your full of critique, but can we see more of your work please.

[@JAF2991]

​@@DeadInsideDave it's all in his ig

[@DrBlaydeSharpe]

I'm a doctor and it is effing nuts that people are getting an anaesthetic for a tattoo. Anaesthesia is super safe but not completely risk free so its wild to me that this is offered, just not ethical imo

[@hunterG60k]

One hundred percent agree, just madness

[@claytonberg721]

It's unnecessary risk. Is it done with an anesthesiologist? Do they have a doctor, a crash cart and a team of nurses there to help you if need be? Were they monitoring his vitals? It just looks like a bunch of bro dudes there.

[@janinabaezakottirsch9546]

Hi, medstudent here. I absolutely agree that getting put under for a tattoo is insane. But it does kinda fall under the same umbrella as other elective cosmetic procedures (like a rhinoplasty that's done without a clinical reason). And those are quite normalized. I don't know what to think about that honestly.

[@linphillips8331]

I've been under anesthesia twice in my life and it suuuuuuucked.

[@Baphometh69]

I think it should be illegal for bigger tattoos. I’ve seen people get full back pieces and sleeves in one session, imagine waking up to that without having some powerful painkillers like OxyContin to keep your mind of the pain. The body is probably in shock as well and risk of infection or other complications, that poor immune system would be working overtime! Must be super complicated to heal even if it goes well. I’m the type of guy that prefers to do as little as possible per session, within reasonable measure.. I like to do outlines first and let them heal, before doing more detail or fading/colouring. Not a fan of possibly overworking the skin, and it makes sense this way… makes it A LOT easier to get clean work done… however it’s obviously very impractical for most people, where the mindset is as quick as possible, as much as possible…

[@FingerPulse]

I'm not an MGK fan whatsoever but this looks so much better. Looks dope. It's one of the better decisions he has probably ever made.

[@lizabethmoore5953]

It amazes me that the rich & famous have all that money BUT hardly ever get awesome ink. Some have learned...but here we are. Wtf Billie 🤣

[@maartenn2217]

That's because they're used to getting what they want, when they want it. And guess which artists are available right then and there for them? Not the great ones

[@Randomjackass135]

I feel like that about their love lives. Could have the most beautiful people in the world but run through the same 10 women/men

[@PhateScreams]

If I had 200,000, I'd rather buy a house. I'll stay awake for a tattoo

[@ferreira8649]

Same but 200k is pocket change for these people.

[@middleDZ]

If we’re lucky, one day tattoos will be cheaper for not undergoing anesthesia 😂🤣

[@Cannibalizee]

If you had 200k for a tattoo, then you'd def have multiple houses at the time.

[@AdamVanHouten]

I don't think I'd ever want to get a whole body tattoo that fast, even if it was painless because I was under anesthesia... just.... imagine the healing process, what a nightmare that must have been. I'll stick to one part at a time with some pain thank you. 😅

[@Madkalibyr]

That’s my thought as well. The healing sure won’t be so easy . I imagine it’d be better to let a large piece heal as you collect the pieces rather than all at once . Like a crazy bad full-body burn

[@farlesbarkley1022]

Healing an entire back at once? Fudge.

[@TheseVoicesInMyHead]

And ....how did he sleep ? 😂 always on the side I guess. And really...it would be cheaper to go in steps. My back is fully covered and I paid a small small percentage of this....nontheless, everyone can do what he/she wants as long as they don't hurt others - only themselves here 😅

[@Sho2official]

Ed Sheeran just caught a mean stray out of nowhere😂😂

[@cobblerama]

I met Kid Rock about 20 years ago at his former guitarist's wedding and sat next to him at the reception. He had a winged "American badass' tattoo on his back that I got to examine closely and was amazing! I'd be curious to see how it's aged over the years. Edit, I just looked it up online and it's interesting how memory can't be trusted. I recall it being more of an Egyptian wing motif and I couldn't have been more wrong. It's an eagle. Well I can't remember what I had for dinner last night so that checks.

