The 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Cast Reflects On The Beauty And Pain Associated With Their Most Memorable Tattoos

You don't know these people until you know the stories behind their tattoos.

The cast of Black Ink Crew Chicago reveals why certain tattoos are important to them in Black Ink Crew Chicago: Tattoo Tales. All of the cast members explain that they have a ton of tattoos – some of them have too many to keep track of. But they each have a tattoo that stands out because of its significance to their life.

Van and Ryan open up about tattoos they got to express the pain they felt when their family members were killed. Phor says he got a tattoo of Egyptian queen Nefertiti to honor his mother and convince her to finally approve of one of his tattoos. Kat uses her tattoo that many people tell her looks like Wonder Woman as a source of pride and strength.
