Reacting to The Worst Tattoo Ideas

[@Ben-td1zv]

We all know that scar should be covered with a panther.

[@kirkfagantattoo]

hahah truth

[@KenseiAbbot]

A sick ass panther. Or maybe a freakazoid logo

[@notdeadyet2020]

a galaxy ??? why tf u lying

​@@kirkfagantattooThere's you're first T shirt idea for merch. "Put a panther on it!"

[@BeatHuntaAl]

Tattoo history lesson: The reason why red ink used to cause severe health issues in japan is because it contained cinnabar. And the reason why the black and red (or Shu) combo was so popular even though everyone knew about the risks is because it was seen like a badge that proved how tough you are. If you had a lot of red ink in your tattoos, people knew immediately that you were a certified badass. That's also the reason why all tattooed characters (mostly warriors) depicted in old ukiyo-e artworks by artists like Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Kunisada etc. have this color combo. That's how old this tradition is.

[@Hopischwopi]

I love Ukiyo-e art and how people have taken it and put their own spin on it. I bet no little detail was not thought through im those designs, no matter if it was on skin, paper, wood, etc..

[@Hypnos828]

That first guy with the blackout palms is actually super chill, his name is Sean Gatz, he has a video on KZbin about why his forehead is blacked out. Dudes worth a watch tbh!

[@JugganLoo]

He did it himself right, ive seen him do stick and poke in it

[@TheWangchung5]

Doesn't he also go all over the states doing construction jobs for really good deals for people?

[@JugganLoo]

@@pretzelsaregood57 yea ive seen him adding to the forehead in a short so wasnt sure if he did it all himself or just has been slowly adding to it i also seen him use a gun on his lip

[@JugganLoo]

@@TheWangchung5 he might of in the past. Recently he bought land in az has recently done a event but I think i saw he said he wants to essentially build a tiny home village or some type of multi family live for homeless people

[@fuggintighttattoo]

He attempted suicide and the blackout was his way to cover something. He attempted to blackout his head by himself first and later had a professional do the blackout. He doesn't travel all over the states doing construction instead he moves to the desert in Arizona and has been testing himself for self sustainably. Yes he is a skilled builder, finisher, and overall he embraces his common sense and takes advantage of being educated by reading and learning new skills with the unlimited amount of knowledge for free with the Internet. But what I believe he wants to be known for is his collaboration with Tiny Homes in the quest to help homeless people . He is building a community for people who have been through the same difficulties in life be it by depression, severe mental illness, drug addiction and anyone who needs help. Sean Gatz is a genuine person who survived the evil that manifested itself to be his own consciousness. He battles that enemy and uses helping others as the weapon .

Kirks down to earth and chill vibes while absolutely roasting some of these tattoos but not going over the top is phenomenal. Keep doing what you’re doing bro don’t change your content. It’s far superior to the others!

[@Yurifrikkett]

You're my favourite tattoo artist, kirk you're the man!

[@kirkfagantattoo]

i appreciate that duder

[@Jessie-922]

I agree about the anesthesia tattoos. It just makes me feel gross seeing it done and idk why! I feel like the pain is a major part of the journey so it’s like they’re cheating 😂

[@marinab4960]

Love your vids. When i get tattooed one day they better put in the black outline!

[@kirkfagantattoo]

we saving tats out here!

[@auggiedoggiesmommy1734]

Getting anesthesia for anything other than surgery is stupid. Anesthesia is not something that’s good for you. Not just that, imagine the pain later … you will feel that and mentally that would be so hard for your brain to comprehend.

[@Algae555]

Not to mention it’s dangerous. How are the tattoo artists getting access to the clients medical records? How do they know if they’re allergic to the anaesthetic? Where did they even find an anaesthesiologist willing to do this?

[@seguaye]

fr, i had to go under for the first time for a surgery a few months ago and I was high as shit and out for the rest of that day, i wasn’t lucid till like noon the day after. it isn’t just like taking a nap lol

[@snowrs1]

I am jealous of what people can get tattooed now, most of mine is around 30 years old.

[@harorider96]

@@Algae555 pretty sure the client would sign a hippa release

[@dominicsaraga1517]

I just wanted to comment the guy that blacked out his forehead. He's a great guy doing a lot of wonderful work for people. The reason that black out is even there in the first place was because he did it to himself while high / drunk and he figured if he messed his face up, then maybe it would make taking his own life easier. He gotten it touched up to not look as bad and well, he's way better now doing wonderful things and in a great head space to be successful.

[@NoNameNomad....]

