The eye "tattoos" look so cool, but are SO high risk and aren't even technically a tattoo. It's a separate kind of body modification, and it's difficult to get, for a reason. So dangerous.
They are not as dangerous as people think, OK if you go to someone who don't know what they are doing (which happens most of the time something gose wrong) then yeah but if you go to some one who knows what they are doing then there is only a small chance of something going wrong
I finally got my first tattoo, and I felt like this would be a fun place to share it. I have a frog with a butterfly on its head. I got it over some of my old self harm scars and the artist was really sweet and kind to me, and I’m so excited to go again
I love that you said that discrimination against tattooed people is not the same as discrimination against a certain race or something like that. Every kind of discrimination is unnecessary and bad of course, but I totally agree that it’s not comparable.
I love being able to be both at the same time. I feel like having a lot of tattoos has almost given me permission to dress more "girly" or "basic" and still feel like myself, because I don't necessarily need to use clothing to express my "alternative" side - It's there no matter how I feel like dressing.
It's strange, but when people with eye tattoos and face tattoos cover up the facial ink . . . for some reason they look more sinister. I can't put my finger on why. Great video, Lauren, and I hope your tattoo today went well! 😊
I worked in high-end retail before I went back to uni, and there was a lovely couple that used to come in pretty regularly, and they owned a tattoo studio in the area and were both covered in tattoos. I was the only person that ever served them and everyone else basically used to run away or pretend to be busy. They were SO nice (and I got so much commission!). If i wasn't in they would just leave and they used to ask which days I would be in so they could have someone nice!
Honestly i feel like such a "proper" "boring" "judemental looking person when no one can see my tattoos. Its an unrealistic insecurity for me. I have wanted tattoos my whole life. Pen and sharpie arms all throughout school 🤣 i just didnt feel complete. Now i just look at my tattoos and im so happy. Like using my arms and hands im like yeah thats fuckin aesthetic lmao. Yeah thats me 🤣🤣🔥🤦🖤💀
Omg! I have been wanting tattoos since I was 13, I am 23 now and I am saving up and waiting until my laser hair removal is done to finally start getting tattooed. I already have a few piercings and when you can't see them and meet people with body mods I almost wanna run up to them and show them that I am not that regular boring looking person lol. Every time I get a piercing I have been wanting for years I feel like I am coming closer to looking like my true self, like I am supposed to.
@@Nat-qi4eg Unfortunately not, the laser burns of the hair follicles by following the dark pigment and if I darken my skin via tattoos, the light will be absorbed by the outer layer of the skin and will not get to the root of the hair. Plus I have invested so much money into this already, I really wanna finish it now
@@kurowskysarah1999 thanks for replying, that's good to know because i want laser hair removal on my legs in the future but also want them tattooed. makes sense to finish it first!
I'm 24 and just started with body modifications. This year I got three lobe piercings, bleached my hair for the first time to dye it a bright colour instead of a dark red I'd done in the past and got my first tattoo. Where the hell did this person get all his money?
I'm aussie, and I'm thinking maaaaybe because of his body mods he might have been a tradie? Electricians, construction workers etc in Australia can get gooooood pay and they can look however they want. I have no idea what he does but being so young and so covered I'm thinking that's a good job he would've been able to make a lot of money in and be able to wear all that ink freely. But also it's 2022 so who knows nowadays!
@@ArtificialSuicid but he was getting mods since he was a kid. Obviously he wasn't an influencer back then and got followers because of how he looks NOW
I started stretching my ears at 12 but my dad has stretched ears so I was taught to take my time and do it the right way. I didn’t get into sizes that were noticeable until I was 16 and I’m 20 now but I don’t regret it.
I also started stretching at 12. I kept them very small until i was 16-17 (since i was keeping it from my parents hehehe). I love them. I am still stretching (21 yrs right now)
I stretched in high school, borrowing tapers, skipping sizes, home piercing, etc Never got a blowout or infection, had a gf give me a lopsided lobe piercing once haha Went up to 2g & they've been out for 7+ years now. Holes never fully closed up or healed, but they look p normal I never get comments on it.
I love seeing how diverse the range of 'alternative' styles are. I have coloured hair and tattoos, so I'd be considered alternative in some sense, but I love colour and dresses. Seeing so many different expressions and styles is so interesting.
Lauren you are incredibly beautiful, empathetic, and intelligent. If you meet someone and they judge you for your gorgeous tattoos, then they are NOT worth your time! Good riddance to rubbish!
