I actually really like how his old stuff shows through the negative space....
It's going to look like crap when the fresh black fades and blends in with the old tattoos.
@@FirstLast-sw1gxAbsolutely, it's just gonna look like a massive mess.
You're a wonderful speaker to listen to. Love hearing your rationality and insight.
I think your concerns with the presentation of this change in medium can be found in almost every industry. The rapid commercialization of every aspect of life contributes to a more shallow mindset across almost everything.
His Salvador Dali back piece was stunning. The shit on his arms had to go tho😂
It’s crazy to think that you’re one of the blackout pioneers. And now seeing celebrities getting blackouts has to be pretty wild for you as someone who helped get it to a mainstream level. I have also noticed every well known black out tattooist follows you on IG lol
I’ve had discussions with almost all the Blackwork “masters” some more than others, hoode and I are in dms pretty frequently still to this day haha, most of them are very down to earth guys.
@@EphemeralRemy Masters being the keyword
Definitely must be an interesting position to be in.
@@EphemeralRemy yeah & it’s pretty cool to know that hoode is the one doing a lot of these people’s black work lol well Kat Von Dee especially. I noticed Hoode still uses the coil machine too. He’s a true tattooist lol
I am not a fan of MGK at all. I think he's a clown. However I honestly really like this tattoo, especially considering how much better it is than the work underneath it. Seeing as how he's no stranger to tattoos, I respect his decision with this one. Now he just needs to cover those god awful bricks on his stomach.
I feel ya on the whole this being a movement bit now since it’s becoming mainsteam. Cuz whn I started to do my blackout sleeve 5 yrs ago I did it cuz I hadn’t heard of no one else doin it and I wanted to do something drastic and different. I actually had the idea way back in 2009. But again thanx for all the advice. These vids has really relaxed my mind on what to expect. Keep it real remy.
I'm not knowledgeable about tattoos but I appreciate that you did this video. You have the experience and knowledge about tattoos including these particular tattoos. Your words of caution and advice I feel will help people to think things through first. So much more is involved than just deciding you want to get one because it looks cool and is trendy.
That’s what I’ve made most of this channel to be about to be honest, there’s not a lot of information out there for people, and unfortunately stuff like this will always get people in over their heads.
@@EphemeralRemy That's great to hear you are doing that 👍. Recently, I have seen videos on TikTok where people are self-tattooing themselves on livestreams literally whole body parts such as their arms and legs including doing lettering. The channels they are on are known to have a huge following of kids and teens. That is so dangerous. A few were tattoo artists but they never should have been doing that. There was no advice given to the audience prior to or afterwards, they just immediately started tattooing themselves. You could see all the younger people in chat say how cool it was and that they wanted to get one. I just knew deep inside some of them were going to try this at home themselves. Others had never even done a tattoo and were self-tattooing their very first ones live too. I was so shocked. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Thanks for what you are doing in educating people on what is the proper way of doing things and what is not and about all aspects of tattooing ❤️💯.
my man was SPITTIINN, god damn. so many good points & true af. deff a dope tattoo but given the reason/timing it does rub it the wrong direction
It looks a ton better than all of the patch work he had🤷🏽
I don’t disagree
I disagree patch work looked good on him because most of it was already filled up with fillers too.
That’s amazing love it
Mgk just struggles with a lot mentally feeling like no will listen to him and the nonstop hate he always gets for just living his life. Hes very relatable. You should hear his story
The art is good
Love your work and your outlook. Too many sheepole that follow. Keep up the hard work.
so happen for MGK. his tattoo looks so good! I've been trying to put people on blackwork for a minute and im glad we got a big name on it!
We had enough big names, this will get a lot of bad attention, and cause a lot of dangerous sessions as I already mentioned, go watch my video “the butchers blackout” you’ll be seeing a lot more of those because of this
When he released his second pop punk album, MGK wrote a song about all the scenesters and gatekeepers complaining about him. One of the lines went, 'Leave the scene you're ruining it!' which will most likely be applicable to the reaction he'll get from the tattoo community. History repeats itself, I guess.
