That Judas priest pain killer back piece is amazing! You should make a video sometime showing the process of how you do something like that

[@MadiDanger]

I’m actually working on one ;)

[@UmGoticoAleatorio]

As a goth, i must say that your styles are on other levels! Love it! 🖤🖤🖤

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you!!! 🖤

[@hektorlinko]

Hell yes! 😎🤘😝

[@MacaldaReye]

Me: only finishing up my first jacket Madi:

[@MadiDanger]

To be fair I don’t think I actually consider any of these to be finished!

[@winwinmyfriend4727]

That Judus Priests is freaking awesome 😮.Talented all the way.

[@krell.1415]

Damn those paint works are so impressive.

[@noodelia1511]

I freaking started following you a few moons ago on other socials and have recently been going on my own journey of finding myself in a way. Im making my first battle jacket to go to my see Slipknot for the first time ever in September! I’m 30 this year and feel like a late bloomer but gosh dang it learning to sew from you was freaking neat lol Keep on rocking!

[@mrlncognito]

My favorite is the one with The slits and Horrorpops The red collar is sooo cool!

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! It’s definitely one of my favorites as well!

[@sebastiengermain267]

Love the jackets!! You are an incredibly gifted artist when it comes to detail. The Judas Priest logo and artwork are insane! It looks professionaly done! We would love a jacket DIY video, especially for the band logos. The last one with all the fringes looks really fun =P

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! I do plan on making a full jacket DIY video!

[@KursseNYC]

The first jacket reminds me of the 80's goth scene. Really took me back. All your jackets are rad. Kudos for hand painting everything. Outstanding work!

[@rubio6754]

I love the personality coming through with those jackets. I just got my first patch and i really wanna start a jacket but idk where to start, so i at least got a back patch of Dio because that's my favorite band 🤘🏻

[@annieeileen720]

I remember my mom.havong a fringe sleeve jacket in the 90s. Glad they are coming back

[@DCMcF]

lovely talent, airbrushed & fine tip brush & never go wrong with the chrome spikes💜💀

[@frigoria1313]

Think I like the design of the full studded sleeves with the painted lapels best, but they’re all rad. The gradients on the Priest back piece though are astounding. Great video and great resource as I plot to, hopefully, not destroy my own jacket.

[@SavageAudits]

I would love to see a video of you painting a logo on a jacket. Your work looks so good.

[@MadiDanger]

I have one I’ve been filming! It’s the entire process of painting, studding, etc. It’ll probably take me some time to edit tho!

[@vietbluecoeur]

I’m not at all a punk, but I adore customizing jackets and I gotta say, not only did this video serve as great inspiration for some ideas but it also introduced me to a ton of fantastic songs! Namely: for a long time, I’ve really struggled to find a goth group or sound that fully caught me, but your video has introduced me to Horror Vacui and I‘ve been listening to a lot of their work in the weeks since! Spotify is also now giving me a lot more goth and rock songs where I’m like, “Oooh, wait, that’s nice,” and so I very much think that I owe you thanks for that! 🖤✨

[@razvanrepciuc3284]

This is the most weirdly wholesome channel I've stumbled across. Great job on those jackets also, there's alot of love placed in those.

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you so much!!! 🖤

[@bathory5026]

I love your style. I wish I had your DIY talents. I'd love to see a jacket that combines all your styles into 1, because it would better represent who you are, imo. I'm subbed now and look forward to more content.

[@ZoSo_x]

That 80s metal jacket is my favorite and that Judas Priest artwork with Warlock is just too perfect 🤌✨ Also, I think Elvira with some bats around her would look good on that horror theme jacket 🦇

[@MadiDanger]

That’s my favorite one right now as well and that’s a good idea!