[@W_-sr5pn]

As someone who has issues with being under anesthesia, where my blood pressure drops extremely low 60/25. I’ve never had an issue prior to last year, and last two reactions were a surprise. Death or injury due to lack oxygen isn’t worth a tattoo, because you’re afraid of pain or impatient that you wanted it all at once.

[@FeralCreatureOfIncredibleRoses]

"When you give your grandma a kiss and she slips you the toungue" Pony are you ok?

[@sydh.1597]

I thought I was crazy when people were hating on MGK’s tattoo bc I saw it and immediately loved it! I don’t like black out tattoos but it looks so artistic on him and suits him sooo well!

[@ByGraceMae]

Have hand tattoos that were hand poked very well about 12 years ago. And while they are a bit cloudy, you can still definitely tell what they are and the ink it still definitely reading as black. If you are considering getting little decorative hand tattoos like dots and lines - maybe consider - and do your research - getting them hand poked by someone who knows their stuff of course.

[@2nicnag2]

Thanks for sharing this!! I’ve wanted a couple smaller tattoos but have held out due to blow out risk. My sons name blew out over a bone while the rest of the tattoo didn’t and that was the most important part.

[@xoejade]

I’m such a big fan of blackout tattoos and mgks looks sick, I love when old work pops through the negative space.

[@PaulD-g5Y]

Looks like shit when old tattoos pop through negative! Are you nuts! Messy

[@sevenhatesnine]

Billie’s back tattoo is always gonna upset me like damn all that real estate and that’s what she chose

[@xoejade]

Wait I’ve been a member for two years and 7months 😂 amazing

[@CYIQNCPLG-NH2]

To be a good tattoo artist you have to be heavily critical imo. I’ve had the same tattoo artist for all of my 9 tattoos. I absolutely love his work and every time I walk into his shop for an appointment, the design he draws up drastically exceeds my expectations and hold up very well. Dude’s a tattoo genius and like many other top level artists is very critical of the work other artists do. It’s not just about putting ink in skin. There are countless factors from design to execution that go into a solid tattoo. I dislike over 95% of tattoos tbh and I’m so grateful I found an artist whose style is exactly what I was looking for, is such a cool dude, and never misses.

[@stubbornsalad]

I would never be anesthetized for a tattoo. Getting a tattoo is about the experience. It's also dangerous to be put under, far more risky than being inked.

[@ryanimpink13]

I'm a sucker for these videos and this has the bonus of Pony. Take my like

[@norastorvik4155]

Stunned at the similarity of both you and the Second Chancer, a channel here on KZbin. Dudes are doppelgangers

[@billelliott7531]

Another great critique. I didn't know MGK was getting a blackout tattoo. Interesting. I have a couple new tats and I've been using the Mad Rabbit repair soothing gel on the new ones. It works like a charm.

[@Joyfulellyn]

The clip you used 5:20 something, has a date on the bottom that's not happening until next week. Did you learn to time travel?

[@30andBoard]

Am I hearing things or did Pony layer in VO saying “still looks like a cover up” when talking about Billie’s healed tattoo?😂👌🏼

[@minajones8341]

Not just you

[@KeieiH]

I'm staying home with a migraine today. 🤕 At least I get a nice video to treat myself before I drift to sleep. 😴

[@heidibevan1916]

O I know how that feels all to well 😢 please take care of yourself, plenty of fluids, a cold compress on you're forehead & eye's helps to, also plenty of rest ❤😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@desertatable]

If you can watch a video with a migraine, you don't have a migraine, you have a headache. Fact. You will know what 'm saying if you ever do have one- noise and movement are not an option, they make you vomit. Dark and quiet is all that can be tolerated. Migraine =/= headache.

[@KeieiH]

@@desertatable lol Hun, I know what I was having. I took my meds before it got to the point I was vomiting. My meds take the edge off enough for me to watch videos. I've been having them long enough to know when they're coming and what actions to take so I'm not getting to that point. 😒

[@christinathein951]

MGK wasn’t put under but he did have some sort of anesthetic assistance, he talked about in an interview.

