Jems, one of the tattoo artists on-staff, is fully focused on his task at hand: drawing a facial portrait of the late Nipsey Hussle with laser-like precision. Ordinarily, this would be a day just like any other in this notorious tattoo shop.īut this isn’t just another ordinary of the Harlem division of “Black Ink” draws a Nipsey Hussle tattoo.
The manager of the Harlem store, Feezi, is in a tizzy, scuffling and scrounging to get paperwork lined up, herding the impatient customers to their seats, fluttering around the place and barking orders at the tattoo artists on staff on this rather temperate Saturday afternoon. This isn’t something that’s unusual, on its own - the popularity of the hit VH1 show, Black Ink Crew, and all its ancillary spin-offs have put the chain of tattoo shops in a constant state of industry.
The line to get to the Black Ink shop on 125th Street in Harlem, New York, stretches around the block.
