Hey! Let's Talk About Vasectomies!
On this past Monday’s episode of Black Ink Crew – a show about a group of individuals who own and (many times horribly) operate a tattoo shop in Harlem – cast member O’Sh*t (this is literally his nickname), decides to get a vasectomy after thinking that he’d gotten a fourth woman pregnant after she showed…
