My Entire Face & Body Are Tattooed - Until Today | TRANSFORMED
TAY from Australia, is a self confessed horror fanatic whose unique look brings him an abundance of attention on a daily basis. Tay has roughly 80% of his body tattooed with 19 piercings that he has built up over many years. Tay told Truly: "I get heaps of different reactions, from people wanting to take photos, to people completely crossing the road and not wanting to deal with me at all, I guess not many people are rocking the full tattoos." Tay's dad was not thrilled with his tattoos and it took a long time for him to accept them. "He definitely wasn't the biggest fan when I did my face," Tay admitted. Today, Tay is going to take a huge step out of his comfort zone by completely covering up his tattoos and getting out of his signature black clothes into something a little more 'average Joe'. Then, he will be surprising his dad and best friend Detlyn with his brand new look. Will they prefer the old horror fanatic they know and love? Or will they like the 'average Joe' they see in front of them?

00:00I have 80% of my body tattooed and 19 piercings.
00:03My favorite thing about my appearance is that I literally look like a graffiti ball.
00:08So today I have a makeup artist coming around to cover up all my tattoos.
00:12Are you ready?
00:13Yep.
00:14I look like an alien and I'm going to surprise my dad and best friend Dettlin.
00:21You look ugly.
00:23If I was to put a number on the tattoos I'd have to say one.
00:25Starts here and ends at the toes.
00:28Definitely one of the most painful tattoos would have to be
00:30my nostril going the line going over my lip into my nose.
00:35So probably my favorite thing about my appearance is that I literally look like a graffiti ball.
00:41I get heaps of different reactions from people wanting to take photos to people
00:46completely crossing the road and not wanting to deal with me at all.
00:48I guess not many people are rocking the full face tattoos.
00:52So I don't normally wear colored shirts but since we're taking away my tattoos why not go all out.
00:58So today I have a makeup artist coming around to cover up all my tattoos
01:02and I'm going to surprise my dad and best friend Dettlin.
01:04I think my dad might cry.
01:07He definitely wasn't the biggest fan when I did my face but I think Dettlin will just laugh.
01:13Hi Terry, I'm Danielle.
01:14How you doing? Nice to meet you.
01:15Nice to meet you.
01:16Come on in.
01:18So I'm going to use a homemade PAX paint that I've made.
01:22Then I'm going to go over with a cream color almost like a nice natural lock skin color.
01:29And then I'm going to use isopropyl colors and flick them to get a nice speckle like we have
01:33in our skin some freckles things like that.
01:36The challenge here is we've got a lot of lock color so basically blocking down the blue from
01:41the tattoo and then creating a nice natural skin tone.
01:45So how are you feeling?
01:46Very nervous.
01:47I'm not sure what to expect at all.
01:53Are you ready?
01:54Yep.
01:55All right, let's go.
02:02Oh, that's weird.
02:06That is not normal at all.
02:11Oh, I look like an alien.
02:17I've never seen myself with a shaved head, no hair, no tattoos.
02:22That's creeping me out more than anything.
02:24I think I look like my dad.
02:28Hello.
02:29How you doing?
02:29How you going?
02:30I mean, I met him 13 years ago and he had a few tattoos then and it sort of just gradually
02:36gets better?
02:38Worse?
02:38I don't know.
02:39Hard to say.
02:40I tried to scare him out of getting tattoos by getting him a tattoo.
02:43So he didn't want any more and that backfired on me big time.
02:47I'm feeling pretty nervous.
02:49I do not know how they're going to react at all.
02:58You look ugly, honestly.
03:01I don't have a jawline anymore.
03:03I know.
03:04Cattle are back on.
03:04Cattle are back on for sure.
03:07The freckles and everything.
03:09Jesus.
03:09You look so much like my brother.
03:12I'm serious, man.
03:14Everything is just so different.
03:16I prefer Tay with tattoos, 100%.
03:19As a father, I prefer him without.
03:21But to be looking at the result that we have today, I don't mind his tattoos as much.
03:27But no, I'm not going to say my boy is ugly because he's not.
03:30He's still my baby boy.
03:33Just an uglier version.
03:35I really wasn't that surprised with their reaction.
03:38I knew that they were just going to laugh at me.
03:39I absolutely hate the way I look right now.
03:42This is so uncomfortable.
03:44This is not normal to me.
03:46I'm not a fan of this at all.
03:48I feel so much more comfortable identifying as a heavily tattooed person.
03:52So my plan of attack right now is to get this off, get back to looking my normal, and that's it.
