Phor and Don are focused on the future.
Don is preparing to head to a body-building competition. Phor is disappointed that he won’t be able to attend. He has a show that day. Regardless, both men are grateful that 9 Mag is doing well enough that they can pursue other passions.
Things work out well for Don as he wins the championship and can now compete as a professional athlete.
Will Miss Kitty return to 9 Mag?
Kitty is also focused on doing her own thing. She and Steven are looking for the right space for their new tattoo shop in London.
After Charmaine has decided to quit the show, her artist Ceci starts working at 9 Mag. Draya still isn’t a fan. It doesn’t take long before she and Ceci argue as people question Ceci’s loyalty to Charmaine. Before things get bad, Ceci apologizes to Draya for their past issues. And Draya believes they can move forward.
Draya comes up with the idea to convince Ryan to let Kitty return to the shop to be Draya’s apprentice. This way Draya and Prince can teach Kitty how to tattoo. However, Ryan isn’t sure about this idea because he and Kitty aren’t even on speaking terms.
Kitty doesn’t want to work for anyone ever again.
Ryan and Kitty do end up having a conversation about her returning to 9 Mag. Kitty says she doesn’t really want to come back and be an apprentice. After everything that happened with Ceaser and Charmaine, Kitty only wants to work for herself.
When Ryan is asked his real thoughts about Kitty opening up a tattoo shop in a green screen interview, he says he has the same thoughts he had when Charmaine opened up 2nd City Ink. He doesn’t think Charmaine or Kitty know enough about tattooing to own shops.

All I know is that Ryan was serving with his various hairstyles on tonight’s episode. 😍🧡 The guy is gorg – period! Kitty’s still in love with him and I don’t blame her.
He is so fine. LOL
