A dad who has covered 96% of his body with thousands of tattoos has shown a throwback picture after his most recent addition.

Former chef Remy, from Canada, has forked out £75,000 on his transformation over the years.

He's picked up more than 210,000 followers on Instagram due his journey, giving them first-hand glimpses of his newest work.

Most recently, he gave his followers a topless throwback picture from two-and-a-half years ago to remind them how fer he has come, the Daily Star reports.

Alongside it he wrote: "Zero can become a home to you when you spend enough time at the bottom.

"The most wonderful and most dangerous people are those who have survived shipwreck time and time again.

"The thrill of recovery is an acquired taste, but quite addictive too. From a day of blackwork touch ups sometime two and a half years ago."

The photo showed his newly inked chest with blackwork, which is a style of tattoo which are made up exclusively with black pigment.

Remy is almost covered from head-to-toe in blackwork with parts of his body inked multiple times.

With all the blackwork surrounding his torso, Remy also has a skull ink on his chest and an eye below his nipples.

Some fans were left stunned by the difference in such a short time.

One person said: "It's been amazing watching your journey, especially as someone fascinated with blackwork. Fantastic."

While another commented: "Love your drive and self belief," while a third gushed: "This is wild!"

Remy shares updates on his social media pages or YouTube channel, which has 16,600 subscribers.