[@savannahpowers8989]

What interview was that?

[@christinathein951]

@@savannahpowers8989 I may be mistaken as I can’t find the exact clip I saw but I believe he talks about it on his instagram (which I do not have) and I do know Megan Fox talks about his process on her last interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Sorry for not having the direct source for ya.

[@RealSalica]

MGK black cover up look soooo good !

[@jaleelwatson8203]

As always your tips highly appreciated 👍👌🔥💯

[@sophiecorleysimpson]

Māori pronunciation = mouldy but with an r. Love your videos Pony!

[@angelaisacliche]

came to the comments hoping someone had said this

[@oscar_romero]

Doctors are skeptical about using anesthesia for medical procedures, so its a definite no for tattoos... and I can't afford it either

[@Samantha-qj9wq]

My fingers ink looks like the day I got it done - and I love them just as much today as I did the day I got them. I specifically wanted them to look like they'd been put into my skin a decade before, and they look exactly like that still, almost an actual decade later. Hell, I fell asleep during my rib piece, but there was NO WAY I was doing that for my finger ink. (Its not a big piece, its at the top of my rib cage and about the size of my palm, so no huge feat, but something that still baffles me lol.)

[@2nicnag2]

The paint splatter tattoo isn’t something I’d get but it is a way to ensure yours is completely unique

[@michaelhodgson372]

i want to get a hand tattoo consisting of lots of eyes but after seeing how some of these hand tattoos came out, i think ill choose a different area to get tattooed instead.

[@the_karen_before_and_after]

Blackout tattoos are my favorite. I wanted one for years. I’m just terrified that with my dark skin it would look like I have some type of skin disease or something.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@heidibevan1916]

Hi Pony 👋 I've been a fan of tattoo artwork for a long time now but I'm scared of needles 😢 but after my sister got 1 (she sufferers from agoraphobia & only started going out about 5 years ago) I finally said to myself "F**K IT! If she can do it, the so can I!!" That was about a year & a half ago now & I have 7 tattoo's 🤭 & booked in for another 1 in about two months 🤭🤣🥰😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@keysmsh]

If you wanted some recommendation for celebrities and their tattoos to review, the members of the band Måneskin might be interesting! They did a couple interviews about their tattoos, particularly Damiano David and Victoria de Angelis, which were kinda fun

[@feliciaswart1218]

I'd for sure go under, I get so damned bored and my anxiety kicks me sitting still for long, 7 hours max so far... So that sounds awesome, have a snooze, wake up with new tattoos

[@margodphd]

You know you can talk with the artist or bring a friend or read or...

[@feliciaswart1218]

I was a massage therapist. It was common for clients to laugh when in pain and I’ve done it as well. She was laughing as a pain response.

[@MerryMoss]

3:52 "Run those puppies over" and then the googly eyes... men, oh men did I burst out laughing from that 🤣 And 5:47 too :')

[@beanhope8739]

I for one, am glad to hear you liked machine gun Kelly’s blackout tattoo 😊

[@BlearyLine7]

I'd love if you did a video on wrestlers' tattoos. I feel like they're super prevalent in pro-wrestling, and some guys have iconic tattoos, and some are infamously bad.

[@bishikon]

i don't know if im the exception to the rule but my hand and finger tattoos havent fallen out and aren't blown out either, maybe we'll revisit in 10 years lol

[@peter_panarchy]

kim k getting the most cliche tattoo ever on a whim because she had a crush on pete davidson is the fucking funniest karma for her bentley comment... like girl the bentley just got a bathroom stall marker job 😂

[@Lordhitchy]

I wouldnt get put to sleep, I like the pain 😂 its almost relaxing. Id spend the 200k on more tattoo's 😂

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

Celebrity and athlete tattoos tend to be bad because theyre usually free. Someone from their home town or country asks them if they want a free tattoo and they say yes most of the time for the same reason the "artist" offers said free tattoo.

