00:00 Machine Gun Kelly is debuting a daring new look.

00:05 The rapper, whose real name is Colson Baker, debuts an extreme new look after covering

00:11 up most of the tattoos on his chest and arms with pure black ink.

00:16 In a photo he shares to Instagram on February 20th, MGK poses shirtless in black pants to

00:23 show off the transformation, which features his usually colorful sleeve and chest tattoos

00:30 filled in with black ink apart from a few stripes.

00:34 MGK captions the snapshot, "For spiritual purposes only."

00:40 However, Machine Gun Kelly's torso still bears his original tattoos, including one

00:47 that says "Locals Only" and another depicting a man with a sign that reads "I want change."

00:54 MGK's tattoo artist, Rox, also takes to social media to share another picture of the

01:01 musician's new ink.

01:03 The artist captions the pic, "Made some art with Machine Gun Kelly.

01:08 Never met a tougher one."

01:10 MGK replies in the comments section, saying, "Thanks for the joy and the pain."

01:17 In his Instagram stories, he also notes that the new ink required 44 needles.

01:24 The rapper takes to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share this video of a tattoo machine with

01:30 the caption, "Been wearing a turtleneck for 3 months.

01:35 Taking the shirt off tomorrow.

01:37 IDGAF."

01:38 Additionally, MGK has wiped his Instagram page other than the one blackout tattoo image

01:46 and tells his fans to tune into his YouTube page for the premiere of his "Don't Let

01:51 Me Go" official music video on February 21.

01:57 On January 9, MGK shares this message to X, expressing frustration over the interpretations

02:04 of his art.

02:05 He writes, "I'll never explain my art, because true art is conversational and always

02:12 up for interpretation.

02:14 But I will say, most of you constantly interpret it wrong, and then blame me for your version

02:20 of what you think my art is.

02:23 Ultimately, I'm sad at how people perceive me in general.

02:27 Peace."

02:29 As for what this new era for MGK could be, fans will just have to tune in and find out.
