Brutal stupidity

People get tattoos for all kinds of reasons: to memorialize loved ones, to achieve a certain aesthetic.

Then, we dial the crazy all the way to 11.

“If you want a brutal-looking tattoo, there is only one way to get it: brutally,” Cammy Stewart, one of three Brutal Black Project tattooists, tells Vice. “If you want to look brutal, you have to go through the process.”

The tattoo collective’s signature look is extreme, dark and invariably on your face. The process, which is done free of charge for those who can take it, is accented by screams of pain, splashes of tattoo ink and blood all over the place.

Nope.
