She is tattooing herself, from a picture, upside down. THAT is TALENT.

[@sade1.0n.18]

I couldn't chile I be crying

[@annar.69]

She is incredibly gifted. However in order to become a great portrait artist, drawing (in this case tattoing) upside down is something that you should be comfortable doing. 😊💜 they say upside down portraits end up looking more realistic actually... try doing one the regular way and then doing one upside down ;-)

[@diogo9262]

@@annar.69 thats really true. We did this in art class. When you draw straight from a picture you tend to draw eyes, mouth, nose the way you perceive them to be, not the way they actually are

[@shantelmitchell3427]

Omg, he was super jealous! Funny thing is Kat always gave him his due. She told him early on she looked up to him and even studied his work. I feel like Ryan should have been proud to be a part of her come-up. His reactions were just weird as hell.

It’s sad that Ryan sees Kat moving forward in her career as an artist as betrayal, not being loyal and not giving a f#ck. When he really should see it as her starting a new chapter for herself.

Ryan is the type of person who would bring up everything under the sun (dead relatives for example) just to manipulate these people into staying. At this point, I’m convinced he doesn’t want to see the 9MAG crew be successful 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not individually at least

[@dejenaelatrice9364]

Ryan knew he had blessings on his hands. And one thing about blessings are... THEY GROW ! Your blessing multiplies and evolve over time. Him seeing Kat do her OWN tattoo, something he couldn’t do !

[@blahblahlick4709]

I think it was just a feeling of abandonment at the time

[@KD1ME]

HIGH KEY! HIGH KEY MY GIRL! LMAO

[@blahblahlick4709]

@Amyre Gant Kat* and he*

[@TaeHyunSoo13]

Now that I’m looking back at these old clips, I think you may be right. Ryan is the type of person who thinks of the original 9MAG crew as family. However, he values that “family” to the point where he doesn’t want them to leave or do their own thing whether it be because of abandonment paranoia or out of spite. He saw how talented Kat was and he knew she would eventually leave 9MAG because her talent far surpassed what 9MAG was doing. Not to mention how messy the show and the shop was. Ryan doesn’t want his crew to be individually successful 🤷🏽‍♀️ He wants a single member’s success to be everyone’s success. Peep how he said Him, Phor, and some other members of the crew “played a part” in Kat getting that role but then when she offered to include them in the shoot, he said he didn’t want to steal her shine but he acted as if he was relieved that she included 9MAG. Unfortunately that’s not how the world works. You can’t be successful for everybody, just you. And if you have “friends” that don’t want you to be successful on your own, then they should be dropped.

[@melyssarevilla1468]

That speech about his sister and kids, that's his own trauma, his workers don't need to be weighted by his trauma. Everybody has their own problems and their own success, at the end of the day, he is a boss and his workers are trying to work for themselves one day instead of for him.

[@jaamal6369]

Right, like I was tryna see where he was going with that, like that's dad but what that gotta do with Kat

[@TaeHyunSoo13]

I think his abandonment issues came to light when he used that speech. He doesn’t want his 9MAG family to leave him. Unfortunately he takes this ideology WAY too far and holds them back from BIG opportunities just to stay with him in a tattoo shop that’s going almost no where. Basically individual shine from anyone but him is a big no in his book 😂

[@stephsteph9105]

Seeing this makes me realize how none of them had respect for each other

[@TaeHyunSoo13]

I think he did all of that to prove a petty point. People have been calling Ryan out for having abandonment issues and not being able to let individual members of the crew shine without some reference to 9MAG. Personally, I think he wanted to prove those claims false but only ended up being miserable in the end because he does not look as happy as he used to.

[@indiashante1560]

The thirsty guy in the first scene... Wow... From watching this you can tell that Katrina tried to include 9Mag and Ryan didn't want to see her progress. He wanted to keep everybody under his shop. It's kind of sad how they all drifted apart.
