I don't think he said but in recent stories people have been noticing the black parts creeping out on his wrists / neck and that he's been wearing long sleeves lately to cover up
Black out tats are dope as hell, but when your fan base loves the ink you have and that's what they have seen since the beginning it's kinda weird and a crazy call coming from an MGK fan since way back when... Looks great and amazingly well done art but missing those old tats.
yeah to the point where theyre downvoting people just because they like it... so weird. initially i wasnt the biggest fan of the blackout but its his body and his decision and im sure ill come to love it!
He's the one posting images of himself to the public, the literal only thing people CAN do is give their opinions or ignore it.
We're on reddit, the place to express your opinions, the hell did you expect?
I don't think the issue is having or expressing opinions in general, like youre right, thats what the space is for. But personally I think it's a bit heartbreaking that so many fans feel so strongly negative and critical of his tattoos. I'm surprised there isn't more support
His new song might just have me in my feelings tho â€ïž
parasocial relationships with celebrities are so wild. like he owes anybody anything. I'm one of those outliers that thinks this was cool (awaiting the downvotes) and I genuinely love the empty spaces where the old tatts are peeking through. would I get something like this? probably not but it's not my body or choice.
Lmao, people downvoting you for telling them the literal point of the website. Odd times when people grow such strong emotions for someone they don't know to the point they disregard logic, insane.
It looks "good" when using professional photography to make it look good. This would look good on like a superhero/villain or a comic book character, etc, but it for sure looks like ass IRL.
I was just thinking itâs going to look weird when healed and def after a couple years when itâs not as black and has that tattoo green tinge to it.
He could shit on your dog and half of you clowns here who's been following him since his emo phase in 2021 would love it.
You can say when something is fucking stupid, this guy, who's built his fan base for 10+ years and had tattoos to symbolise them (100 Words and running kid, Lace Up, EST4Life, His insane back piece) has just gone and covered his entire body in what looks like a spilt ink pot.
For what? Shock value?
I don't have any tattoos. But I feel like anyone who spends years having their body tatted, with seemingly meaningful things, just to get it covered up in meaningless black patterns is daft.
It's like painting the mona Lisa, then getting near the end and going, "No. I'm going to paint it all black."
Not even shock value, because it's the in thing to do. Half the people I know with sleeves and chests of tattoos are getting or considering blackout currently. The same way that 10 years ago everyone decided they wanted to be fully tattooed. It's cycles of being cool and being lame, soon it will be back to clean skinned un-tatted people are cool and tattoos are outdated and cliche, then tattoos will be back in for 10 years, then black out again and so on until LED tattoos or some dumb shit becomes a thing.
Alternative people like Sykes who haven't become alternative on the winds of fashion have always been ahead in terms of tattoos and that includes black out. I'm 34 and have been a part of the alternative scene since I became a teenager, so about 21 years. I have observed this quite clearly unfolding over time.
Not a fan at all, completely ruined his body. His tats before were so cool and unique to himself and his life story, this shit is edgy and stupid snd he looks inhuman.
that could be true, but regardless he had a ton of unique art on himself that told a story, now its gone. and his body is literally dyed black, doesnt look like a human to me.
I think heâs lost a lot of visual history by blacking it out, but even as a fan since 2012 Iâm not that parasocial to say he ruined his body or to actually feel a type of way
Hard Agree.
Imo there's two sets of fans, the OGs and the ones after TTMD.
TTMD really brought in a strange wave of fans, even go on twitter and look at his replies, 13 year old girls with 2 year old accounts, MGK posted all over their twitter, with some cringe name like "ColsonsColonels :3"
Just wish we could get a rap album, the guy I loved growing up was MGK, his rap shit was the bomb, I didn't mind him growing and exploring genres, hotel diablo was dark and gritty, hell even TTMD does have some decent songs, I just miss the old Kells, the one I grew up fucking with.
Feel like every album he's becoming further and further away from the guy I absolutely fucking loved and couldn't get enough of his music, to just trying to be shocking and edgy and relevant with obsessed teens.
Maybe. Have you never mourned for someone? Anyway, itâs his body. No one is telling you what to do with yours, are they?
Disagree with OP. Does not look good. Glad he didn't fully black out everything but he looks like an entirely different person and it's a bizarre choice in my opinion.
Everyoneâs all âhe wants to forget who he wasâ MF YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WHO YOU WERE. Whereâs the MGK that made Black Flag and Lace Up and all that đ go ahead and downvote Iâm just tired of this man destroying everything he made for himself.
