Machine Gun Kelly, known as MGK, showcased new ear tattoos at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammys party on January 31st. The rapper, 35, sported abstract designs on both ears, notably featuring the word "ether" and a red heart on one. This appearance followed his candid discussion about the intense and painful process behind his large blackout tattoo.
The blackout tattoo, which spans MGK's upper torso and both arms, was revealed in February 2024. He shared that the extensive artwork required 44 needles and was described by the artist as "the worst torture." MGK explained that the tattoo was inspired by a desire to "redesign the anatomy" of human skin, referencing it as a spiritual endeavor tagged with "spiritual purposes only."