Yep, i get a reaction on the red in my arm, nothing like that though. Love seeing your channel grow by 5k subs each week, well deserved. Also, loved seeing an older video of yours earlier with Filip lue, he tattooed my mum about 20 years ago. She went to Switzerland from the UK and it's still one of the best tattoos I've ever seen in person. Keep up the great work, love the channel

[@benxbaker]

Your videos have quickly become my daily routine. As I'm actively sitting here watching at work wondering how much a round trip flight and all would be to get a panther or some other traditional banger

[@Happytravellerkimmy]

I've never wanted a panther tattoo in my entire life but after watching a bunch of these, I'm like, yeah panther is the only way to go 😂

[@spiralphysiotherapy4196]

“Jabroni” was the video highlight for me 🤣🤣🤣

[@brentmatheson4729]

A ramped up Kirk is best. Fun video. Thanks and hello from Canada.

[@BulletBishopByron]

Loved the "I'm getting tired" one. 3 stooges stlye joke all the way!

[@Scotland_the_Brave1984_McCabe]

Ironically "90s spikey tribal" is what my ancestors got here in Scotland ,the Picts started that shiz 2500 years ago or more.

[@LeXyStAr77]

Are these people that are getting anesthesia for tattooing even getting checked out before hand to make sure they are healthy enough to go under? Like their heart and lab work? Also, it's not good to be out under anesthesia,,even yrs apart, it's not good.

[@Jessie-922]

I watched a vid of one guy going under TWICE in a month for a back piece and it’s was crazy. They do however explain that there usually is a team of anesthesiologists and nurses that run all those tests before hand but no thank u!

[@geometricbass]

12:40 - I'm surprised you didn;'t mention that this guy is also getting dental work done at the same time to capitalize on the anesthesia lol

[@tetrahydraa]

ahhh getting tatted under anesthesia..... the BBL of the tattoo community......

[@darkplasmo7921]

I know ppl that went under Anastasia and never were the same, a super common side effect is DID. A guy I know would repeatedly say that he felt like in a dream and that he felt like he would wake up in the hospital bed anytime. It has a significant risk just that under normal circumstance your life out ways any permanent consequences

[@J.Skyler]

@@darkplasmo7921holy shit, dude.

[@Foxtail529withluck]

That dude's scar looked so badass on its own, covering it up is just a crime

[@montialarson]

How dare someone cover up a scar on their own body. As someone who has an arm full of scars, some of us just want them to be invisible sometimes. Maybe that scar is from a traumatic time and he doesn't want to be reminded of it all the time.

[@THICCTHICCTHICC]

Nah. I have some gnarly scars. I hate them.

[@dixiewinxeqandmore356]

16:20-- Why would you waste skin real estate like that? I want tattoos, but I'm scared to end up with something I'd regret, even though the design I want is considered timeless

[@smirgutt]

About red ink, I don’t know how it is nowadays but on one of my arms I have a lot of reds and pinks. The tattoos are 30ish years old now and they still swell op every now and then. Even had some scarring in the lines. Not my tattooist fault he did all my tattoos (2 sleeves and 3 big pieces) and only reds/pink/ orange gave me that reaction. Maybe the colours are better now but yeah… reds fuck me up

[@Clairymoo]

for the white ink over black lines - I've seen some people say it's a good step to do before a proper coverup. Would the janky muddy white over black be easier to cover with colours?

[@manufacturedtulpa]

my tattoo artist did this for a pretty large cover up. she lightened certain areas with white ink, and then once it healed i came back and got the actual cover up done. it worked pretty well!

[@SmallRoundDuck]

The first guy has a tik tok channel and uploads here too. A really cool dude 👍

When I just think that I don't even have a tattoo...but I love watching all about them and your delivery is👌. Seriously thinking about getting one. A great one. Not some random shit as we're seeing so often. P.S. Being sweet doesn't exclude being very handsome. Just sayin'... 😉 Love from Croatia

[@Hopischwopi]

Do tattoo artists ever get up and look at their tattoo from afar mid session? Like I am not heavily tattooed, only two different artists and as an illustrator I either step away from the canvas, squint my eyes or zoom out. Just curious because I guess it would also help people who are hesitant with the black in black and grey tattoos. It's of course a different medium and canvas but the basic principles of contrast and stuff should still apply right? 🤔 I was always interested in how tattoo artists design their tattoos because sometimes it's cool to use techniques from a different area to get new visual results. Maybe I should finally try and apply some tattoo techniques into my artwork, that gotta be fun.

[@CrawlingPanther]

Sean gatz the guy with the abstract face tats is the only influencer i like.

[@Onionfries-cz4wo]

I'm very curious to see how that keloid scar tattoo settled. That scar didn't look ready to be tattooed over. Could see a panther somewhere covering it when it was ready for tattooing.

[@idek3867]

What's it like to tattoo on scars? Do you tattooers feel a difference in resistance or anything like that? And in what way will the tattoo change overtime after healing and such? And how long should you usually wait before tattooing scars?

