Machine Gun Kelly Debuts Ear Tattoos at Clive Davis Pre‑Grammys Gala

The reveal came during the Beverly Hilton gala where he performed an Ozzy Osbourne tribute.

Overview

  • MGK unveiled abstract designs on both ears at the Jan. 31 event, including the word "ether" and a small red heart.
  • He walked the red carpet in an all‑black look with a partially unbuttoned shirt, wide‑leg trousers, a leather holster, a studded belt, hoop earrings and a chain necklace.
  • Photos posted to Instagram showed the new ink as he wrote, "one day i’ll be holding a Grammy that isn’t made of chocolate," while thanking Clive Davis, Harvey Mason Jr., Sharon Osbourne and Jelly Roll.
  • During the party at the Beverly Hilton, he took the stage for a performance that included a tribute honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne.
  • Recent coverage referenced his 2024 blackout tattoo spanning his torso and arms, which he later said required 44 needles without numbing and was the most painful process he has experienced.
