Since beginning his transformation in 2009, Quest Gulliford has spent over $70,000 on extreme tattoos and body modifications. He has shared a before-and-after photo showcasing his dramatic makeover.
After surviving Hodgkin’s lymphoma in seventh grade, Gulliford immediately got a tattoo to honor his battle.
The designs, featuring the words “God First” and a purple cancer ribbon, marked the beginning of his ongoing tattoo journey, one that has continued ever since.
Gulliford shared with the Daily Mail, “I had a large lymph node growing. It took six months of chemotherapy.
After that, I felt like a superhuman.” With about $70,000 invested in tattoos and body modifications covering his entire body, Quest Gulliford also chronicles his journey on TikTok, where he has over 1 million followers.

Three years ago, Gulliford, known as @guestg.tv on TikTok, opened up to his loyal followers about his eye tattoo experience. He now frequently responds to questions about the procedure.
He had the surgery in Houston, where ink was injected to tint his eyelids black. Describing the sensation, he explained, “It’s more of an injection or modification… not exactly like a tattoo on your skin.”
“It took me a long time actually on the day, once I walked into the shop in Houston, Texas, to even psych myself up to get it done.”
Addict with extreme tattoos posts before and after photos
Recently, Quest Gulliford shared several photos documenting his entire tattoo journey. The video, blending still images and footage, highlights his transformation from 2009 to 2019.
In early photos, before his tattoos, there are just a few on his chest. As time passes, his tattoos become progressively bolder and more intricate, eventually covering nearly every inch of his body in ink, showcasing his dramatic transformation over the years.
“I had cancer when I was twelve, but I have no idea whether that has anything to do with my love of tattoos,” Gulliford explained in a separate video. “I got bullied a lot in high school as well, especially when I had cancer and my hair was falling out.