It doesn’t much bother me what he does with this reaction, my opinions are what they are, I also have been one to break down barriers for people in this industry, this is not gate keeping, so much as it is an awareness of what this moment means. It is a capitalization on the culture, or a selling out of it for a financial incentive more than anything in my eyes.
It appears as though he got terrified of the color pink😂
@@EphemeralRemypeople that accuse you of being a gatekeeper I wish I could slap them through the the comment section! People don't understand even when you tell them word for word letter by letter with captions and repeat yourself you never going to reach the morons they're huffing their own farts
@@JuggaloNY huh? His music video he released yesterday (with these tats in them) with a lot of shots with a pink aesthetic… why would he include that if he is terrified of it? Your incorrect assumption literally makes no sense.
You’re not wrong
Do you think the photo is enhanced at all to make it look better than it is?
Absolutely guaranteed yes
I’ll never be a fan of mk, not even close.., but I think this blackout is killer, regardless of the reason, that we can only speculate anyway.
Edit:
I have to ask.. if this blackout was presented anonymously, nameless and faceless, would your opinion be the same?
The work is fine, as I said.
Cool man, your progress is mind blowing, I’ve learned a ton from you, this channel is awesome
I’d still think the work was good, I said as much in the video, I feature random anonymous people every week multiple times a week. The issue is that the public wouldn’t see it as anything if it were, that’s what’s wrong here. This work is done everyday, and no one bats an eye.
Can you please tell the name of the tattoo wrap/ gauze you used?
It’s just basic blue medical bandage
Dude your tats are some the best I ever seen. Just for your info mgk tats were done over a few weeks. I think he didn't think it through at all. One sleeve would of been cool but both arms and half chest was overkill.
Let’s go!
🍻 this one’s not going to be for everyone haha
He had suspenders tattooed on him...😂😂😂😂
Ngl I thought they looked alright kinda unique imo I’m not a mgk fan btw 😂 just saying I didn’t think the suspenders were that bad they looked alright with the grenade and the banksy image
I know I am just a grumpy person, but I dont like this. I have been considering a blackout over a fucked up tattoo for over a year, and just recently decided I want to do it. Now MGK release some professionally taken image where he is posing with his blackout, like it is done for modeling or something. There is just something with this that feels very irritating to me. Disclaimer here is that MGK has always come across as some kind of a poser to me.
He definitely gives off that energy.
Just look at the evolution of his music and you are very correct
He been playing rock/pop punk stuff before he was ever famous... Most people get this wrong. Not a huge fan, but i never understood all the hate towards the guy.
Absolutely Perfect

Well stated
An Alistair Crowley reference wow
and yet it happened anyway...
@@SaberToothGary bit of an oxymoron considering so many people follow Aleister Crowley's teachings
I think he is amazing and talented , surely we all have the right to express ourselves how we want . Remy you are brilliant , watched you for years but think you got this a little bit wrong
You’re entitled to that opinion, but I don’t think so. This would have been useful many years ago, but now it’s just a publicity stunt
Amazing and talented idk about that he only became famous for trying to diss Eminem’s daughter in 2017 not for actually having any significant talent.
Remy! U r the Goat of the blackout game!
