Machine Gun Kelly reveals scary side effects after covering body in 'near impossible' blackout tattoos

Machine Gun Kelly has revealed his skin turned yellow after rushing to finish his blackout tattoos.

The rapper, real name Colson Baker, said he decided to get the full blackout tattoo after looking in the mirror and seeing a mishmash of tattoos, some from periods of his life he’d rather forget about.

So, he decided to enlist the help of celebrity tattoo artist ROXX who came up with a ‘dark mode’ tattoo that covers most of his arm, chest, and stomach in solid black ink.

But says he was left feeling unwell after refusing to take it slow and steady when it came to getting inked.

Speaking to Billboard Canada, MGK revealed that ROXX had told him that it’d likely take ‘two years’ to complete the large-scale design, but said he wasn’t willing to wait.

Seems like it would be better to just have them removed by laser.

But he said he was impatient, so...

Platner’s Totenkopf tattoo would have been justified only if he had been an actual member of, say, the Waffen S.S. - and maybe even of an Einsatzgruppe (”mop-up crew” who followed along behind the front lines and “eliminated” the Jews they could find).

I think that you might want to rethink that! You have one integral sign too many there!

As it now stands in your post, it makes no sense!

It is helpful that women display these warning flags for us, saves us the trouble finding out later rather than sooner.

Weird hair color and/or shaved hair, also cues to pick up on and avoid.

“Unless the tatoo represents verifiable military service, it is the indelible mark of the lowlife.“

That is absolutely not true.
My wife has a PhD in science, has been a teacher, professor, educator, and author for 40 years. She has quite a few tattoos that reflect meaningful parts of her life.
I have an arm of military tattoos, the other arm is tattooed with motorcycle memorabilia. I also have my family crest proudly inked on my chest.
Tattoos are personal expression, memories, and past events made permanent. As in life, some decisions are made in haste and may be regretful. My wife and I have no such regrets.

Even “temporary” tattoos come with a warning!

I survived breast cancer, and never would consider a tattoo.

Having chemicals purposely poked into my skin seems like tempting fate.

An extensive “I’m stupid” flag.

I won’t even go to a checkout counter if the clerk has visible tattoos or piercings. IMO (not everybody’s, I understand), it’s the sign of a “low quality person”, one of Trump’s phrases.

Plus, the Bible says don’t do it.

The ink is toxic.

Those sporting tattoos are candidates for short lives.
