HUG ME.
I'M COLD.
>> WHAT IS THIS?

>> YEAH, SASSY, I'M LOVING
THOSE PANTS.
>> SWEET.
>> SHE'S BEEN ON HER
RHYTHM NATION FLOW LATELY.
HEAVY.
>> CEASE GOT A HOT-ASS CLIENT
COMING IN NAMED EMILY.
EVERYBODY IN THE SHOP KNOWS
HOW I FEEL ABOUT EMILY.
I LOVE THIS GIRL.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO COME
GET THIS TATTOO.
>> I CAN'T PROMISE YOU NOTHING.
EMILY'S KIND OF SMART.
SHE'S UP TO MY KIND OF TRICKS.
>> YOUR SHENANIGANS.
YOU GOT TO AT LEAST BE
A SMART PERVERT.
LIKE, EMILY--SHE'S DEFINITELY
UP ON Y'ALL.
>> SHE'S NOT UP ON ME.
ACCORDING TO HER,
I'M A GOOD GUY.
>> "OH, TED, YOU'RE
A SWEETHEART," YEAH.
>> MATTER OF FACT, WHERE
THE IS [bleep] SHE AT, MAN?
I WANT TO SEE THIS [bleep].
>> AIN'T SHE SUPPOSED
TO BE HERE?

[laughs]
>> DAMN, THAT'S A LONG-ASS
HUG, THOUGH.
>> LORD, HAVE MERCY.
>> [sighs]
MAN, THE THINGS I WOULD DO
TO EMILY.
I THINK I NEED TO KEEP
THOSE THINGS TO MYSELF.
[chuckles]
>> I JUST CAME FROM WORK.
>> SO ALL THESE GUYS ARE
DROOLING OVER EMILY.
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT
BEING PROFESSIONAL?
LET'S GET THIS TAT STARTED.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S START THIS.
>> I'M EXCITED.
DON'T LOOK AT MY TOES.
THESE ARE SINGLE WOMAN PROBLEMS,
ALL RIGHT?
>> YEAH, THAT'S CRAZY.
>> DON'T LOOK AT MY TOES.
>> THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
SINGLE, GIRL.
[laughter]
>> THAT'S NOT WHY I'M SINGLE.
>> YOU GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER.
YOU GOT TO GET IT RIGHT.
>> OH, MY GOD, NO.
[laughs]
>> EMILY'S FEET ARE THE TYPE OF
FEET--LIKE, THE FEET THAT KIND
OF, LIKE, CUT THROUGH SHEETS
AND [bleep] LIKE THAT.
LIKE, YOU CAN'T WEAR SOCKS
'CAUSE THEY'RE SO [bleep] UP.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL TED
ABOUT THIS.
>> WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL TED?
>> I THINK HE SHOULD BE INFORMED
ABOUT THIS.
>> HOW ABOUT WE LEAVE TED
OUT OF THIS?
>> DON'T WORRY.
I'M GONNA CALL YOU BIGFOOT
FROM NOW ON, GIRL.
>> OH, MY GOD.
I AM DONE.
I'M DONE WITH BLACK INK.
>> YO, GO LOOK AT HER FEET.
I WILL COME OUT HERE AND TELL
YOU TO GO LOOK AT HER FEET.
>> I WAS TRYING TO COME
BE A PERV.
>> YEAH, GO AHEAD.
JUST SAY YOU WANT TO LOOK
AT THE TATTOO.
>> HER FEET [bleep] UP?
>> THEY AIN'T [bleep] UP.
THEY JUST NEED TO BE DONE,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
JUST TELL HER I WAS TALKING
ABOUT HER FEET.
>> NO, HE DID NOT
JUST SEND YOU IN HERE.
HE'S A TROUBLEMAKER.
>> SO TEDDY AND ALEX CLEARLY
HAVE SMASHED.
ALEX IS, LIKE, SUPER OBSESSED
AND SUPER EMOTIONAL AND SUPER
IN LOVE.
>> THANKS, WALT.
>> BUT TEDDY'S TEDDY RUX,
AND TEDDY RUX NEVER
PORTRAYS TO BE ANYBODY ELSE
BUT TEDDY RUX, SO IF THAT'S
WHO YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH,
I--
GOOD LUCK.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> TIRED.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M ALL RIGHT.
>> WHERE'S TEDDY?
>> [laughs]

DON'T LOOK AT MY--
>> LET ME SEE YOUR FEET.
>> DON'T LOOK AT MY TOES.
>> WHAT THE [bleep]?
TEDDY'S LUCKY I'M NOT
A [bleep] HO.
I NEVER TREATED OR ACTED LIKE
A MIXXXY OR LIKE A BIRD
FROM THE MINUTE YOU MET ME.
SO FOR YOU TO FLIP IT LIKE THAT,
THAT'S [bleep] UP.