🍻
@@notchback93dude had songs with big name artists before that. Just because that's when you heard about him doesn't mean everyone else did too. I don't care one way or the other about any of this, but it's weird to think he was a nobody before he dissed Eminem. If he was a no one it never would've reached Em. I also think it's stupid to care what someone else puts on their body. Y'all need to just let people live their lives
The first big blackout I can ever remember seeing is Tim C from RATM. Waaaay back
He apparently did 13 sessions of between 3-6 hrs each. Looks pretty good to me
some of the first 'famous' black out sleeves i saw was the frontman from joyce manor, a model that was getting work done by simon erl in the uk and a bit later the frontman from bmth, these are all over 10 years old
i agree people that havent been around tattoo culture or built up some resilience in life should be weary about getting huge blackwork
i will say at least he didnt get it done by a bad artist, if people are going to copy celebrities at least they arent copying something done terribly
But they’ll have a very hard time getting those results the same way/ with the same effort
I don't know who he is other than he dates Megan Fox but honestly if the guys happy that's all matters I got my first tattoo at 50 now 56 this year on 27 and honestly wished I'd done it earlier. Tattoo are like going the pub anyone saying about there having one is a lie it's an addictive so good for him ;)
I was personally inspired by my Neuro Divergency. I have also been wearing only black clothes my whole life and am 40.
More passes than a offer of a free download of machine gun Kelly’s new album.
😂 best one yet
I saw my first blackout sleeve about 20 years ago, I was intrigued but also kind of frightened.
My first encounter with blackout was bear belmares back in the mid 90s
@EphemeralRemy darn, yeah he old school. My friends brother blacked out his arm, he left trust no one down the side or something I can't remember exactly we were drinking and playing poker.
I also met my first fruit-atarian that same night. Thankfully, I was drinking, kept my sanity lol.
Haha sounds like a wild time, cheers
I wonder if it goes on to his back or any other photos? Did the artist say it was done in one session?
It looks fresh, already the said it was 13 6 hour sessions, but there’s no way the media kept it right that long, also the work looks entirely fresh in the photo, that’s not how healed Blackwork looks, my opinion? They won’t admit to it but he was almost certainly tattooed under anesthesia in one session, like the rest of the celebrities getting tattooed these days, it’s the new trend.
@@EphemeralRemy holy cow it took that many hours😆 I agree with everything you said watch everyone get black work done now… and for the anaesthesia… what a joke that is… cheers thanks for all your educated thoughts
Thanks for watching, and yea that’s way too long for that much blackout work to be honest, and that’s spoken from someone who’s had hundreds over hours of Blackwork
“That Ronnie Radke guy” . lol . lol love Falling in reverse .
Not a fan of that sort of music, so I only know him from the tattoo work
I sent this to you the other day
First time seeing but my wife told me about it yesterday. I’m sure you don’t remember but takes me back to the Kat Von D comment convo we had few months ago., I just am getting to the Von D section of video…I should really wait until commenting.
Haha it’s all good
Filip Leu recently said black out used to be a complete last resort when things were to hard to laser or the cost of that was too expensive. Now it’s for people that don’t have any imagination but want to be heavily tattooed
You certainly cover ground faster this way, but it was definitely used a last resort for me originally
I agree with your statement in this video we will see a huge uptick in people getting blackouts done on fresh skin.
@@notchback93 "dont have any imagination?" LOTS of tattoos ( non black outs) are very basic concepts, repeat concepts ideas. If anything blackouts nowadays are more creative, "imaginative". Look at Remys work, look at the depth it gives to ppl who combine blackwork with other ink, or use blackwork as a basis to build on other tattoos. That's much more creative imho or "Using Imagination" as you say than your typical colored or black and gray tattoo. Just my opinion and it means nothing but saying "now its for people who don't have any imagination" is quite strange.
@@mike8147I get the thought process of the comment though. Blackouts are much different than a typical little tattoo, especially with the way you’re perceived and just doing a blackout with nothing else is a weird route to go IMO. I waited 8 years for my sleeve and it was a coverup because I knew it’s what I wanted versus laser. Blackouts don’t require a lot of thought, however, if doing something cool with negative space would be cool.
@@mike8147he's probably talking about people who just have a random body part tatooed black. Obviously certain forms of blackwork are creative. However just getting a random limb tatooed black is not.
I remember when all the cool guys were getting tribal tats.
I have 2 biggish tattoos. I kind of want some geometric with blackout around it!
Go for it!
Oliver Sykes did his arm black in 2014, MGK collabed with him on his last album. I bet you there were conversations about the tattoo during that time I'm willing to bet you.