They seem so nice, good for them for taking this transformation ´challenge’ and good for them for being comfortable in their own skin. Great vid as always ♥️
I wonder if another part of it is that it's not real skin visible, no veins, blush, pores, etc.. so maybe it would come across a bit uncanny valley on top of suddenly having no tattoos.
Because of my job, all of my current (and planned) ink is usually hidden. It makes it kind of like I have a secret identity when I leave work; the tattoo work can be out and I can be the ME me, not the work me. Edited for typo.
I had a manger like this, always wearing long sleeves. It was awesome to see her come in on days off in shorts and a tank top, covered in artwork. Didn't even recognize her the first time! :)
Wow that guy’s so cool I love when heavy tattoos are done in an “aesthetically pleasing” way! I know that the eyeballs are not the safest thing to ink but his face is really cool, I can see why she prefers him with the tattoos!
The aesthetic of both of the people in those videos is just so immaculate ✨️ Ethan seems like a very sweet guy and Jodie(?) is just so attractive, damn 😄 Thanks for the great video 💙
It's true what you say about modified people wanting to fit in when we're younger. I was that way through until just a few years ago. Piercings were always beautiful to me. I wanted to get my eyebrow done in high school but knew better than to ask my parents. By college I had 3 lobe piercings and it stayed that way until I was 39. In the span of 2 years I've gone from 6 to 15 piercings including 2 facial piercings. Not everyone in my family likes them but it's so liberating to finally have something that makes me feel confident enough to be ok standing out for having more piercings than most people my age. And I'm not even close to being done. It makes me feel beautiful. Why would anyone want to keep someone from feeling their most beautiful?
I wonder if they'd do the reverse take a ''normal'' person and make them look ''alternative'' so like piercings, wacky jhhjair and tattoos I wish I had embrace the ''alternative'' look more as a 16 yo, I dyed my hair but it was very similar to my norm hair colour, im 30 now with 13 tattoos, stretched ears , did have my nose pierced (TWICE) but it fell out TWICE and not going to try again.
If you want an easy to manage nose piercing 10/10 recommend septum, i got mine in 2015 and haven’t had jewelry in for 5 years but can still put it though if i want, i did a few days ago, and if you use a horse shoe shaped ring it can be flipped up super easy
Hello Lauren!!! You are my favorite RUclipsr and I just wanted to say that you always make my day when I see your posts! You’ve inspired me to get my own tattoos one day once I turn 18! I hope your doing well! Thank you so much for posting!
Ethan is only two years older than me and my whole family wants me to slow down with my tattoos. I have 4 and I'm planning number 5 to be my right elbow.
I feel like they should also have gone out in public after the transformation, especially for Ethan who wondered what it would be like to not be stared at all the time. Maybe don't take him to the fanciest restaurant still, since his eyes were inked and the stretched ears are so visible, but at least let him have a feel of walking down the street or something, just for fun? :) I want to get quite heavily tattooed and I always thought I'd do my hands and neck, but the older I get the more I like the ability to go out in public with no tattoos visible... Still haven't decided though! I'll probably do hands, but I think I've decided my face and neck is my "no tattoo zone" (Edit: in reference to the couples thing, my husband has no tattoos and no plans to ever get any, so we'll be an "odd" couple too haha)
Yeah! I'm literally just debating a sleeve, but I've heard a lot about people wishing they could choose when their tattoos are visible. Depends so much on life context I imagine, largely heard it from parents in suburbs, not so much people in more tattooed city centers/normalized workplaces.
