The nose. That is the most painful, even the baby toes, the nail beds hurt a lot,” he admitted.“I sneezed up black ink for about 20 minutes after that, and it was the most painful thing I’d ever been through.” The body modification fanatic has also had his eyes tattooed a bright shade of magenta and gold as well as continuing his iconic square pattern on his eyelids, and he admitted that the procedure had also been a struggle. “The eyelids are very painful, even with anaesthetic.

I have the inside of the eyelid tattooed; people generally only tattoo up to the eyelash line,” he explained.The YouTube video followed Matt around a tattoo convention, and he could be seen calmly receiving a small insignia on his calf to add to his collection.