I am embarrassed that I know this, but you may not be aware that MGK tried to do a big cover-up on his chest and shoulders in the last couple years, and it ended up looking like unidentifiable crap. So that may have been the impetus for the black out.
I didn’t know that, but I still think the blackout work came at a very opportune moment.
Also he has multiple layers on his chest and 1 arm already so would presume he isn't happy with what he had
His black work also reminds me of Leo Zulueta’s work a bit, he’s done a lot of tribal black work since the early 90s that took up a lot of real estate, and it wasn’t even for cover up reasons.
Earning my blackout piece has been a very big deal for me, and I do admit, I'm bothered by this for a lot of reasons. And good luck to all of the people who are now going to run out to get a blackout tattoo, and have no idea how intense healing blackout work is compared to any other work (at least that is my experience). And, these model-esque images are going to give the general population the idea that it looks just like this healed, and that you won't possibly need multiple passes.
Yep, everything about the way this was presented is incredibly problematic, and works against everything I’ve been trying to educate people on with my platform for years, terrible signaling
He said in his new song that he impulsively covered up his art because of a mental breakdown. I think that reality really sucks bc now you have to stare at it the rest of your life, you can’t cover up a black out, you can add to it or tattoo on it like you Remy. It just doesn’t sound like he really intended or wanted to do it, just acted out of emotion, now he has to be reminded of it everyday when he looks in the mirror. I love black outs, I really do, I’m covered in tattoos head to toe, I’m actually a heavily tattooed person but this ain’t it. This shit doesn’t look good at all. The saturation of the black does, but that’s about it.
Davey Havok is another dude who had great tattoos and blacked his arms out the lead singer of AFi.
I'm so dumb when I first glanced at this I thought it said Aflac. 😄
I heard Davey Havoks house is painted black
Who is he?
A rapper, among other things. My son liked his music a few years ago, lets me know I’m getting older haha
As someone that has a full color body suit and currently blacking everything out, this is a total bummer to me. Last thing I want is to be compared to MGK
The kat von d associations were bad enough, haha
tom gable/laura jane grace was another early adopter of black out
My first experience with Blackwork was seeing bear belmarez in the mid 90s, lovely fella. Too bad he isn’t with us today.
You know damn well that boy got general anesthesia to get that done
I’ve got my hunch he did too, but not admitting to it
I’m gonna lose my mind when someone says at my local dive bar “I like your MGK tattoos” like they said “ I like your Tom Macdonald hair “ when I use to have a mohawk
I don’t blame you
I had an old tattoo blacked out about 20 years ago, because MGK has now had blackout, watch folks with no tattoos get huge blackout pieces just to follow the trend
It’s going to happen for sure
By the way how is your blackout looking after 20 years, any touchups? How big it was?
Here’s another reason I think he did the black out, his chest , shoulders and upper arms had cover ups on them, in my opinion they did not look very good.
I think the opening point of this becoming mainstream and just randos with no tattoos getting it because MGK got it is a great point to be had. I really didn't like that he had gotten a blackout tattoo but you can't gatekeep this stuff and it makes sense considering how heavily tattooed he was for this to be the natural progression for him I mean Kat von D also has a blackout so was it already going to be mainstream 🤷♀️
My issue is more in the portrayal of it as fashion like changing his shirt, it will inspire further madness, and we’ll end up with a lot more people getting hurt trying to “change their shirt” overnight. Go watch “the butchers blackout” video I posted on this channel for a grim reminder of why this probably shouldn’t be main stream or taken lightly
@@EphemeralRemy definitely watch the butchers blackout after this video. I don't think it's something people think about when getting tattooed is that you're breaking open your skin and there's a healing process so you don't want to do too much at once so that you can properly heal.
I want NOTHING to do with "celebrities". I will keep my thoughts on MGK to myself cause sooner or later, if you havent already, your eyes will open and you will see for yourself. Spot on Remy with your statements on this. Thank you for making me laugh, its been awhile. God bless bud!
