Action Bronson Breaks Down His Tattoos | GQ
2:20 *slaps stomach* this bad boy can fit so much tattoos..
Kotrljko Smaraljone fail. 2:18
James Jones fail. 2:19
Sir Lord Mr President Trump It’s actually 2:20 lol
Sir Lord Mr President Trump No1 even cares
More than most, I would guess...
The only thing he actually “explained” about his tattoos is that they are epic
They're pretty sickening
Prolly so geeked he forgot
@Chris Tan pray
For Real? You think they look epic? Wouldn't even get them if the artist offers me money for this lol
Jason mashalla nobody asked
He looks like he flipped through a book of options in a tattoo place and said "Give me these 4 pages."
#RhymingOverBeats bruh i was just about to write that 😭
SO? What's wrong w those tattoos?
@@jonbon1995 nothing at all, it's just not original but he said he likes traditional tattoos, so if that's what he wants on his body, that's up to him. 👌
Better ink them most rappers lmao
Exactly. Trash
When he slapped that tank. I felt that 😔
People don't understand the beauty behind traditional tattoos. Those thick lines and bright colors can grab anyones eyes!
I used to not understand it until I started to really appreciate the traditional tattoo style. I thought it was so lame to "just pick something off the wall." Theyre timeless and classic. Having different traditional designs tattooed is like collecting little pieces of history.
Oh lord I died when he said "Kneeagle"
My favorite was probably Godzilla fighting Charles Barkley
Look up wan tattooer! He’s the one who did that one, and he tattoos only that type of imagery
"It's turrible"
Tattoo artist: *hands him the book of tattoos* so which one would you like? Action Bronson: yes
Flash*
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂So true
@@post-hardcoreboi7145 Ji i
And all colored red green an yellow
Action told his tattoo artist “give me an ed hardy t shirt on my body”
91750fast it’s a joke, obviously.
91750fast wow you must be his manager huh
I know girls with better art
Hahahahahah 🤣 (2 chain voice) “truuuuue”
91750fast relax man
Behind the head tat is HARD.
What does it mean
HARD AF
Yea but it’s a crescent on a cathedral. A crescent is the sign for Islam just like the Star of David is for Jews.
Jamshaid Mir yeah but why would he tattoo a sign for Islam ? "Just wondering"
Lola Lola that’s what I’m wondering too. If you look up Muslim religious places many have that crescent up top where as churches might have the cross.
The older I get, the more I like bad tattoos as well...... Every tattoo has a story, and is a reminder of a time in your life. I think bad tattoos, are a constant humbling reminder of where you were in life at that time.
Lmfao only you crackheads love bad tattoos. You got me f’d up if you thinking I’m about to get something permanent that’s badly done on my body. Nobody wants trash tattoos
@@zzirfamo24 Traditional is cooler than realistic
Says he doesnt trust people with only good tattoos yet only has good american traditional tattoos
but none of them are good .
@@Jonathan01233 they're very stylish , i love em
@@Jonathan01233 how are none of them good there done perfectly 😂
@@theprofound4156 you must have horrible tats lmao
@@alber1523 well thts the style of those tattoos... old school (American traditional) So i mean like them or not theyre done perfectly. And im not really sure why my tattoos are relevant to this convo 😂
I love the way he just slaps himself. It is just so funny to me.
He's got stuff to slap might as well slap it XD Action's the best
@Ilir Cami padyshim,vetem shqiponja e flamurit mungon
*0:55** The way he slapped himself! Geez*
2:19
2:51
you don't slap yourself?
Prince Devitt arent you supposed to be demanding your rematch for the Universal Title or being the real Bullet Club leader?
LyricalGenes I died
I keep coming back to this video because I absolutely love all of Bronson's tattoos. Like I don't think he has one bad tattoo. They're all dope. Love the trad stuff.
yeah this is GQ's best tat vid
Walks into smith street tattoos and says “I’ll have one of everything”
Says he doesn’t trust people who say they get tattooed by all the best people. Gets tattooed by Wan, Dan santoro, Javier Rodriguez and Bert krak.
@@xibalbadoom1837 - right , they are somewhere at the top of the tattooing pyramid
"This body needs to be ornamental" 😂
I mean, his body definitely resembles the shape of a Christmas ornament...
