Dad who has 96% of his body covered in ink shows off his latest extreme inks – on his eyelids

A Canadian man who has 96 percent of his body covered in tattoos has unveiled his latest project: a black bat on each eyelid.

Remy, passing by @ephermeral_remy shares his journey to body change on Instagram with his 216,000 people on the platform.

While most of his body was covered in ink, the mirror reports that he has spent more than £75,000 on his transformation over the years, with his current look taking more than 1,300 hours to complete.

In a recent post, the father-of-one showed off his latest creations, and also shared a video of himself getting the bat tattoos.

He said “it’s not bad,” as the artist brought the needle to his eyelids, seemingly unfazed by the procedure.

He captioned the post: “New eyelid bats from my good friend @tattoosbylee. Good times and better memories, what a nice experience.

‘Everything in me was trying not to open my eyes to this, and although it wasn’t a very painful session, it had its own unique intensity.

“One of the reasons I never tell people ‘what the most painful area is’ is because it varies so much from person to person and you have to feel something first to appreciate it.”

As a tattoo artist and manager at Rocky Mountain Tattoo, Remy has extensive experience both sourcing his own ink and tattooing others.

Fans flocked to the comments to compliment Remy’s new additions, with one writing: ‘Looks epic,’ and another adding: ‘Omfg I love these!!! They look like eyeliner when the eye is open. I can see a bunch of goth girls copying this.”

Meanwhile, another added: “I can’t wait to see what you come up with next, this was crazy cool, I love it.”

Another commenter interjected, saying, “When facial tattoos are this well planned and clean, they look good. I love the bats.”

Others worried about the pain and asked, ‘Can you compare this pain to other places around your head and face? Eyelids are something I’m very interested in, but artists keep talking me out of it.’

With most of his body covered in ink, the Mirror reported that he spent more than £75,000 on his transformation over the years and that his look took more than 1,300 hours to complete.

Remy replied: ‘It’s not painful, just strange, your eye wants to open and twitches involuntarily.

‘I can honestly say that there is much worse in terms of pain, but it is very unique. I liked it.’

Someone else joked: ‘When you think he’s done getting tattoos and then BOOM another one these are sick.’

It comes just after a woman who had her boyfriend’s name tattooed on her forehead admitted the bold choice isn’t realistic – claiming she was trying to teach people a lesson with her prank.

Polish-born Ana Stanskovsky, who currently lives in Bali, shocked her 587,000 TikTok followers last week when she unveiled her bold new ink, dedicated to her fellow influencer friend, Kevin Freshwater.

However, nothing was as it seemed and as some viewers suspected, the unfortunate inking turned out to be fake.

She told viewers: “I want everyone to know that I regret my tattoos and you might regret yours when you get older.

“As a person who is completely covered in tattoos, I feel like this is my responsibility to speak up and share my experiences.”

The move caused backlash within the tattoo community, with one viewer writing: ‘Do your tattoos have meaning? Because mine do that too. No regrets here,” adding, “Not all people will regret their tattoos, to each their own.”
