Black Ink fans are confused over shops

The show is also still airing on VH1 and the latest drama on the show has got many fans taking to Twitter.

Lots of people tweeted their confusion over which of the artists are allowed to have their own shops during episode 5 on November 15.

Nychelle is a newbie to Black Ink Crew season 10 who replaces Krystal. Krystal left Black Ink after being given an ultimatum from Ceaser in relation to having her own tattoo studio. But this has left fans confused as Nychelle also has her own studio.

One tweeted: “So why doesn’t ceaser have a problem with the new girl owning a shop but Tom and Crystal cant?”

Some fans replied to the tweet to explain that Nychelle Elise didn’t begin her tattooing career at Black Ink.