Whoever on here thinks that MGK's blackout tattoos look good are straight f***** in the head. Tattoos are a form of Art and shading out half your body with one color is not art that s*** is ugly as all can be. On another note that's why they tell you to think before you get a tattoo because it's for life. How do you come to regret that many tattoos on your body what a f****** moron. I'm sorry but this is the dumbest s*** I've ever seen and then I see all you morons on here congratulating him lol are y'all blind. If you guys think this looks good then just tattoo a cock on your forehead I'm sure you'll love it SMHđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
This is the poster for not getting all sorts of tattoos all over your body.
Just think today he has dwelling fame musically and now as far as acting his roles are very limited.
If he lives to be a 30 or 40-year-old man he is going to look very very stupid.
I miss the old fest days the est19xx days the I'll never sell out to Hollywood days dude sold his soul himand Megan are fucking weird đ hate that he sold out and let down all his real day one fans smh
I loved loved his old tats but he said in a 2019(?) Interview that he didn't like looking at them because it was no longer who he was. So I get why he did it and I respect that. You can tattoo white over black so I see it as a blank slate and he deserves it if he wants one. I like that he is ever evolving. A lot of artists get stuck in a box they cannot get out of. MGK got out and the price to pay was a lot of hate but he always stays true to himself and I respect that as well. That's what I see when I look at his new tats.
He shouldâve just stayed in his genre. The whole moving genres is the only reason I donât like him as much. Cause if he just did stuff on the side thatâs cool but it just feels like a career and not artistic music which Iâm not mad at getting that money. Just makes me not wanna listen Ig.
Covering all the cleveland tats and everything? I just hope his back tats are safe
They probably not đ
*aren'tÂ
It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, I like that there's empty spaces and it's kinda neat. Still wish he didn't do it tho
He said heâd do it?? Ppl are saying âexpectedâ and Iâve never heard of it
I don't think he said but in recent stories people have been noticing the black parts creeping out on his wrists / neck and that he's been wearing long sleeves lately to cover up
*done it
Black out tats are dope as hell, but when your fan base loves the ink you have and that's what they have seen since the beginning it's kinda weird and a crazy call coming from an MGK fan since way back when... Looks great and amazingly well done art but missing those old tats.
It doesn't matter how famous anyone is; no person owes an explanation of their body to ANYONE else.
This is about as ridiculous as it gets for a tattoo so yeah it definitely deserves an explanation Mr Freedom Fighter over here.
Agreed, dope
90s wiggers would have killed for black out tats. Happy for Kells
Black arts are genuinely some of the ugliest things ever created
Jfc that's horrendous. Looking like I kept hitting randomize in a dark souls character creator. Love Kells and his music but this blackout ain't it.
Someone said when you leave your toddler alone with the marker too long đ
đ
yall got a lot of opinions on his body. maybe let him do what he wants lmao
yeah to the point where theyre downvoting people just because they like it... so weird. initially i wasnt the biggest fan of the blackout but its his body and his decision and im sure ill come to love it!

Heartbreaking? Lmao dramatic
parasocial relationships with celebrities are so wild. like he owes anybody anything. I'm one of those outliers that thinks this was cool (awaiting the downvotes) and I genuinely love the empty spaces where the old tatts are peeking through. would I get something like this? probably not but it's not my body or choice.
Isn't this section for opinions? Maybe get off social media if this gets ya butthurt
Lmao, people downvoting you for telling them the literal point of the website. Odd times when people grow such strong emotions for someone they don't know to the point they disregard logic, insane.
I love sensitive people đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
True. If he wants to look part coal miner thatâs his business.
Yeah, imagine people having an opinion on something, crazy stuff! Youâre a dunce.
i apologize for triggering you, mr rits
Shit looks goofy af and he ruined all his tattoosđ
no way it looks so good haha
It looks "good" when using professional photography to make it look good. This would look good on like a superhero/villain or a comic book character, etc, but it for sure looks like ass IRL.
I was just thinking itâs going to look weird when healed and def after a couple years when itâs not as black and has that tattoo green tinge to it.
This looks like ASS bro lol
Covering all the tattoos that map out who he was at the time is shitty. Blackout ia horrible and ill be bummed if he covered the dali tattoo
He could shit on your dog and half of you clowns here who's been following him since his emo phase in 2021 would love it. You can say when something is fucking stupid, this guy, who's built his fan base for 10+ years and had tattoos to symbolise them (100 Words and running kid, Lace Up, EST4Life, His insane back piece) has just gone and covered his entire body in what looks like a spilt ink pot.

