Machine Gun Kelly once got hit by a Double Decker bus in Manchester. It was 7 am in the morning and he was looking for some weed. He saw a guy cross the street looking like he may have some weed. Without thinking he took a step in the street and got hit by a Double Decker bus going on full speed. The windscreen of the bus shattered like spider web and he was knocked down on the street and his clothes were all ripped. He was so messed up that he tried to flee the scene thinking he did a crime. So, he got the Double Decker bus (with a stick figure getting hit by the bus) tattooed on his right rib in the memory of that accident.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8371 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tattoomenow.com\/tattoo-designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/MGK-Tattoo-Double-Decker-Bus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tattoomenow.com\/tattoo-designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/MGK-Tattoo-Double-Decker-Bus.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.tattoomenow.com\/tattoo-designs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/MGK-Tattoo-Double-Decker-Bus-300x252.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span id=\"Banksy_Tattoo\">Banksy Tattoo<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine Gun Kelly is a huge <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Banksy\">Banksy<\/a> fan.