>> YOU SURE ARE A TROUBLEMAKER.
>> WHAT I DO?
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> YOU JUST SENT TED BACK HERE
TO LOOK AT MY TOES.
>> NO, I DIDN'T.
>> YES, YOU DID.
>> WHY WOULD I DO SUCH A THING?
>> KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T LIKE ANY OF Y'ALL.
>> WHAT I DO?
>> WE BEEFING.
>> BEEFING ABOUT WHAT?
>> WE BEEFING.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GONNA GO AND GET ME
A POPPING-ASS PEDICURE,
AND I'M GONNA COME IN HERE,
AND I'M GONNA PUT MY TOES
IN YOUR MOUTH.
>> MM.
SOUNDS INTERESTING.
>> [laughs]
>> SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.
>> [laughs]
>> READY TO START THIS TATTOO?
>> YES.
I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN
BY "DON'T CRY."
OW.
OOH.
WHAT IS THAT?
>> OH.
>> OH, MY GOD.
IT'S AWESOME.
I LOVE IT.
IT HURT LIKE A BITCH,
BUT IT'S PERFECT.
[laughs]
OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS GREAT, THOUGH.
>> YOU CAN SCREW AROUND WITH
YOUR CUSTOMERS ALL YOU WANT,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
YOU GOT TO GIVE THEM
A DOPE-ASS TATTOO.
>> YOU ARE CRAZY.
>> WHEN YOU'RE READY
TO BE RESPECTFUL...
>> I'M SORRY.
>> THEN YOU LET ME KNOW.
>> COME HERE, COME HERE.
>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
>> COME HERE.
>> WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY?
LIKE, [bleep] DONE [bleep] UP.
>> I'M NOT GONNA CHASE YOU.
COME HERE.
>> YO.
>> CAN I COME IN?
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S ACTING
THIS WAY.
HE MIGHT THINK I'M
OUT OF HIS LEAGUE.
OR MAYBE WHAT HE IS USED TO
IS HAVING A GIRL
ON HIS [bleep] 24/7.
>> SIT DOWN.
>> I NEVER WALKED INTO THIS
SITUATION AS A GROUPIE
OR SOMEONE THAT WAS
ON YOUR [bleep].
LIKE, OH, THIS IS WHAT
I'M COMPETING WITH?
[phone clicking]
>> WHAT'S UP?
>> WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?
>> I'M GOOD.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
>> YOU TELL ME.
>> WHY DO YOU LOOK
LIKE THAT, YO?
>> LOOK LIKE WHAT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
LIKE YOU GOT SOMETHING
ON YOUR MIND, RIGHT?
>> DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING
ON YOUR MIND?
>> NOT AT ALL.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE NOTHING
ON YOUR MIND?
SO YOU TELL ME TO COME IN
AND TALK TO YOU WHILE YOU'RE
ON THE PHONE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING ON YOUR MIND?
>> I MEAN, I'M ALWAYS
ON MY PHONE.
YOU KNOW THAT.
AND YOU ASKED TO TALK TO ME.
I TOLD YOU TO SIT DOWN.
SO HOW WOULD I HAVE SOMETHING ON
MY MIND IF YOU WANTED TO TALK?
>> YOU TOLD ME TO COME IN
AND SIT DOWN AND TALK TO YOU.
>> NO, YOU ASKED, CAN YOU TALK
TO ME, AND I SAID,
"COME IN AND SIT DOWN."
YOU ASKED IF I WANT TO GO
OUTSIDE, SO--
>> OKAY, SO IF YOU DID NOT WANT
TO TALK TO ME, EITHER, WOULD YOU
NOT TELL ME TO COME IN HERE
AND SIT DOWN?
>> I'M CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.
LIKE, I DON'T, LIKE--
TELL ME WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.
>> TELL ME WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.
>> I'M CHILLING.
I'M SITTING HERE HAVING A B.B.M.
CONVO WITH SOMEBODY.
I DON'T HAVE NOTHING ON MY MIND.
>> SO I WASN'T ON YOUR
MIND BEFORE?
>> NOT REALLY.
>> AT ALL?
>> NO.
THAT'S JUST BEING HONEST.
ALEX IS A LITTLE CUTE [bleep],
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR
THE SITUATION'S GONNA GO.
STUFF HAPPENS, AND PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD,
AND NOW WE'RE HERE.
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME
LIKE YOU WANT TO KILL ME?
>> [sighs]
TED IS [bleep] UP WHAT
POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN
BETWEEN ME AND HIM.
I LIKE YOU SO MUCH.
I WOULD LOVE TO JUST DISCOVER
YOU FOR A FEW YEARS
BEFORE WE EVER SETTLE DOWN
AND HAVE BABIES.
I LOOK AT YOU LIKE THIS BECAUSE
I HAD ENOUGH RESPECT FOR YOU
THAT WHEN [bleep] DID GO DOWN...
