'Black Ink Crew': Ryan and Rachel may not get back together as she only wants to keep him on a leash, say fans

Why did Rachel have a change of heart when she had made it clear that she wasn't interested in Ryan

Ryan Henry and Rachel Leigh have a history. Ideally, that should help people get back stronger but they have not been able to achieve that for reasons unknown. Meanwhile, fans think that the moment Ryan tries to move on in his life is when Rachel magically reappears with newer promises.

Ryan seemed interested in Kitty Sovain and they had moved ahead in their relationship. She moved cities and he packed his shop in a bag so that she could get inked at her home. There was a good level of understanding until Charmaine Walker and Neek Bey's baby gender reveal event happened and everything went downhill from there. Kitty was at the party too and was hoping to catch up on his good friend with whom she had created some very special memories. But Ryan gave her a silent treatment. He didn't speak with her and made it look like they don't know each other. 

This offended her a great deal but all Ryan was trying to do was making sure that Rachel's attention was on him. She was at the party too and it would be surprising if Ryan had even looked at someone else. However, they are now together and are planning a vacation. But the question is how long will this last because Rachel had made it clear that she wasn't interested in him. So why the change of heart?

As mentioned earlier, viewers think it is her way of ensuring that Ryan is always available for her.

"Rachel don't want Ryan until he's into some else. He f***s whomever he was using as a place holder to run when Rachel calls. Dude is fine but he ain't worth dealing with whatever game him and Rachel are playing," a fan commented. While another shared: "I feel like Rachel keep Ryan on a leash and only want him when he start messing with somebody else! Where was she when he was sleeping in the shop?! He start messing with Kit and boom here she go. #BlackInkChi."

"Is It Me Or Does It Seem Like Since SEASON 1, RACHEL Does not Seem Interested In Ryan Like Their Interactions With Each Other Be So CRINGY To Me #BlackInkCHI," a viewer commented. "Ryan & Rachel’s relationship is complicated AF and it is just best if you stay out of that. #BlackInkCHI," another posted.
