In a world where body art is becoming more widely accepted, Mathew Whelan, known as “King Body Art,” truly stands out. With 90% of his body covered in tattoos and a love for unconventional hairstyles, he embodies the spirit of self-expression.
Mathew’s journey into body art started at 16 with a simple bulldog tattoo, a far cry from his current appearance. In 2009, he legally changed his name to “King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite,” though he’s commonly referred to as “Body Art.” Over the years, he has spent around 30,000 pounds to transform his look.
Recently, Body Art took his body modification journey to the next level by having a silicone skull implanted into his chest. This bold move, along with his constantly changing hairstyles, has cemented his status as a trailblazer in the world of body art.
