This is work from the Brutal Black project, a piece of tattoo performance art / performative masochism. They produced some really fascinating art of very slightly dubious morality.
Other examples:
I had no idea my absent-minded scribbles in school books were actually fascinating art.
Suck it Mr White.

It's... I guess some people are into that
What a wild watch. I cannot comprehend extreme body modification but I find it fascinating. As for the brutal black project inflicting pain as a rite of passage? That's pretty standard human behavior, just turned up a good bit. Honestly getting brutal tattoos like that for free is a good deal if you're into it and can handle it. Again, don't understand insane coverage like that, but damn if it doesn't look good.
Another thing though, I cannot imagine the healing process for that shit. Friend got a decently sized forearm tat recently and was pretty fucking uncomfortable for a while. Getting absolutely blasted by needles on a huge swath of your body? I feel like getting the tattoo wouldn't even be the worst part.
The worst part is the fucking wiping imo.
The needle hurts but wiping away the excess ink and goo feels like sandpaper on already sensitive skin after a while.
It’s the wooooorst
Whatcha mean?
There's a subset of people who, whenever any extreme experience is brought to the cultural stage, insists that it must be the work of sadistic sociopaths and on that baseless grounds is clearly morally reprehensible. My own opinion is that, much like with the mob hatred for Russ McKamey, everyone involved is weird as fuck but they're also consenting adults and we should really just let people do their thing.
Naw. Fuck him. Dude has several allegations of ignoring safewords, and that's only after they even implemented safewords. Consent is where I draw a very important line.
I suppose I should have known better than to leave it at that.
Look I'm too tired to get into this properly tonight, but you're repeating the line that they didn't have safewords and that hints that you've only ever gotten your information secondhand about this. I really encourage you to actually look into it, Russ is a sadistic SOB but he doesn't deserve the vitriol that's directed towards him.