[@Grisly69]

[@widowgirl1254]

Rihanna's finger tattoos are iconic

[@InclytusVirtue]

Never would I use anesthesia for a tattoo. You’re still going to go through the healing which would be hell for such a large piece

[@mikemdecker]

I think Haley biebers work is done by Mr K who does great work and lots of celebrities. Probably easy to cover with make up for acting

[@keifer7]

If I had the money, I would consider it. It just seems like a risk. Sure a large piece that would take many full day sessions done in 1 day is the most appealing part to me.

[@CrystalCarter343]

Did anyone catch Pony saying "may-or-ee" at 10:47 😂 Nice try though

[@janirekissa]

I love MGK's tattoo. Looks great and it's really well executed

[@Leatherargento]

He means "hyperbaric."

[@artist91fb]

They don’t even know what they have bought… it’s disheartening, really.

[@desertatable]

I think it's an appropriate faux pas, of course MGK would have a hyperbole machine! I believe he was referring to a hyperbaric chamber- these do work in terms of nitrogen narcosis and diving accidents, they help the body reoxegenate over a period of time and assist with rapid wound healing. He's bought time in one- people don't just own these things, it would be like him saying he owns an MRI machine- nope, you need science qualifications, licences and hospital budgets to own these things. Not MGK money.

[@Uncle_Smidge]

I think he's being a dork and referencing DBZ and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

[@margodphd]

​@@Uncle_SmidgeI think you are giving him way,way too much credit ^^

[@shatteredanis1592]

If you're getting anesthesia to get a tattoo, you're getting one just to get one. You're not getting one because it has any importance. If you were, you'd get the experience that goes with it.

[@jforden78]

Being knocked out or not ... seems like a whole day of ink work would chew up the skin regardless if you aren't there to suffer.

[@ZphyraRyuu]

I think in cases where you’re getting a large amount done, far more than typical, I don’t see too much of an issue as long as they have professionals to monitor the person going under. Same thing with other cosmetic mods like tongue splitting and what not. The same is true for plastic surgery. If the pain would be considered unbearable for the person, go for it. There’s no purpose other than “pride” others feel like they should have to endure the same pain they did or something. But I think laughing gas and stuff like used in dentistry would be a better option than anesthesia. Just my two cents.

[@sdfghjasdfghjk8175]

I don't think I'd go under for any tattoo. Apart from wanting to enjoy the process, which includes the pain, I'm just not interested in being knocked out/unaware of what someone is doing to my body. Top surgery was enough of that.

[@sarah204-19XX]

Glad you like mgks black out ❤️

[@HOOONIER]

See Jwow from jersey shore hand tattoo of her son....

[@A.I.Technology-h7o]

Please ask yourself, how many of your favorite Celebrities, Musicians and Actors have Fake Tattoos? Warner Music would have us get Indian Ink and Fake Tattoos for Tour and these Fake Tattoos would wash off in 1 Month and this was all too Common in the 1990's and 2000's. Who's Tattoos are real now? 🤔

[@kathrynnann__]

Getting put under for a tattoo means you lose a good part of the tattoo process. I love a good natter with my artist. I say that a week before a full day chest session tho. May have a different option next week 😂

[@irasan77]

Imho you have to earn your tattoo a little. The pain is part of it, also the sitting. A tattoo costs more than money.

I don't care if people want to spend an extra however many thousands to pay an anesthesiologist and sleep through their tattoos. Not my money or my body. But I don't need to do that. I don't need numbing cream either. But my last several tattoos I could have slept through and the only reason I didn't was not knowing the etiquette and if it would worry the tattooist.

Blows my mind that people are willing to get put under to get a tattoo and I'm seeing it become more and more popular for those who are willing to sell out ridiculous money for it. The risk is not ever worth the reward. Also, tell me how the fuck you're able to sleep after getting a FULL front and back tattoo. The shear amount of pain once you wake up and your pain receptors start firing again? Though I'm sure a famous rapper probably had access to some strong drugs.

[@NuclearLabRat]
