In episode 22, I sat down with King of Ink Land King Body Art - formerly Matthew Whelan, widely known as Britain’s most tattooed man, whose body transformation has made headlines across the world 🖤🖋️

Having spent over 1,600 hours under the needle, he opens up about the journey behind the ink, the identity he’s built and the story that goes far deeper than appearance.

From his dramatic transformation to surviving a terrifying knife attack that nearly took his life, this conversation goes into pain, resilience, obsession and what it truly means to become the person you feel you are.
