Dad who spent 1,200 hours getting tattoos shares what he looked like before

A man completely covered in tattoos has taken to Instagram to show off his extensive inkings - revealing that he's spent an eye-watering 1,200 hours under the needle.

Remy has a lot of tattoos, and now nearly all of his skin is inked completely black - right up to his chin.

He has been quite vocal about his transformation over the years, as the Daily Star reports, after revealing the most awkward place to ink on his body.

Now he's shared a before and after pic that shows how he looked before his first inking, and it's quite different from his new look.

In an Instagram post, Remy, from Canada, has shared an image of his tattoo progress as he plans to enter the Guinness book of records.

He wrote: "For the driven, the time it takes to get there is always just an eventuality.

"I know where I'm going, and so it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there. The journey there is what matters most anyway."

In the photo, Remy took his top off as he displayed the blackwork job he's done on his torso.

He's been working on getting it freshened up for a while now as he documents it on YouTube too.
