MGK revealed the “torture” he went through for his large blackout tattoo.

The “Bad Things” hitmaker — whose real name is Colson Baker — detailed the painful experience during his Thursday appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” sharing that his goal was to “redesign” his body.

“I’ve realized through research that this is from someone who has extremely high anxiety,” the musician said. “But in my head, it really interested me in redesigning the anatomy.”

“You know the skin is the largest organ that we have,” he continued. “I’ve already had all tattoos since I was 13, my whole body has been covered for a long time, and I just wanted to redesign what the human skin could look like, so I came up with, well I didn’t, but a friend of mine named Roxx came up with this.”

When Hudson asked if it was painful, MGK, 35, said it was the “worst torture I’ve ever experienced.”

“Yeah, I don’t do, like, the going under and numbing and waking up, I don’t do any of that,” he continued, adding that he “had to thug it out.”

“Big mistake, but my morals stand,” he added.

The large blackout piece covers most of the artist’s upper-half, going down his arms, across his chest and down his stomach.

Having already been covered head to toe in artwork, some of his original tattoos still show through the blackened skin — one of them being a piece designed by his now 16-year-old daughter, Casie.

“She did a little tattoo on me, so I kept that on me there,” he said of his eldest daughter, whom he shares with his ex Emma Cannon. He’s also dad to 5-month-old daughter, Saga Blade, whom he welcomed with ex-girlfriend Megan Fox.

The “Emo Girl” artist debuted his new inked-up body with a shocking Instagram post in February.

He later told his fans in his song, “Don’t Let Me Go,” that he decided to tattoo the masterpiece after having a “breakdown.”

“Lately my thoughts eating me alive / laid in the bed thinking maybe the hate’ll finally go away if I’m not alive,” MGK raps at the beginning of the track while playing piano.

“Wish I didn’t listen just like I wish they would understand me one time / I had a breakdown and tatted my entire body except one line / Everything’s just fine.”
