00:00I'm 97% covered in tattoos and my dad absolutely hates it.
00:03I want the artistic look, I want people to look at me and be like, wow, he's beautiful
00:07in the sense of art.
00:08My dad actually didn't speak to me for about three weeks.
00:11The face, I just look at him and go, why?
00:14I'm not harming anyone, I just get tattooed.
00:17My dad despises my tattoos, so today we are covering them all up.
00:22My tattoos are a big part of my identity, huge to be honest, so I don't know how I'm
00:27going to feel when they're gone.
00:28Oh my god!
00:31You look like a rubber stopper.
00:36Yeah.
00:37Who does he look like?
00:39The Grinch?
00:40The Grinch.
00:41Hello, hello, welcome.
00:43Lovely to meet you.
00:44My name's Rachel.
00:45Brandon, lovely to meet you.
00:46Nice to meet you.
00:47Come on inside.
00:49So excited.
00:50Good, good, good.
00:51My name's Dadlay, I'm 27 years of age, I'm a dad, covering tattoos.
00:55I would describe my look as very dark, now prominent, gothic.
01:00I say aesthetically pleasing.
01:02I spent over 100k on tattoos and I will not stop.
01:08Let's get to 200.
01:10My son Tommy absolutely adores my tattoos, man.
01:13He tells me I'm going to get a spider on my chest, Dad.
01:15I'm going to get this on my face, Dad.
01:17Me and my Dad fight all the time.
01:20I absolutely love him.
01:21It's not going to stop me from getting any tattoo.
01:23When he first started, it was okay.
01:25It was different, but now the face, I just look at him and go, why?
01:33Why?
01:34But it's done.
01:35My latest tattoo is my back tattoo.
01:38He hasn't seen any of that.
01:39Okay, so we've got more, have we?
01:40We've got more on this spotty where we're going to fit them all in.
01:43You guys want to see?
01:44Yeah, why not? Show us what else you've got.
01:47So, what do you think?
01:49Okay.
01:51Just do your ears and you're done.
01:53Any other bonus ones, Brent?
01:55No, there's not. Please, there's not. That's it.
01:58There's more?
01:59Other than my face and back, dude, that's about it for now.
02:02For now.
02:03For now, yeah.
02:04Sorry, Dad. I always get tattoos.
02:07Today, I'll be covering Brendan's tattoos.
02:10So, we'll be using waterproof foundation.
02:13You can wear the makeup for a week and it won't come off.
02:16Brendan, did you want to come?
02:18Let's get started.
02:19So, the coral's going to be the layer for the tattoo.
02:22And then we do an extra layer.
02:24And then we'll go in with a light skin colour.
02:31So, where'd you get your tattoos from?
02:32Ah, my first tattoo I ever got was in Ryde.
02:35That was a mistake because that's all covered now.
02:38My first tattoo, I was 17 years old.
02:40It was pursuit of happiness around my ankle.
02:43Mum actually took me.
02:44It was supposed to be an early 18th birthday present.
02:47Dad had no idea.
02:49So, we actually kept that one a secret, me and Mum.
02:51Yeah, Mum fed me a little bit,
02:53which sent me down this rabbit hole of awesome tattoos.
02:57So, what did your dad first say to you when you came home with your head tattoos?
03:02Oh, head tattoos.
03:03I wasn't actually living at home when I got my head tattooed.
03:05But, it's all been a rough ride, I'll tell you that much.
03:10Dad kicked me up the first time.
03:12Tried to mend things with him the whole time.
03:16And then promised him I'd never get another one.
03:19I did.
03:20My parents kind of came to terms with things when they kind of realised that I wasn't going to stop.
03:25It's already like, you can't see a hundred percent, but jeez, I've already got that.
03:30My little brother Preston, I kind of sent him in a direction of getting tattoos as well.
03:35He's covered.
03:36Now I want us to go get his neck done, face done.
03:38Mum and Dad blame me for it all the time.
03:40I might have to hire you every two weeks, so I can get him to clubs and what not.
03:44Oh, they don't let you into clubs?
03:46Nah, nah, nowhere.
03:47Nowhere?
03:48Yeah, nah, here in Australia, I'm not allowed in anywhere.
03:51Even pubs.
03:52When I first started getting tattooed, everyone was like, dude, you're going to wreck every
03:56job opportunity you have, you know, you're never going to get this job, that job.
03:59We're going to build up the skin colour, so he won't be orange for long.
04:03I get judged daily, and you do notice that I'll watch people cross the road or walk the
04:08complete opposite direction.
04:09And you have all the old people who, at the start, think you're a delinquent.
04:13I could not care about anyone's opinion on me whatsoever.
04:17Can I turn it back now, mate?
04:19I know.
04:20I know, right?