[@shotyslawa]

At first I thought the chain on your belt/skirt was added directly to the first jacket and now I'm lowkey tempted to do exactly that to one of my jackets :D

[@dark_neverland]

I like that the bands on each sleeve go different directions that's probably a weird thing to notice but I think it's cool

[@spidertopus]

that paintjob with that judas priest jacket looks pretty kickass, holy shit. as someone who likes to make modifications onto my clothing at times as another fellow goth, makes me jealous. i'd probably never do nearly as good as that with my clothing. fangtastic work as always. 🖤

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! I think part of the beauty of battle jackets is that everyone has different skills which makes them all unique 🖤

[@my_tube9405]

Higher quality that even the stuff bands wore back in the day. They either had homemade, rough stuff in the underground bands. Or no logos and more stylish stuff. You've mixed both very well. You certainly could sell this stuff or do designs for bands. Great work. - Saw you on 'incel or metal lyrics' and thought....looks like a prettier Banshee mixed with Elvira and Blackie Lawless. Great stuff. Enjoyed it! If you ever move to custom work for others, etc. Start off selling for high dollar and don't undercut yourself. You have a great talent for this.

[@Crysania1891]

Just a tip, when complimenting someone - don't insult or devalue someone else to get there. I know that women don't appreciate being "elevated" by putting another woman down. For example, "you're not like other girls" is not a compliment. No hate, but "Like a prettier banshee" could've been phrased a bit better.

[@valentemolinar5781]

I have been a metalhead since 1986. And I love punk and goth. I've made metal and punk vests. I'm working on a new thrash metal jacket. I have three goth vests. I'm working on a new goth vest with a killing joke back patch as a tribute to the late geordie walker. I'm 50 and love metal and punk and goth. I'll never change thank you for this video.

[@flhr2522]

Im on my third "all around" battlevest, with every metalband I like. And I want so hard to build a ultra spiked leatherjacket, but this is so expensive where I life😂

[@sheepshoop6190]

I absolutely love your makeup, it gives off such Siouxsie Sioux vibes!

[@McFordWilliam]

Wow, your DIY-jackes are absolutely phantastic, you are very talented and skilled.

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you!

[@JeremyBowkett]

Hi Madi. Kickass collection! Your passion and dedication really shine through. Way to represent Unleash The Archers! I love those fellow Canucks!

[@sirgroot9]

your skills are super impressive, wow!! everything looks great! thanks for the tour! 😄🖤

[@josefacastrocastillo9803]

Oh I liked it The Sisters of Mercy jacket. I love the music of The Sisters of Mercy group. Regards from Spain.

[@metalfan7270]

I literally didn't know u had a channel I'm here from the incel deathcore vid LMFAO. Cool insta too

[@janiezyje]

I'm really impressed with this Judas Priest logo and artwork painted on a leather. Fantastic work!

[@ex0ticc]

All of these are INCREDIBLE 🖤👏🏻

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! 🖤

[@VictorianDeadrose]

Eeeek! I'm obsessed with your art and the look of all your jackets!! 🖤I'm currently looking for a jacket to start customzing... but its hard to find leather jackets for an affordable price.

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you so much! I usually have a hard time but eventually find cheap options when thrifting or on poshmark, my favorite new bought jacket was from the vegan section on Straight To Hell’s site! (Their vegan options are a till a little spendy but worth it!)

[@schmeeb7807]

beyond talented! that’s some gorgeous paintwork and it’s so clean! the hardware is amazing too ✨

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! 🖤

[@withsapphires]

holy crap, those look like they were painted by a machine they are so good! you are extremely talented. you should consider doing a tutorial type video. And you have Vision Video on an arm, goth dad im sure is very honored 🖤⛓️🥀💀

[@MadiDanger]

I have a full jacket process with lots of painting footage almost fully filmed so… soon!

[@withsapphires]

@@MadiDanger yaaaay!

[@thedragonsunicorn]

@@MadiDanger damn it! i wish I hadn't known that cuz now that's given me a new excuse as to why i can't finish my half complete jacket just yet 💀 my excuse: waiting for madi's video to come out

[@jimstevens1726]

Wow! You have a lot of talent. Beautiful painting work. You put so much into your pieces.

[@loganscott8243]

The battle vest look really amazing and love how the spike on leather also really love the horror movie vest you have 🤘🖤🤘🦇💀

[@Austin_H_1900]

You’re painting is amazing, and you did so well with the jackets! Where did you find the Trenchcoat? I never can find a Trenchcoat for sale some place. Great video!

