Machine Gun Kelly, born Colson Baker, recently revealed that his extensive blackout tattoo led to significant health complications. The musician shared that the rapid completion of the tattoo over two months resulted in his skin turning yellow and experiencing severe illness. He described the process as a "near impossible" journey that left him unable to move and sleep properly. Blackout tattoos involve covering large areas of the body with solid black ink, a procedure that can be more intense and traumatic to the skin compared to traditional tattoos. Health experts caution that such extensive tattoos can lead to increased risks of infection, allergic reactions, and other complications. Machine Gun Kelly's experience underscores the importance of considering the potential health risks associated with large-scale tattoos and ensuring proper aftercare to prevent adverse effects.
