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.

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

At least he won’t have to look down and worry if a spot he sees is melanoma.

Untatted skin turning yellow? Might want to get his liver checked.

Tattoos weaken the immune system, because the body spends resources to work to remove the tattoo.

Thus one reason I’ll never get a tattoo.

Poisoning the body is the least of the problems.

Fr. Chad Ripperger, a well-known exorcist, he’s vocal about tattoos in his lectures. He argues they violate natural law by altering the body unnecessarily, calling them a form of mutilation. Religious tattoos, he says, are “the worst,” as they misuse sacred symbols in a sinful context. He’s even claimed modern tattoo ink might be “cursed,” linking it to demonic influence (Sensus Fidelium).

And sometimes tattoos done while in the military can still indicate a lowlife.

e.g. Platner.

More work needs to be done to prove there is a tattoo effect on cancer. Things don’t look good for now.

Another risk factor that might bite ya’ in yo’ a**, just when yo wanted to retire and go fishing.

I didn’t know that,but I never had any desire for tatoos either. Sure don’t have any now or later.
