'Black Ink Crew Compton' Season 2 Episode 1: Kirkpatrick plans to open his tattoo shop

Earlier, Episode 2 of the reality series titled 'Day of Reckoning' showed the sit-down between KP and Lemeir, during which a revelation catches Ceaser by surprise and leads to new alliances with the whole IAM crew. In Episode 3, titled 'All will be revealed', the crew members, including KP, Tim Simmons, Star and Cory, are surprised by who shows up at the IAM shop willing to work. Amid all this, Vudu Dahl meets with her biological father for the first time since her childhood.

KP invites the IAM team out to celebrate their new business license, but after Tim confronts Star about her managerial performance, she snaps back unexpectedly. The show gets spiced up when Nessie Blaze confronts Lemeir Mitchell about taking her ex's side when she needed his support. The drama-filled reality show has many fights and misunderstandings that are quite immature and distract them from their plan to open the tattoo shop. If you are curious to know what happens with the crew members and how does opening day proceed, then check out the show.

'Black Ink Crew: Compton' airs every Monday on VH1 at 9 pm ET/PT.
