  • Over the past year and change we've recorded over 30 episodes of our introspective series Heavily Inked. And while everyone we've interviewed has been fascinating in their own way, there is something incredibly captivating about listening to people who have blacked out significant parts of their body. We've collected bits and pieces of some of our favorite interviews talking about blackout tattoos and thrown them together. Enjoy.

    Tattooing is extremely therapeutic for me. I started late in life, compared to my friends and colleagues. Once I split with my wife at age 26, and was in/out of prescription pill withdrawal, I needed something to give me a sense of time, place, and purpose. While I don’t love the blackout tattoo work, the concept is beautiful. Getting tatted while in opioid withdrawal was fucking nuts. 19 months opioid free and looking forward to finishing sleeves. I’d love to travel to a different country for some stellar work this year. Happy 2023. Cheers, everyone.

      I get it. I only had about 3 large tattoos and 3 small tattoos before rehab at age 31. By age 32 I had been tattooed 14 more times. It really helped me get through that part of early recovery when every day is still a battle. And still when my head is stuck in a bad place of not knowing what direction to take or what I can choose to let go of, it always gets put in perspective when I sit for an hour or more under the tattoo needle. I could have been panicking for a week about something but by the time im driving home from the tattoo shop I'll be laughing about that same problem that my mind had been consumed by prior

    Blackironmonk's space of untouched skin between his lips brings out his canines as he speaks; it's vampirish. The other streaks of skin between the black all add to the overall aesthetic. And the blacked out eyes are perfection. I dont really get the roots and leaf like shapes on his head, but he's undoubtedly the best blackout tattoo of this collection in my opinion.

      This is not sacrifice, Definitely not ultimate sacrifice.
      The ultimate sacrifice was the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary.
      This is sacrifice, that a man would die for the sins of the world.
      What these people have is a demonic possession that is telling them to destroy the temple of God.
      This is sacrifice that a man would give his life to save the very soul of these very unfortunate people that are as lost as a person can possibly be. These people are living so deep in darkness the pleasure they seek is to completely black out their bodies.
      And the only way to match the darkness on the inside of these people is to equally darken the outside of themselves.
      The guy at the 9:00 mark said people look at me like I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy. I agree 100% He is not crazy he is possessed by a demonic spirit.
      I pray he will REPENT of his sins and come to Jesus. And be baptized in the name of Jesus and be filled with the holyspirit. And then he will be cleansed of his sins and the blood of Jesus will wash him whiter than snow!

      The mental health crisis in America is beyond comprehension and is completely ignored. The country focuses only on curing symptoms and not curing problems. People are left to figure it out themselves. Thus all the body dismorphia, addiction, homelessness, domestic violence, self harm, public massacres, suicide, etc. All potentially avoidable if we focused on the mental health crisis. But instead of bringing any attention to the mental health crisis we just talk non stop about the symptoms not the cause

      This is not sacrifice, Definitely not ultimate sacrifice.
      The ultimate sacrifice was the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary.
      This is sacrifice, that a man would die for the sins of the world.
      What these people have is a demonic possession that is telling them to destroy the temple of God.
      This is sacrifice that a man would give his life to save the very soul of these very unfortunate people that are as lost as a person can possibly be. These people are living so deep in darkness the pleasure they seek is to completely black out their bodies.
      And the only way to match the darkness on the inside of these people is to equally darken the outside of themselves.
      The guy at the 9:00 mark said people look at me like I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy. I agree 100% He is not crazy he is possessed by a demonic spirit.
      I pray he will REPENT of his sins and come to Jesus. And be baptized in the name of Jesus and be filled with the holyspirit. And then he will be cleansed of his sins and the blood of Jesus will wash him whlter than snow!
      Glory to God Glory to the name of Jesus.

You have to develop a relationship with your artist before they start doing that kinda work.
