Midnight Thomas Musto: the First and Only Child of Blackbear (Singer)
A fresh look at Midnight Thomas Musto: the First and Only Child of Blackbear (Singer), offering readers critical context.
Matthew Tyler Musto, or ‘Blackbear,’ Midnight Thomas Musto’s father, discusses his tattoos with ‘GQ.’ He began tattooing from his sleeves when he was 14-15. On his left arm, he got his first tattoo, which was a flying pig, which he felt was awesome. When asked how many tattoos he had, he responded he doesn’t know, but it’s probably in the hundreds. When it began to move in his hands and neck, he lost his count. His favorite items are a T-Mobile Sidekick, the Punk rock band Alkaline Trio logo, and matching tattoos inscribed ‘Shitbag’ with his four buddies, all on his right sleeve.

Every tattoo, he believes, has a narrative to tell, which is why he enjoys them. Kelly from ‘Teen Hearts Tattoos,’ who has done everything from his neck down, is his favorite tattoo artist. On his 27th birthday, he made a 27 grave by himself and scrawled ‘Help’ three times on his left sleeve. Other tattoos include “Blackbear” on his fingers, “Mom” and “Dad” on both hands, and so on. Blackbear said that he had pancreatitis surgery owing to severe drinking, which resulted in a horrifying three months in the hospital, and that he then stopped drinking and has been sober for three years.