+TRAAAP true. the muvafuckin angel
I swear these are 2k tatoos
JTHouston aka the GOAT especially the wolf on his head
JTHouston aka the GOAT on God
JTHouston aka the GOAT Ed Hardy logos
Fr😂😂🤨
He gets most of his stuff done at Smith Street Tattoos in Brooklyn. Place is too legit
I love how he is supposed to explain his tattos and most of the video is "hey this drawing looks sick so I got it"
I wanna get high and eat chicken wings with this dude and let him tell me about the world. God bless AB
Yeah, that would be such an intelligent conversation!
The man is living his best life...Me just like you , but I wish on the same table , Meyhem ALC and the man that invented murder S/o BIG BODY BES ? would be here too... Man those 4 guys are just on top of everything they sitting on top of the world , and after them there is only the sun man.
I'm not sure which is my fav🤔🤔 "Godzilla vs Barkley" or "CreeperWolf" lmao 😂😂
Action Bronson in the Tattoo shop: give me the wall, and that beamer out front.
hhahaha bro why aint this top comment
This video lives rent free in my head
“I picked this off the wall in the Bronx”
big guy = big skin area for tattoos
Gherasim Florin Welcome to my channel.Please I want to support you There is a video in my channel I hope to watch it.Please this is my dream I want to become famous please.I want to achieve my dream please subscribe my channel
I don’t mind being thick because of that reason. Have tons of tattoos, tons more to come
#fact
Needs to lose some fkin weight heart attack waiting to happen
If he ever loses a lot of weight though that shits gonna look so weird...
That gun on his shoulder was so detailed
"I got the knee-agle." 😂😂
Love it. “Go get tattooed” in the end. GO GET TATTOOED!!!!
His skin is smooth af
That stretch mark coco butter lotion he uses does magic lol
Who am I Pause.
"Sickening"?!, Bronson is down with the Delray Misfits! Just when i thought he couldn't get any better he one ups me. Action, i salute you!
tankterrain He's got a tattoo of Lenny on one cheek and Jay Masters on the other.
laughed when i heard that
"Why don't you tattoo some muscle definition on you, BRAD?"
I can’t stop seeing him standing with his hands on his “hips” in the movie “the Irishman” I’m dead 😂
I like that he doesn't have the gaps between tattoos filled in. I think that looks better and makes the individual pieces easier to see
Action working as a waiter in a greek tavern: -So, what do we have for today? *pulls out the beef tattoo with the greek lettering* -Pick a piece.
Uncle Stewie lamb*
navi singh WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE?
XD lol
"It's an M5 Wagon u gotta have bad tattoos" GOAT
The M5 tat is actually dope imo and I like how it fits well with his other tats
this is one of the better tat collections ive seen
Love how all the colors and art styles coincide with each other. Walking body of art.
I love how proud he is on his tattoos
Bronsolini loves that traditional style ink! I personally want all of mine to look completely different but to each his own man. Dope ink and great advice, "Go get tattooed!"
The neagle lmao just when you thought you've heard it all
Doesn't like people with "New Tattoos" Started getting heavily tattooed 4yrs ago 😂😂😂😂
Gabriel Pacheco lmao
I like how he starts laughing to himself when he's explaining the tattoos lmao
love action bronson man, wavy music and hilarious commentary for life
love this guy, thats what it's all about
these actually dope much respect for the americana style
So confident so dope! Seriously the biggest role model
this is how I’m gettin my tattoos , so unique also shows he put a lot of time in them💖
I've been waiting on a vid like this for years.
2:18 is my favorite part
People hating on his tattoos must not know much. Those are some of the best American traditional tattoos I’ve ever seen
Most of them were done by bert krak at Smith st. Tattoo in Brooklyn, One of the best traditional tattooers there is. It's just a style of art, idk how you can't love it
“Wet Behind The Ears” “This body got to be Ornimental” 😂😂💀💯
The way he slapped that war tank was fantastic
That advice in the beginning has to be the worst tattoo advice I've ever heard HAHA
Dean Rojas not at all
Not really. He’s just saying that tats can be scars of stupidity or adolescence and that maybe you haven’t grown as an individual if you haven’t made some “permanent” mistakes in your day. Ya feel me?
It's good advice
Dean Rojas nah. Just get what yu like that represents what yu are or like .
