When Quest Gulliford was only 12, he beat Hodgkin’s cancer. This was a big turning point in his life. After six months of chemotherapy, he came out of it with a fresh strength.
Gulliford got his first tattoo, which was the words “God First” and a purple cancer ribbon to remember his experience. This was the start of a crazy trip that lasted more than ten years and cost Gulliford more than $70,000 in tattoos and body modifications.
The tattoos that cover Gulliford’s body from head to toe make it look like a work of art. A before-and-after movie that went viral on TikTok and earned him over 1 million followers shows how much he has changed.
There have been some tough spots on Gulliford’s path. He was picked on in high school, especially while he was getting treatment for cancer. But he has used those problems to make himself stronger.
His eye tattoo is one of the most bold changes he has made to himself. While Gulliford was in Houston for surgery, ink was injected into his eyes to make them black. He says it feels more like getting a shot than getting a tattoo.
Gulliford talks about his life and replies to questions about his tattoos on his TikTok account, @guestg.tv. Many people find inspiration in his story, which shows how important it is to be strong and present yourself.
His unwavering spirit is shown by how Gulliford has changed. From beating cancer to becoming a tattoo icon, his story is an inspiring one of overcoming hardship and accepting one’s own uniqueness.
