The show follows Ceaser’s relationship with his employees, both past and present, as he expands Black Ink. His sister, Tiffany Winter, also worked in the shop during season 2. With the help of his crew, Ceaser took over the shop in 2011 and salvaged Black Ink and made it into a legitimate business. When Black Ink Crew first premiered in 2013, Ceaser and his artists were facing eviction! It wasn’t easy because Ceaser’s boss had lost the money they got from signing up for the show.

After much persuasion, Ceaser agreed to star in VH1’s new show, Black Ink Crew. They hired new artists and began growing.Ĭeaser then appeared in a show with rapper Cory Gunz and he caught the attention of TV producers. With only Ceaser and Black Ink’s original owner left, the shop started anew. Ceaser saw that his former colleague was not only doing major artwork, but he was also tattooing some famous people, too.Ĭeaser then joined the Black Ink Tattoo Studio and stayed there, even as the other artists left for bigger opportunities. When Black Ink was first set up, it was his friend who began working there.

That led to the start of Black Ink Tattoo Studio. But he wasn’t just satisfied doing gang-related tattoos he wanted to make a mark in the tattoo industry. And then he was tattooing professionally in just three short months!Ĭeaser quit his job and started working at a tattoo shop. Whoever recreated Ceaser’s artwork on people would teach him everything about tattooing. He would come up with art for clients who would then get a tattoo artist to recreate Ceaser’s drawing on their body. Seeing his friend make a lot of money inking people reignited Ceaser’s artistic ambitions. He initially worked as an art director and graphic designer but wasn’t satisfied. He has a Bachelor’s degree in visual communication, including courses in graphic design. He wanted to be a good father figure for his daughter, so he left the street life behind and went back to school. Ceaser was still hustling on the streets when he became a dad.
