"Black Ink Crew Chicago" Season 7 premieres on VH1 October 4, 2021. (VH1)

Members of the Chicago tattoo scene return to VH1 this week.

“Black Ink Crew Chicago” Season 7 premieres on VH1 on Monday, Oct. 4, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). You can also watch it on FuboTV (free trial) and Philo. The latest episodes will also be available on Paramount+.

The reality TV series is based on a popular Chicago tattoo shop, 9MAG, owned and operated by Ryan Henry. The show explores rise and fall of the industry — and those who populate it. Audiences have gotten to know each tattoo artist at 9MAG and the show’s success has inspired “Black Ink” cast members to branch out and start their own business, such as Charmaine Bey of 2nd City Ink.

Those returning to “Black Ink Chicago” for Season 7 are Henry, Bey, Kitty Sovain aka Miss Kitty, Don Brumfield and Phor Robinson.
