Asking Strangers to Get Matching Tattoos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- At Discover Connection we make videos that explore the power of human connection. So I decided to ask strangers to get matching tattoos with me, but not just any tattoo.. I asked them to get my face tattooed on their body and I get their face tattooed on mine. All to see if we could make a genuine friendship out of something this crazy!

I love how it was harder for you to find someone to cook dinner for, than find someone to tattoo your face on their body!
Hahaha right? 😂
absolutely hilarious
I think it’s cause people are more protective when someone wants to come into their home
Lol honestly I’d happily get a photo of a stranger tattooed on my body if they done the same thing, I already have many tattoos so it’s an easy decision..
But I don’t know about allowing someone into my home.. my neighbour robbed us once lol, no joke, so I’d probably do the tattoo before the dinner
their* :)
I like that the dad said a tattoo should be something super meaningful and I understand he doesn't think a stranger fills that requirement, but imagine what the world would look like if they did. If we thought the lives and well-being of perfect strangers was so important that we wouldn't mind having their faces tattooed on our bodies. I'd love to live in that world.
I would too, but not with a permanent tattoo 😜
Beautifully said 🙌🙌
such a good point
Beautiful comment ❤
This.
You can get a tattoo of whatever you want, but for those looking for justification and meaning, this is an incredible once in a lifetime experience that will outlive even the ink itself. If a tattoo had to mean something or be important, it doesn't get any more real than this.
And THAT is the truth
Tattoo artists agree generally that friend tattoos aren’t a bad idea, even if the friendship fades, the memories last. Breakups often don’t end so well, so many coverups are done for exes. This was a brilliant experience with a lot of meaning even if it was a single serving friendship.
Straight facts
@@Rattlsnke depends on how the friendship or relationship ended tho tbh
then its just a reminder of a piece of shit
@@Rumym8 Absolutely. I did an internship at a tattoo shop. I went to college and studied art and was debating becoming a tattoo artist after I graduated. I’d honestly never recommend getting a tattoo of a friendship or relationship under most any circumstance, even marriages. Tattoo artists make bank on relationship cover ups and they generally hate doing them. The only time I’d say 100% that someone should get a tattoo related to a person is if a person has passed away. I have still seen people want to get those taken off, but generally I would support that decision.
Our parents don't always have to agree with the things we do, but the fact that they let us make our own decisions is what matters. This was such a good video
I wish my parents thought like that. I’m 23 and they don’t respect any decision I make.
@@inpiecesa1956respect yourself enough to stop caring what they think. Do what makes YOU , YOU. You’re an adult.
as soon as i heard the guy in the purple shirt, i was like: this dudes canadian, hes gonna do it.
Yeah he instantly had the best energy 😆👌🏼
@@DiscoverConnection cant believe it was the second try
@@poopoofarter was ment to be
@@poopoofarterhonestly the first guy would probably do it with a bit more persuasion 😂
His shirt was pink not purple. Which one of us is color blind?
props to the tattoo guy for realizing that major location flaw. damn. he's a freaking legend for that bro.
The guy seems really empathetic..need more people like him in this world ..as always great video 🍻
Yeah great observation, he genuinely is one of the empathetic, down to earth people I have met 🙏🏼
persian guy is facing rape charges and assault on a woman, please remove his selfless promo you plugged in your video...@@DiscoverConnection
💯
Geran is just an all round good human being. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him in it.
OMG you couldn't have found a better match if you tried! Love this
Literally the perfect person! 🙏🏼
@@DiscoverConnection This also goes for the Tattoo artist! Those portraits are so clean they look laser etched... Shout out to jcee.good for the sick work!

I'm at the 5:30 mark and thinking they look like they were separated at birth.
I have no idea why this popped up for me, as I've never seen this before, but this was amazing! Instant subscribe! As a 55 year old woman, I feel to compelled to say to Brad's parents that his tattoo DOES have meaning. Whenever he looks at it, it is going to remind him of a crazy quest he set out on and how stupidly quick he found somebody just as open to the experience as he was to take him up on it. He's made a lifelong friend, I guarantee it. They've shared stories and some of their favorite things in life with one another. They've bonded. Seriously, what more meaning could you want a tattoo to have than all of that? It is a wonderful momento. And, on the outside chance he regrets it later, there is always laser or a coverup as options. I think this was one risk that paid off in spades!