I'd say maybe "normie" since I think lots of alt people get what that means lol. I think I'd look weird af if I covered my tattoos with makeup and also my natural hair color and took out some of my piercings. That's like, different planet territory 😂. Also that is very young to start stretching lol. I was almost 18 when I started stretching and I'm 32 now. It took me years to get to 16mm and I've stayed there since
It’s funny to me that big burly biker guys covered in tattoos have such a bad stereotype when I hear and see them helping minorities and women and children be safe from the actual bad guys who often don’t have many tattoos if any at all, I guess it’s just odd to me. I do recognize that anyone can look a certain way and be bad or good but it’s just a little off putting watching movies with these big scary bikers who hurt people when where I live they’re often the ones protecting people at pride parades or at protests. (I live in America) I also have a few family members who were those big scary biker guys way back when and they’re the nicest ones most of the time. I know this is very off topic but I wanted to mention it since it’s interesting to me, great video so far can’t wait for more! ❤️
I feel like a lot of the people that go on here would like their "Transformations" more if some of their tattoos weren't covered so heavily, where they got to see themselves with their tattoos/ some of their tattoos. Of course you're not going to completely fall in love with a look that your artwork is being completely covered 🤷♀️ Love you girl!💛
I related to you saying that you get told to slow down. I’m 20 and have 3 tattoos (all kinda medium sized but not massive) and I keep getting told to “slow down”. Like… I only have 3 tattoos? How much slower can I get lol
I've gotten almost 20 tattoos in the past 3 years 😅 the only person who's told me to slow down is myself, because it's bad for my bank account sometimes
That second one, I hate that dress color. I wish these transformation videos theyd stop bringing that pink tone to Everyone. Like you can do the feminine look without pink cause so many light pinks wash people out, especially the paler people that they tend to transform lol
I changed my look one time from emo to girly cuz I didn't know how my husband would take it and I hated it I just wanted my black fluffy hair back and now I know he loves me for me no matter how I look which is amazing so always love yourself who cares what others think your perfect the way you are don't change that
Random but totally relate to the glasses thing 😂 my long distance is getting much worse and I really need to wear my glasses more often but only use them for reading This is so weird!!!
I have two face tattoos that you can’t even see if my hair is down, and I’m lucky enough to not have anyone say anything about them. However, mainly older people love to just stare at them when I have my hair pulled back to the point where I’m uncomfortable because even when I stare back and make it known that I know they’re staring, they still don’t look away. One lady even continued staring me down while I passing and made a show of stepping even farther away from me. Like ma’am, you made me clutch my purse tighter too and walk faster. Lol
Just my opinion. I have quite a few tattoos, not as many yet as I want. But, if you do “weird” things for everyone to see, they will stare. I’m “old” so I get remarks and stares because of my tattoos. The difference is I don’t give a shit who thinks what. I’m happy in my life and I enjoy my tattoos. Cruel people will be cruel if you’re tattooed or not. It’s their issues, not yours. ❤️
this reminded me of that doja cat clip, she says something along the lines of "WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD GO OUTSIDE LOOKIN AS GOOD AS YOU LOOK ALL FRESH AND SEXY AND GOING OUTSIDE" 😂
I created T-shirt for ppl who look scary but are t, for this reason 💖 “I’m not an asshole, that’s just my face” or “I’m not an asshole, that’s just my tattoos” 😂
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your reactions and I agree though, without my tattoos I would not feel right. I got them for a reason. I'd feel strange without them. 😕
Loves you so much and thanks for all the entertainment you provide for us/because I do love you so much, I really feel the need to tell you to not sit too close to your new screen because of how big it is. I don’t want you having sight problems in the future. Xx
I started stretching my ears at 14, did my labret on my own as well at 14. , I thought I was too young. Wow. Then first tattoo at 15. 30 years now and don't regret a thing. Love your channel, keep being awesome.
I usually wear patterns and flowy trousers or dresses and went to work one day in tight jeans and a top and felt like I was cos playing as a teacher or a mum. This must have been such a shock for them 🙈😂
It could have been interesting if they'd done a photoshop job on Ethan and whited his eyes tattoos out and reverted his ears to something closer to normal. I was at least expecting some different style clothes too, like a short sleeve button up shirt or something. As for Jody, she looked so uncomfortable, bless her, it really didn't suit her but I don't know how much of that was the choice of dress (I'm sorry but it was a hideous dress). And she coudnhave had girlie clothes and themnlooked at least in line with her black aesthetic...but then I guess the idea was to step all the way out of your comfort zone. I just think if youxre gonna do it try more than one outfit, y'know. The hair was too heavy for her face, didn't suit her at all, it needed something simpler and straight, like a Bob or wolf cut or something. Something funky fresh and modern, instead of dressing her like a 40 year old middle class housewife. I doing these transformations interesting though. My nibbling started getting tattoos a 18 and is 20 now, they have both lower legs done and a few on their arm. I lost count of how many there are altogether, but one leg is for studio gibli characters, not sure the other one random fave anime characters maybe. I suggested they slow now and they said that they have...they're only getting them every couple of months now lol.
