The franchise continues expanding its West Coast footprint with two of the hottest tattoo shops in Los Angeles, inspiring the series to rebrand from \u201cBlack Ink Crew: Compton\u201d to \u201cBlack Ink Crew: LA\u201d for the second midseason premiere. Katrina \u201cKat Tat\u201d Jackson, \u201cBlack Ink Crew: Chicago\u201d alum and fan-favorite, continues to work hard to take Enigma to the next level. As a thriving businesswoman and the first BIPOC woman to own a tattoo shop in Beverly Hills, Kat continues to cement her name as a well-respected artist in the industry while balancing shop renovations, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and an upcoming wedding with her NFL player fianc\xe9 Jamie Collins. Meanwhile, KP remains steadfast in his mission to show the world a side of Compton\u2019s culture that they\u2019ve never seen before, running the city\u2019s first-ever tattoo shop IAM Compton. With some original artists leaving, KP finally finds the right tattooers he can trust to take the brand to new heights.

Enigma\u2019s owner and the heartbeat of her fiercely loyal team, Katrina \u201cKat\u201d Jackson, returns balancing a growing business and family. After taking a hiatus in Orlando with her baby Jackson and NFL Patriot fianc\xe9 Jamie Collins, Kat is happily pregnant with baby number two while also gearing up to celebrate Enigma\u2019s fourth year in business. Feeling her shop has been on cruise control for too long, Kat plans to overhaul Enigma with an extensive shop remodel, new artists, new managers, big events and conventions, the works. It\u2019s go time! But it\u2019s also baby time, and Jamie is resistant to settling down and purchasing a family home near the shop in LA. As Kat realizes you can have it all but not all at once, she\u2019s forced to make some tough decisions and lean heavily on her team, who are all beginning to see that with new levels come new devils.
