Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, whose legal name is Colson Baker, says he has experienced health problems after getting a large “blackout” tattoo that covers much of his upper body. Multiple reports describe his comments about adverse effects following the tattooing, including episodes he characterizes as leaving him yellow and unwell and symptoms that he links to the process. One account says he describes being “yellow and sick,” while another highlights effects that he says interfere with movement in certain parts of his body. The reports also note that he has discussed the tattoo as a form of “dark mode” body art and that he underwent extensive tattooing over a relatively short period. In addition, experts cited by one outlet list potential risks associated with tattooing, including infections that can lead to blood-related illness, scarring, and eye or vision risks when appropriate precautions are not taken. The articles present his personal statements alongside general medical commentary, without confirming a specific medical diagnosis.