The before and after shots, especially the gal at the end remind me how looking at pictures of me before and after transition. I went through a phase in high school where I tried "fixing" myself by trying to be as girly as possible. Spoiler, not only did it not work but I horrible at it. I always looked like a failed drag Queen. 😅 Seeing before and after shots like that really puts things into perspective.
No hate intented here, but I’m kinda against those series (I watched a few) And seeing someone getting stripped out of their personalities, getting their tattoos covered to look like « Oh look they are « normal » now! Don’t they look « lovely »? I’m quite against it... just a personal opinion. I love myself in my tattoos/piercings and won’t cover them even for a small TV show. xxx
I haven't watched the video yet but if you haven't you should react to Freaky Hoody, he's the most tattooed french person and was on shows like sense 8. 💗
I feel like it’s easier if you think of it as putting on a costume because it’s like you are dressing up to fit the character that is an alternate reality version of you, kind of.
truly like where is the FUNDING sir 😂 I wonder did he have any arrangements with artists to model for them or sit in at conventions. I've heard of people getting cheaper or free tattoos a few times, because they basically volunteered as a canvas for an artist or a studio, and came to conventions with them, modelled for the apparel, etc.
I went to school with a girl who had sizable tunnels in fifth grade, half inch by 7th ! My one ear isn’t as flexible so I’ve struggled hard in my journey ;(
I wonder if Jody would have liked the outfit and or the hair if she had different jewelry and not taken off the tattoos? I think it would be cool to add a chunky or spikey necklace or rings.
I know eye tattooing is really dangerous but ive had a catoract since kindergarten and an astigmatism in the other eye so ive got horrible vision. I find it interesting u think about it as risking ur eyesight further (which is absolutely valid) while i think of it as "im probably gonna go blind anyway, fuck it". Just the different thought process is interesting to me. Idk y lol
Agreed the first video was..meh. I think the makeup artist took on to much for 2hr. Would love to see more of this from you though. I'm sure tons of us ( heavily tattooed or not) can imagine ehat the opposite side of the coin version of our personal style would be.
First of all: Daaaaamn Ethan is super hot 🔥 his face is beautiful 😍 Second: my boyfriend and I will be this couple where I am super tattooed and he barely has any 😂 looking into the future here 😂
I agree that words like "normal" or "regular" are not good. I like the word "unremarkable" because it's what happens when you conceal what is unique or special or passionate within or on an individual xxxx
I went to a new school for one year when I moved and I was in 3rd grade. I remember another student in 5th grade there that wore tapers in his ears. They were big too, at the time I remember wondering if it hurt his ears to be weighed down like that. Thinking about it now it's insane that he was 11 with at least 0g tapers. (Also, I don't have stretched ears but I've been told not to wear your tapers. Those are specifically intended for the stretching process. Please wear tunnels or plugs instead!!)
i come from a multicultural household and in a few of them 11 is actually a bit late to start body modification, even ear stretching. :) it's always so interesting to see westerners shocked by young people treating their bodies as canvases. (not you specifically, Treacle.) as long as parents don't force it and the children know that reversing the effects is more difficult than starting them (also as long as the family can afford it/they're responsible enough to maintain the aftercare etc) it's all good
5:46 I think it is a generational thing, because (I’m 21) when I was in elementary school there were two different kids who had gauges by the fourth grade (about 10ish). It definitely wasn’t common, as I live in a really conservative state so most kids aren’t even allowed love piercings until they’re teenagers, but there were kids who had body mods from a young age.
How is that "bimbo" gear? The pink dress someone would wear to church is considered bimbo?? You act like they put her in a latex dress up to her ass. Does bimbo mean something different now? 😂😂
The eye "tattoos" look so cool, but are SO high risk and aren't even technically a tattoo. It's a separate kind of body modification, and it's difficult to get, for a reason. So dangerous.
I hope in the future this technique will be developed enough that it becomes generally safe to get. It looks so cool I would love to get mine done.
its not high risk if they do it properly, it shouldnt even hurt if done properly
@@Diahhdgdgg A lot of things are high risk due to the worst case scenario, not the best.