[phone beeps]
BETWEEN ME AND YOU--
[phone clicking]
>> YO, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
>> TED IS ACTING
[bleep] [bleep].
LIKE...
>> YOU GOT A RAZOR
IN YOUR BACK POCKET?
[bleep] GIRL IS NUTS, MAN.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
SITTING IN THE SHOP WATCHING HER
GO THROUGH HER LITTLE PHASE
AND HER ATTITUDE IS KIND OF
SEXY SOMETIMES.
LIKE, SOMETIMES WHEN SHE
FLIPS OUT ON PEOPLE,
IT'S KIND OF CUTE.
KIND OF INTRIGUING.
YO, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, YO?
>> TEDDY, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
>> COME HERE.
>> WHY--WHY ARE YOU
PULLING MY ARM?
>> COME HERE.
COME HERE, COME HERE.
PUT MY PHONE DOWN.
I'M DOING EVERYTHING YOU ASKED
ME TO DO.
CAN WE GO BACK INSIDE?
>> AND YOU GET CREDIT FOR THAT?
>> I SHOULD.
>> YOU KNOW, I GOT PERSONAL
WITH HIM.
HOW ELSE WOULD I FOUND OUT
THAT YOU ARE SHARIF HOMER
AND NOT TEDDY?
LIKE, LITTLE THINGS.
BIRTHDAYS, PLACES WE
GREW UP TOGETHER.
LIKE, THOSE ARE THINGS I FOUND
OUT ON MY OWN BY ASKING HIM
AND GETTING TO KNOW HIM WHEN
NO ONE ELSE WAS AT THE SHOP.
SO TO GO FROM THAT PERSON
TO, LIKE, A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
PERSON WHEN EVERYONE'S AROUND,
IT'S REALLY CONFUSING,
AND IT'S [bleep] UP.
>> COME HERE.
SIT DOWN.
COME HERE.
YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE.
>> I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
WITH YOU BEING LIKE THIS
WITH ME.
TEDDY, WE'RE INVOLVED.
>> WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THAT'S A STRONG WORD.
HOW ARE WE INVOLVED?
>> HOW ARE WE NOT?
>> ARE WE ADULTS HERE,
OR ARE WE, LIKE, IN HIGH SCHOOL?
THE NIGHT OF THE FASHION SHOW,
SHE'S FLIRTING.
I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY.
ME BEING TEDDY, I SAID,
"LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY."
AND I TOOK IT.
TAKING A STEP FURTHER
WITH DOING ANYTHING MORE
THAN WHAT HAPPENED,
I DON'T SEE THAT.
>> TELL ME, WHY AM I THE ONE
GOING CRAZY?
RIGHT NOW.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT.
I MEAN, YOU'RE CRAZY.
LIKE, YOU SEEM A LITTLE OFF.
>> HOW?
>> LOOK AT THEM EYES, YO.
>> TEDDY, I'M NOT CRAZY.
>> ALL CRAZY PEOPLE HATE BEING
CALLED CRAZY.
YOU ARE CRAZY.
CUTE BUT CRAZY.
SEXY BUT CRAZY.
INTRIGUING BUT CRAZY.
LIKE, WHATEVER DEFINITION
YOU GIVE FOR ALEX, "CRAZY"
HAS TO FOLLOW BEHIND IT.
>> ME AND YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE
TO TALK ABOUT.
WHEN YOU'RE READY
TO BE RESPECTFUL...
>> I'M SORRY.
>> THEN YOU LET ME KNOW.
>> COME HERE, COME HERE.
>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
>> COME HERE, PLEASE.
>> WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY?
LIKE, [bleep] DONE [bleep] UP.
HE'S--HE [bleep] UP.
HE [bleep] UP.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY.
>> I'M NOT GONNA CHASE YOU.
COME HERE.
THIS BITCH IS CRAZY.
>> I TREATED YOU HOW I WANTED
TO BE TREATED.
AND I DIDN'T GET THAT BACK.
[phone clicking]
>> I TRIED TO CALL
GRANDMA FIRST.
AND THEN SHE DIDN'T ANSWER,
SO I CALLED YOU.
BUT, MA, THIS IS THE BIGGEST
THING EVER.
LIKE, I'M GOING TO--
I'M ON MY WAY TO INKED MAGAZINE.
A FEW DAYS AGO, WE HAD THE
FASHION SHOW, AND INDUSTRY-WISE,
I GUESS THEY'RE TAKING NOTE
OF WHO I AM.
SO NOW I'M GONNA BE GOING TO
INKED MAGAZINE FOR A GO-SEE.
IT'S AMAZING.
I DECIDED I GOT TO CALL YOU,
'CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE
COMFORTABLE THAN I'M FEELING
RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS, LIKE, SOMETHING
THAT MEANS THE MOST TO ME.
