Release date

'Black Ink Crew: Chicago Season 7' will premiere on October 4, 2021.

Where to watch?

The series will be available to stream on VH1 as of October 4, 2021.

Plot

With Season 7 of 'Black Ink Crew: Chicago', we can be certain that there are three major storylines we'll be looking at: Kitty Sovain-Kitty, Rachel Leigh-Ryan Henry, and Charmaine Walker-Neek Bey with their newborn, Glenda. Kitty and Steven's unfinished date is going to be interesting, given how invested Steven seems.  Although, Kitty didn't confirm if she'd go out with Steven again but she didn't deny it either. So there's still hope for the two, if and when the cast members return for Season 7. 

We also know that Rachel and Ryan were in a difficult spot in the previous season, with their relationship fizzling to nothing. Right now, their son is their only connecting link, and although they agreed to co-parent last season, the pandemic seems to have changed everything. Will they get back together this season. We'll have to wait and watch!

The official synopsis says: "'Black Ink Crew: Chicago' follows a passionate and ambitious group of tattoo artists and friends through the unforgiving streets of Chicago as they band together to create new identities for themselves, their families, and their business".
