Tattoo artist and aspiring influencer ‘Sopas Tattoo Artist’ is tattooing KSI’s name on his own body every day until the YouTube star calls him.
There are die-hard fans, and then there are fans who take their enthusiasm to the extreme. ‘Sopas Tattoo Artist’ is one of the latter, and he’s making sure everyone knows that KSI is his favorite YouTuber.
Although KSI has been hit with heavy criticism due to his song, ‘The Thick of It,’ as well as being involved with controversial lunch kit Lunchly, this doesn’t matter to Sopas, who wants nothing more than a phone call with his internet-famous idol.
Sopas is tattooing KSI’s name on his body every single day until the YouTuber calls him — and he won’t accept anything less than that.

KSI even messaged him back in September, urging the artist to stop his wild crusade in a series of DMs on X. “Bro, please stop,” he wrote. “I’ve messaged you, you can stop now.”
However, that isn’t good enough for Sopas. “It should be a good thing, right?” he said in a YouTube video. “No, guys. …he hasn’t called me yet. I don’t know what to do.”
At the time of writing, Sopas has tattooed KSI’s name on his body 161 times, still awaiting a phone call from the British YouTuber and holding true to his word… even if his family isn’t a fan of his latest endeavor.

“My family doesn’t really support this,” Sopas said. “But at the same time, it’s my body, it’s my choice. I do what I want to do. And at the end of the day, they know and I know that if I’m gonna regret this in the future, or if there are some problems, I will have to deal with that on my own.”
Dexerto reached out to Sopas to ask why he is doing all this, but he is keeping it under wraps.
“The best way I can explain is like this – The reason why I’m doing this I can’t share it online because it’s very personal and I don’t want the internet to know and honestly if I shared it KSI would have called me a long time ago,” Sopas said.
“What I can say is that it would mean the world to get this phone call with KSI, I’ve tried everything to get a phone call with him including 190 permanent tattoos and a tattoo of his name on my forehead, that might sound crazy but it’s worth it because my reason makes it worth it.”
Ironically, Sopas isn’t the only person to have undertaken such a challenge. In 2023, a TikToker went viral for tattooing MrBeast’s name on himself until the YouTuber noticed him. And in February 2024, a Kai Cenat superfan tattooed the streamer’s baby photo on her face — much to the internet’s horror.
