Teddy Swims knows that all that matters is his family, but getting tattoos dedicated to his loved ones in the future might be difficult.
The Grammy-nominated artist, 33, appeared on Radio Andy and SiriusXM'sThe Julia Cunningham Show in Mayand talked about finding space on his tatted body for new ink inspired by the children he hopes he and his girlfriend Raiche Wright welcome down the line.
In an interview clip shared on Monday, June 1, Swims said "90-something percent" of his body is covered in artwork, which includes a couple of tattoos done in honor of his and Wright's first child, baby boy Rambo.

"I do feel bad if I have a future other kid," he admitted, then added that he'll either cover another tattoo or make room. "I'll just maybe save room for the next 10, 12 kids," he joked, then said he would have 100 children but is letting his partner make the decision on growing their household because she does the "heavy lifting."
Becoming a father has been one of the musician's proudest moments. Last fall he told PEOPLE of his little one, "Man, he's gotten to the place now over the last couple months where he's smiling and laughing and playing now. It's just so wonderful."

However, Swims says getting tattooed isn't as pleasant as it once was. "I want to be done. The older I'm getting, the harder they are to get. Every time I get touched with a needle it sucks."
Throughout his tattoo journey, Swims has endured getting some painful ink.
In a 2024 interview on The Bootleg Kev podcast, he said that his massive back tattoo, which was based on an internet meme, is unfinished because it hurt so bad. "I got another eight hours on that," he said. "I don't know what I was thinking."
Size isn't the only thing Swims is passionate about when it comes to tattoos. In 2025, he showed off some of his ultraviolet tattoos which can only be seen in UV light.