They are not as dangerous as people think, OK if you go to someone who don't know what they are doing (which happens most of the time something gose wrong) then yeah but if you go to some one who knows what they are doing then there is only a small chance of something going wrong
I finally got my first tattoo, and I felt like this would be a fun place to share it. I have a frog with a butterfly on its head. I got it over some of my old self harm scars and the artist was really sweet and kind to me, and I’m so excited to go again
that is so cute! i’m glad you found a cool artist too. congrats on your first!!
sketch.brooke ? she has some really cute toad flash, seen one with a bfly on its head
Aww I love that! Is it coloured? Just a random question:D
@@bobboby30 yeah, it’s colored. It’s a milk frog as well if that helps at all
My friend has a frog with an upside down flower hat on its head and i am obsessed with it
I love that you said that discrimination against tattooed people is not the same as discrimination against a certain race or something like that. Every kind of discrimination is unnecessary and bad of course, but I totally agree that it’s not comparable.
As someone who likes to flip between Girly and Alternative, its kinda nice to see that you can pull off both and still look good, ya know?
insinuating that alternative and girly have to be opposites might be holding u back. you can be alt and super feminine
I love being able to be both at the same time. I feel like having a lot of tattoos has almost given me permission to dress more "girly" or "basic" and still feel like myself, because I don't necessarily need to use clothing to express my "alternative" side - It's there no matter how I feel like dressing.
It's strange, but when people with eye tattoos and face tattoos cover up the facial ink . . . for some reason they look more sinister. I can't put my finger on why. Great video, Lauren, and I hope your tattoo today went well! 😊
I totally understand what you’re saying!!
It's probably because of the super thick make-up that made them look like wax figures.
Anyone that is masking their faces is a bit sinister!
Because of Supernatural lol.
It's because you're not used to it and it feels unnatural and thus scary for a human brain.

I do recognize that anyone can look a certain way and be bad or good but it’s just a little off putting watching movies with these big scary bikers who hurt people when where I live they’re often the ones protecting people at pride parades or at protests. (I live in America) I also have a few family members who were those big scary biker guys way back when and they’re the nicest ones most of the time. I know this is very off topic but I wanted to mention it since it’s interesting to me, great video so far can’t wait for more! ❤️
I feel like a lot of the people that go on here would like their "Transformations" more if some of their tattoos weren't covered so heavily, where they got to see themselves with their tattoos/ some of their tattoos. Of course you're not going to completely fall in love with a look that your artwork is being completely covered 🤷♀️
Love you girl!💛
I related to you saying that you get told to slow down. I’m 20 and have 3 tattoos (all kinda medium sized but not massive) and I keep getting told to “slow down”. Like… I only have 3 tattoos? How much slower can I get lol
I've gotten almost 20 tattoos in the past 3 years 😅 the only person who's told me to slow down is myself, because it's bad for my bank account sometimes
I scheduled my 3rd (I’m almost 22) and my family keeps telling me to slow down 🤦♀️
That second one, I hate that dress color. I wish these transformation videos theyd stop bringing that pink tone to Everyone. Like you can do the feminine look without pink cause so many light pinks wash people out, especially the paler people that they tend to transform lol
I know this video was out almost an hour ago, but this is the earliest I've been to a video 😂 thank you for the video!
I changed my look one time from emo to girly cuz I didn't know how my husband would take it and I hated it I just wanted my black fluffy hair back and now I know he loves me for me no matter how I look which is amazing so always love yourself who cares what others think your perfect the way you are don't change that
Random but totally relate to the glasses thing 😂 my long distance is getting much worse and I really need to wear my glasses more often but only use them for reading
This is so weird!!!
I have two face tattoos that you can’t even see if my hair is down, and I’m lucky enough to not have anyone say anything about them. However, mainly older people love to just stare at them when I have my hair pulled back to the point where I’m uncomfortable because even when I stare back and make it known that I know they’re staring, they still don’t look away. One lady even continued staring me down while I passing and made a show of stepping even farther away from me. Like ma’am, you made me clutch my purse tighter too and walk faster. Lol
Just my opinion. I have quite a few tattoos, not as many yet as I want.
But, if you do “weird” things for everyone to see, they will stare.
I’m “old” so I get remarks and stares because of my tattoos. The difference is I don’t give a shit who thinks what.
I’m happy in my life and I enjoy my tattoos.
Cruel people will be cruel if you’re tattooed or not. It’s their issues, not yours. ❤️
I love how people always assume every tattoo has a meaning and all that shit, makes me want to get a "it's not that deep bro" tat XD
Personally, I feel like you look so much better with the tattoos. Plus he looks happier with the tattoos.
Please do more of these transformation videos!!! ☺💜
Love your reactions 😂😂 but you should have watched Morgan’s transformation because I would love to hear your thoughts on tattoo regret
Love tattoos didn't get my first one till I was 30. Now 56 still getting them.