SO I'M MAD NERVOUS.
>> I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
THE OVERACHIEVER.
MY MOTHER--SHE PROBABLY EXPECTED
ME TO BE A LAWYER OR A DOCTOR,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE PATH
THAT I WAS ON.
>> AND FOR ME TO BE A TATTOO
ARTIST NOW, IT HURTS HER.
AND I WANT HER TO ACCEPT
WHAT I'M DOING
JUST AS IF I WAS A DOCTOR.
>> I AM VERY, VERY, VERY
PROUD OF YOU.
>> I'M ABOUT TO GO UPSTAIRS NOW
AND MEET THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE MAGAZINE.
>> OKAY, I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO, MAMA.
KISSES.
>> BYE-BYE.
>> [groans]
>> PERFECT.
>> I GRADUATED CUM LAUDE
FROM COLLEGE.
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A TATTOO
ARTIST IN MY PARENTS' EYES.
>> HEY, COLEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
LULU'S MOTHER, COLEY, IS GONNA
COME TOMORROW TO TAKE LULU BACK
TO TEXAS.
THIS IS MY LAST DAY IN MY
APARTMENT AND THE LAST DAY
WITH MY DAUGHTER.
>> HEY.
>> MY NAME IS DUTCHESS.
I'M HERE FOR A GO-SEE WITH TODD.
>> YEAH, SURE.
>> THE GO-SEE AT INKED MAGAZINE
IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MOMENTS FOR ME CAREER-WISE.
>> HI, I'M TODD.
>> HOW YOU DOING?
TODD, I'M DUTCHESS.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
>> YEAH, GRAB A SEAT.
>> BUT I'M GONNA BE HONEST.
BEING IN THE TATTOO INDUSTRY
AS AN ARTIST--I'M REALLY, LIKE,
STARSTRUCK JUST BEING
IN THIS OFFICE.
>> OH, THANKS.
WE ARE TRYING TO KIND OF CHANGE
WHAT PEOPLE'S STEREOTYPES ARE
AND PERCEPTION OF GIRLS
WITH TATTOOS, SO--
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.
>> WE WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK
AT THE MAGAZINE AND SEE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> YOU SEE DOCTORS, LAWYERS,
ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE IN ALL TYPES
OF PROFESSIONS THAT HAVE
TATTOOS NOW.
I'M ALSO COLLEGE-EDUCATED,
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE
DON'T AUTOMATICALLY EXPECT.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE
WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO ME
LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW,
JUST BECAUSE OF WHO I AM.
>> SO YOU WANT TO TAKE
SOME PICTURES?
>> YEAH, I'M READY.
>> OKAY.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME TAKE ONE.
PERFECT.
NOW, JUST GIVE ME SOME SORT
OF POSE, ANYTHING YOU WANT.
GREAT.
TURN THAT WAY.
THREE.
GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, CAN YOU FAKE A SMILE?
OH, COME ON, THAT'S PRETTY--
THAT'S BETTER.
THERE YOU GO. BETTER.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
COOL.
NICE.
>> JUST MY MOM--LIKE, TODAY
I CALLED HER RIGHT BEFORE
I WALKED IN THE OFFICE,
'CAUSE SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH
I WANT THIS, LIKE, HOW MUCH
I ASPIRE TO HAVE A SITUATION
LIKE THIS.
I'M SORRY.
>> NO, IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
>> AND SHE TOLD ME HOW PROUD OF
ME SHE WAS, AND SHE DON'T KNOW--
IT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME.
'CAUSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT
SO LONG.
I GRADUATED CUM LAUDE
FROM COLLEGE.
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A TATTOO
ARTIST IN MY PARENTS' EYES--
MY MOM, ANYWAY.
SO FOR HER TO TELL ME THAT SHE'S
PROUD OF ME IN SOMETHING THAT
I LOVE THAT I'M DOING,
IT MEANT THE WORLD.
I WANT HER TO ACCEPT WHAT I'M
DOING JUST AS IF I WAS A DOCTOR.
'CAUSE I HAVE THE SAME POWER
A DOCTOR HAS.
I LOVE WHAT I DO, AND I GET TO
CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIFE EVERY DAY.
>> OKAY, HERE'S MY CARD.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> USUALLY, I DON'T TELL GIRLS
THIS IN THE GO-SEE, BUT, LIKE,
I THINK YOU'RE GORGEOUS.
WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA
SHOOT YOU.
LIKE, I'M VERY CONFIDENT
THAT YOU WOULD TOTALLY CRUSH
A PHOTO SHOOT.
>> AWW, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I THINK YOU DO A REALLY
GOOD JOB.
>> THANK YOU.
THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.
>> WELL, IT WAS AWESOME
TO MEET YOU.
