Reyes and Resilient. This is the second episode of this podcast where we're gonna be reacting to Tattoo nightmares of the week. We're gonna be having a guest joining us today as well and The last part of this podcast. We're gonna be answering emails. How'd you feel about last week's first episode? I thought it was a lot of fun It was very different, but I thought I thought it was gonna be a lot harder Than what it was. We also uploaded the a little short clip on tiktok and the response on it was Different, you know super different A lot of different opinions yes if you guys missed last week's podcast the video that that we reacted to was about a girl who got a tattoo done on her stomach and She has social anxiety So she couldn't speak up and tell the artist that she wasn't liking it So she ended up getting a tattoo that she now regrets and I have really bad allergies. Um, so excuse us There's gonna be a couple. Did you take your pill this morning? I did you did. Mm-hmm. Well, no, I just took it right now Oh, then that's why so let's wait till it kicks in I was like that I'm gonna have to dust this room Yeah, you are oh Okay, this is the first few comments or the top comments first one says I Currently have two tattoos that I absolutely hate because my anxiety wouldn't let me speak up now. I have to get them covered up That one relatable relatable. Yeah When are people? Why are people calling? Why are people called this I'm gonna skip this one. It's all over the place It just doesn't make sense the way he wrote it I'm just gonna skip it if you don't like it say no You can't come back another time. I Can't read today If you don't like it say no when you can come back another time think before you eat Oh That sounds like a title Is that freedom bargain? No, she's eating her boner. It's I think it's another a ghost And then another one says I have social anxiety, but I'd still speak up. This isn't a haircut tattoos are permanent true One put while book is in so we don't have to go through this I Was really quick when I first seen the video was really quick to be like damn, you know, like it's her fault You know, it's really it's really her fault. Like she should have just said something But I think it's really quick to say that Especially if it's not something that you struggle with but I Kind of like remembered that I like went through something similar and I was like, oh well damn Just like hit me in the face, you know, maybe you should take someone who? You know doesn't have that issue so they can kind of like be your Your support most of my most of the requests that we get are for cover-ups. Yeah, so The amount of people that send an email saying I hate my tattoo Because I didn't like the execution and when I meet that person whoever I'm tattooing I asked them for that for their story, you know, what happened like how did you End it up with this tattoo. Yeah, every story is similar when they say it. Well, you know, it was cheap So I got it done or they they were they were already doing it So I didn't want to stop. Oh, so at the end of the day most of my clients that get tattooed by me No matter the how If they if they don't have anxiety or maybe they they know how to speak up at the end of the day They ended up with a bad tattoo, you know, just kind of do your research at the end of the day It's all research, you know, and we are here to help you As much as we can my microphone keeps going down in my head is like Should we jump into the new video the new segment Yeah All right. Oh gosh, let's do it Okay, so you've seen it already, right? I've seen it. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta make sure they're good videos So they can make the cut, you know what I mean? All right, but you haven't seen it. All right, everybody ready for the Tattoo nightmare of the week Little little backstory to that So you had you don't know who the island boys are, right? No, you haven't heard that song you went viral on tiktok. Okay. What if I show you they artist or something Like are they sing? They are now Is this one here commercial commercials Okay, so that thing went viral on tiktok it was like Millions upon millions of views. Yeah, I can't believe it wasn't on your for you page No, crazy. Okay. Uh, the video that I got tagged It's on one of them. They got a new tattoo. Here we go. You ready? Oh, no. All right. We're gonna watch it So when I started when I saw this tattoo, I said scar face for sure, but Well, at least you know it's scar face As soon as wait, so he like just drew it all by hand free hand with sharpies It to free hand with sharpies You you got to be You got to be on point Well, uh, who do you know what artist did it? I clicked on that video and I was trying to look, you know on the comments a little bit of the Just to see who did it but he didn't tag the artist. Damn when they don't tag the artist though As soon as I clicked on it, uh, I saw the guy freehanding The whole piece on him and I said That's that's gonna turn out so bad. I like you can already tell when somebody has that artistic ability to freehand on skin Yeah And