Watch the moment Teddy Swims tattooed Matty McLean!

In a moment that’s as unexpected as it is unforgettable, The Hits radio host Matty McLean received his first-ever tattoo - and the artist behind the needle was none other than soul sensation Teddy Swims.

The spontaneous inking took place just hours before Teddy Swims took the stage at Spark Arena in Auckland on Thursday night as part of his I've Tried Everything But Therapy tour. The tattoo reveal is already live on Instagram, showing Matty beaming with excitement as Teddy adds permanent ink to his skin.

Matty and PJ will be chatted all about the experience on The Hits Drive Show, so make sure to tune in to Matty & PJ - The Podcast for all the behind-the-scenes stories and reactions. 

And of course, if you're dying to see how it all went down, watch the full interview and the tattoo moment above!

This is one for the books: a Grammy-nominated artist giving a Kiwi broadcaster his first tattoo. Only in Aotearoa.
