Matty Healy’s on stage antics continued at a recent The 1975 concert in Kentucky where the frontman got a tattoo in the middle of a performance. The 1975’s “At Their Very Best” tour has featured a pretty chaotic stage design, including a couch that Healy sits on for the shows’ particularly steamy moments. Fan shot footage of the December 16th concert captures the singer lounging on the couch with a cigarette while a tattoo artist adorns his bare chest with the phrase “I’m a man.” Later in the show, a fan apparently received the same tattoo.