I was looking for this comment! Spot on
Why is this channel so underrated?
About a year ago he only had like 2-3k subs, his growth is amazing.
@@aliweber3906 definitely is, but I feel it deserves more recognition than it gets 😁
@@brxttz it definitely will.
ikr man
Wasn't really blessed by the algorithm
The second I heard him speak I said “That is the most Canadian man ever and I love him.” This dude is so chill and positive, what a great human to have in your life.
His point about needing an outlet as men is really wise.
Funny that's sorta what fight club was about lol
Joke's on mom--we do want to see this video, and I think it's a fantastic opportunity to make a human connection! Good on you for taking such measures for your ideals and friendship.
Me before watching the video "What the hell, is he such an idiot?". Me after watching the video "I guess I am the idiot by judging the book by its cover".
I’m actually on the floor laughing at how fast you found someone to do this 😂😂
It's not often I care more about the characters in a video more than the video itself - I found myself watching this for Geran and Brad instead of the tattoos they're getting. Love it so much 🙌🙌
That was exactly what we hoped for! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
To Brad's parents,
You raised an awesome son.
Also, as you can tell by the comments from this video and by the community he's building, your comment about the concept of the video, who would want to see it and also the concept behind the tattoo aged like rank cheese, and as both a son and a father, I'm glad he proved you wrong, respectfully (even though he wasn't trying to do that at all.)
As a Dad, I completely relate to your fears, your thoughts and also your reasoning behind why'd you react in such a way. But as a son and a fellow millennial, the meaning behind the tattoo, the connection, story and emotions behind the tattoo far outweigh the fear of what is being put on our body. We have also grown up in a time where removing tattoos are also possible.
I hope you saw the true meaning behind this tattoo and this video project in its truest form and meaning. If not though, that's OK as well. Just know that he and y'all have a community that supports your son and that think just like he does - love over fear, experience over explanation, and that kindness creates connections that will outlast the test of time, and ink. And if you still don't think so,
Light & love ❤

Wow you truly understood the purpose of this video! I hope you know how much this comment means to me, thank you ❤️
Wow thats deep brought a tear to my eyes thanks ...luv from TEXAS!!
@@OsrsNooby If you sold out Madison square garden four times, you'd still fall short on 100k. That's a fuckload of people. Maybe not top 1%, but definitely a fuckload of people.
@End Twenty Twenty
Your point is well taken, however, the reason behind those tattoos wasn't just for RUclips views. They have a deeper meaning. This exercise in making a solid connection with a stranger is a success, regardless of the number of views.
I agree, you raised a great son. He's a visionary, compassionate, great young man
I dont have any tattoo. But damn this artist! I would totally let him 'draw' one on me. And I respect you two crazy guys. Hope you will become friends in a special way and stay connected
Definitely will be friends with him for years to come 🙏🏼
Same opinion here.
It actually has quite a lot of errors and varies a lot from the reference. No doubt he can draw faces it's just he needs work on keeping it true to the reference which is important with faces
@@monnke i think he did well accounting for the curvature of the human body. it's real hard to make a face foto-realistic when not working on a flat surface.
my mind is absolutely blown that this is an actual video. i’ve talked about this with my friends countless times, how it’s my dream to get a tattoo with a stranger, simply for the story and the connection and for finding someone bold and spontaneous enough with a fascination with making connections with strangers. this is. beautiful video with beautiful tattoo and beautiful souls. amazing.
Wanna do one together bro? ;)
yall are nuts. I love it 😂
Yeah lol
tats look great tho
When I saw both your tattoos on each other...The amount of trust you guys put in each other makes me cry...I dunno why...I just felt like crying...Human Connection is so beautiful...
“A boy cannot truly become a man without in some way betraying his mother.”
-Carl Jung
Mine was a tattoo as well. Not of a stranger’s face, but still... lol
"there's no reason for me to not trust you or be open with you. you haven't given me any reason not to treat you like a brand new human." - what a powerful statement!