How dare you come onto my feed looking as lovely as you do! Hope you’re having a great day! ☺️
Oh youuuuuuu 🥹❤️
this reminded me of that doja cat clip, she says something along the lines of "WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD GO OUTSIDE LOOKIN AS GOOD AS YOU LOOK ALL FRESH AND SEXY AND GOING OUTSIDE" 😂
For the second one I feel like the thoughts are “i’d date that but I wouldn’t want to be that” if it was me in that position
I created T-shirt for ppl who look scary but are t, for this reason 💖 “I’m not an asshole, that’s just my face” or “I’m not an asshole, that’s just my tattoos” 😂
4:45 yeah the youngest I ever saw stretched ears was 13/14 😂 I didn't start stretching mine until 18, most people I know started around 16 though
Ethan is getting his face laser removed. It looks pretty good so far. It’s almost gone. I follow him on Instagram
What’s his insta?
@@allana1997 ethanmodboybramble
@@chericebrown5597 thank you!
“If you want to see more”
Me not having watched a single bit of reaction yet: more!
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your reactions and I agree though, without my tattoos I would not feel right. I got them for a reason. I'd feel strange without them. 😕
Loves you so much and thanks for all the entertainment you provide for us/because I do love you so much, I really feel the need to tell you to not sit too close to your new screen because of how big it is. I don’t want you having sight problems in the future. Xx
omg the first video was filmed on my local strip of shops thats crazy!!!
I started stretching my ears at 14, did my labret on my own as well at 14. , I thought I was too young. Wow. Then first tattoo at 15. 30 years now and don't regret a thing. Love your channel, keep being awesome.
23:46 it absolutely is and I WILL be dramatic about it too
I usually wear patterns and flowy trousers or dresses and went to work one day in tight jeans and a top and felt like I was cos playing as a teacher or a mum.
This must have been such a shock for them 🙈😂
It could have been interesting if they'd done a photoshop job on Ethan and whited his eyes tattoos out and reverted his ears to something closer to normal. I was at least expecting some different style clothes too, like a short sleeve button up shirt or something.
As for Jody, she looked so uncomfortable, bless her, it really didn't suit her but I don't know how much of that was the choice of dress (I'm sorry but it was a hideous dress). And she coudnhave had girlie clothes and themnlooked at least in line with her black aesthetic...but then I guess the idea was to step all the way out of your comfort zone. I just think if youxre gonna do it try more than one outfit, y'know.
The hair was too heavy for her face, didn't suit her at all, it needed something simpler and straight, like a Bob or wolf cut or something. Something funky fresh and modern, instead of dressing her like a 40 year old middle class housewife. I doing these transformations interesting though.
My nibbling started getting tattoos a 18 and is 20 now, they have both lower legs done and a few on their arm. I lost count of how many there are altogether, but one leg is for studio gibli characters, not sure the other one random fave anime characters maybe. I suggested they slow now and they said that they have...they're only getting them every couple of months now lol.
I believe ethan is getting a bunch of his tattoos lasered off now
The before and after shots, especially the gal at the end remind me how looking at pictures of me before and after transition. I went through a phase in high school where I tried "fixing" myself by trying to be as girly as possible. Spoiler, not only did it not work but I horrible at it. I always looked like a failed drag Queen. 😅 Seeing before and after shots like that really puts things into perspective.
Haha I had that stage for a week in middle school too 😂
I was LITERALLY just scrolling tattoos on Reddit and got the notif for this video 🦇🕷
No hate intented here, but I’m kinda against those series (I watched a few) And seeing someone getting stripped out of their personalities, getting their tattoos covered to look like « Oh look they are « normal » now! Don’t they look « lovely »? I’m quite against it... just a personal opinion. I love myself in my tattoos/piercings and won’t cover them even for a small TV show. xxx
I haven't watched the video yet but if you haven't you should react to Freaky Hoody, he's the most tattooed french person and was on shows like sense 8. 💗
I feel like it’s easier if you think of it as putting on a costume because it’s like you are dressing up to fit the character that is an alternate reality version of you, kind of.
Honestly, if Ethan is able to afford all of that by the time he's 24... I want his job.
truly like where is the FUNDING sir 😂 I wonder did he have any arrangements with artists to model for them or sit in at conventions. I've heard of people getting cheaper or free tattoos a few times, because they basically volunteered as a canvas for an artist or a studio, and came to conventions with them, modelled for the apparel, etc.
