On the Black Ink Crew: Chicago episode “One Time at Adult Camp,” tattoo artists Lily and Reese confront Don and the rest of the Loyal Ink crew about where things stand with Junior. (In Jamaica, Junior got violently drunk and tries to attack security; the producers removed him from the house.) After the violent episode, Lily accused Don of defending Junior and supposedly quit. Before approaching Don and the rest of Loyal Ink, Lily tells the cameras, “I don’t really give a f— if they want me on the team or not, but they’re going to hear what I have to say.” Lily admits to “feeling hurt” about “everyone’s love affair with Junior.” Don says he had Lily’s back until she told him he can’t hang out with anyone (Junior) she doesn’t hang out with. Don kids that that would leave him with about two friends. Reese would be one.
Reese Hilburn is a California girl and she proves it with a giant California Life tattoo across her stomach (see photo below; and yes that’s Hugh Jackman as X-Men’s Wolverine on her thigh!). Reese runs a private studio in San Diego, California. She says she received her formal training at Academy of Art University in Los Angeles. On social media, she warns Black Ink Crew: Chicago fans: “Not everyone will get the same version of me. One person might tell you I’m an amazing beautiful soul. Another person might say I’m a cold hearted asshole. Believe them both. I act Accordingly.” Black Ink Crew: Chicago airs Wednesdays at 8pm on VH1.