I feel like the parents probably ended up really enjoying this video
haha, no I feel like they were legitimately disappointed, don't forget there is still a huge generation that disapprove of tattoos generally.
Youre so lucky to have done this with him and not anyone else, hes definately a special and rare person
Yo why are the tattoos sooo well done, though? Really captured the likeness
Just took time to find the right tattoo artist! 😄
I've worked in a tattoo shop and have a bunch of rediculous tattoos with crazy stories. I respect the heck out of you both for making a real connection and putting that story down permanently. You guys made friends for life and that means a lot. Thanks for the videos. Keep it up😁
This is really a criminally underated video of your guys. I really thought it was really pushing it past what you guys were doing before, exploring new territory, and jumping out of a comfort zone almost no other person would do.
I really do hope maybe at some point some random news thing sees this in time and yall get the recognition deserved!
This episode was waaaaaay better than I expected. I love you two. I’m impressed by your quickly formed brotherhood. It’s solid. After so little time. I can tell its genuine. Bless you two men.
you find the perfect guy to do this with and then you find the perfect tattoo artist...how?!
Lots of time hahah 😆
@@DiscoverConnection lmbo
Fate 🥲 lol
We're proud of you Brad and Geran ❤️❤️❤️ what a beautiful display of genuine human connection 🌈❤️❤️
Love how it only took you 2 tries to find a stranger this time around, compared to a bunch of tries with doors knocked on to make people dinner. haha. This tattoo has such a great meaning to it. The power of human connection is beautiful ❤️
I honestly can't think of a more meaningful tattoo. When you really think about everything it really represents, it's incredibly beautiful.
I love this energy of
Connection, I wish people weren’t so afraid of other humans all the time
It would be a beautiful world
Humans are ass
I love this. People shouldn’t take life so seriously! Your body is just gonna be rotting in the ground one day anyway, so while you still have it you should do what you want with it that fills you with joy, like tattoos or colored hair or crazy clothes that people judge for and stifles peoples uniqueness and creativity! Life is short enough, fill it with things that make you happy and create memories. On your deathbed are you more likely to say “i regret that drawing on my skin” or “im so glad i took a leap to create that experience and memory”
Great video. Keep up the good work guys 🙏
Ayee thank you brother 🙌🏼
Didn't expect to see you here.
Yeah all of his videos are amazing O:
@Jack Denmo U wont believe this but I was watching ur video and then this video came next xd
Jack is sneaking around :O
While I would never do something like this, I have to say that I admire your energy and commitment to push the limits of social norms to create bonds with random people, in all your videos not just this one. The fact that you both shared time doing something important together only adds to the experience and I appreciate your excellent camera work and editing that pulled us all into the story and made us a part of the experience. One final note: That tattoo artist is absolutely top notch. Whether it was part of your thought process or not, he's now a part of the experience as well, and I'm sure many customers will be hearing about this for decades to come. Keep up the awesome work of creating human connection.
Perfect idiots ❤️
❤️
Hi
Hello i saw the tik tok and i saw andrew from mahalo my dude end i was like is that really you andrew. I was suprised. Really like your videos btw, i am moutainbiker myself. Big fan.
I love mom's reaction when he tells her what he's doing... One word, two letters "No".
You are a badass! Keep doing what you're doing eh! The world needs more compassion and connection 💜 🇨🇦
I love you so much man! I’m sorry your parents had the reaction they did, reminds me a lot of my own lol I full on support you and your videos and I would love to be a part of one one day, keep up the good work brother!
Thank you for the support Nate ❤️ 🙏🏼
Every day I always remind myself that life is all about making wonderful memories. It’s a quick change to your day when you randomly think about a time that made you very happy. You might be having a bad day one day, and you look down at your tattoo and crack a smile because you remember the conversation you had around that campfire bonding.
Seriously, beautiful, wonderful, loving and positive memories make an impact and go a long way.
bruh how was it so easy for you to find someone lmao
I wasnt too surprised. There are a lot of open minded spontaneous people in the world. You just have to find them and read the energy.
Editing 😂
I think the cameras also helped. If there wasn't a camera it would look way more sketch and more people would probably have said no
sorry to be that guy but I'd go out on a limb to say they already knew each other beforehand.
