I've spent £215k tattooing my entire body - one area was most painful by far

It's fairly typical for individuals to sport numerous tattoos across their body. But for the globe's most inked father, it's not merely a single design but countless artworks layering his skin.

Remy has been making waves for years, particularly recently, having invested over £215,000 ($394,000 CAD) in his extraordinary body art. The ex-chef's transformation started back in 2001 with his initial facial piercing, followed shortly by a tattoo bearing his son's name in bespoke lettering.

Now there's no stopping him as he visits the tattoo parlour several times weekly. Remy's story comes after Prince Harry announced his friends stopped him from getting a tattoo.

He frequently documents his transformation on Instagram (@ephemeral__remy), where he commands 164,000 followers, and recently addressed the brutal reactions from trolls who criticise his looks.

However, the tattoo enthusiast regularly receives tremendous support from admirers who find his body art journey inspiring. In the comments of a recent upload, one follower gushed: "There's no such thing as perfect in this world but you are a perfect, example of a tattoo God Remy.", reports the Mirror.

Most painful place

The father-of-one discussed his transformation and disclosed which part of his body causes the most agony during tattooing.

He revealed: "Most painful places for me have been in the inner crotch/inside the bum checks.

"Most of me is between 10-30+ layers, and I am 100% positive there is no human who has ever lived that's had more layers, hours, and sessions than I have."

No slowing down

Remy is relentless in his pursuit of body art, continuing to get tattooed multiple times each week without showing any signs of slowing down.

While many ink enthusiasts might balk at the idea of tattooing their private areas, Remy doesn't shy away from it.

He shared: "My genitals are tattooed multiple times, and my armpits have been tattooed 16 and 17 times, for a combined total of 33 armpit tattoo sessions over the years.

"I don't find armpit painful, and have always considered them overrated in terms of pain compared to what most people would have you believe."

The Canadian, who once worked as a chef, has dedicated decades to his extraordinary transformation.

He regularly posts updates on his tattoos across social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. On his profiles, he dubs himself the "real world's most tattooed man".

Despite occasionally encountering trolls on social media, Remy typically pays no heed to the negativity.
