A woman who was a fan of Black Ink Crew decided to get a tattoo at the Lennox Ave shop and she got way more than she bargained for because she landed in the hospital!!!

Wait until you find out what happened to the woman who got a tattoo at Black Ink Tattoo Parlor on the flip – its so disgusting you might want a barf bag….

Black Ink Crew is already in the 7th episode of season 3,but before the new season kicked off a customer and fan of the show is now suing the tattoo parlor, claiming they used dirty needles!

OMG, we love our tats, but you have to watch them take everything out of sterile packing before committing to getting inked. It appears, Loni Tate, 31, ended with her being hospitalized with an infection and permanent scarring.

She took a trip to Harlem’s Black Ink Tattoo Studio, which is featured on a reality TV show to get a new tattoo, but instead she landed in the hospital.

New York Daily News reports:

Tate, the tattoo aficionado, explains she went to the Lenox Ave. shop for her sixth tattoo because she’s a fan of “Black Ink Crew,” the VH1 show about the business, but got a serious infection instead.

“I have never been through anything like that.”

Loni had gotten a tattoo at Black Ink before, a butterfly flying out of a skull on her arm in 2014.

She said:

“I was very happy with it.”

But her return trip three months later for a custom rose design on her forearm by another artist turned into a much thornier experience, she said. The artist who inked her was, Kelvin Cepeda. He said he had to leave for “an event” about three hours in, and told her to come back the next day so he could finish up, Tate said. When she came back she said that she was surprised to see he had a tattoo gun already set up when she walked in.

She explained:

“They normally open it and set it up in front of you.”

She went ahead and let him work, and later she said that the ink then started swelling and oozing, and Tate wound up getting hospitalized for four days while doctors battled a deep infection. Tate said she now believes Cepeda used a dirty tattoo pen on her. She’s suing the shop for unspecified damages, while her lawyer, Mark Shirian, is calling for stricter regulations for city tattoo shops.

Her attorney, Shirian said:

“People need to understand that a tattoo procedure is the equivalent of undergoing minor surgery.”

“More stringent regulations must be adopted immediately in order to protect the health and well-being of New Yorkers.”

This is the third lawsuit brought against Black Ink.

Another action earlier this month involved permanent scarring left on the left breast of a woman from South Carolina who’d asked Black Ink artists to cover up her old unicorn and horseshoe tattoos with fruits and vegetables to reflect her new interest in cooking, PIX11 reported.

Tate hasn’t gotten any tats since her incident, but said she will.

Loni said:

“Don’t be afraid to get a tattoo — just be cautious.” 

“Make sure the artist opens everything in front of you and everything is sterile.”

Black Ink did not respond to requests for comment.
