The spin-off show followed a similar format to the original, showcasing staff drama and daily operations in 9Mag. After airing in 2015, the show found enough success to continue running for at least five seasons, with no signs of stopping any time soon. The show uses the name Charmaine Walker for her, and she previously had a romantic fling with one of the employees of the shop Don Brumfield who is now married to another. Other cast members of the show include the owner Ryan Henry, tattoo artist Van Johnson and Phor Brumfield. Another tattoo artist who joined the show in its fourth season is Liliana “Lily” Barrios. There were other main cast members who have since left the show and the shop.

The show also features people involved in the life of the staff members, as recurring guests; her boyfriend named Neek Bey has appeared in the show since the third season. Other tattoo artists also recur, while other managers and assistants have appeared from time to time as guests. The show runs for at least 10 episodes per season, with the longest being the third season with 18 episodes. Charmaine’s wealth has increased significantly thanks to the opportunity.

Recent Endeavors and Controversies

While she is busy working on the show annually, Charmaine also manages a lot of the shop’s endeavors outside of the show. This mainly has to do with events featuring prominent tattoo artists from around the world visiting the shop. The shop also hosts parties which most of the staff attend, which are often held within Chicago. She has toured with the cast and crew, appearing in public events to promote the show.

While her fame has increased significantly thanks to the opportunities she’s had, “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” has also been notorious for attracting controversy from time to time. One of their recent controversies occurred in 2019, when a man sued the production company along with four of the show’s cast members for injuries he sustained while attending a party that was featured in the show. According to the victim, he was attacked by four of the cast members of the show without provocation after the production company gave them large amounts of alcoholic beverages.  He is seeking more than $50,000 from each of the cast members. This comes just after the previous season, when police had to be called to investigate property damage, after one of the cast members started shooting inside the 9Mag store with a gun.
