Hey, man, what's up?
What's up, man?
How you doing?
What's going on?
I'm 2 Chainz.
Ryan Jenkins, Hart & Huntington.
Yeah, so this episode of "Most Expensivest,"
we discuss finishing touches.
I'm in Vegas, I'm ballin' hard.
I'm doing outlandish stuff.
And before I go back to the city,
I need to get a piece of ink,
something to remember my time out here.
I have three kids --
Heaven, Harmony, and Halo.
I got Heaven name, so I'm thinking about
getting Harmony and Halo's name,
and I'm, basically, running out of room.
So I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
We can go with, maybe,
a halo over something to represent Halo.
Maybe a music note for Harmony.
Yeah.
So just something real small, something...
Yeah.
You know, represent both of them.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah.
Maybe fill up this area right here.
Yeah.
Okay.
What kind of ink y'all got now?
Special ink -- What this is?
So we got this Indian Ink here
and this is from Carey Hart's burn-out,
his exhaust from his Indian motorcycle.
♪♪
So, basically, what he did is,
he just set there on the gas, did a burn-out,
and then Franco Vescovi
from Vatican Studios in Orange County,
extracted the carbon from the burn-out,
'cause carbon's a main ingredient in ink.
He sterilized that, purified it,
put it into an ink form,
and then you got Indian Ink here.
Oh.
I love the packaging.
I'm into marketing a lot.
That is so dope right there.
I love it.
There's only 10 bottles in existence,
and we'll never do it again.
Man, this is crazy.
So how much for this whole thing?
You know, right now, we're doing like $300 a cap.
Like a cap?
A cap.
$300 just for that?
$300 just for that.
Jenkins: It's probably about 30 caps in there,
so that's like a $1,000 bottle of ink.
Man, that's a very expensive finishing touch,
if I may add.
How much is a regular bottle of ink?
Probably get something twice that size for $20.
Twice that size for $20?
Yeah.
Regular ink.
Yeah.
Narrator: Tattoo ink has come a long way.
The earliest evidence of tattoo art was
found on a 5,300-year-old iceman named Otzi.
All of his 50 tats were made
by rubbing charcoal into fine cuts in the skin.
Yikes!
Today, we're much more civilized.
Capture a little bit of carbon from motorcycle burn-outs
to make really expensive ink.
We don't know how many goats Otzi paid
for his sweet-ass body art,
but here's what we do know --
the iceman rocked a banging lower-back tattoo.
Was it for medicinal acupuncture like scientist believe,
or was our man just getting amped
for a Cabo spring break?
This all right for me to use?
Y'all let black folks -- put this on black folks --
person before?
Swear to God, man.
I'm serious, man.
I don't want to break out by this shit.
It got to react good to brown skin,
or we gonna be having problems and stuff, man.
I haven't had any problems so far tattooing up anybody.
You done tattooed somebody black with that stuff, man?
I have tattooed somebody black with this.
You got to put a lot of ink on there.
I got some $20 ink on me, man, staying for a long time.
So you gonna put Halo and Harmony right there?
You want me to write it or you want me to dr--
I was gonna draw like a little, couple music notes
with a little halo over top of it.
For something you gonna symbolize.
Something to symbolize.
Exactly.
You gonna --
Let me see what you got in mind, man.
I'm concerned about this motorcycle exhaust system.
'Cause when I hear exhaust, I hear...
[ Laughter ] ...I think emissions test.
All right, you ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
♪♪
I've got tatted in Vegas before.
But I actually flew my tattoo artist
out to Vegas.
A lot of people can't take it.
A lot of people can't take 'em
for the area that they're in on the body
and the length of time that it takes to do it.
What's the most sensitive area to get a tattoo,
in your opinion?
Well, for me, personally,
it has to be my feet... or behind my knees.
The back of your legs.
That hurts for me.
I ain't never thought about that.
What you think about the back of the elbow?
You don't think that got no fire to it?
It got a little fire to it back there.
It hurts.
It stings.
Okay.
Got a little fire to it.
Yep, that and underneath the armpit
really hurts me, too, man.
Ooh!
Shit's like that baby skin, you know what I mean?
Underneath the armpit.
Yeah, like right up in there.
That's got to hurt.
[ Buzzing ]
Be talking on the shit, be like, aaaah!
No, I'm just playing with you.
How long you been tattooing?
10 years.
Longest I've done anything.
I guess I should've asked you that before I let you tattoo me.
[ Laughs ] Yeah, right.
You'd be like, "Six months," I'd be like, "Damn."
Yeah, right.
This is my first one, actually.
Have you tattooed a celebrity?
I've tattooed Bob Burnquist.
I've tattooed Rich Homie Quan a few times.
Okay.
Couple NASCAR drivers,
couple of, uh...[Clears throat] adult performers.
Okay.
How you feel about what you got going on?
Everything coming out all right --
Everything's nice and crisp right now.
I'm putting a little bit of rays around the halo
to accentuate it.
Yeah, man.
'Cause that's my son, man.
Yeah, make it strong,
Yeah.
Halo.
How old's Halo?
He'll be 2 next week.
Oh, man, that's such a fun age.
Yeah, man.
♪♪
Ooh, that's pretty much a wrap right there.
Oh, he made the halo look crazy.
$300 cap of ink, man.
That looks pretty good, man.
I appreciate you, man.
For sure, man, any time.
Thank you, man.
We here at Las Vegas, Hart & Huntington,
the most expensive ink, $300 a cap.
That's how you do it.
Blam.
