‘World’s most tattooed’ man who is 97% covered in tattoos says he’s now spent almost £240,000 on ink obsession

A dad who has inked over 97% of his body claims to have splashed out nearly £240,000 on his tattoos – spending £80,000 in the last year alone.

Jeremy Schofield, better known as Remy, has jet-black skin from years of getting work done, not counting part of his face and palms.

He’s inked over the art several times as well, to ensure the colour remains vibrant – with around 2,200 hours under the needle over the years.

And he isn’t planning on stopping anytime soon, sharing his journey with over 60,000 fans on Instagram (@‌ephemeral__ Remy).

“My body has been fully tattooed over [many times],” the thirty-six-year-old former chef-turned-tattoo-shop-manager told What’s The Jam.

“I currently have two sessions a week and have been doing so few for the last seven years.

“Prior to that, I had as many as five sessions a week sometimes.

“I am currently working on a full colour over blackout body suit and will be starting my back soon.

“I also believe I am currently the world’s most tattooed person to ever live – and by a very large margin.”

It appears no area is out of bounds for the dad who has a teenage son named Ivan and is married to his wife Sarah.

Remy has previously hit headlines after talking about his most painful ink – the inside of his bum – and has also shared how he got ‘vampire’ teeth installed.

Among his collection of tattoos features blackwork, skulls, and an eye below his nipples.

While he has no regrets, the dad is often subject to evil comments from trolls online who report his account due to his unusual appearance.

Previously, Remy told Jam Press: “Most of the work I am doing currently has widely been called impossible by ‘experts’ and I’m proving them wrong every day.

“Online people say all kinds of wild stupid things daily but in person, I never get anything, but friendly curiosity and compliments.

“In fact, my son’s friends are always excited to meet me, as most of them follow my TikTok, and some have even asked for an autograph and pictures with me.

“The only ‘hate’ I get is really just a creation of social media.

“I believe social media is making it easy for many people to be much more hateful than they’d ever dare to be in reality.”