>> THIS IS, LIKE,
A MILESTONE IN MY LIFE
RIGHT NOW.
>> WELL, COOL.
>> TODAY YOU MADE MY DAY.
THANK YOU.
[groans]
[laughs]
>> WHAT UP?
>> I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU.
>> [chuckles]
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THIS [bleep].
>> I KNOW THAT HE GOT A MILLION
PROBLEMS ALREADY IN HIS LIFE
DEALING WITH BLACK INK
AND THE CRAZY BABY MAMA DRAMA.
YEAH, WELL, I WAS MAD NERVOUS.
>> NERVOUS ABOUT WHAT?
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY,
DON'T BE NERVOUS.
>> IT WENT GOOD.
>> THAT'S WHY I CAME MY ASS DOWN
HERE TO MAKE SURE YOU AIN'T
ALL [bleep] UP.
>> SO JUST THE FACT THAT HE
COULD TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF HIS
SCHEDULE TO SHOW THAT HE
SUPPORTS ME, IT MADE MY DAY.
I HAD TO TAKE MY CLOTHES OFF.
>> DAMN, I SHOULD HAVE
CAME UPSTAIRS.
>> [laughs]
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
>> AT THE END OF THE WHOLE
THING, HE WAS LIKE,
"I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THIS,
BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
WE DEFINITELY ARE GONNA HAVE YOU
BE A PART OF THE MAGAZINE."
>> OH, COME HERE.
>> [laughs]
>> [groans]
I'M VERY PROUD OF DUTCHESS.
HOMEGIRL'S GETTING HER GROOVE
ON IN NEW YORK.
ALL RIGHT, SO HOW
ARE WE CELEBRATING?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
LUNCH ON YOU.
>> YO, LISTEN.
YOU GOT THE POSITION.
>> LUNCH AND DRINKS ON YOU.
>> YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME BREAD.
I FIGURED IT WAS ON YOU.
WHY'S IT ALWAYS GOT TO BE ON ME?
>> 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE BOSS.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
COME ON.
>> ALL RIGHT.
CELEBRATING.
[laughter]
>> * WHAT A DAY
* OH, OH, OH
* WHAT A DAY
>> * AH, JUST A COLD-FLOWING
* PHENOM
* GOING BLIND
* IN THE CITY FULL OF NEON
>> HEY, COLEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
I LOST MY JOB AT BLACK INK.
I'M GETTING EVICTED FROM MY
APARTMENT AND CAN'T PAY MY RENT.
SO LULU'S MOTHER, COLEY,
IS GONNA COME TOMORROW
TO TAKE LULU BACK TO TEXAS.
THIS IS MY LAST DAY
IN MY APARTMENT AND THE LAST DAY
WITH MY DAUGHTER.
FOR ME, I'LL MAKE SURE TO HAVE
EVERYTHING READY FOR HER.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
>> GUITAR.
>> YO, "P."
WHAT'S POPPING, BRO?
>> WHAT'S POPPING, BRO?
>> CHILLING, MAN.
>> I GOT YOU THE BOXES.
>> YO, GOOD LUCK,
'CAUSE I NEED THAT, MAN.
>> RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO SAY TO O'[bleep].
LIKE, HIS LIFE IS FALLING APART.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A PERSON
THAT'S LOSING EVERYTHING
AT THE SAME DAMN TIME?
KNOWING THAT YOU'RE LIVING
A STARVING ARTIST LIFE, DO YOU
FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA BE BETTER
FOR LULU TO BE DOWN IN TEXAS?
>> I'M NOT TOO FOND OF LULU
ACTUALLY GOING TO TEXAS,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE BEST,
BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN'T TAKE
LULU TO THE HOMELESS SHELTER
WITH ME.
STABILITY IS GOOD.
SHE NEEDS THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, TEXAS GRANNY--
LIKE, SHE HAS A BACKYARD.
SHE CAN PLAY.
SHE GOT A GARDEN.
SHE GOT CARROTS AND [bleep]
GROWING ON IN THE BACKYARD.
THAT'S [bleep] THAT SHE LIKES.
>> YEAH.
>> BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU
KNOW, SHE NEEDS HER DAD, MAN.
>> YEAH, STILL GONNA NEED
YOUR FATHER.
>> YEAH.
MY FATHER--HE WAS AROUND, BUT IT
WAS KIND OF, LIKE, IN AND OUT,
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THAT
WITH LULU.
LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE
THE REVOLVING DOOR
TO WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE,
ALL RIGHT, I'M HERE TODAY,
BUT I'M GONE TOMORROW.
>> I REMEMBER HOW YOU TOLD ME
WHEN YOU WENT DOWN SOUTH
HOW YOU MET HER.
BUT HOW DID YOU AND COLEY
EVEN GET TO WHERE YOU GUYS
ARE AT NOW?