the way he was freehanding Everything looked at a proportion the features look all over the place and I said that's not gonna look right at all It kind of looks like a comic book. Yeah, I I don't know their financial situation I Don't know if they can afford me Because so Yes After watching their videos, I did, you know, a lot of people were saying that it's our rich No, I don't know they got money. Okay, and then they're always flexing, you know what I mean? They're always flexing money. Yeah um, so I wonder how This went down, you know, I mean like It could be loyalty How many like famous people get really like Yes shitty tattoos That's true. I mean, I don't think money has much to do because there's tons of like really talented artists out there Um, but there's a lot of people who have money. Yeah I mean, and they don't get like the best work if you had this on What what's your next step? If I had gotten that. Mm-hmm. I would um chop off my leg I'm totally kidding because right now it looks like a comic book which you could continue with that Hey, that's true Add another character to the other side and make it look like a a comic book scene in a way You can't change it, you know work with it The thing that drags my eye to this tattoo is the bridge of the nose The crookedness is right here. This just looks like a whoop. Yeah I don't know. I've never seen Scarface. I don't really know if that's like how his nose is It could be like that actor As a fan I can tell you that He doesn't have that kind of nose If that's what it is, you know, I would continue with that style And embrace it embrace it. Yeah, let him know this was on purpose. Yep You tell them I I wanted it this way Who tagged you in the video? I don't know I just saw a few a few people tagged me on it. Oh a couple people a couple people David Benitez 53 He said you need to go to mr. Reyes for a cover-up Nice tattoo Well, that was the the tattoo number of the week keep tagging me on videos that you guys want us to react And we are going to move on to the next segment Oh, there you go. Now we can hear you. I don't know what's going on with my computer I really don't know. It just keeps loading and keeps giving me the uh, so I think it's time for you to get a new computer This is the newest one. Oh my god Man, we gotta take that one back, bro Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's going on. That's why I'm like really surprised and pissed right now at the same time Until next time Congratulations on the 100k. Hey, oh, thank you so much. Man. I appreciate that. You're gonna be there very soon Hopefully, you know, that's the one goal. But until then that you keep getting tattoos. That's the whole You just you just getting blasted right now. I got um, I got my whole ass So I'm gonna be doing a convention in next week or this uh, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Brandon plans to do my whole ass. I'm gonna be bent on my Oh my god When my ass out to everybody with thousands of people to see it, I said, bro, I'm leaking on this I'm like, if you gotta go there So that's the one area we plan to do. And then I also plan to do the back of the head and neck ass Well, if we have time in that Oh my god And I did want to introduce you to uh, to my fiance here resilience We definitely skipped the only collection Just assed out on everything already Pretty much, yeah He's like you I know why I'm here. You're gonna ask me about my butt cheeks that I mean, that's the one good story. I can tell people like I'm gonna have my ass up to thousands of people Oh my god So you're fully committed to just getting a full body suit 100% yeah, like that's what that's like. I always tell people like when I say it I I'm probably one of the few people that me because I feel like a lot of people will talk and say they want one But don't have the whole kind of drive to do it. Like I'm full out like like I'm gonna be fully covered How would you feel if I was to get my butt cheek tattoo? I how would you feel if you were getting your butt cheek tattoo? Well, first Well, I don't really got like butt cheeks I don't either There was a video he posted on his story and it just looks good. I literally thought I had an ass Oh my god, I have nothing. I'm like if that's what people are gonna see that I'm in trouble But I mean I'm covering it up. So that's a good part now. So but it doesn't matter anymore Start working out glutes real quick. Oh, yeah I got a week. I got a week to do it Tell me about your journey. I just want to hear how you got into it How how the idea of you getting a full body suit started? Uh See that's a hard question. That is like I first I knew I was one of tattoos and for me it started out as I wanted to get tattoos because To see people's eyes away from things that I didn't want to look at like I have a hearing aid I have I don't have really ears And so all those things I didn't want people I was very self-conscious on that Yeah, so I thought you know what like getting tattoos is awesome because it takes the eye of somebody Away from maybe the things that I don't want them to