Van was ousted from 9Mag.
There have been a lot of changes on “Black Ink Crew Chicago.” Ryan started a new 9Mag. And he decided to only bring Phor and Don with him. Even though he would eventually bring Bella back on board, Van and Charmaine were not invited back. Since then, Charmaine opened her own tattoo shop, 2nd City Ink.
Even after Van returned to try to make things right with Charmaine, she’s still not sure she can be friends with Van ever again. And Van’s friendships with Ryan, Don, and Phor are over. However, Van seems to be getting closer to Ceaser.
In fact, Van had some interesting things to say about Ryan to Cease on “Black Ink Crew.” After it was rumored that Ryan hooked up with Miss Kitty, Van said that Ryan isn’t loyal to anyone.
Interestingly enough, both echoed those sentiments after it was revealed that Ryan slept with his best friend’s baby momma.
Van and Cease link up for a new shop?
But outside of Ryan, it looks as if Van and Cease are about to make some business moves together. Hours ago, Van posted a text message conversation of him being told he got a lease to commercial property. In the caption, he insinuated that he’s opening up a shop in Houston. And the shop may be a new Black Ink.
Van wrote, “I know I’ve been playing a lot in Houston but I’ve also been making major f-ckn MOVES BABYYYYYYY @doughboy_sauce @ceaserblackink LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #BlackinkHouston #BossMoves”
