Matthew Tyler Musto, aka “Blackbear,” the father of Midnight Thomas Musto, discusses his tattoos with “GQ.” When he was 14-15 years old, he began tattooing on his sleeves. On his left arm, he got a tattoo of a flying pig, which he thought was cool. When asked how many tattoos he has, he responded he has no idea, but it’s probably in the hundreds. When it started moving in his hands and neck, he lost count. T-Mobile Sidekick, Alkaline Trio Punk Rock Band Logo, and matching tattoos titled ‘Shitbag’ with his four friends all on his right sleeve are among his favorites. He believes that every tattoo has a narrative to tell, which is why he enjoys them. Kelly from ‘Teen Hearts Tattoos,’ who has done everything from his neck down, is his favorite tattoo artist. On his 27th birthday, he made a 27 grave by himself and scrawled ‘Help’ three times on his left sleeve. Other tattoos on his body include “Blackbear” on his fingers, “Mom” and “Dad” on both hands, and so on. Blackbear revealed that he had pancreatitis surgery as a result of severe drinking, which lasted three months in the hospital, and that he then stopped drinking and has been sober for three years.
His song title “Hot Girl Bummer” has sparked debate. In August of this year, Blackbear released a new song called “Hot Girl Bummer.” Blackbear was dragged by Megan Thee Stallion’s fans for the song title. Megan released her song “Hot Girl Summer,” which was about “women and men being unashamedly themselves,” as previously said. Despite Megan’s lack of public response, Blackbear defended his music. He said that the song was not a parody and that it had nothing to do with the other.
