MGK Pushes Body to Limit for Blackout Ink, Falls Critically Ill
9 Jun
Summary
- MGK experienced severe illness, including yellowing skin and immobility, during his tattoo.
- He completed extensive blackout body art in just two months, a fraction of the original estimate.
- The rocker also recently tattooed his daughter Saga's name on his hand.
Colson Baker, also known as MGK, recently pushed his body to its extreme limits for a massive blackout tattoo. Originally expected to take two years, the musician insisted on completing the extensive body art covering his arms, chest, and stomach in a mere two months.
This ambitious timeline led to severe health consequences. After sessions impacted his lymph nodes, MGK became critically ill, exhibiting symptoms like yellowing skin, sleeplessness, and temporary loss of movement in parts of his upper body. Despite these alarming side effects, he persevered through the physically demanding process.
Ultimately, MGK emerged from the experience inspired, not just by the tattoo but by his ability to overcome the intense physical challenge. In a separate recent development, the musician also added a tattoo of his youngest daughter, Saga's, name to the back of his right hand.