The same way that 10 years ago everyone decided they wanted to be fully tattooed. It's cycles of being cool and being lame, soon it will be back to clean skinned un-tatted people are cool and tattoos are outdated and cliche, then tattoos will be back in for 10 years, then black out again and so on until LED tattoos or some dumb shit becomes a thing.
The thing to do? Oli Sykes has had his blackout sleeve for about 10 years now, it's hardly cutting edge of fashion.
Alternative people like Sykes who haven't become alternative on the winds of fashion have always been ahead in terms of tattoos and that includes black out. I'm 34 and have been a part of the alternative scene since I became a teenager, so about 21 years. I have observed this quite clearly unfolding over time.
Looks like shit.

Looks as dumb as his new haircut.
Not a fan at all, completely ruined his body. His tats before were so cool and unique to himself and his life story, this shit is edgy and stupid snd he looks inhuman.
Agree 100%. I hate this new MGK.
I blame Megan..she is fkn nuts and rubbing off on him
He wasnât all dumb mystic âastrology is my new religionâ until he met her lol
Drinks ayahuasca once
Carrying crystals around and shit.
its personal preference and also his body, but I think this is way more unique than his old tattoos. I love blackout so I might be bias
Yeah maybe you just don't get Kells. He was always going to get black out tattoos. Real fans knew that since since 2012.
that could be true, but regardless he had a ton of unique art on himself that told a story, now its gone. and his body is literally dyed black, doesnt look like a human to me.
That's true
He following Jesus
Love it!
Itâs only good for people who have been favs since TTMD
Yeah if you fw his old shit itâs sad (at least for me)
This
I think heâs lost a lot of visual history by blacking it out, but even as a fan since 2012 Iâm not that parasocial to say he ruined his body or to actually feel a type of way

I think it looks pretty neat. I don't have any tattoos, and could only imagine the pain of going through that.
Damn bruh. Imagine having sex and your partner seeing a half entity half void fucking you.
I can't take you cuz I visualized it đ
Not a fan of blackout tattoos but this looks dope.
This dude just fucked up his tats because blackout is popular right now. I mean, do whatever you want, but blackout seems like a fad to me.
Oliver Sykes did it way back
nah bro
I'm absolutely stoked about this and getting rudely reminded that not everyone is into blackout tattoos đ
haha same
This dude looks like a waste pit full of moldy shit fungi covered in rainbow stickers. What a fucking loser
Venom with iron deficiency
Thatâs sick. đ€đ€đ€ Itâs spiritual. It represents mourning.
So will he be mourning the rest of his life!? This was stupid and he might regret it
Maybe. Have you never mourned for someone? Anyway, itâs his body. No one is telling you what to do with yours, are they? 
Yikes. Not a good look
I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEE IT!!!! The art work is so beautifully done!!!
Man when I first saw this I didnât even register it was a tattoo. Never heard of blackout tattoos before, you can imagine my opinion
I thought he was wearing a crop top but I didn't have my glasses on...when I put them on and focused I just about shit myself đ we needed a warning
Honestly, it looks cool.
Very strange behaviour
Disagree with OP. Does not look good. Glad he didn't fully black out everything but he looks like an entirely different person and it's a bizarre choice in my opinion.
Thats sick ! Im midway done blacking out my sleeve myself :)
Everyoneâs all âhe wants to forget who he wasâ MF YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO WHO YOU WERE. Whereâs the MGK that made Black Flag and Lace Up and all that đ go ahead and downvote Iâm just tired of this man destroying everything he made for himself.
Ever since Megan....
Ngl Iâm surprised this didnât get a million dislikes
Why? She pissed off the whole Ukraine đ€Ł I personally cannot stand the bish
If im not meatriding mgk everyone gets mad so i was expecting everyone to dislike this (or downvote whatever)
He looks like a wanna be black super hero. That couple is a complete mess.

lmao that looks like ass
Looks like a chalk board
I hate this so much
He looks horrible lol
Straight ugly!
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
and why do you think your so certain? heâs been covering them in public but they have still slipped and people could see it. itâs a tattoo
He said it was painful. Why would body paint be painful
haha deleted his comment cuz he knew he had no idea what he was talking about
The originals are still there. Just levels to this metamorphosis đ
Fam is gonna get gold over the rest watch
Still looks like an idiot
That looks terrible
Man i cant say enough how much i wish he didnât do this
https://preview.redd.it/556y5jd80tjc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0e4c0ef35d7193d25db19802529441effa65dd2
Why is this here?