This is a perfect example of how people become who they are either direction but always in relation to their parents.
Intro to CTA to jumping into the action was all done so smoothly 👌👌
Eyyy denmo
That dude has such an awesome mindset.
You showed the perfect way to talk/end a conversation with someone that you don't agree with. I truly appreciate and support that : )
I truly loved this, it strengthened my perspective on humanity and gave me a good amount or faith too... It feels like such a good gift to make a memory like this especially, as an adult, it is so much harder to make new friends.
These videos are literally making me smile from ear to ear love to see a fellow Canadian doing such different and cool things!
Same dude !
This video is the best one that shows that things people are wonderful. I love that it was so easy to find someone and surprised that the biggest "problem" was that your parents didn't like it but still they respected what you wanted.
I’ve literally been wondering where tf did they go ? No uploads in a month . Good things take time 😌 absolutely loved this video.
Working on uploading more consistently! Glad you loved the video ❤️
I just found your channel today, I started with a couple cooking for strangers video's, then watched the entire hitchhiking America in 30 days series and now this one, I just want to say these videos are very inspiring and I want to be a more open outgoing person, I can at times but tend to get wrapped up in my own shit and start being negative at times. I hope you and Geran became good friends after this and keep up the good work, you got a follow for life now.
I like the sentiment at the end of accepting that your parents were going to have a different opinion. Tough to do with loved ones! Also- fantastic tattoos!
The thought.
The energy i felt when I watched the whole video.
Human connection at its finest.
The reveals of each tattoo made me tear up.
I never realized that i had tears, not until wind brushed through my cheeks and my eyes felt a little cold...
This idea of human connection touched something within my heart... oh my God...
I love that I found and watched this video...
Thank you... Deeply...
I can't stop thinking about the fact that this has less than 19k views. howwww this video is sooo good
I'm a mom of a 19 year old daughter that wants tattoos. Her father and I have none. I can completely appreciate the process you went through to do this. My main concern for my daughter... Think it through, and let it mean something .
Garen seemed down before you said you'd get a tattoo of his face too hahaha
You are very lucky to find that guy that in the same moment said yes to the tattoo, and yes watching everything i agree with his mom - he was a unique soul, he is in another state of mind, love it, and plus he is handsome.
I watched this video thinking I wasn’t going to like it but it’s so neat that you guys connect with real people and it doesn’t take forever literally moments. Thanks!
i think next one would be asking a stranger to hang out get to know then you each pick each other taattos bonding connection is amazing
This is so heartwarming.. I smiled so hard seeing your reaction seeing each other's tattoos.. even with the mask on, I can feel the true happiness radiated.. that's a very genuine connection you made there! Keep up the great work guys!! ❤🙌
Words cannot describe how absolutely inspiring this video is! This deserves to be seen by so many people!
This has to get at least 1 million views!
Much love 🤙🏼
At first it did sound ridiculous. But, you sure showed us. You guys are my kind of people. Many of us are traumatized, yet still believe in the beauty of connection. And not many people have the courage or depth to experience such precious experiences. Bravo
I've literally watched about 8 videos back to back and this is the only one I'm commenting on. I love what you do and it sucks that your parents don't necessarily agree with your actions. It doesn't mean they're bad people but I felt this on a different level. So many times I wish my parents and relatives would let go of and think outside of the box verses how they were brought up. I love them nonetheless but it makes me sad to known that unhealthy generational cycles have trickled to so many eras. My Dad recently told me that his cure to this is just to accept folks for who they are but it still hurts and tugs at a few of my heartstrings. Continue to do what you are doing. You've given me back my hope in humanity and I love you guys 🥰
tattoos may be a huge commitment but you guys got an incredible artist so how could you ever regret it? it's art!!! beautiful!!!
Brad, your channel has quickly become one of my favourites, and I genuinely enjoy all your content! This is the connection rich life I aspire to lead, and I have always been the type to have a conversation with anyone. If you keep putting out amazing content, I will continue to keep watching.
