Vinnie Hacker's Tattoo Collection Includes a Few He Regrets

Vinnie Hacker's Tattoos has been something the TikTok star wanted since he was 14. After almost filling up one arm, Vinnie Hacker revealed some were done as an impulse, while all were ones his mother disapproved of.

Since going viral, TikTok has produced a wave of trendy influencers, and Hacker found himself on that list. The 20-year-old had over five million followers at the time of writing and became internet famous for his lip-syncing videos.

Since then, his dirty blonde blocks and numerous tattoos have become his signature look. During an interview in 2022, Hacker offered fans a tour of his ink. However, although he has tattoos all over his body, Hacker's total number of tattoos is unclear.

Hacker Got His First Tattoos before Fame

Before Hacker became well-known on social media for his thirst traps, he was an ordinary kid from a same-sex Calothic school with a hunger to get his first tattoo.

He was just about 18 when he sat in the tattoo chair for the first time and got a tattoo of the famous painting, The Creation of Adam, by Michelangelo. He said:

"I got The Creation of Adam just because... I grew up Catholic, and The Creation of Adam was always one of my favorite stories, you could say."

Hacker got his second tattoo of a Japanese saying the same day. He had the phrase "menacing" tattooed in Japanese on his inner forearm as a reference to an anime show called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure."

One of His Tattoos Is in Honor of His Buddy Who Passed Away

Hacker waited a year before he moved his collection of tattoos down to his hand. The first piece he had tattooed was three swords representing his mother, brother, and father. Although the piece had sentimental meaning, Hacker revealed that his mother was not a fan of his ink.

His father and mother had tattoos, and although she had one on her ankle, Hacker revealed that his mother was not a fan of his tattoos because she still saw him as her baby.

He got his second tattoo on his hand in honor of his late friend from high school. Hacker got his friend's initials, "VB," followed by the number 16, which was the number his friend wore. Hacker said:

"That one definitely means the most to me. I've been meaning to get this tattoo for a while, but (I) wasn't sure where to get it because I wanted to get it in a place where it stood out, where it can kind of, like, remind me."

Hacker shared that many people assumed he got tattoos because his TikTok audience liked tattoos on men when in reality, he had plans of getting tattoos from a young age.

The Gun Tattoo on His Hand Points Towards Him, and There Is a Reason for It

Another one of Hacker's tattoos on his inner forearm is a gun, and he explained that he got the firearm tattooed facing him instead of outward as it symbolized negative events he had experienced.

Without going into great detail, Hacker shared that he had suffered from depression and other experiences along those lines, and its placement served as a reminder of his dark past when he was a kid.

Hacker Is a Big Anime Fan, So He Has Several Anime Tattoos

The TikTok star revealed that he had been watching anime since he was six and had intentions of filling one of his arms with anime-inspired tattoos.

One of his anime tattoos is of his favorite character, Guts, from a Japanese manga called "Berserk." The black-ink tattoo features the fictional character's eyes and the tips of his fringe.

The rest of Hacker's anime tattoos include a "Made in heaven" quote from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," as well as other quotes and symbols.

Vinnie Regrets Getting a Few Tattoos and Would like to Change Them

During his interview, Hacker revealed some tattoos he regretted getting. One, in particular, was a tattoo he had acquired while drunk. He said:

"If I could, I would have been like, 'Wait a minute, change that tattoo."

Although Hacker did not reveal the tattoo, he explained that it was a tattoo on his thigh and that it was much larger than his other tattoos. He also admitted that he had gotten the tattoo for YouTube content.

However, he said it was worth it, as the YouTube video had done well and has contributed to his popularity as a TikTok star like Addison Rae.
