Black Ink Crew New York - Season 2 (2013)

With the Black Ink staff numbers dwindling, Ceaser meets with a potential new (female) employee, who is quickly shot down by the reigning queen of the shop, Dutchess.

When Dutchess tells Ceaser the news about Puma's new tattoo shop, he is shocked and hurt by his friend's betrayal. Ceaser tattoos Jadakiss, who gets him thinking about friendship and loyalty.

AIDS activist Maria Davis visits Dutchess at the shop for an HIV/AIDS Awareness tattoo and the entire crew is moved by her inner strength and personal story. Puma defends Sassy from a rowdy group in Central Park and ends up getting in a fight.

When Dutchess and Ceaser are hours late for a photo shoot at the shop, the editor of the magazine rips them a new one. Both Ceaser and Dutchess are left to wonder how the stress of their relationship may be affecting their success.

O'S**t reaches new "baby mama" heights when he reveals that he has yet another child on the way...and now has to break the news to his first baby mama, Kathy.

In the wake of Dutchess and Ceaser's fight, Ceaser is left confused about their future together and escapes to Puma's bachelor party in Atlantic City.

Now that Puma and Ceaser have resolved their differences, Puma decides to invite Ceaser to his wedding in Jamaica, but under one condition...he has to leave Dutchess at home.

O'S**t's baby mamas, Coley and Kathy, face each other for the first time since that fateful, violent "family meal." Ceaser is, once again, torn between his friends and his woman as Dutchess reacts negatively to not being invited to Puma's wedding.

O'S**t is still missing. The crew are worried for their friend and the shop is losing customers. Meanwhile, the Jamaica crew goes cliff diving and Puma (who neglects to tell anyone that he can't swim) nearly drowns...just days before his wedding. When O'S**t reappears, Walt tears into him about friendship and responsibility. Ceaser and Dutchess finally arrive in Jamaica together...and fighting. Dutchess runs from the resort and, unbeknownst to Ceaser, ends up collapsing in the parking lot.

The crew are having the time of their lives in Jamaica but are shocked when Ceaser suddenly appears on the beach alone...with the news that he sent Dutchess packing!

When Dutchess returns to town, post heart surgery, she and Ceaser face each other for the first time since their break-up in Jamaica. Puma throws a grand opening party for his new shop, Ink 124.

After being ripped a new one by Sky for his infidelity, Ceaser faces Dutchess for the first time since she kicked him out of the apartment. Dutch proves that bad habits are hard to break when she returns to the shop and offends the crew with her cold behavior. Looking for a new lease on life, Dutchess decides to see a plastic surgeon about breast implants.

After getting caught cheating on Dutchess, Ceaser shows up at her apartment to get his things and is shocked to see the cops there. O S**t asks Puma to go ring shopping. Dutchess hosts a girl's night out and invites Sassy.

O'S**t learns some unsettling information about his case. Dutchess makes a surprise appearance at Walt's baby shower where she tries to make amends with Puma. While Dutch is working late, Ceaser makes an unexpected decision.

What better way to celebrate Sky, the "Queen of the Mixxxy's" birthday, than a full-blown, old school, mixxxy party at Black Ink? While the rest of the crew is in full party-planning mode, Dutchess confronts her fears as she goes under the knife for a boob job. O'S**t's past has come back to haunt him, once again when a mystery woman named Niecey, turns up at the shop...with a baby in tow.