see and on to the tattoos and it worked Like that was like a lot of people's reaction I felt people were no longer looking at me for my disabilities or the things that I was very self-conscious about And they were now looking more at the tattoos and then as the journey progressed and more and more tattoos came along I started to appreciate more just like the art of it all and um now it's just like, you know I was one day. I'm like, you know what I just want to be fully covered Like why not why be a little bit why be a little bit different You know instead of looking like every other person just look a little different Then it's kind of once you start getting something in your mind for so long You keep telling yourself after a while like now I'm just completely obsessed with the fact to get fully covered You know, you kind of didn't want to look different and you took the eye out of it and now you're embracing the whole thing Yeah, it's actually really weird now that you say because now like especially if like the the back of the head piece that I want It is uh, it's a very striking weird kind of evil looking piece Many that I've told are saying definitely don't do it So I was like now I'm definitely drawing eyes toward this area that I was was trying to get people away from now So I have accepted myself in terms of what I have now again It's just strictly on kind of the art of it and then also like also having this youtube channel I've learned that I'm able to inspire motivate other people to Be themselves get the tattoos that they want so I feel like I can do two things I can get the tattoos that I want I can get that all done and then also in theory when I'm posting these videos You know people can get inspired to maybe get that tattoo that is a little out there that they did There's a bit so that's kind of been now something that I've been really realizing and kind of pushing towards as well When's the convention Friday Saturday Sunday? Oh I've never it's funny too because I've never been to a convention This is gonna be your first time at a convention my first convention and I've never even I've never been to one And the first one I'm getting I'm actually gonna be in the convention having my ass up to thousands of people Question for you. How do you enjoy the uh the conventions because I know a lot of artists will say it's good It's a good experience to maybe a little bit of a stressful experience What do you find on it? I gotta say that um I I like conventions because of the interactions you get to meet new people You get to interact with uh people that the artists that maybe you wanted to talk to in person But until last year, I think it was a little bit different Because it was my first year after I my youtube blew up my my instagram I was tattooing but then I had people coming up wanting to meet me And I think that was like the dopest experience, but I was not prepared because I was tattooing and I started feeling a little A little Overwhelmed a little overwhelmed having people come up and wanting to talk to me I got a little nervous And I think I got a little awkward at some point because I think one of the most awkward moments that happened was This guy came in and he's like, yo, you're mr. Reyes. I've been watching your youtube I love your vibe man And I've always wanted to get a tattooed by you since I started watching you and and all these compliments back to back which I'm not Super used to you know to getting compliments back to back. I ran out of I ran out of thank you But the I finished the conversation so awkward that I told the guy, yeah, man. Do you want to watch me tattoo? So he didn't know what to do. He just literally I was like, yeah, you can come around the booth and watch me But he It was it was awkward because also that guy felt awkward like what what's next Like do I watch him and then what but he ended up leaving but I I got to say that uh I'm looking forward to the next convention. Uh me re-experiencing that that that event or a different event doesn't matter which one it is You better get used to that and more because now you've done a lot bigger since so Yeah, it's been a whole year now. So I uh, I think I have a different mentality now You know, uh, it was my first year of me dealing with that But I think now I'm gonna be more prepared and just going Ready to have fun and talk to people I was saying I wonder if you're gonna get a crowd, uh while you're getting tattooed or if it's gonna be That was my next question was it's it's do people like do they can they come like right up to you like right like And within like it's like I would like like four feet distance and like see you like Yeah, so you're just you're just you're just a piece of meat on on show You're a piece of me Exactly Shout out your video or your channel your tiktok your instagram anything that you want to say to the audience Everything is just just ink just ink pads and Follow me if you want it's just been a follow my journey.

