I always love that so many tattooed people say they felt more themselves with each tattoo. It’s so true!! Like every time I get more and more ink done and cover my body I feel more empowered and true to myself. This version of me has always existed in my head and he slowly comes to life with each new piece.
7:10 "looking one way and being another way" that was a huge part of what got me started getting pierced and tattooed. I felt that duty to show people you can't judge someone based off of how they look. It almost acts as a filter sometimes bringing those with open minds close and keeping those without away.
Sometimes I read ignorant comments on RU-vid from men saying tattoos are "gross" and they'd never be with someone who had tattoos. I hesitated with getting my own and thought wait- I don't want to be involved with they kind of ppl that think that way so it's a perfect deterrent lol
Teddy we hear your heart, your so real, honest loyal, such a genuine, Beautiful person, we need more Teddy Swims in the world, we are blessed in having you in our world xx
I found this interview so interesting. I have followed Teddy Swims since he had 4 covers up on RU-vid and I am a super fan. His voice and songs really speak to me and help me with my PTSD and the loss of my second husband, my savior, my rock and my extreme grief I have felt for 5 long years living without him. Some of his original songs like amazing use exact words my 2nd husband said to me almost daily and never before and never again has a man ever said that too me I love you Teddy Swims. You have helped my mental health more than you will ever know. Thank you.
Teddy it's so nice to hear you talk about your inspirations as a kiddo growing up. Listening to talk your such a Joyful person. Personally I see how you are such a wonderful soul. I think whoever can't see your wonderful personality and soul is not your loss it's theirs. Everyone should never judge anyone by the way they look only by the way they are. Teddy love your soul love your music and I also love how your band and crew are your friends and how you treat them like Family because they are to you. All the best to you and your band. You deserve all of this. Have fun with it Stay safe love to all of you. 🥰🥰🥰💞
Teddy this is such a wonderful interview you have been like a jigsaw i couldn't quite see who you are until now. All your music and talent make sense now. Great interview
I love this! ❤️ Every word he said is wonderful! I couldn’t agree more about having a lot of tattoos, especially face, neck, hands and showing people what it looks like to be heavily tattooed and be a good person! I don’t have any face tattoos but my husband does not like hand tattoos. I did get letters on my knuckles but aside from that won’t tattoo my hands any further….. unless he dies first and in that case I’m covering my hands and his ashes are going in the ink! 😆
He's such a sweetheart! I can relate to remember being a kid n wanting to have alot of tattoos. Hope to someday find my tattooed up sweetheart! Now I'm gonna have to find Teddy's music!!
When I thought you couldn't get cooler, you got cooler. I had loads of tattoos done way before I probably should have, I have since had them covered, with some really good Japanese art, by an amazing artist from England, called Arran Burton.
I lovvvveee teddy swims an all his tattoos I want to get so much more then I have tattoos are like a story of your life I don't regret any of them because it was what was going on in my life at that time..
There are whole generations of people who should be thanking Al Green...I truly believe if let's stay together was never written probably 3/4 of the world's population wouldn't be here...fact!!!