Much love my friend, some of us are seeing clearly at least!
That’s cool design work, though. It’s urban and punk with a social conscience.
As I said, the work and design are fine
Anyone tagged you yet in the guy whos blacked his full head out its pritty solid tbf
Of course, I’ve actually already filmed a video about that too, that is a far more extreme tattoo than this.
He actually did “re-brand” his name on his songs on all platforms used to be listed as Machine Gun Kelly and now they all say “mgk” ala Puff Daddy/P Diddy or Kanye/Ye style
He got his button tatted
Thats funny that you mentioned Ronnie Radke, That who I saw blacked out first, really at a pretty quick pace..one day hes all tats next hes all black, and I wondered why would you do that, I hadnt found your work yet, so didnt know you could go over it, Im old and all my life was told once youve done a black out thats it...get a girls name, youll end up blacking it out and then its stuck that way....then another guy on TikTok directed me your way and I was like oh wow this guy is doing what they said cant be done......and it not even hero worship but your work is a major game changer for a lot of people and people cant help but look to your work to see whats possible and what they can aspire to do if they really want to..
Yep all that blackout on him was inspired by my work whether I knew of him at the time or not haha, it’s a weird feeling. Cheers
The splash on Ronnie’s face is super sick.
I'm wondering, I've been following you for a while on IG and stuff and I think you're a pioneer in your own kind for extreme body modifications. You claim that you don't like to be idolized or to get "clout", yet your rhetoric heavily gravitates around recognition as well as acknowledgement about who did what first. And I find this contradictory, in the sense that if you really don't give a shit about clout and recognition, why bother arguing that the artist that did Kat Von D's Blackwork was inspired by your project? I don't say you're wrong, I think you're totally right, but it seems there is an aspect of your point of view I'm not getting and I would be interested to hear your take on that.
Cheers,
Hoode was definitely not inspired by my project for his work on kat von d, and I never claimed so either. I care about building a platform, but I also don’t care if I offend people in my work to do so, it’s not so complicated, I don’t pretend to do anything to be likable, if people want to watch along that’s fine, but not expected or really the main focus of my work, rather a byproduct. Nothing disgusts me more than hero worship, and I myself am no one to idolize, I’m just a guy who enjoys being tattooed, and experimenting.
There's a difference between idolization and recognition of those who have come before us. Imo more about respect. Nowadays that's a concept that has slipped the cultures' consciousness. Think about it in very general terms when's the last time that you have heard somebody make a mistake and earnestly apologize for it?
Even if that step is done is the apology accepted and recognized?
From what I can tell not often.
Unless it's like a knee-jerk reaction apology. For example, get bumped into by somebody at the grocery store and get a quick "sorry"
💫✨🌟🖤🌟✨💫
don't let me go lyrics - "I had a breakdown and tatted my entire body except one line"
Most of his, if not all is healed. And it was done in multiple sessions.
Nothing in that photo is healed, if it is it’s heavily edited. That’s not what healed Blackwork looks like. Don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining please 😂
I'll just wait.....
Absolutely cannot stand him or megan fox. They're both 2 of the fakest people alive. The first blackout tattoo i remember seeing was the bassist for rage against the machine tim. I remember loving the way it looked
The first I seen was bear belmares, two full black sleeves in the mid 90s, lovely guy, had a very positive impact on me.
Looks better than what you did to your ears , wtf
Honestly I’m really bias on this but I don’t think he took inspiration from anybody to do blackout, he didn’t do it because it’s popular now he did it because he’s always done his own thing and what he wants to do, this one was for himself and nobody else although yes fans will start blacking out because of him and because he’s an “icon”. Respectfully gotta disagree with your opinion but I understand where your coming from
He would have done this long ago if that were the case, celebrity’s all do a lot more feeling out their audience than most people realize, most times the “character” they portray is pretty carefully controlled, it’s not nearly as free as it may seem. Public personas are like acting roles that more or less never end, if they aren’t that way they don’t get far.
