Man With 848 Square Tattoos Left Sneezing Black Ink And In Extreme Pain
“Do not do this at home, there is no professional that can do this.”
Matt Gone has 848 small black squares tattooed onto his body, which has earned him a title from the Guinness World Record. The US-based got his first tattoo in 1985 and has since had his tongue and eyeballs tattooed, a striking shade of magenta with gold.
He believes he’s the sixth person worlwide to get his eyeballs tattooed and had initially opted for blue and green but added the new color three years later.
However, the tattoo lover is now warning those who desire to follow in his footsteps and has urged people not to get their tongue inked. This comes as Matt admitted that it’d been a pretty painful experience to get so much ink at times. “The most painful spot on the body to get tattooed? The nose. That is the most painful, even the baby toes, the nail beds hurt a lot.”
“I sneezed up black ink for 20 minutes after that, and it was the most painful thing I’d ever been through,” Matt said as he appeared on the Guinness World Record YouTube channel.
He continued: “The eyelids are very painful, even with an anesthetic. I have the inside of the eyelid tattooed, people generally only tattoo up to the eyelash line. The words people generally doing a bit of heavy lifting there.” Matt has had several piercings and a laser branding on his chest that has left a scar. His tongue is more tattooed than any other person in history as it’s linked to the base down in his throat.
“Do not do this at home; there is no professional that can do this. My tongue is tattooed, but it was hypodermic injections. I modernized the technique for tongue tattooing back in 2010,” Matt urged.
Nonetheless, his record had painstakingly been confirmed by two doctors who counted up every of his black square.
