Machine Gun Kelly got a huge black tattoo (9 photos + 1 video)

Machine Gun Kelly, the 33-year-old rap musician and Megan Fox's fiancé, gave fans a bit of a shock on Tuesday. He showed off his new body art - it covers up most of his previous tattoos on his upper torso with black ink.





The new tattoo covers almost the entire body - the neck, chest, back, and arms from shoulders to wrists are black. There are several unfilled stripes left on the arms and chest, on which old drawings are visible. On the chest, the stripes form the symbol of a cross.

Having published the photo on social networks, the musician captioned it: “For spiritual purposes only.”

The author of the new body art is tattoo artist ROXX. According to her, Machine Gun Kelly came to her studio for sessions for more than two months, starting in December. There were 13 sessions in total, six hours each. It took 44 needles to complete the job.

“This is the most difficult client I’ve ever had,” the tattoo artist admitted.



ROXX also said that before the start of the sessions, the musician conducted some kind of “spiritual consultation” and became convinced that the old tattoos were “chaotic” and no longer corresponded to his current way of thinking.

Fans are still perplexed and react to the idol’s new appearance mainly with jokes.

Meanwhile, Megan Fox added to her collection of tattoos with a sleeve on her left arm. The tattoo features an intricate black and gray image of a soaring phoenix, complemented by blooming flowers outlined in vibrant red ink.