@@EphemeralRemy you absolutely could be right but I’d hope for his sake he doesn’t base his whole career on pleasing others by his appearance, he did what he loved and made music and ended up famous practically by accident. His music speaks for itself he’s tried more than one genre not fully caring what his audience thinks and ended up getting alot of backlash for it. Even after that makes a “risky” move like this. Maybe he just recently realized how badass blackouts are and maybe didn’t know as much about it until social media made it more prominent. Either way dude might not have the greatest music overall but he stays true to himself despite peoples opinions. Something that’s admirable nowadays. Same as you doing your own thing not giving a fuck about what people think, just because he’s a celebrity doesn’t mean he basis his appearance off of the fans
I think Sean Strickland said it best to MGK's face.
I'm glad you covered this idiot... As to us that are going through the blackout journey ,this guy making it commercialized, is completely fucked... My blackouts are to me ,like my ears were when I started gauging at age 13 when it wasnt a fad .. now everyone has them ... Now I'm worried that blackouts are gonna just be a thing around here now because of this twackout .... Blackouts are supposed to be a sacred thing to some of us , mine is a start to a new beginning and getting rid of the past that I remind myself of everyday when I looked down at them .. I'm halfway through a solid blackout on my right arm and him having this makes me sick because now I get compared to this asshole... Thanks for making this and the other videos bro .. much love and respect 🤙🏻
Thanks for watching, I understand exactly what you mean, lots of his simps were super offended over this video, but I’m not going to skirt reality to keep their egos happy
@@EphemeralRemy keep it raw and to the point as it should be in this industry bro ... Ill send in some pics of my arm soon and the artist that has been doing it .. have a great day bro
And right after I finished my sleeve. Thanks MGK 😒
Ouch
People will continue to diss MGK for a variety of reasons and call him a sell out in a number of aspects. But there is also really no one else who comes to mind who is like him. He can connect across two very different genres. Style is an expression, and his is quite unique. Even though every one loves to hate him, he stays doing his thing. If he was just following the masses, would that be the case? He is in show business which means yes, he is purposeful in creating attention for himself, thats his actual job. But he still does it in his own way.
I agree idol worship sucks, but the antidote is finding humanity in them, not just criticizing them for their position in culture.
That’s definitely nots what’s happened here. His portrayal of the Blackwork he suddenly appeared with is counter to all the good work myself and others have been doing in this industry for literal years to show off safe ways to do this work. People will injure themselves doing sessions trying to imitate that guaranteed, it should have been obvious how I’d feel about this, but the amount of people who very clearly aren’t paying attention is astounding. I didn’t even want to talk about this guy, but BECAUSE of his “place in culture” I was sent this picture hundreds of times asking for a reaction video to it. That wouldn’t have happened without his place in culture.
@@EphemeralRemy Im open to the idea that Im missing something here, but is he actually promoting super quick blackwork? Like do you know how long he has been working on it? In terms of safety, it doesn’t seem like hes running around saying he did this in one sitting. Nothing Im seeing. In which case, Im just not sure what makes him different than anyone else getting blackout. Sure, he is highly visible, Im just not of the mindset that celebrities are completely responsible for their influence. You would still have to be stupid and unresearched to just jump into some copy cat blackout situation. You cant save those people by removing MGK from the equation.
It just seems weird that you would criticize someone getting tattooed quickly, when you also get tattooed quickly. Multiple sessions a week, your whole back blackout in one go. MGK went to a competent pro, didnt use anesthesia or anything stupid, and already had a lot of ink on him. Not the worst case scenario when it comes to celebrities honestly.
@dancingoctopus9888 everything in that picture was fresh, I don’t for a second buy it was done over a long period, and he portrayed it as a rebrand of fashion, I have gone to pain staking lengths to educate about this process, it’s not strange that I reacted this way, it would be strange if I reacted ANY other way, it’s completely in keeping with what I’ve always said. This will cause a lot more botched blackout, mark my words, in the mean time check out my video “the butchers blackout” for a grim reminder of what can and will be going wrong because of this.