[@MadiDanger]

The trench coat is from a friend, but she thrifted it

[@Austin_H_1900]

@@MadiDanger thank you!

[@ToxxicBats]

These are crazy good. The fact that you hand painted (and probably without a stencil??) that back patch with Judas Priest! These are all amazing and super inspiring. I saw in the comments that you’re making a process video for one and I’m really excited to see. Just curious, what kind of paint do you use for the leather jackets?

[@MadiDanger]

Yeah I don’t really use stencils, sometimes I wish I was better at that since it would be a lot less time consuming hahaha! I use Angelus leather paint!

[@brianfisher58]

Amazing work. You're vests and jackets are awesome in general, but you are an outstanding painter, wow! Grim Reaper, Venom, and Metal Church patches! Sisters of Mercy featured on two back pieces, hell yeah!! I just recently found out about Rosetta Stone, and I love what I've heard from them, they definately caught my attention. Another band I finally listened to I also love alot is 1919. Alice Cooper, The Cramps, and Danzig!!! Awesome as hell work 🙌🙌🙌

[@kirbylover5418]

This is so inspirational! I’ve been working on my first battle vest and got into cross-stitch so I’ve been making my own patches! Personally, I wanna blend cute and metal. So have a hella cute cross stitch of a frog or kirby next to a beheading. Plus it’s super fun to make it all your own, it feels like a cool form of self expression :)

[@MadiDanger]

Hell yeah! It’s gonna turn out so great!!!

[@halv3537]

Those are SO AWESOME, I love them

[@hektorlinko]

This is a VERY FUN video! Love how you represent all the bands in all the genres. Gotta love King Diamond, The Sisters, to Rosetta Stone to 45 grave and then some. I'm surprised I didn't see any Christian Death or Specimen, etc. but I'm sure you have tons of other spread across the pad and so much apparel and time to work with. This was great and fun to watch. Thumbs Up and shared. A+++++

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! Maybe one day if I make a deathrock specific jacket!

[@theblaqueashley8530]

Woahhhhh you’re amazing and super creative! I love this so much 🖤

im 54 now was a punk then a goth ,my first jacket was a mess lol, did my first epualettes in red bordered with white five silver general stars on that lapels in red bordered with white with normal cone studs ,used to love pyramid studded belts too you forgot the Damned as great grandad of goth along with bauhaus and banshees ,great to see fantastic artwork work keeping creativity alive ,best wishes from the u.k. the home of it all

[@sethputnamsghost]

Beautiful battle jackets. I have two sleeveless denim vests full of Death Metal patches, actually I should say one is still in progress. There is an amazing band called Final Gasp, sounds like Samhain but very much paving their own path highly recommend and they just came out with a new album. Good video. Damn you’re painting of the Venom logo is perfect!!! Excellent job little sister!🤘🔥🐐

[@Sanguivore]

Your painting skills are amazing! o-o

[@KnotSoProGamer]

I would def like to figure out putting studs on a piece of clothing. Awesome work. Each literally a piece of art.

[@themartinisong]

These are so cool, amazing painting skills!

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you!!!

[@dgraveley34]

This project I’m conceptualizing is not goth per se but it is a customized hoodie with the mortal Kombat X style ERMAC alternate look for his default kostume. It look nearly like the hoodie already but I wanted not to make a cosplay jacket as a casual looking and functional hoodie as well. The only hard part is a) have no idea how to put a split down the middle emblem of his order or whatever on the chest and abdomen. b) I have only a vague idea how to sew and have very ambitious ideas for it. And c) finding the time to get buckled down and actually focus on it.

[@RealSteveRodgers]

I love what you've done

[@Batlord_Carcas]

I love 45 Grave, Vision Video, Sisters Of Mercy, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Misfits and Horror Vacui! Great background music choices! Love as well Alice Cooper, W13, 1ED, JP, Warlock, Candlemass, Venom, and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond! Tbh I'd be good friends with your husband and you! I'd love to introduce my babyghoul to you both too! Omg the evil dead and horror patches rad too! For BxM I am a fan of Venom, Dark Throne, Dimmu Borgir, Vader, and Mayhem

[@caprisunkid2459]

You have great style and talent.

