Remy Schofield's 2,200-hour tattoo journey captivates thousands

Remy Schofield has covered 97% of his body with tattoos, spending an astronomical amount on the artwork. He recently noticed there were no free spots left for new tattoos. To everyone's surprise, he shared a photo from his teenage years.

More and more people worldwide are opting to get tattoos. For many years, tattoos evoked negative associations, mainly connected with the criminal environment, serving as a lasting "souvenir" of serving a prison sentence.

Fortunately, over time, tattoos began to be seen as a form of self-expression or a permanent commemoration of important people or events. Some even recognized their aesthetic value. Jeremy Schofield from our country is one of the most tattooed individuals in the world.

Over several years of tattooing, the 36-year-old spent more than 2,200 hours and nearly 415 thousand Canadian dollars. Besides most of his face and hands, his body is almost entirely covered in black ink. In some cases, the ink was applied 30 times.

I currently have two sessions a week and have been doing so few for the last seven years. Prior to that, I had as many as five sessions a week sometimes. I am currently working on a full colour over blackout body suit and will be starting my back soon. I also believe I am currently the world's most tattooed person to ever live – and by a very large margin - emphasized the proud Canadian about his "achievement".

"Remy," as he calls himself, creates tattoos on his skin according to previously established designs. His tattoo collection includes skulls, flowers, body parts, and various creatures. His passion for body modification led him to completely change his career path. The former chef decided to open his own studio, becoming its living advertisement.

Schofield systematically posts photos of his tattoos on Instagram. He has attracted over 80 thousand followers who track his transformations. He recently posted a photo taken in 2007, just before he discovered his life’s passion.

These transformation photos are always great to see. Even better is that you look happy in both of them; You appear younger and more beautiful. My respect; Besides the obvious tattoos, you are also more fit. Great transformation; I love what you do. I'm always waiting for your posts. Keep it up, man! You are an innovator and an inspiration - praised internet users.

Remy emphasized that despite his controversial appearance, he rarely hears negative comments in person, and the only critical opinions are found online. Some people on the street even ask him for autographs and photos.