I met MGK in Nelson, Ohio. His crew and team robbed the venue. He claimed bankruptcy and hasnt been back to the ledges. Great person....
That sounds about right, don’t you worry c he’s planning on robbing this venue too
Now next we're going to see people doing blue, red, green, white etc outs instead of black & on previously non tattooed skin/not a cover up.
My favorite rock and metal news channel unfortunately covered this. He's doing the whole boo hoo had a mental break down and now I covered myself in black ink. What a weenie.
Bad look, it’s a gimmick/ rebrand as I said for him. Super lame to sell out the culture like that. Oh well
@@EphemeralRemyyou're so fckn dumb to arrive at these conclusions about a person you know nothing about. MGK has always been bery vulnerable about his mental issues dating back to over a decade ago, it's amazing how people are able to hate someone they know nothing about
It really is a sick design and clean work...couldnt be on a worse canvas(and you know he will gladly mop up any credit given for advancing the culture).. You know its going to heal super well because hes got the money to take the time...I just hate that now people will see my 5+year old blackout and ask "MGK fan?"
fuckin PUKE
It’s how it goes, someone famous will always sell out the culture of whatever they can at the opportune moment.
I’m not a fan of mgk, and ESPECIALLY black out tattoos (lol) but I actually like that he got this done. Let’s be honest, black outs look pretty stupid... But mgk had alot of layers of shit already so the fact that he went all out and did this is alright to me. Besides, he’s a very famous person and now people who have blackout tattoos that are ashamed of them will probably be more excepting of them now
I think you’ve missed the plot here, and I’ve famously had more blackout than almost anyones who’s ever lived, lol. If you think this was about shaming blackout you need to rewatch this video. Most people with blackout will likely be more ashamed of having them now lol
I'm a huge Ronnie Radke fan. Kind of crazy he took you as inspiration, everything is coming full circle lmao
Sure did, haha, I didn’t even know who he was prior to that
😂😂😂😂😂😅 your fucking awesome I’m dieing over here. You give no fucks 🤘🏼🤙🏼 it’s fucking sad but it’s the fucking truth 😩
If I’ve been asked for my opinion I’ll always give it, even if it’s tough for people to
listen to lol
The negative space and the parts of the old suit that you can through those lines are a no. The fact that it looks like a halter top is also a no
Fair and valid haha
Everything I have heard about MGK and Kat Von D has been against my will.
Trust me, I didn’t want to make this video, but you wouldn’t believe how many people were asking my thoughts on it, I hope they got what they wanted out of it, because it pains me to speak of it.
@@EphemeralRemy Your willingness to create the video, regardless, will not go unappreciated. I dread the day someone compares my blackout to theirs.
The tattoos of these people, like Kat, would not exist without anesthetic/numbing cream IMO
.. social n. people ....
With regards to celebrity, I have no idea what MGK does, I can assume he's a rapper or a button pusher. Whatever he does he needs more black, black it all out! Great design but it needs finishing. With regards to your celebrity, A tattoo artist I spoke to had never heard of you!
Most of them know who I am and dislike me actually, I’ve made most of their lives harder. I never called myself a celebrity, although I have millions of followers a-crossed social media, unless you’re mainstream famous you’re not a celebrity, and I’m not interested in becoming one anyway.
The contrast in the photos is definitely misleading ha. In a video of him you could definitely see through the black A LOOOT and it was patchy. People already talk shit about blackouts. Now those of us that have them have to be compared to this guy 🙄 haha
Even if it looked solid fresh, it wouldn’t heal that well with how much was done. This is not the way, and I’m afraid of what people will take from this. It ruins all the good work people like myself and a few others have tried to do in providing education on this topic.
Is it just me or does it look like he has Scotch tape across his chest?
