Machine Gun Kelly’s new look has left fans in shock.
The singer-songwriter debuted a massive blackout tattoo that covers a significant chunk of his upper body. MGK debuted the ink in a new Instagram post on Feb. 20 and gave artist Roxx a shoutout in his caption.
“For spiritual purposes only,” he wrote.
The photo, which has over 625,000 likes as of Wednesday, is also the only image on his IG grid. Roxx also took to Instagram to post a picture of the 33-year-old, writing, “Made some art with @machinegunkelly. Never met a tougher one.”
MGK sent good vibes right back, replying, “Thanks for the joy and the pain.”
The rapper had teased his new look a day before the big IG reveal, writing on X, “been wearing a turtleneck for 3 months, taking the shirt off tomorrow idgaf” alongside a video which included the text “44 needles” – seemingly disclosing the tools it took to achieve his giant tat.