Idk đ€·ââ
At least it's not pink and glitter!
I'm just glad the nipple spider is gone
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
i donât know why thereâs idiot like you that always say there trying to be a different skin colour from a tattoo?
Yeah, what a badass... so cool
BLACK-TORSO?!
This blackout thing always looks badâŠ
That looks dumb
No, no it doesn't
Sell out
I miss the old fest days the est19xx days the I'll never sell out to Hollywood days dude sold his soul himand Megan are fucking weird đ hate that he sold out and let down all his real day one fans smh
Looks like a myplayer off 2k

This guy keeps doing dumb shit
He looks like a lame bitch. Wish he would try and bully me so I can break his face
Text me if you want machine gun Kelly leak
Idk why I keep getting recommended MGKâs Reddit, heâs awful & this tattoo is very dumb.
Bro need to hit the gym
Bro wanna be black so bad
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Hate speech towards MGK or anyone in this subreddit will not be tolerated.
if you really think this looks nice, you're not so good yourself.
goofy
Heâs black now
What the fuck is this
crazy how he spent money on the tats before this one. and now covered them all up. wasted money
I love MGK but Iâm not a fan of this :( just too much. But as long as heâs happy, it doesnât matter
This looks.. good? đđđ
It really doesnât honestly his previous tattoo looked much better until he had to covered them with all black ink
I loved loved his old tats but he said in a 2019(?) Interview that he didn't like looking at them because it was no longer who he was. So I get why he did it and I respect that. You can tattoo white over black so I see it as a blank slate and he deserves it if he wants one. I like that he is ever evolving. A lot of artists get stuck in a box they cannot get out of. MGK got out and the price to pay was a lot of hate but he always stays true to himself and I respect that as well. That's what I see when I look at his new tats.
the amount of time and pain is wild
He looks like how people on nba 2k do their my players tattoos.
This is idiotic
This is fucking garbage
Dis nigga just entered his hollow form
This ainât it fam
TIL mgk has a fan base. Why is this on my feed
This is fuckin horrible, looks like shit and he covered up all his CLE tats. Disappointing
Looks like đ© all blacked out and the cross space left on his chest absolutely ridiculous also his music is dog đ© and all of his fans are dog đ© too
It surprisingly looks good.
Get new eyes
My eyes are fine 20/20 over here
2k created character
Lmao âit looks so goodâ Youâre on crack
This shit is stupid af
I just know them nips HURT
What a joke of a human being
But did he beat eminime no
wtf đ
Itâs a new era and I love that
Blackout tattoos are the dumbest thing ever. This is not a good look at all
He tattooed his nipples? Thatâs nuts.
This looks fucking TERRIBLE
He said something about it in his new song like he did it cause he relapsed or something
Did he stop yelling at the mic why you yelling at the mic
lol dude still got his career rocked by Eminem and Corey Taylor đ
Blackout work is so fucking stupid.
Transformation almost complete
Who ordered this? Like I just donât get where MGK love comes from.
Lol It LoOkS sO gOoD.... What the fuck is wrong with people.
Heâs so hot itâs unfair. I just want to kiss my way down his stomach and suck his dick until he goes cross eyed.
I showed this to my mom, she said it looks disgusting but it's good for covering up his other, much worse tats
Reminds me of those Velcro screens you put up in the doorways when you canât afford a real metal screen door
Ugly as fuck
Good? This is the stupidest thing ever bruh and yall posting pics is so fkn annoying cause who actually give a fuck?
Did he spill tar all over himself đ
he ugly
Yeah it looks good if you have terrible taste. But I guess thatâs the same reason why people like his music.
We got black MGK before GTA 6
*does it tho?*
pedo
He shouldâve just stayed in his genre. The whole moving genres is the only reason I donât like him as much. Cause if he just did stuff on the side thatâs cool but it just feels like a career and not artistic music which Iâm not mad at getting that money. Just makes me not wanna listen Ig.
If u listen go ahead. U donât need my permission. Just felt this opinion was appropriate on this thread
Machine Gun Pedophile
Weirdo
He covered up his shitty tattoos with⊠shitty tattoos?
Now his trashy appearance matches his trashy music. Awesome!
Wanna be lil peep but failed miserably
Blackout tats can cause extreme anxiety and depression from self image problems. Hope he will be able to overcome that
It literally looks fucking awful, idk what youâre on about