So with that being said We're gonna close this segment and we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna come back and answer those emails Oh So, yeah So we are back and we are ready to answer those emails. Uh, I am excited to see What ideas you guys are sending me? Oh damn I was trying to figure out what that was Um, and yeah, so we uh today we're gonna be choosing the next two clients before we we answer those emails I do want to uh say that uh If you get accepted, uh, I'm gonna be super excited to tattoo you and I'm I cannot wait to get your tattoo done And if you get declined, I am so sorry. It's um I'm sorry. You were not chosen. It could be the concept was not right Maybe I am not excited about the concept. It could be maybe the cover up is too complicated And maybe it is not my style. Um It could be one of those factors, you know, and I just want you guys to I hope you guys understand that and if I do choose you best believe I'm gonna give you 110 percent and I I'm gonna be excited to tattoo you. So, uh, we're gonna jump into those emails And see what you guys said All right, next one. This one is a cover up Uh, true gray hint of color Says hey, brother. I really need a cover up bad. I'm 23 got a sleeve done at 18 20 while I was in the party seeing heavily and then getting sober and I absolutely hate everything about the sleeve I feel embarrassed just going out and it's ruining my early 20s. I really need you to bless me I am more than willing to fly in from canada Hey And bang out a two to three day session with you have a few ideas based off your your work And I'm pretty open to any of your ideas and anything that you think would cover this up So let me show you what picture it is or what He wants covered up. It is a bit dark. It is definitely a bit dark um As much as I want to I'm going to decline. Okay. I'm going to decline because the the the concept is Whoever did it the line work is solid in there And I know those lines is gonna be problem a problem to cover up and there's a lot of darkness going around So if you're watching this, um, I would suggest Uh, two to three sessions of laser next one is a cover up as well Um, she heard about you on tiktok Nice, um The cover up imagery it says I would like to get a whole sleeve looking for a dark plague theme Girl with a gas mask and the plague doctor masks the rest I leave it up to you You can tell he's excited What Wow Down yeah, we got our client It says I have a phoenix on my leg Honestly willing to cover up with any greek work you'd like it goes all the way up to my thigh I'm just more worried about the lower part of it. It's colored and pretty heavily I want my whole right leg covered up That is huge It almost looks like a feather going down his shin Oh Man, I'm I'm gonna decline. So I would say laser is your best choice at this point because bread is super hard to cover up and It's gonna show through next email. It is a cover up Uh, I heard about you on instagram and tiktok It says I have two skulls on my right forearm I want covered up one in the front forearm and one skull is in the back form I essentially want this to be a half sleeve cover up I'm really interested in your cultural work, but also I'm open to some of the serialism work you do Honestly, I just want something that looks badass and flows with the whole form not to stand alone pieces You know, he wants something to just attach I'm gonna decline He has a lot of tattoos all over the place and whatever I put on the form It's gonna seem like a whole different project. So you're gonna have a lot of random It's not gonna look connected to your sleeve. It's gonna seem different styles across the whole the whole sleeve All right, this one is a cover up Looking for a greek god inspired sleeve been a fan of your work for a while I marked this that it's a cover up. I have a four by half inch roman I'm gonna decline the concept of greek mythology. They look amazing, but at the moment it is Highly requested as you guys can see it's we already gone through a few emails and it's everything's the same concepts and at the moment I I am not Super pumped to tattoo greek mythology just because I've done it so much. All right, this next one. It is not a cover up It is right arm full sleeve Greek mythology I'm sorry. I'm gonna decline Appreciate you. You can find a lot of artists out there that would execute greek mythology amazing, you know, so definitely Choose someone that's gonna be as excited as you to tattoo greek mythology. All right next is a cover up It is says it says good afternoon. Mr. Reyes. I'd like to cover up cover all my form Or at least if we can go if we can cover the portrait that I have let me know if it can be done I'd like something about the universe or whatever you think fits I'm gonna get married and I'd love to have a cover for the pictures laugh aloud. Thank you and have a great day All right, so it's saying um cover all my forearm, which is a tiger and a portrait I'll accept I'll take it I will take it Oh, that was intense. We got our two Yes, we got our two, uh client selector And yeah, uh for everyone who got declined. I appreciate um I appreciate everyone for sending in the request and being interested in my work.
