Actress shares insight on machine gun Kelly’s full-torso blackout tattoo
Megan Fox recently delved into the personal significance behind Machine Gun Kelly’s (MGK) latest and most dramatic tattoo yet—a full-torso blackout piece that has captivated fans and followers alike. In an intimate discussion on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Fox shed light on the deep emotional roots of MGK’s tattoo transformation.
Known for his eclectic blend of punk and hip-hop music, MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, has long been recognized for his extensive tattoo collection, reportedly boasting over 90 unique designs acquired since the age of 14. However, his recent decision to cover these with a comprehensive fine art piece by Roxx has sparked widespread curiosity and admiration.
Fox explains that MGK’s new tattoo is not just an aesthetic choice but a move to emotionally disengage from the past memories associated with his previous tattoos. “He has a really special story behind why he did that,” Fox stated, respecting MGK’s prerogative to share that story himself. She hinted at a complex relationship with his former ink, suggesting that some tattoos were tied to memories MGK preferred not to revisit.
The actress likened the blackout tattoo’s appearance to the work of minimalist fashion designer Rick Owens, known for his avant-garde and futuristic styles. Fox believes that MGK’s tattoo, much like Owens’ designs, is “elegant” and “ahead of its time,” predicting it could set a trend in the years to come.
Admiring MGK’s resilience, Fox highlighted his remarkable endurance of the tattooing process, which he underwent fully conscious and without painkillers. This testament to his strength parallels his evolution as an artist and individual, showcasing vulnerability in his music, acting, and public persona.
Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship, Fox emphasized the profound bond between them, describing MGK as her “twin soul.” She remains discreet about the specifics of their relationship status but affirms an enduring connection regardless of future dynamics.
MGK’s blackout tattoo symbolizes a bold step in his personal and artistic journey, underscored by Fox’s supportive and insightful commentary. As they navigate their lives, both public and private, the ‘twin souls’ continue to fascinate and inspire with their commitment to self-expression and mutual respect.
