At the age of 20, Weigelt embarked on a journey of extensive body art, resulting in 95 percent of his body being covered in tattoos. Looking back at his pre-tattooed self, he told the Daily Star, “It’s quite surreal to see myself without the tattoos, yet internally, I feel unchanged.”
He described the process of tattooing his face and skull as incredibly painful, likening it to the sensation of being scraped with metal. “I endured six sessions, each lasting five to six hours, with the pain reaching around eight on a scale of ten,” he recalled.
Weigelt stressed that his tattoos do not carry deep meanings or hidden messages; they are simply expressions of art. Over a period of five years, he has invested $50,000 in his tattoo collection.
When offering advice to fellow tattoo enthusiasts, Weigelt suggested, “Select designs that resonate with you personally. I’ve seen many people worry about whether a tattoo fits them. If it speaks to you, that’s what matters most.”
