At the shop, the crew is preparing for a "party with a purpose" fundraiser for breast cancer awareness.

On the day of the event, the crew pulls together to make it a success despite the earlier setbacks. They have a great turnout, with many people getting tattoos to support the cause. However, things take a turn when Donna's ex-boyfriend, Moe, shows up uninvited and causes drama.
Throughout the episode, viewers are also introduced to new employees, Young Bae and Tiffany, who are trying to find their place in the Black Ink family. They each bring their own unique backgrounds and perspectives to the group, and they struggle to navigate the sometimes volatile dynamics of the shop.
Overall, "Rummy in Your Tummy" highlights the challenges and triumphs of the Black Ink Crew as they strive to balance their personal struggles with their passion for tattoo artistry and supporting their community.
