Settling into his throne as the King of Harlem, Ceaser expands his tattoo legacy by opening a brand new Black Ink shop at 125th Street in Harlem.

With Dutchess back in town, Ceaser realizes their relationship isn't in a good place and when his past comes back to haunt him, things with Dutchess begin to crumble.

Can both shops remain above water with all of the pressure and drama? Watch it all unfold on the season premiere of VH1's Black Ink Crew" on Wednesday, January 18 AT 8PM.
