Best advice ever, pay for an artist you want! Not what you can afford in the moment. This is why I only have two tats and only one I wish was done better..

[@SuitedSkaterLion]

First there should be Artists, not just self said artists. Everyone think is easy to get tattoos, is not at all.

[@justme-qh3gl]

Brilliant

[@artisticalex1206]

Can totally agree with that. Also it’s not advice he said but don’t rush getting tattoos either.

[@matthewblankenship7968]

You can tell one thing about jelly roll is he is humble …respect…✌🏻

[@LindaClark-ez9mk]

Jelly Roll is the best. Would love to go to a concert or meet him. Such a great dude.

[@lucy0537]

When he was talkin about the baby smokin a blunt .....that smile n giggle!! He's adorable ❤

[@tomking7080]

There are some amazing tattoo artists in prison. My cellmate was so dope. What he did with a single needle was amazing. Today he has his own tattoo shop and is doing well for himself. I don’t have any tattoos but I like them on other people. I appreciate the art to it.

[@greggreg2263]

I love Jelly Roll because he’s always honest 😇and he’s not blowing sunshine up your a$$

[@thisaccount1537]

If anyone cares about the Quokkas and island he was talking about it's Rottnest Island I'm pretty sure! :) they are seen around a few other places/islands tho... took me a minute to find out which one has the most but pretty sure it's Rottnest Island! Quokkas are protected native animals in Australia, primarily found in Western Australia. They are classified as a "vulnerable" species and are protected under both state and federal legislation.Jun 18, 2023... but still I love the story behind the tattoo!!

[@WixPatton]

JELLY ROLL IS JUST SO LIKEABLE !

[@danj.p.5341]

Aussies...don't tell him he's thinking of Koalas...just be Quokka about this.

[@jonihannah2760]

[@maximumenergy5925]

[@davidno1minton997]

Bad,boy,jelly,1

[@artisticalex1206]

To be very honest, as someone who got tattooed at 18, definitely wait until you’re older. Like maybe early or mid 20s. I love all my tattoos, even the ones I got at 18-20, in different ways, but there’s a few I wish I would’ve thought about longer. I also would never tattoo my face, neck or hands because they are often regretted and plus 99% of the time you can’t get a job with them. But in general I don’t care for them anyways. I’m just saying this because of how Jelly Roll talks about his tattoos and how he regrets a lot of them and I thought I’d share my story.

[@SuitedSkaterLion]

2:59 Why this come out so out of hand and funny lol 💀

[@ralphlouisss]

I’m abundance

[@davet6834]

Just bought a ticket to his Broken tour performance in Arkansas this October. I'll be celebrating my 71st birthday a little early. IT'S MY PRESENT TO MYSELF.❤😂❤😂 OH & I HAVE A COUPLE OF TRAMP STAMPS!

[@justinpigg1694]

[@jeremiahfreitag5242]

[@YourGFsOnlyFans]

My logic is if I make it to 40 I’ll be happy, or 50 whatever. I don’t care what I look like, I just want to be here.

[@amandamandigo382]

So US all the tattoos!!! That wasn't all of them!!@

[@mike8818]

Jelly is in Michigan for the tailgates and tallboys tour. I would let him tattoo anything on me!

[@GarryMartin-nw4zh]

I don't regret any of mine but I don't have as many

[@18Maxim18]

😢😢

[@michaelm.3210]

Best advice ever: Your body is sacred--and perfect As. It. Is. You CAN'T improve it. Period.

[@Drummerchef13]

But you can decorate it to bring you joy. My tattoos give me the confidence to show off parts of my body I'm self conscious about

[@BiscuitLord1983]

My first Tattoos where done in jail and they where pick and poke

[@armoriya]

Jelly roll got those Cookin arms.

[@RoscoRR]

Only real ones know about the tattoo he is covering up with his hand

[@user-hl7wy2ep4h]

[@samanthab1923]

Start laser treatment to remove those face tats

[@melilopez1946]

Then he wouldn't be jelly..they make him ,him

[@justme-qh3gl]

How dumb

[@HULLGRAFFITI]

So many ppl in America seem to be covered in a totally horrendous mess of unartistic scribbles by ppl who can't draw but paid $150 on a Chinese set that included 20 inks, a huge pack of all the needles so they are now a 'tattoo artist ' ready to scribble over anyone who wants some attention for a few mins

[@joseluki]

Dude looks like a ham leg with stickers.

[@ronnyplaster2017]

Get the ones off your face and laid the rest

[@Wellingclub]

Who???

[@ac2244]

[@marquise9b]

GQ stands for Gentlemen’s Quarterly. It’s a long time since I’ve withered a gentleman talk about his tattoos. Oh lord what have we become. Unsubscribe.

[@gigitonsvajv]

Buh bye

[@sherrymay5409]

He could get them laser remove

[@MrC9Oh3]

Tattoos are hideous and 99.9% of people regret them, whether they admit it or not.

[@Drummerchef13]

Have fun with your boring skin then.

[@AimlessNameOG]

Rich and Dumb.

[@gigitonsvajv]

Oh let me guess. You’re poor and dumb. Jelly is laughing all the way to the bank.

[@stevenjeandetroit]

Boggles my mind that this is what the youth thinks is cool.

Go watch his eloquent and powerful testimony before Congress. Haven't you learned yet, and why haven't you, don't judge a book by its cover. What matters is what's inside.

[@justme-qh3gl]

He's got lots inside. Like 400lb
