Dad who covered 96% of body in tattoos shares throwback and says 'there's no limit'

A dad who has forked out more than £75,000 on tattoos doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.

You may think there's little space left for former chef Remy to ink, but you'd be wrong. The tattoo-obsessed Canadian, who has 96% of his body covered, has gone over some of his tattoos more than 30 times, and previously sported a 'black out design' - which has now developed to a multi-coloured pattern with striking images including an eye with teeth around the edges.

His arms, thighs, back, and even the 'inside of his bum' have been decorated with multi-layered tattoos, leaving just a small part of his face left. But, the dad, who also has a penchant for facial piercings, didn't always look like he does now.

Taking to Instagram, Remy showed off two side-by-side photos taken six years apart. In the left, it looks like he is completely covered in tattoos - with skulls on his chest and arms, along with black-out sections and red roses. However, Remy has kept his tattoo studio in business by repeatedly adding to his inks - and his tattoos now have such vivid detail and depth.

"The more things change the more they stay the same. If it seems like I talk about this often, it's because there's still so many people out there who either don't know this is possible, or who are in full-blown denial," Remy said. "There is no known limit to the amount of ink the human body can take, and anyone who says otherwise is either unaware or a liar."

It's clear Remy has no regrets about his inks, which started in 2009, and doesn't care what trolls have to say about his appearance. In a 2021 interview with Daily Star, the dad said: "I never get any 'bad' or 'hateful' comments from anyone family or stranger in person.

"I only ever hear those sorts of things from people online, in public I get only positive or curious comments. When I receive hate online I either ignore it or wish the hater/troll well, as I'm big enough to realise what's upset them isn't me. I realise something else is unfulfilled or bothering them in their personal life."