04:21At least it's temporary.
04:22This is waterproof.
04:23Are you going to hate me?
04:24Because it's not going to come off?
04:26I do look like an oop-oop-oop.
04:29So we're now doing the final touch of inside his eyes.
04:34Well, my son won't recognise me at all.
04:38Definitely be shocked.
04:39Hey, tell me.
04:40Tell me.
04:41Do you love your daddy's tattoos?
04:44Yeah.
04:45Tell me about that.
04:46Which one's your favourite?
04:48It's my one.
04:49We're just about done.
04:51We'll go inside and we'll reveal you to your family.
04:54Are you ready?
04:55A bit nervous, but, yeah.
04:57Well, this is me with nose-how-do's.
05:02Oh my god.
05:07Yeah.
05:08You look like a bumper stumper.
05:09Oh my god.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Mmm.
05:12Big difference, isn't it?
05:13Your legs.
05:14Tony, what do you think?
05:15Your legs.
05:16I don't like it.
05:18Dude, how freaky is it?
05:20I don't like it.
05:21Who does he look like?
05:23The Grinch.
05:24Grinch.
05:25Grinch.
05:26What do you think, bro?
05:27What do you think, bro?
05:28Yeah, he's like me with the tattoos, don't you?
05:33Bro, I started realise how skinny you look.
05:34I don't mind your arms without me.
05:36I like my legs.
05:37I don't like your legs without them.
05:39I have my son back with no tattoos.
05:42You don't like it.
05:43Wow.
05:44Good.
05:45That's what I said.
05:46I said, good.
05:47I'm glad you don't like it.
05:48What about the face, Tony?
05:49What about the face?
05:50No.
05:51Do you want to go take a look, Tony?
05:52Come here.
05:53Are you ready for the big reveal?
05:56Honestly, no.
05:57But go.
05:58Alright.
05:59One.
06:00Two.
06:01Three.
06:02Oh my God.
06:03I don't like it.
06:04You don't like it?
06:05No.
06:06No.
06:07Give me all my tattoos back.
06:08Give me all my tattoos back.
06:09Not at all?
06:10No.
06:11No.
06:12Not my face the slightest.
06:14Oh, we can even see wrinkles.
06:15I know.
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:22I just like my lower half.
06:27My upper.
06:28My...
06:29Give me all my tattoos back.
06:30I do not like it.
06:31Face?
06:32Yeah.
06:33Face and all.
06:34Oh.
06:35You feel bare?
06:36Yeah.
06:37Too bare.
06:38I think from far it's good, but up close.
06:41Nah, it's just...
06:42You look different because you look bald.
06:44I love the face.
06:45I love the clear face.
06:46You just look good.
06:47But I...
06:48I think the neck and the arms...
06:49I don't mind.
06:50Don't get me wrong.
06:51It was myself before, but I'm definitely not used to it.
06:54It's a real shock.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Actually, you know what I do like?
06:57The only one thing...
06:58I really like my jaw.
07:03I wish I had it back.
07:04Just a little bit.
07:05Bottom half?
07:06I actually don't mind it.
07:07Top half?
07:08Nah, it's not a look for me.
07:09If I woke up like this tomorrow, I would book a tattoo straight away and go get my whole
07:12face blasted again.
07:13Sorry mum and sorry dad, but nah, I don't like this look whatsoever.
07:17Now that he looks bald and looks different, but his actual arms and legs...
07:21It's perfect.
07:22That's what it should be like.
07:24His face.
07:25You can see his face again.
07:26I think dad did come to terms with it more, which is good.
07:28Great seeing his reaction.
07:29I'm glad I did this because it's going to make me appreciate my tattoos a lot more.
07:33My tattoos actually have to do a lot with who I have become as a person in the last 10
07:38years.
07:39Seeing myself with no tattoos, it does make me feel naked.
07:42I feel not myself.
07:44Tommy's only ever really seen me with tattoos, so I knew his reaction would be a bit full
07:49on.
07:50I'm actually glad he had that reaction because now I know he loves me for who I am.
08:03What's going on?
08:04I was going to do.
08:05I know that he was good at the time, but I haven't done anything.
08:06I don't have to follow him.
08:07I'm going to do anything wrong.
08:08There's a reason.
08:09I don't know.
08:10I think he just gave me some stuff, which is good.
08:11But he's good at the time.
08:12I think he's good at the time.
08:13I'm going to do something.
08:14You are uh...
08:15I think he's sure.
08:16I'm going to do something.
08:18I think he wants to do anything.
08:19I think he's going to do something else.
08:20After that, he's going.
08:21He's going to be a super PACA.
08:22He's going to have my posture.
08:23I think the way you can do it.
08:24He's looking at him.
08:25He's going to be a bitiest.