I think Ethan is gorgeous with or without tattoos!!
I teach middle school, and there’s a student in 6th grade with her septum pierced.
I went to school with a girl who had sizable tunnels in fifth grade, half inch by 7th ! My one ear isn’t as flexible so I’ve struggled hard in my journey ;(
I think he looks better with his tattoos
I wonder if Jody would have liked the outfit and or the hair if she had different jewelry and not taken off the tattoos? I think it would be cool to add a chunky or spikey necklace or rings.
I know eye tattooing is really dangerous but ive had a catoract since kindergarten and an astigmatism in the other eye so ive got horrible vision. I find it interesting u think about it as risking ur eyesight further (which is absolutely valid) while i think of it as "im probably gonna go blind anyway, fuck it". Just the different thought process is interesting to me. Idk y lol
I would 100% state at Ethan in public but only because he’s hella fine 🔥
Agreed the first video was..meh. I think the makeup artist took on to much for 2hr.
Would love to see more of this from you though. I'm sure tons of us ( heavily tattooed or not) can imagine ehat the opposite side of the coin version of our personal style would be.
Random question about tattoos and pimples. How would you treat a pimple on a tattooed area. Could you use the same acids and retinoid?
That first guy changed into a somewhat annoyed James Charles.
I would never get an face tattoo
I saw the first video before and have seen others like this. I just keep thinking 'that's so much make up'.
I love your hair 😍
I think Emily Boo did one of these transformations!!
I'd love to see him with some contacts to cover the eye tattoo as well
First of all: Daaaaamn Ethan is super hot 🔥 his face is beautiful 😍
Second: my boyfriend and I will be this couple where I am super tattooed and he barely has any 😂 looking into the future here 😂
How does a 24 year old afford all these tattoos? these are the questions that must be asked.
Your shirt 😍
I was 10 when I got my ears pierce for the second time, not streched, not a dramatic change but yeah
I remember in my fifth grade class, a girl had five piercings in one ear and seven in the other. 🤷🏾♀️
I agree that words like "normal" or "regular" are not good. I like the word "unremarkable" because it's what happens when you conceal what is unique or special or passionate within or on an individual xxxx
what is his job that he can afford all these bodmods at 24????
This show is just snog marry avoid but without the strangers judging you.
just got finished with my spider man tattoo, my arm is so swollen haha worth it tho its based off NWH
Oooooof love that post tattoo swell…not 😂 happy healing my love 💖
@@treacletatts it’s the best part 😂😂 thank you so much !!
Im nearly at the itchy stage of my tattoo... nooo lol ethan is getting his face tatts lasered im pretty sure
Lowkey the first dude was hotter with all his tattoos 😂
I went to a new school for one year when I moved and I was in 3rd grade. I remember another student in 5th grade there that wore tapers in his ears. They were big too, at the time I remember wondering if it hurt his ears to be weighed down like that. Thinking about it now it's insane that he was 11 with at least 0g tapers. (Also, I don't have stretched ears but I've been told not to wear your tapers. Those are specifically intended for the stretching process. Please wear tunnels or plugs instead!!)
i come from a multicultural household and in a few of them 11 is actually a bit late to start body modification, even ear stretching. :) it's always so interesting to see westerners shocked by young people treating their bodies as canvases. (not you specifically, Treacle.) as long as parents don't force it and the children know that reversing the effects is more difficult than starting them (also as long as the family can afford it/they're responsible enough to maintain the aftercare etc) it's all good
I just dont understand how you afford that many tattoos/body mods by 24. I could barely afford food at that age lol.
Jesus that guy stretched his ears the same age as my son😯😯
What are your thoughts on Amber Luke?
instead of saying "normal" you can always say they use default settings
Haha, I like that.
5:46 I think it is a generational thing, because (I’m 21) when I was in elementary school there were two different kids who had gauges by the fourth grade (about 10ish). It definitely wasn’t common, as I live in a really conservative state so most kids aren’t even allowed love piercings until they’re teenagers, but there were kids who had body mods from a young age.
Seeing a masc woman be put in bimbo gear makes ME feel violated. A crime. An atrocity. Make it stop
How is that "bimbo" gear? The pink dress someone would wear to church is considered bimbo?? You act like they put her in a latex dress up to her ass. Does bimbo mean something different now? 😂😂