[@nuh-uhbro765]

This is what I’ve learned on the subject: - Not all scars are the same to work with, burns, cuts, etc affect the skin differently - Generally scars have harder and thicker skin that has a harder time taking ink, so yes the artist can feel a difference - It’s best to wait several years after the injury so that the scar is as settled as it can be, tattooing a scar too soon can increase the odds of damaging the skin farther

With people tattoos their face like in the first guys case Matt his name is he said he was self harming during this period and has been struggling with his mental health in his life. That’s one reason people get face tattoos

The first guy is a creep. He keeps moving states and starting his social media over everytime he gets caught doing creepy or illegal shit. Keeps getting away with it. Not shocked some of his tattoos are kinda shit.

[@BasedWop]

What did he do that was creepy/ illegal?

[@STARPHASE]

I'm so glad I didn't start getting tattoos until I was 25. I'm about to be 30, and have 5 tattoos. I only regret the placement of my first one, those little light bulbs I sent in to you for your first viewer submission video. But! I'm going to get a half sleeve on that arm, some black work floral, and we're going to cover those light bulbs, and then do an improved version of them somewhere else. Because I still love the meaning behind them, but they're just not a good quality tattoo.

[@belikeron]

Man that face tattoo girl escaped from area 51.

[@wavyant7757]

You should react to influencers tattoos

[@idek3867]

Ever tattooed a paralyzed person? My friend got a tattoo some years ago. It's all black and a good 25×15cm. He of course doesn't feel pain, but his body definitely does. He got spasms every time the needles touched his leg and the spasms only got worse and worse. A friend ended up sitting on his legs to keep them still, but unsurprisingly that didn't help much, so the tatooer ended up timing the spasms and shut like that and the tattoo ended up pretty decent actually. It's uniformly black throughout and there weren't too many blowouts in the outlines 😂😂

[@Roanoak]

The first guy does a lot of his tattoos on his own face but he's actually really cool cuz he builds houses and helps homeless people and drug addicts and he's an amazing dude and one of his videos he talks about like he doesn't care who likes his tattoos and who doesn't. He does it for him and he don't give two craps and I can respect that. Oh and he tattoos his own face on his channel while he talks about pretty sensitive topics. I don't know that guy gets a lot of respect as a humanitarian in general. Dude builds entire houses by himself with his bare hands that's nuts.

[@Bajan0taku]

12:30 why should they? Delivering quality work is all that matters.

[@vectorwolf]

Every time I've had white added to a tattoo, it's gone by the time the thing heals. Every single time, doesn't matter how heavy it's packed in or anything. I have a 'white' flower on my wrist and just had to settle for pale blue shading and calling it good because every time we tried to put in some white highlights? Three weeks and it's like it was never there. Red ink reactions definitely depend on ink. My first piece, 20 years ago, had a red sun that I had a reaction to, and it's still raised to the touch even today. But the kraken on my forearm has a lot of bright red in it, and healed without issue. I feel like good quality modern inks are generally a lot safer than they used to be.

Also really important note the Tools doesn't make the artist. Every artist can create masterpieces with the crappyst tools. I have seen people creating Bob Ross paintings in Microsoft paint. Deanna James talked in her story how her apprentices had a really cheap machine and was complaining he can't work with it. She tried it and said it's totally okay and she could work fine with it.

[@nicnag1]

My husbands first tattoo is 1/3-1/2 his back (American flag) and he says he can feel the line work and it get pretty itchy at times) and just realized it’s almost always the red stripes that itch him when he has me scratch where he can’t reach. He has a little bit of red in a second tattoo but that doesn’t itch. They were done about 20 years apart and different tattoo studios so maybe that’s part of it too? I have 3 autoimmune illnesses but once I learned people could have reactions I found it suoer odd I didn’t plus my tattoos heal faster than my husband plus I almost never have pain/sensitivity during the healing process. Within hours of completion my tattoos feel completely healed like my older tattoos.

On the topic of tattoo allergies, Ive wanted tattoos since i was a kid but im learning now that the auto immune condition i have often reacts really really badly with tattoos and peircings.

I had those bumps on all of my tattoos. It started January 2023 and it took weeks till they disappeared again. All black tattoos by different artists, different inks and techniques. The only explanation that made sense to me was because I had a mental breakdown at that time, so I think some psychosomatic shit was going on…

[@slinkywhippet]

Is the under General Anaesthesia getting dental work done at the same time? I mean I guess if you need a few cavities filled, veneers/tooth gems applied, or fangs created then it makes sense to do them whilst you're knocked out but fuck would the recovery from everything all at once be horrible ☹️

[@Littlelikeme92]

I have a lot of allergies including tree nuts, legumes, pollen, dust, mold, etc. I wonder if this is common is people that already have allergies or if that really doesn’t even have much to do with it. My tattoos will occasionally get raised and itchy or even break out in hives. It’s only ever one at a time, never multiple tattoos at the same time (thank goodness).
