MN: You and Sky have definitely had your own ups and downs in your friendship.ĭL: That’s family though. I been comment watching and she is already missed. I miss my sis.ĭL: I think it was just her time to go and do different things. MN: Who do you want to come back on the show?ĭL: Skyy. Hopefully I get the same support when it is time for me to leave the nest. I’ve supported the shop for so many years. So if we stay on the show or me and Alex venture off into our own thing, it’ll still be love. Of course I am “Black Ink” to the bone but hey, I’m in spinoff mode right now. MN: With you pausing on tattooing what does that mean for your future with the show?ĭL: I don’t know. It’ll be a combined nail and tattoo shop. That is really the toughest question right now because me and Alex have a shop that we have a business license and plan for and the only missing part of the plan is location.ĭL: It’s been in the works for at least a year now.ĭL: It’s called Claws-N-Ink. I feel like New York is one the cities impacted the most especially with businesses. Obviously, New York is a first choice but New York is so very different after COVID. MN: With any of the businesses you want to open, are they going to be in New York City or your hometown of Cleveland?ĭL: I’m not ruling anything out. I’m just taking it as a sign that maybe I should take a step back from tattooing and explore the other many talents that God gave me. But for me it was a blessing in disguise and I trust God every step of my journey. But it’s like everybody just wants to dwell on that and when I say everybody I mean Ceasar… mostly Ceaser. That is a part of why I paused from tattooing because I had f******* major mistake which I was able to fix. MN: How do you handle your co-stars coming down so hard on you about your tattoo skills? I know it must be tough for you.ĭL: It is tough. Eventually I want to have a lounge and restaurant but the main focus is launching my hair line, Muva Unii. I’m looking to broaden that part of my journey. Then, secondary to that I love food and I love cooking so I’ve been doing infused dinners, CBD infused dinners. MN: Tell me about the ventures you are exploring outside of tattooing.ĭL: Right now I am focused on my hair line that is coming out bundles, lace front and wigs. I can tattoo later in life but there are certain things I want to get done now. Everything I wanted to do for the past couple years, I am just like the time is now. Finding my way outside of tattooing has become a little difficult.ĭL: I just feel like this past 2020 has really shown me things can stop at any moment and I want to cease life and grab it by the rings. I know everybody saw in the super trailer that I am going to be taking a break from tattooing and that decision has left me with a lot of anguish this season. So it was definitely different not being in the same location that we’ve been in for the past eight seasons. So we even took our talents down to Atlanta for a little bit. Our shop at 113th is closed so we are in a new space.