>> SHE WAS, LIKE, THE MANAGER
AT A SHOP THAT I USED TO
WORK AT, AND SHE--
>> AH, SHE HAD MY JOB.
>> YEAH.
YEAH, SHE HAD YOUR JOB,
BASICALLY.
>> THAT'S AWESOME.
>> YOU KNOW, AFTER BEING AROUND
SOMEBODY FOR THAT LONG,
YOU KNOW, THE ATTRACTION
BUILDS UP, YEAH.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW,
THINGS HAPPEN, MAN.
BUT AFTER WE HAD LULU,
THINGS GOT KIND OF ROCKY,
AND THAT WAS WHEN SHE STARTED
DATING SOMEBODY ELSE,
AND THEN SHE DECIDED TO MOVE
TO TEXAS WITH HIM.
THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED,
WHY NOT TAKE MY DAUGHTER BACK
TO NEW YORK AND GET BACK
ON MY TATTOO GAME?
>> DAMN.
>> YEAH, MAN.
>> YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR CHANCE
AGAIN, BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
IF YOU DO IT, YOU GO HARD,
YOU KNOW?
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
I'M TELLING YOU, I'M TRYING
TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING,
NOT EVEN LOOK BACK.
>> MAN.
>> BUT YO, I'M ABOUT TO GET
OUT OF HERE, YO.
DO WHAT YOU DO.
STAY UP.
>> YEAH, MAN.
>> GIVE THE BABY A KISS FOR ME
AND ALL THAT GOOD [bleep].
>> YOU ALREADY KNOW.
JUST HIT ME UP, THOUGH,
IF ANYTHING.
>> ALL RIGHT, PUMA.
>> HEY, WHAT UP, Y'ALL?
>> WHAT'S GOOD?
>> WHAT YOU SO HAPPY FOR, BITCH?
>> WHAT?
>> HE GOT HIS FAKE CHIPPER ON.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
>> WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
>> WHERE ARE WE AT?
>> WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS.
>> VEGAS?
THE [bleep] WE GOING
TO VEGAS FOR?
>> WE'RE GOING TO THE BIGGEST
TATTOO SHOW ON EARTH.
>> WHOO!
>> SO YOU'RE GONNA TAKE ALL
THIS--EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON
IN HERE--TO VEGAS?
>> THE REASON I'M TAKING THE
WHOLE BLACK INK CREW TO VEGAS
IS BECAUSE, AS A BUSINESS, THIS
WOULD BE A GOOD STEPPING STONE.
>> YOU THINK THE SHOP IS READY
FOR A TATTOO CONVENTION
IN VEGAS?
THIS IS BLACK INK.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT TATTOO
CONVENTION IS READY FOR US.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVERYBODY
ELSE, BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME,
AND I'M SUPER AMPED TO GO
TO VEGAS.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THERE.
>> EXACTLY.
RIGHT.
WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS.
>> GET IN THERE LIKE, "HEY!"
THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE
A MARK IN THE WHOLE TATTOO
INDUSTRY, LET THE WORLD KNOW
WHO WE ARE.
THIS IS THE ONLY BLACK-OWNED
TATTOO SHOP THAT I KNOW OF
IN THE [bleep] WORLD,
SO AS OF RIGHT NOW,
BLACK INK IS WINNING.
ANY OF Y'ALL EVER BEEN
TO LAS VEGAS?
>> I AIN'T EVEN BEEN ON A PLANE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
"BEEN TO LAS VEGAS."
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT PREPARING
YOURSELF BECAUSE WE GOT LESS
THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO.
>> I'M GONNA GO CALL PUMA.
>> MONEY'S REAL TIGHT RIGHT NOW,
AND TECHNICALLY, I CAN'T AFFORD
TO FLY EVERYBODY OUT TO VEGAS
TO THIS CONVENTION.
BUT IF I WANT BLACK INK
TO BLOW UP,
THIS IS THE TYPE OF [bleep]
I HAVE TO DO.
>> THIS COULD BE, LIKE,
A BOMB-ASS TRIP OR A RECIPE
FOR DISASTER.
>> EITHER WAY, BABY,
IT'S GONNA TASTE SO GOOD.
WHOO!
>> I'M EXCITED.
>> * OH, YEAH
>> FIRST FEMALE TO TAT ME.
>> THIS PART IS GONNA HURT
A BIT.
>> YO.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M HEARING ABOUT
THIS INKED MEETING YOU GOT
GOING ON.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
>> THEY'RE GONNA DO AN ARTIST
PROFILE WITH ME.
>> NICE.
SO YOU'RE GONNA BE HAVING YOUR
ASS ALL IN INKED MAG?
>> I'M GONNA HAVE MY TATTOOS
IN INKED MAGAZINE.
NOT THE ASS--
THE TATTOOS.
>> RIGHT.
>> THE FOCUS IS THE TATTOOS.
