Machine Gun Kelly is sinking his teeth into a brand new style — literally. The 34-year-old musician unveiled a jaw-dropping addition to his ever-evolving aesthetic: a set of sharp, pointy fangs. This latest transition was shared with his fans in a series of Instagram posts that left little to the imagination but plenty to talk about.

On Monday, July 15, Kelly, who goes by the name MGK, gave his followers a close-up of his fierce new look along with a peek at two massive raven tattoos on his neck. "🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ with the blessing of Odin," he captioned the snaps, crediting tattoo artist Codey Doran for the ink.

The footage showcases Kelly's updated dental work, which includes elongated canines and a set of new sparkly tooth gems. "The fangs are looking 🔥!" commented Dr. Dani B, the cosmetic dentist who created the fangs. "Might need em sharpened," the rapper replied.

Dr. Dani B re-shared Kelly's post on his own Instagram page and wrote, "I'm not sure how it happened, but @machinegunkelly finally convinced me to give him the vampire fangs he has wanted."

Fans raced to the "Bloody Valentine" singer's page, unleashing a torrent of oohs and ahhs.

"I'm sorry the FANGS🔥🤍 that moment when vampire diaries and your mgk obsession collide," one person swooned.

"The Edward Cullen in me is screaming," remarked another.

"Lord. The eyes, the fangs, the neck tat, the hair line 🤌🏻 😩," a third gushed.

But Kelly's new look didn't just draw admiration — it also had some fans scratching their heads, puzzled by the dramatic change.

"Ok I love him but why is he trying to stay a teenager instead of aging gracefully... the dude is 34 with a money piece and diamond studs on his teeth l," read a top comment, while another person quipped, "Look like he's about to steal 100 Dalmatians." One fan even asked, "Those fangs are just temporary, right??"

Kelly is no stranger to shock value — or dabbling in the dark and unusual. He once wore a vial of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Megan Fox's blood. Last Valentine's Day, he posted a series of photos on Instagram, one of which was captioned "I wear your blood around my neck," featuring a necklace with an orb filled with a drop of red.