In regards to your parents final response ...you can look at a Staind glass window (like a church window) and some can look at it at a bunch of problem peices turned into beauty. And some can say it's broken glass and half ass art. Keep doing what y'all doing
It really upsets me how you don’t get the views and numbers that you deserve, but honestly you gain something more beautiful than views and money and that’s the positivity, love, and connections you spread, you make these peoples life’s just a little more special for the time given and I love it, definitely is so inspiring thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What are odds that you’d match with the most perfect guy for this project? Geran was God sent.
Liking the video and commenting so your mom knows it was worth it!
This is an incredible journey man. I smiled through all of that. Thank you for bringing all the positivity you possibly can into this world. We all need that!
Man, your videos are just so inspirational. Every single video of yours that I’ve seen has just truly rocked my world. The fact that 2 strangers would just willingly tattoo each other face on themselves is just baffling. Please keep up the amazing work, it’s definitely not going unnoticed ❤️
As somebody who’s gotten plenty of tattoos and even several matching tattoos with strangers, friends, and s.o.’s, a tattoo that has a story behind it is never something you’d regret. I hate the older generations mindset where it has to have this grandiose meaning.
Have a sense of adventure and make friends along the way, man. The only way to live life to the fullest is to live one without hiding behind fear and to let go of regrets.
Man... this was so much more than a video about getting a tattoo. Way to make another beautiful human connection. You're right, you couldn't have found a better dude to get tattooed on your body!
Your folks were wrong. Im a grown ass 51 year old man (with no tattoos) and this brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely beautiful idea.
huge props to the tattoo artist, he made such an amazing work with the details too
I'm almost 35 years old and I don't have a single tattoo but I find this to be one of the most beautiful social experiments ever and I think the connection you guys made was great and I don't think you could have picked a better guy he seems like a really small person as do you great job keep it up..
That is a blessed set of guys hope you became good mates from this experience
Definitely did 😄
There is so much more bonding behind the scenes that doesn't make it into the videos! Genuinely such a dope dude!
@@DiscoverConnection glad it worked for you both and I hope your mum has changed her mind now lol can't wait for another one of these. Stay blessed and humble 🙏
I think doing something like this is very memorable and not only that but you are making connection and that's going to be a memory all by itself having the tattoo on you it's just going to make it a forever memory and perhaps a forever friend
this video just put me in such a good mood in a way i cant explain it, there needs to be more people in the world like you two with overflowing positivity
i’m serious why doesn’t this have 10mil views this is so awesome
i love how you shared your livex with eachother! this was so beautiful
I still don’t understand how you aren’t like one of the top 20 you tubers right now! You’re sooooo amazing!! 🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯
I hope this video and your channel blows up even more! I love your videos, they have had a very positive impact on my life and I thank you for that 😄
So happy to hear that they have had a positive impact! That is the goal 🙏🏼
That first part shows exactly how we should handle disaproval from our parents or other people we care about
3:54 Matt's reaction was hilarious hahahaha
I just “discovered” this channel through the 30 day series and was fully convinced the tat was of an idol or famous person. This is so much better 😂
Holy crap ! Those are incredible tattoos!!
J-Cee is such a dope artist 🙌🏼
Boys being boys is the most wholesome but absolutely hilarious thing I've ever seen
We need to keep reminding him every video that he still has to go to France to see those two girls again.
Definitely, and as a French guy I really want to see it happen haha
This is the definition of wholesome man. Your parents are gonna change their minds after watching this video.
Yooo this video is incredible and is done soooo well. This really made my heart happy as someone who would definitely consider doing this.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it 😄
This is wild! One of my friends got his best friend's face tattooed on him but going in as complete strangers is just next level cool!
I love the dude's energy. This video is so great. Y'all remind me a lot of the channel Yes Theory.
I don't know which is a better art!
The connection, characters of these two or the actual tattoos!!!
Everything about this video is pure MAGIC!!
I really enjoyed this video and kudos to both of you incredible souls for living your best lives!!
💪🏻👏🏻🥰
This is the type of energy I’m trying to cultivate haha So dope guys! Keep up the great work! 🤙🏻
It's a great energy to have 🙌🏼
Great video!! Geran is an amazing guy. Big dude in MMA but so kind and sincere!! He is a person that you can meet and automatically like him!!
Found this through reddit, might just be my favourite video in all of youtube
6:49 lmfaoo imagine the guy who felt left out hugged the camera man💀😂