[laughs]
>> THAT'S WHAT'S UP, MAN.
I HEAR THAT, AS FAR AS [bleep]
DOING SOMETHING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
GETTING YOUR NAME ON THINGS
AND ALL THAT.
>> I KNOW. IT'S CRAZY.
>> INKED MAG.
THAT'S MAJOR.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T REALLY HIRE
TOO MANY, YOU KNOW, COLORED
FOLKS UP IN THERE.
>> I WAS ABOUT TO SAY,
I'M, LIKE, THE ONLY SPOT
ON THE DALMATIAN.
IT'S, LIKE, SOME ILL EXPOSURE.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE--WHEN YOU
START WALKING AROUND--
"OH, YEAH, IT'S THAT GIRL
WITH THE DREADS FROM INKED MAG."
"OH, YEAH."
>> GETTING BOOKED BY INKED--
THAT WAS, LIKE, MAJOR.
IT'S MAJOR FOR MY CAREER.
I'M VERY EXCITED JUST TO SEE
WHAT KIND OF EXPOSURE IT'S GONNA
BRING ME.
I'M GONNA BE SURPRISED
TO WALK BY THE TRAIN STATION,
THE LITTLE NEWSPAPER STAND,
AND SEE MY FACE UP THERE.
>> YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO BUY A COUPLE COPIES,
SEND SOME HOME TO MAMA.
>> EVERY TIME I SEE IT,
I'M BUYING ONE.
>> GOOD, CHIEF?
>> I HATE LIGHT-SKINNED [...].
I SWEAR, YO.
OH, [...].
WHAT UP, HOMEY?
>> THREE HOURS LATE.
WE WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE UP
THE SHOP.
>> WHAT'S UP, BABY?
HOW YOU DOING?
>> WE WAS ABOUT TO CALL YOU
AND TELL YOU YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO RESCHEDULE IT.
WE WAS LIKE--
>> WHAT YOU GETTING DONE,
AGAIN, TODAY?
>> I GOT YOU ALL READY.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I GOT.
THESE ARE SMALL, BUT WE'RE GONNA
BLOW IT UP TO MAKE IT BIG.
I JUST WANTED YOU
TO HAVE OPTIONS.
>> YEAH, THAT'S FIRE.
I'M READY, MAN.
>> NOBODY SAID TAKE
YOUR [bleep]--
THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
LIGHT-SKINNED [bleep], MAN.
TRYING TO FRONT ON [bleep].
THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL?
YOU JUST WANT TO SHOW OFF
YOUR TATS?
>> OH, THAT'S HOT.
WHERE YOU GONNA PUT
THE HARLEM AT?
>> I WANTED TO PUT IT
ON MY RIBS.
>> YOU GOT ROOM?
>> WORD. I GOT SOME.
>> OKAY, NO, YOU'RE GOOD.
I'M GONNA BE HONEST.
THAT RIB--THE RIB IS NOT A GAME.
THAT [bleep] IS SERIOUS.
>> NAH, THIS RIGHT HERE WAS
THE CRAZIEST FOR ME, THOUGH.
>> I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT, EITHER.
>> CRAZY, YO.
>> OOH.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO
GET SOME WORK DONE.
YOU GONNA GET YOUR RIBS?
>> YEAH.
>> OH, YOU'RE ABOUT TO [bleep]
UP THE GOOD BOXERS TOO.
YOU'RE TRIPPING.
>> PERFECT.
YOU COMFORTABLE?
>> JUST GET IT.
>> * THE BEAT
* THE BEAT DOWN
>> I NEVER EXPECTED TO EVEN COME
TO NEW YORK.
I JUST DECIDED ON A THURSDAY
I WAS GONNA LEAVE,
AND I WAS HERE ON SATURDAY.
>> THAT'S WHERE YOUR POPS
IS FROM, HARLEM?
>> YEAH.
>> I KNOW.
I NEVER IMAGINED THAT IT WOULD
BE LIKE IT IS NOW.
I WORK IN ONE OF THE MOST
PROMINENT TATTOO SHOPS HERE
IN THE CITY.
>> HOO.
>> I'M BEING RECOGNIZED
JUST OFF OF MY LOOKS.
PEOPLE THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL.
DOWN SOUTH, PEOPLE THINK
I'M A REGULAR GIRL.
SO CHECK IT OUT.
THAT [bleep] IS ON FIRE.
>> YEAH, THAT [bleep] IS CRAZY.
BODY THAT.
>> I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.
ALL THIS ATTENTION,
ALL OF THIS LOVE,
ALL OF THE ENCOURAGEMENT--
IT'S A WONDERFUL THING TO GET,
ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M SO FAR AWAY
FROM HOME.
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT, YO.
>> I APPRECIATE IT, YO.
>> I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
>> I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK,
COME AND CHECK YOU.
