“For spiritual purposes only,” the 33-year-old commented on his post. The XXL tattoo leaves the shape of a cross on his chest. He simply had previous tattoos done over by the tattoo artist Roxx.
The tattoo artist also presented her work on Instagram. “Never had a tougher customer,” she captioned it. “Thank you for the joy and the pain,” Machine Gun Kelly commented. He had previously sought “spiritual advice,” as the artist told the newspaper TMZ has reported. His many colorful tattoos were too chaotic for him, as was the case Bild reported.

According to Blackwork tattoo artist Roxx, the project with the singer started in December. Even after 13 sessions, each lasting six hours, the tattoo was still not finished.
It’s not just Machine Gun Kelly who relies on tattoos: his fiancée, actress Megan Fox, recently posted a photo of herself with flower tattoos on her arm. She and her fiancé got a partner tattoo: voodoo dolls on their ring fingers.