At the very least he did the nipples & the belly button. 🙄
Thank goodness for something
@@EphemeralRemy 😂😂😂
Been mulling over the idea of blackout work now for a few years, can't do it now !!!
For some it will be less, and others more attractive now.
There will be a lot of young folks want Black outs...and there will be a lot of shit work....thank you for your work.....
That there will be, these moments undo a lot of the good work done on these topics unfortunately. Best wishes
Fully a trend hopper... he hop on the trend of 20 somethings getting completely covered with random 'art'.... and now he is trying the jump start the incoming 'large scale' blackwork trend. Yes those that know, know large scale black has been around but i feel like it is definitely on the urge of becoming the new trend....and that is sad and concerning.
And this dude can do nothing to NOT look like a fucking clown frankly.
Ephemeral 😅
Personally I think it looks good and I loathe MGK. I havent seen any close up HD pics though.
The work looks fine by me for sure
What's blackout gets played out what's going to be the next color? 🤔 😂 oh wait Remy is already doing that every color.
I don’t see full color blackout getting super popular, white on black for sure though
This was always bound to happen at some point.
Of course, but it doesn’t mean it will be good for the industry, many people will get fucked up over this, people questioning my review here should go watch my botched blackout features, this will end very badly
@@EphemeralRemy Yes, I agree.
It suits ( hehe ) him really well. Also looks well done. I love it.
I will guarantee you he had anesthesia and was asleep when he got this
Probably not. Dude was completely covered well before he did this. He’s definitely been in the tattoo world for a long time lil bro.
He is just a bad joke.
P.S. Thats not a tattoo, thats a marker pen. You can even see the striations and strokes.
U fr?
🐑🥴
Wow I wasn't aware that some celebrities go under anesthesia for a fucking tattoo lol, that is sad. One of my favorite things about tattoos is the experience of getting them. I don't understand it lol that is wild to me.
They sure do, it’s becoming very common, and most people actually think this guy did too, he’s just not admitting it so far lol
@@EphemeralRemy based on what though? Sounds more like what people WANT to be true so they can clown on him more. Some of clowning is deserved imo. But people will literally just make shit up and people don’t care if it’s true or not as long s they get to laugh at it.
Not his biggest fan, but have seen enough of him (usually because he’s doing something stupid) getting bloodied up/hurt to assume he has a pretty high pain tolerance (though being on drugs will do that for you 😂). But I son’ think he went under. Apparently it took 13 six hour sessions (so far) according to the artist.
In that photo none of the work was healed, so unless they were doing back to back sessions every day of the week I’m calling bullshit
@johndough3809 also, it’s become a very common trend in Hollywood to do anesthetic tattoo, so it wouldn’t really be very surprising or hard to believe
Don't be calling him names he had a breakdown he days it in new song, don't let me go
Bought it hook line and sinker hey? 😂 people are so easy to cow, lol
Listen to the song and really give it a chance its heartfelt and informative, it's called don't let me go
@garygibson8944 no thanks 🤣
@@EphemeralRemy cool ur not about hearing it out or giving it a chance y do u not like him so much cause i like ur stuff to so i just wonder y without looking into it more the media lies
Not my cup of tea musically, and not even close personally. Also, people selling products are almost always working their audience.
why is it such a bad thing to you? you’re being extremely hypocritical 😂. I get the outlook of how it’s being portrayed…but don’t you think more ppl will research and educate themselves on it now? his life was a fashion shot before the tattoo.. have you listened to his music? my opinion is your point of view is very closed minded. and that shocks me, you seem a bit jealous also lol
No, no and no, you have no idea how lazy periods are. This will end in very bad ways. Of course I’ve never listened to his music, I’d probably rather hang myself than that, and jealous?? Get the fuck out of here, are drunk? 🤣🤣🤣
“lol”!
"I dont want to be affiliated with this" Exactly anything that clown has i dont want. Unfortunately i do sucks.