>> YOU KNOW I GOT YOU ANYTIME.
ANYTIME YOU NEED IT.
>> FIRST FEMALE TO TAT ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
BODY THAT.
>> THAT'S WHAT'S UP.
>> LULU.
SHE REALLY DOESN'T GET THE FACT
THAT SHE'S NOT GONNA
SEE ME TOMORROW.
>> IT'S HARD, ISN'T IT, LULU,
LEAVING DADDY?
>> MM-HMM.
>> YEAH?
>> [groans]
>> BABY.
COME HERE.
TODAY'S A TOUGH DAY.
I HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO LULU.
SHE'S GOING BACK TO TEXAS
TO LIVE WITH HER MOTHER.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GO TO TEXAS,
IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HOT?
HUH?
>> [groans]
>> YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE 85
DEGREES WHEN YOU GET TO TEXAS?
>> MM-HMM.
>> YOU WANT YOUR FOOFA BOOK BAG?
THERE YOU GO.
NOW YOU'RE ROCKING, BABY.
[grunts]
>> YEAH, IT'S HEAVY.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF STUFF, LULU.
AND YOU STILL HAVE A LOT
OF STUFF HERE.
YOU GOT A WHOLE CORNER FULL OF
TOYS AND BOOKS THAT MOMMY DIDN'T
WANT TO TAKE BECAUSE THEY MAKE
TOO MUCH NOISE.
YOU READY TO GO?
>> I SAID YES.
>> COME ON.
>> LET'S GO.
>> OF COURSE WE CAN'T GO
WITHOUT MOMMY.
MOMMY'S THE ONLY REASON WHY
YOU'RE GOING.
THE HARDEST PART ABOUT THIS
WHOLE SITUATION IS KNOWING
THAT LULU HAS TO GO.
>> YOU WANT TO SIT
IN THE MIDDLE?
IN BETWEEN?
COME HERE.
DADDY'S GONNA SIT WITH YOU TOO.
>> SHE REALLY DOESN'T GET
THE FACT THAT SHE'S NOT GONNA
SEE ME TOMORROW.
>> LULU, WE'RE COMING
INTO THE AIRPORT.
WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING
ABOUT EVERYTHING?
ARE YOU GONNA BE OKAY?
>> I FEEL LIKE
I JUST WANT TO
CONVINCE YOU GUYS TO STAY.
>> AWW.
IT'S HARD, ISN'T IT, LULU,
LEAVING DADDY?
IS IT?
YEAH?
>> [groans]
THIS IS THE SADDEST DAY
OF MY LIFE.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEEP ON
TELLING MOMMY THAT YOU WANT TO
TALK TO ME AND HEAR ME, OKAY?
>> I DON'T WANT YOU TO FORGET--
I KNOW YOU--YOU BETTER
COME BACK.
>> [laughs]
>> I WILL.
>> SAY, "I'LL BE BACK
SOON, DADDY."
>> OKAY, YOU PROMISE?
>> I PROMISE.
>> YOU PINKIE PROMISE?
THERE WE GO.
OKAY.
PINKIE PROMISE.
TAKE CARE OF MOMMY FOR ME, OKAY?
>> SAY, "OKAY, DADDY."
>> OKAY, DAD.
>> BYE, BABY.
I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO.
>> I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
>> WE'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.
>> OH, MAN.
[melancholy music]
*
>> ALL I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IS,
I'M GONNA WAKE UP IN THE
MORNING, AND LULU'S NOT GONNA
BE LIKE, "DAD, DAD, I WANT TO
LAY DOWN NEXT TO YOU."
I REALLY KNOW I GOT TO BUST
MY ASS TO GET LULU BACK.
I GOT TO GET A JOB SOME WAY.
I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW,
THAT'S MY BABY.
SHE'S MY HEART.
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
>> THANK YOU!
>> WHO LOCKED THE DOOR?
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
>> YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT
YOUR [bleep] IN MY [bleep]
IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GONNA
GO DO THAT.
>> SHE HAS A SKIRT ON
WITH NOTHING UNDERNEATH.
>> LOOK, ALL JOKES ASIDE,
ALEX TRIED TO [bleep] YOU?
THAT'S SOME BULL[bleep].
BRING YOUR ASS OUTSIDE, BITCH!
OPEN THE [bleep]DAMN DOOR!
[police siren wailing]
IT'S A TATTOO CONVENTION,
NOT A [bleep] CONVENTION, OKAY?
>> SHE'LL WIN THAT.
AND IF YOU WANT HER THERE,
THEN I'M NOT GONNA BE THERE,
AND YOU CAN COUNT WHATEVER
I COULD DO THERE AS A LOSS.
>> IF ALEX COMES TO VEGAS,
THE SECOND THAT DUTCHESS
SEES HER, SHE'S GOING TO
FLIP [bleep].
