In a new social media post, Remy responded to a fan who had commented "Gotta enjoy the pain" by explaining exactly how he gets through the many inking sessions he's had.

"For me, it's much less about enjoying pain and more about just being indifferent to pain," explained Remy. "For me, it's like, yeah, pain is just the cost of admission for pretty much anything you want in life."

"Anything good in life is going to cost you some discomfort. Just get good at that, you know, just get good at paying that price, and you'll be much better off," Remy said.

"It's the same thing, like, if you wanna do pretty much anything in life at all there's going to be some discomfort, whether it be tattoos or anything else, you're gonna have to get indifferent to the pain along the way."
