'I spent £215k tattooing my entire body and one area was most painful by far'

Remy believes there's no other human on the planet to have tattooed their body more times than him. Now he exclusively revealed what area of his body is the most painful It's quite common for people to have multiple tattoos all over their body. And for the world's most tattooed dad, it's not just one inking but more multiple designs covering layers of his skin. ‌ Remy has been hitting headlines for years and more so nowadays having spent over £215,000 ($394,000 CAD) on his unique inkings. The former chef's journey began all the way back in 2001 where he got his first facial piercing, then shortly after he got a tattoo of his son's name in custom script. And now he's unstoppable as he goes under the needle multiple times a week. ‌ He might often share his progress on Instagram (@ ephemeral__remy), where he boasts 164,000 followers, and recently mentioned the savage response to trolls who comment on his appearance. ‌ But the tattoo fan often receives a lot of praise from followers who are inspired by his tattoo journey. In the comments section of a recent post, one said: "There's no such thing as perfect in this world but you are a perfect, example of a tattoo God Remy." Speaking exclusively with Mirror, the dad-of-one shared his progress and also revealed which area of his body is the most painful to tattoo. ‌ He said: "Most painful places for me have been in the inner crotch/inside the bum checks. "Most of me is between 10-30+ layers, and I am 100% positive there is no human who has ever lived that's had more layers, hours, and sessions than I have." ‌ On top of all the sessions Remy has had, he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon as he still gets inked multiple times every week. Most people who have an obsession with ink might be scared to ink their nether regions, but for Remy, that's not the case. He added: "My genitals are tattooed multiple times, and my armpits have been tattooed 16 and 17 times, for a combined total of 33 armpit tattoo sessions over the years. ‌ "I don't find armpit painful, and have always considered them overrated in terms of pain compared to what most people would have you believe." The Canadian once worked in the kitchen as a chef and he's spent decades on his incredible transformation. He usually shares updates to his tattoos on social media, whether it's Instagram or YouTube. And on his page, he calls himself the "real world's most tattooed man". Whether he gets the odd troll on social media, Remy often ignores the noise.

Bella Thorne's honest playlist: ‘I wrote an essay about why I admire Lil Wayne for school'

The first song I fell in love with When I was a kid, my mom gave me her iPod, and I fell in love with all her music from the 70s and 80s. I'd sing Call Me by Blondie at the top of my lungs, jumping on the bed. What a great song. The first single I downloaded I was in [Disney sitcom] Shake It Up when I started falling in love with hip-hop. I went on a binge and discovered BedRock by Young Money. I was so obsessed that I ended up writing an essay about why I admire Lil Wayne for school. The song I know every lyric to I became obsessed with 6 Foot 7 Foot by Lil Wayne featuring Cory Gunz because of the music video. The incredible visuals made it easy to memorise the lyrics, even though he's an incredibly fast rapper. The song I do at karaoke I don't hate a lot of things in life, but I hate karaoke. The only time I did it, I did Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea, even though it was the middle of summer. The song I can no longer listen to Any of my exes' music! The best song to play at a party I'm going to go with Bops by Coi Leray: 'I got bops, yeah, yeah.' It's just so good. She's got bops. What else does she need to say? The song I secretly like I've never been much for pop in general, even though there's some really great artists. My best friend really got me into Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl by Olivia Rodrigo. The best song to have sex to Pony by Ginuwine. The song that changed my life Yesterday by Atmosphere with Ant and Slug: 'I thought I saw you yesterday / But I know it wasn't you 'cos you passed away, Dad.' My father died when I was 10, so every time I hear that line, it's kind of beautiful. The song that makes me cry You can feel both the indifference and the pain in XXXTentacion's voice when he sings Changes. The song I'd play at my funeral I'm too superstitious for that one! The song that gets me up in the morning 10 Times by Stunna Girl. Why? Well, when you add it to your playlist, you'll see what I mean! Thorne's new film, Saint Clare, is available on UK streaming platforms now.

We tried the viral Korean tofu gelato in Singapore, and yes – it's worth all the hype

Messina is ringing in the crowds for good reason, but we've got our eye set on another viral ice cream parlour right now: Tofu G, a Korean concept specialising in tofu-based gelato. Unlike other gelato cafés that might boast of their wide flavour range, Tofu G keeps things sweet and simple with only six options to choose from, but quality more than makes up for the lack of quantity here. The original vegan tofu ice cream is pleasant on the tongue, but we highly recommend the 'high protein' version for a richer and more intense mouthful. Impressively, the fact that it's dairy-free doesn't compromise its creaminess. The sweet corn and black sesame flavours are also strong crowd favourites, and while we don't quite fancy the sweet potato (it reminds this writer of potong ice cream), we have high praises for the pistachio gelato, which has a full-bodied nuttiness. At $8 per scoop, Tofu G's gelato is a tad pricey but entirely worth the dollar. There's also much to love about the wooden hanok-inspired decor in muted tones. Tofu G's space at Orchard is only temporary, and the café will eventually make its home in a Telok Ayer shophouse right next to SongGyeOk. For now, you can still drop by this pop-up outlet at Mandarin Gallery #02-21 from 11am to 10pm daily. Look out for updates via Tofu G's Instagram page.
