Although Star may now be getting attention thanks to her role on Black Ink Crew: Compton, she has actually been building an impressive social media following for quite some time prior to appearing on the show. With almost 300,000 followers on Instagram, Star is certainly getting a lot of attention outside of her work on VH1.

Star joined the cast of the show during Season 2 in February 2022. During her introductory clip on the show at that time, the reality star explained that she actually owned her own tattoo shop at just 16 years old! We won't get into the legality behind such an endeavor, but it's clear that Star has had an affinity for body ink for quite a while. This is exemplified further by the array of beautiful tattoos that she has covering most of her body.

Star is also the owner of Barbie’s Hair Extensions, an upscale hair boutique. When she isn't working with hair or tattoos, she also models and takes on various brand endorsement deals, as seen on her Instagram.

As for some more personal tidbits about Star, she told fans during her intro clip on the show that she has "probably dated your favorite ballplayers," but didn't give any further details. What we do know is that Star dated rapper Safaree Samuels a few years back, per HollywoodLife, and she supposedly physically abused him at the time.

Star has also had a pretty close call with death in the past, as she has been shot and almost lost her tongue. In a 2022 video, she explained that she was shot in the face and had to have her tongue reattached. Star thanked fans at the time for their overwhelming support and words of encouragement as she navigated the healing process.