Thank you! 🖤

[@victoriaann4762]

I’m strangely tickled by the hearse pin with a coffin that comes out. 😆 Where is it from? All of these jackets are works of art! 🖤 Your paintwork is stunning, and the logos look so good that I thought they were printed on. I’d love to see a DIY video of a fresh jacket! Especially for the lace and chain strips on the shoulders.

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you so much! I bought the hearse pin from a local curiosity shop but I think the brand is either Sourpuss or Kreepsville 666. I do plan on making a full jacket process video, hopefully it’ll be up soon! 🖤

[@victoriaann4762]

@@MadiDanger Awesome, can’t wait! I loooooove Sourpuss. They have great punkabilly and goth clothes, and their customer service is fantastic.

[@trinket.enjoyer]

ive always wanted to make a battle vest or jacket but im anxious cus im so bad at remembering things and dont want ppl to think im a poser, i also dont know if mixing genres is seen as tacky or not,, eeek tips anyone??? T.T

[@MadiDanger]

You can mix genres and even more like bands and movies! If someone calls you a poser for not being able to name something it can be extra fun to act extra dumb about the topic just to piss em off

Love all your Jackets! I have one jacket I worked on years ago but it doesn't fit anymore and my brain got in the way 🤣. The other jacket I have has not been painted whatsoever.

[@MadiDanger]

You should make a new one!

[@winternightmarecrochet]

@@MadiDanger my paints are really old and dried out and I can't afford any right now. But I've been making a lot of crochet cardigans. Harder to paint but definitely easy to sew patches on 🤣

[@vvvvinvasion]

THE ROCKY HORROR ONE OMG 🥹 need!!!

[@martinsane]

Awesome. What an effort (s). How many hours do you estimate for each piece? I can't pick a favorite as each is unique and well thought out. Reminds me of my battle vest from high school, 1985, yep I am old. I actually gave it to my daughter so the vest lives on almost 40 years from its inception. The vest was a fairly simple construct, mostly spikes and squared bangles that created simple line work, some crosses and a large pentagram on the back. Its origin was a LEVI jacket with the sleeves surgical removed. I made a second LEVI jacket later in the 80's that I drew the Lizzy Borden logo on the back from their Give 'Em The Ax" EP. Looked really cool and probably a logo befitting of your talents.

[@MadiDanger]

Some of them just took a a few days of sewing so not too bad, the painted and studded ones took anywhere from weeks school to over a month of straight work. Hell yeah that’s awesome and Lizzy Borden is fantastic! 🤘🏻

[@annieeileen720]

Your very talented

[@user-gi9nw7yw1i]

Bad Ass. I've been collecting metal bottle caps to flatten, burn the paint off with oil and a torch to give a dark patina and then use as scale armor on my leather.

[@Sanguivore]

That’s a really cool idea! :0

[@nemanja7409]

Beautiful my dark leather queen 👑🖤🖤🖤

[@SpunkMonkey]

Your line quality is stunning, and how you paint cleanly right up to the edges of the stitching?! Do you pull the stitches and re-sew after painting? What paints do you use that are so forgiving of the leather's flexibility? So, so many questions....

[@MadiDanger]

I just use Angelus leather paints and the smallest detail brushes I can find!

[@josieinchainsss]

lovveee these!! can i ask what type/brand paint did you use for the white designs on your leather ones?

[@DJ-hk3ge]

What kind of paint do you use? Also can you make a video or a list of 80s metal bands, i like slayer, iron madien, king diamond, dio that kind of stuff-but i want to get more into it

[@MadiDanger]

I use Angelus leather paint! I have one up already where I talk more about 80’s metal bands/albums I like, but I don’t think it’s the greatest and will probably be making a better one at some point! I also have this Spotify playlist if you use Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/5bUvKkMdBUx6o8XurTuFVp?si=f-AWTWBDSFS6AG4205fF5w There is also a smaller version of the playlist on my KZbin if you look at the playlists I’ve made 🤘🏻
