- Claims it is for ‘spiritual purposes’
Machine Gun Kelly gave fans a bit of a shock when he revealed his new body art on Tuesday.
The Bloody Valentine hitmaker, 33 – whose fiancée Megan Fox showed off a dramatic new look at the People’s Choice Awards – took to his Instagram to debut a blackout tattoo covering his entire upper torso.
Details of The New Body Art
The black ink envelops his upper body, while a few of his original tattoos can still be seen through paneled gaps along his arms and within the cross symbol etched across his chest
‘For spiritual purposed only,’ he captioned the snap.
The post comes after Megan recently debuted a new sleeve tattoo while attending a Grammys viewing party.
44 Needles
MGK also noted that the new ink required ’44 needles’ in an Instagram Story.
Statement From His Tattoo Artist
His tattoo artist Roxx told TMZ that the rock star engaged in a ‘spiritual consultation’ before diving into the process.
During this session, MGK conveyed to her that his existing tattoos no longer resonated with his current mindset, calling them ‘chaotic’.
The procedure seemed to be quite a formidable task, and Roxx mentioned that MGK was the ‘toughest client she’s ever had’.
She also said the process started in mid-December, with MGK consistently visiting her private L.A. studio four days a week for thirteen six-hour sessions.
The artist still has some work to go on the musician, adding that the project is ‘one of the biggest she’s done in such a short time.’
Roxx took to her own Instagram to share a different photo of her jaw-dropping work on MGK.
Echoing her remarks to the outlet, she captioned it, ‘Made some art with @machinegunkelly Never met a tougher one.’