Dean Rojas yeah but he’s a moron that’s done the visible tattoos before he’s even done his back or most of his hidden body. Anyone that takes this clown seriously about tattoos is dumb af
“She looked like Vanderla Silva with heels and a dress on” lol 😂
2:30 "I saw that on DMT" 😂😂
If I had Disneyland on the back of my head I wouldn't cut my hair
icon.
ma boooi
cancerboi what does he do?
Philadelphian ___ Mgtow He raps and eats and bullshits in front of a camera.
cancerboi son I thought it was me tripping
Facts
0:05 Action describing himself at 0:30
He is so freaking chill!!! I like that guy maann!
0:17-0:23 I was not prepared for this video
I really love the style and colours of his tattoos, is there a name for the type of tattoos he has or is it just traditional?
It’s American traditional
american tradition and the artists appear to be dan santoro and bert krak
2:11 Yea they feeling that lol
I love his whole spirit! Dudes a literal gem stone. A whole vibe. Please bring to me someone that doesn’t like this man
Bro the Godzilla be Barkley is so dope lmao
Nice old school ink👍
When you fall asleep at a party and everyone starts drawing on you
😂😂😂 Bam Bam is such a creative! Very inspiring and interesting dude. And his music is good too!
I like the idea of BMW E34 M5 Touring as Tatoo ;))
Hey GQ, make the videos in this series longer.. missed opportunity.. the stories behind some of his tattoos would have been gold.
Action bronson is a mixture of me when I was 10 and me now when Im drunk and high at the same time
The best part of this is he’s repping Tyler with the Golf Le Fleurs
Ornamental...Action always dropping vocabularical gems. (Hehe vocabularical)
this is like when i talk to my two year old after i gave him some crayons
This guy is a walking wallpaper. Human Museum art.
1:28 those are fighter knuckles
That lamb chart tho! 🔥🔥
Action: "A Scorpion" Interviewer: "What's your astronomical sign?" Action: "Sagittarius...."
Tylo Maybe he just likes the way scorpions look?
not all scorpion tattoos have to be astrological tattoos
You can tell he had one artist do a lot of his tattoos.
My mans got an e34 wagon tattooed on him. That’s my daily driver lmao
That Barkley vs Godzilla tat is legend.
His tattoos are more like true art than others. It's very unique, I like it.
Its real 90s era Flash style stuff looks neat
Bronson: which one should I get Artist: say no more
That castle on the back is great
Shot on same day as the GQ Undercover episode ? The outfit doh
Do another one w action now that he’s ripped and has more
"This body needs to be ornamental." -Action Bronson :-l
this series is dope i was just thinking bout getting tatted
“You see a display of art” 😂
American Traditional the best tattoos ever!
No they suck lmao
McLovin too simplistic imo
KO dude said tribal..
JACKZN your point?
Stacks 99 no they don’t lol
Godzillla vs Barkley
Most inspirational thing I’ve seen
The Godzilla vs Barkley tat is dope
Mans has gained a lot of weight. Need to keep that in check for his own sake. Cheers man
Been following the guy for like 6 years now. He always was this big, at time he was even bigger. Dunno what you're on about. Show me a pic or scene where he's significantly more slim.
TheKeyMast3r he’s just a big guy
I was going to say the same thing and I don't even "follow" per say he still is the same size
TheKeyMast3r he’s actually lost weight
He has been fatter than this before.
Noooo he cut his beard
He got drunk and messed it up so he had to cut it all off
CodyAlushin that's so him
At least he can eat without any trouble now
Rocko Cee Lol I dont think he hes ever had problems with that
No he didnt, he cut it off for a movie he's in.
Those charles barkley and the creeper wolf tats are kinda fire
I'm so glad his beard is growing back in. It is part of his identity.
Kneeagle braaaa 😂
im dead
Said he didn't talk about his Albanian eagle
Swag Swag “but you english is low af” lmao that isn’t even a proper sentence
Swag Swag are you listening to yourself? Lol
Swag Swag his mom is a jew... His dad is Albanian lol.
Swag Swag his dad is albanian and the father gene is more in the children’s blood so „biologically“ he’s more albanian and he also rapped albanian and has sung with albanian artist just because he doesn’t run around with the albanian flag doesn’t mean he represents america more
Swag Swag and he even has the albanian eagle as a tattoo so
I love how most of his tattoos are like the old sailor
Dude his head tats are so fire.
