00:00 Today I'm having my tattoos all covered up and see my face for the first time in over 20 years
00:04 This is going to be so strange
00:07 Left tattooed 98% of my body after my first tattoo. I knew I was going to be full covered
00:14 I don't know how much money I spent on tattoos probably around 30k. I've never seen Daniel without his tattoos
00:21 Are you ready? Oh my god
00:24 I'm scared
00:29 Daniel left and now this guy is here
00:31 Hello
00:35 I'm Lina, nice to meet you
00:37 How are you?
00:39 Very well
00:41 Are you excited?
00:43 My name is Daniel and I've tattooed 98% of my body
00:45 I've been getting tattoos for 20 years
00:47 I love the look of tattoos
00:49 I love how I look with them
00:51 Every single tattoo has a meaning
00:53 It's just how I live
00:55 I'm a vegan, I'm straight edge
00:57 I grew up with punk and hardcore music
00:59 So this is just me
01:01 Today I will cover all Daniel's tattoos to his natural skin
01:06 The first step I will prepare the skin
01:10 The second step I will use color correction from Kryolan to neutralize tattoo pigment
01:18 And after I will use some foundation
01:21 I'm ready
01:23 Please come to me Daniel
01:25 We can begin
01:27 Oh yes
01:29 I am a little bit nervous
01:39 To be honest it doesn't feel so right
01:41 I did those tattoos because of my whole life
01:43 I did them because I live this
01:45 My favorite tattoo is probably my first dog, Kane
01:50 He died when he was 5 years old
01:52 He was the best
01:54 I have this portrait of him to remember him
01:56 When I did my first face tat
01:58 My mom cried a little bit
02:00 But she knew I will always be her boy
02:02 I actually started to get face tattoos when I was 22 years old
02:06 And I knew from the start that I will always be an outcast of society
02:10 And I felt like that without tattoos
02:12 I just thought to myself this is the way I feel
02:15 And I just started getting face tats
02:17 It's just a feeling inside I always had
02:20 I finished my face with like 25, 26 something like that
02:25 So really early actually
02:27 But I'm still proud
02:28 Why do you want to do this transformation?
02:31 Oh that's a good question
02:33 I just wanted to see myself without any tattoos
02:36 And like a regular normal guy
02:39 Because I love my look so much
02:41 That sometimes I forget that I was not born that way
02:45 Most people think I'm a bad person
02:48 Because when they see the look
02:50 They think like I'm a drug dealer
02:52 I do bad stuff
02:54 But actually I think I have a good heart
02:57 I try to help everyone that I love
02:59 And I try to give my best every day
03:01 I'm a positive guy every day
03:04 Just don't judge a book by its cover
03:06 I'm a musician
03:08 I'm a tattoo shop owner
03:09 I'm successful
03:10 I'm a hard working guy
03:12 I don't do drugs
03:13 I live straight edge
03:14 I'm a vegan
03:15 If you think they are not successful in life
03:17 Because of the look
03:19 Then you're wrong
03:20 Completely wrong
03:21 Of course it makes me angry
03:22 Because they don't know me
03:24 What are you using to cover my tattoos up?
03:27 Before I used color correction
03:29 To neutralize your tattoo color
03:33 Now I use camouflage makeup
03:37 Who will you show this no tattoo look?
03:41 I'm so excited to see my friends' reaction
03:46 I hope that she still likes me
03:49 Without tattoos
03:51 Hello
03:53 Hi
03:54 How are you?
03:55 I'm fine
03:56 I got a surprise for you
03:57 What kind of surprise?
03:59 I'm scared
04:00 So I asked you to come here
04:01 A makeup artist will come
04:03 And do a whole makeover
04:05 Seriously?
04:06 Completely makeover
04:08 Oh damn
04:09 Cover all my tattoos
04:10 She's gonna use a lot of makeup
04:11 I'm excited to see how you're gonna look like
04:15 Like a different person
04:16 Yes
04:17 Completely different
04:18 I think so
04:19 I'm gonna see your face for the first time
04:21 Am I allowed to be there while she's doing the makeup?
04:23 No, you're not allowed to be there
04:25 So you see me like this
04:27 And then in three hours
04:29 You see me completely transformed
04:31 I can't laugh
04:32 Oh man
04:34 So Daniel
04:37 We are finished
04:39 Nice
04:40 Finally
04:42 Are you ready?
04:44 I am ready
04:45 But I don't feel so comfortable
04:49 To be honest
04:50 Three, two, one
04:52 Oh my god
04:54 What?
04:56 Holy
05:00 What?
05:03 That's me?
05:04 I look much older
05:08 That's not me
05:09 Oh my god
05:10 That's so crazy
05:12 Man
05:14 I don't know
05:15 I don't know
05:16 It's just weird
05:17 It's weird to see
05:20 Do you recognize yourself?
05:22 I don't recognize myself
05:24 What the f*ck is that?
05:26 That's not me
05:27 Who is that guy?
05:31 I do not like it
05:33 Because I'm used to my tattoos
05:35 So I really don't like it
05:37 What do you think your friend will think?
05:40 I think she will be shocked
05:43 Totally shocked
05:44 And I think she will just send me into the shower
05:48 Are you nervous about seeing him without the tattoos?
05:51 I wouldn't say I'm nervous to see him
05:54 I'm more excited
05:56 And curious about what he looks like
06:00 I've never seen Daniel without his tattoos
06:03 I actually met him when he was already completely full
06:06 So I think it's gonna be really weird seeing him without them
06:10 I'm scared
06:12 Ta-da
06:16 Why do you look Italian?
06:22 Hey, do you like it?
06:26 Do you like me like this?
06:28 You look like Vin Diesel
06:32 Dita Gunn, turn around
06:36 What the hell?
06:39 So clean, so fresh
06:41 I don't know what to say
06:50 It feels like Daniel left
06:54 And now this guy is here
06:56 Maybe this guy is more nice
07:00 Only the teeth
07:03 Tell me that it's you and the voice
07:07 It's weird, right?
07:09 It feels like I'm meeting a stranger
07:12 Ah, your legs!
07:15 It's so weird, right?
07:18 What the hell?
07:19 Now I see that you really look like your family
07:22 The resemblance of your mom and dad
07:26 Do you prefer him with or without the tattoos?
07:31 I prefer him with the tattoos because that's Daniel
07:36 I have to get used to it for a little bit
07:38 And then maybe... I'm shocked
07:40 I'm really shocked
07:42 Show me your hands
07:48 They look like kids fingers
07:51 You look like a gremlin
07:53 Okay, now we have to stop here
07:57 Stop here?
