OMG!!!<\/p>\n

MGK<\/strong> is opening up about the shocking physical toll behind one of the most dramatic transformations of his career \u2014 and the details are seriously intense!<\/p>\n

The artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong> has never been afraid to reinvent himself, whether through music, fashion, or his ever-evolving image. But according to a new interview, his decision to cover huge portions of his body with a massive blackout tattoo pushed him far beyond his limits \u2014 and left him dealing with some scary health issues along the way! Oh, no!!<\/p>\n

Explaining the motivation behind the dramatic body art while speaking to Billboard Canada<\/em> this week for a new cover story, the rocker started by sharing:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same way I was reinventing my sound, I wanted to reinvent my body.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tattoo, designed by celebrity artist ROXX<\/strong>, stretches across much of his chest, stomach, and arms in what MGK describes as a striking \u201cdark mode\u201d look. But while the project was initially expected to take years to finish, the musician had a very different timeline in mind. In fact, he was determined to complete the entire thing in just two months<\/em>!!<\/p>\n

MGK admitted even his tattoo artist had concerns about whether such an ambitious schedule was realistic:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cShe warned me that it was going to be near impossible, even from a pain tolerance standpoint. I said, \u2018Yeah, we got two months.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Near impossible\u2019, you say?! Turns out that was an understatement!<\/p>\n

Rather than spacing out app<\/a>ointments and allowing his body time to recover, MGK reportedly underwent tattoo sessions day after day at ROXX\u2019s El Lay studio. The relentless pace eventually caught up with him in a major way, tho \u2014 and the side effects sound absolutely terrifying!<\/p>\n

According to the performer:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAfter the first week, we hit my lymph nodes around my armpits and shoulders, and I got really sick. My skin was turning yellow. I wasn\u2019t able to sleep. I stopped being able to move certain parts of my upper body.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whoa!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yellow skin? Trouble sleeping? Limited movement?! That is not<\/em> your average tattoo experience!<\/p>\n

Still, despite the frightening symptoms, MGK chose to keep going. Rather than seeing the ordeal as a reason to stop, he viewed it as a challenge to conquer, and after making it through the painful journey, he says the experience left a lasting impact on him:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI came out the other side extremely inspired. Not just because of what I had done, but because of what I had to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, that\u2019s one way to look at it\u2026<\/p>\n

Reactions, Perezcious readers??? Share \u2019em (below)!<\/p>\n
