Things can get a little rowdy backstage on tour due to the amount of downtime that artists have after getting to the venue and before their actual performance.
Bailey Zimmerman was a guest on Taste of Country Nights where he told me that he recently got to tattoo someone for the first time in his life — that someone just happened to be his own tattoo artist.
Watch Bailey Zimmerman Tattoo Someone For the First Time
“I tattooed my signature onto my tattoo artist. Shoutout Mike Stoll, he’s my tattoo artist. He tattoos Morgan [Wallen], Hardy…everybody. I met him on the Morgan Wallen tour,” Zimmerman says.

When Did Bailey Zimmerman Give His First Tattoo?
Zimmerman said that Stoll has tattooed him twice and each time he joked to the singer that he needed to tattoo his signature onto him somewhere, but Zimmerman laughed it off.
Until this past time in Ohio on April 16. Stoll was there and said it once again to Zimmerman and he took him up on the offer.
The “Where It Ends” singer says he tattooed his tattoo artist with his tattoo artist’s portable rig. He said, “About 10 minutes before I went on stage, I tattooed my signature on him.”
