I do t know why but before I watched this black out tattoos turned me off. But hearing the story of why people might want to do this made these tattoos beautiful to me. In a world of statements in your face having something massive but simplistic is peaceful.
What's with the bandana??
OMG i cant imagine the itch
what about the welling? ive heard a lot of times artists leave out one or 2 lines along the blackwork so the skin can actually expand around the arm/leg. i guess extreme swelling can scar your skin (what would look terrible on a freshly tatted blackout)
I love tattoos but I dont get the black out thing but I would never talk shit about someones choice
back in the day you didnt become an apprentice ecause of your talent you got picked because you were the last "pledge" standing
how do you fix a blackout? lol dude is full of shit
Acrylic Paint Non Toxic
What a horrible idea
I'm glad I'll never be this dumb to ruin my body
Idk why but i absolutely love black outs. Her tattoos before looked amazing don’t get me wrong but I think black outs can really suit people.
👀🤨
So what kind of black ink does he use??
What ink are you using?
When you finally get files

I have an appointment for sometime next year xD
Is ink poisoning a possibility here? This looks scary more than anything. 😬💀
why is he covering his face
I did forearm blackout w some negative , my artist used 25,35 needles .. i can tell you one to 7 needle is mosquito for this monster
she took the elbow like a champ
Maybe you shouldn't waste money on tats if you have to cover them up. Black out tattoos are racial propreation
Cute mask $æ*0/
Is this white people trying to be black? Doesn't seem very appropriate
Average 2k player
Is the bandanna for the stupid COVID thing or the stupid hide your identity thing for a tattoo show?
Whats the point of it?
Blackout tattoos🥴
What a freaking joke!
The background music was super distracting from being able to feel cud on what he said.
Oh that's awful but still better than the lupillo Rivera
is this some comedy sketch where the guy says the gayest shit without realizing it
Once I painted this entire canvas matte black in a art competition. I lost.
Blackouts are for lazy zoomers who don't wanna sit in the chair…..
I have a lot of trouble being in the sun since I’m a ginger. If I get my whole body blacked out will I stop getting sun burned?
Anyone know who is the girl? Instagram or something?
Gross
Pretty fuckin stupid.
This is perfect for me since I identify as a 6'5" black man with a 12" you know what. 👍
You can tell she’s a poser just from her old tatts .. don’t get a tattoo bc it’s cool get one bc YOU Actually like it, not bc your friends think it’s cool
6:57–7:41 where can I find this song?
I love my black out.
Can you tattoo white on top of a blackout? Might be a dumb question idk
Thought I was gonna hate it . But it actually looked good on her
Black outs are lame. Not my choice.
