'World's most tattooed dad' shows what he'd look like without £264k inkings

A man with a darn good claim of being the 'world's most tattooed dad' has shown what he'd look like if he didn't have all of the tattoos on his body.

Remy Schofield has spent thousands of hours under the artist's needle and most of his body has been inked with artwork, with him spending more than £264,000 on his habit.

His skin covered in a myriad of designs with his torso and arms appearing to be entirely enveloped by the designs he's had etched onto his body.

Since he's been getting tattoos for 20 years trying to show what he looked like before all of this would be a bit of a lost cause, since however he looked in those old pictures he'd have changed a lot anyway since then.

Remy did want to satisfy the curiosity of his followers, however, as he shared an AI recreation of what he might look like if he'd never gone in for tattoos, though he graciously admitted that the misguided technology stuck on a six-pack he doesn't actually possess.

The difference is certainly dramatic, and while the AI has given him abs he's not got the bloke seems to be in good shape generally.

He did also share a picture of what he looked like back in 2003, and he really does look very, very different from then to now. as he sported black and green spiky hair with the centre bit shaved down, along with copious amounts of eyeshadow.

It looks like back before he was really into tattoos he was big into piercings as body decoration, and Remy joked that his look was 'not a phase' as he'd proved by getting tattoos in the years between the two pictures.

As for where he's has the most pain while getting his tattoos, Remy says that for him it's been 'inside the crotch, inside the buttcheeks, stuff that most people are never going to experience'.

That's certainly a different answer to the one most tattoo afficionados go for, and Remy acknowledged that a majority of folks would reckon it was something like the armpit, nipples or belly button.

He says those areas are 'not even in my top 10' and says it actually feels 'f**king easy' to get his armpits done.

"Getting anything done in your deep crotch, that f**king sucks every time," he said as he imparted his words of wisdom about the most painful areas to be inked.

In one of his videos he said 'I'll stop getting tattooed when I stop enjoying being tattooed', and given that he doesn't seem to have hit that point yet a future of inky possibilities remains ahead of him.

There are some parts of his body he won't get fully covered, however, as while he has ink on his palms there are bits of his hands with calluses which are difficult to get a pattern onto so he's going to leave them be.

He doesn't plan on getting his face fully tattooed and he also has 'zero interest in eye tattoos', which given how it's gone wrong for others in the past is probably a wise decision.
