In this next episode, I'm sitting down with the lovely Mika Inc. And if you've seen him on any social campaigns or across any social media platforms, you'll know that he's got a lot to show. Let's sit down and discuss everything with him. Okay, welcome back to King Perks Podcast. I am joined by the lovely Mika Inc. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Nice to see you, you two, and nice to see all of your amazing tattoos as well. Oh, I thought I'd show them off. We arranged to catch up because I've been following you for a little bit now, and I'm following this podcast to see where kinks take people.
SPEAKER_01Uh what, if you had to describe what your kink was, what is your kink? How long do we have? My main kinks, if I need to list them, I suppose, are chastity, body modification, everything.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And how how do you use that? How did you find your way into that world?
SPEAKER_00Um publicly, I think. Uh first tattoos.
SPEAKER_01Um I had come to London over 10 years ago now, started doing some internships uh for work for kind of what I do day to day. Met a few guys, they happened to be into the kink scene. I I I knew I was kinky, but I had I'd never I'd never explored events or parties or clubs or anything like that. Um so I met a few guys, they took me and kind of fell in love with the rest of the stream. And did you have like a first thing that like first kink or did it kind of all just explode all at the same time? Um that's a bit of a hard one. I suppose the first thing I got into was Pop play. Yeah, with a man, with a hood and everything, which I still have very cute. Uh which is where the nickname Nico comes from, and pop meiko. Uh and that was I although I don't necessarily pop out in the in more, I still fully, you know, champion it because I thought it was such a brilliant kind of entry kink for me, certainly. Yeah, some people may think an entry kink to to to mean it at all. Um, but for me it was a really nice way to come into the scene. It felt softer rather than being asleep or a boy or something. Yeah, for me it was a really nice way to kind of use and interestingly, I think we we interviewed with Pap uh Bruno earlier today. Do you find he we were saying about how kings integrate so quickly and how like obviously you're saying you're a pup first, and then do you find like a king quote kind of embraces you and then you just find your own journey through it? Or like do you if you're a pup, do you then automatically kind of go into the rubber scene and the leather scene? And not necessarily. I mean, I the the king scene quit in London. That's the king scene I know. Yeah, yeah. I I traveled a lot and see a lot of international scenes, but certainly in London you get as much outfit as you put in. Um so no, I don't think just because you're up here it's automatically in the leather scene. Yeah, whatever, I think you can explore. They cross over really well as well, don't they? There's so much crossover from pup play. I've got a pup tattoo fed into my tattoo fetish. Um I've always loved tattoos, and then realizing how much of a fetish it is that suddenly being branded as a pup, but you know, it all starts to then snowball. When did the chastity come into it? How long ago did that start? Um that must have been probably about five, six years ago now. Um, which is funny because I would before that I would would never have touched chastity. I would have said absolutely not, no way, not bucking me up. Yeah. Not interesting. How did that even happen? How did that come about? Um a really good friend of mine um on the leather theme, we had a vegan, and we built a little game uh for body marks, um, whether shaving your head, or you know, um uh being drawn up with a sharpie or had a thick and hope, a two that we used.
SPEAKER_00So the idea was you would kind of spin a wheel over time, you kind of get what you get.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And one of the things on there was was a week in chastity. Uh so that was my first week in chastity, really doing it properly following it. Um and I I got it hooked from then, I guess. How long's it been? So you're in Chastity now today. How long has it been in this chastity? So I've been locked in this period since last April. Wow. So almost permanent. Permanent 24 seven. 247. Um, so the exceptions um are well, not an exception, but I I unlock every two weeks to clean. Yeah. So it has an unlock window. Yeah. So every Sunday for a couple of hours I have access to that box while it's cleaning. Um I do a full clean uh obviously for hygiene and check if skin's okay, and uh no hard skin, nothing feeling a bit irritated or not, so I get to do a full clean. And I do I don't just clean uh every two weeks, I clean fucking cat through the cage. It's quite handy. I work in the 3D Viper. Um there's a lot of space in the cage and Q tip in there, and did it take a lot of getting used to for you, like obviously to be in it for so long now. Did it take a long time for it? Um yeah, yeah, it always builds up. Uh it takes a while. The biggest thing people struggle with, I think, is sleeping in it. Yeah. I have been very fortunate, I've never had an issue overnight in it. And it's still still because I'm getting used to it, but a lot of people wake up and are sore or really comfortable in the middle of the night. And is this a choice uh for yourself or does somebody else own the chassis or uh somebody else has a key, yeah. Um in terms of actual locking, I very much see it that he's mine, he's a friend. Yeah, I've been currently locked before, I've been owned before, my gate's been owned in various different capacities. And my previous dynamic ultimately uh due to just being long distance. Um this friend of mine saw that how much I missed custody. Yeah, uh, so a kind of long long story short from that, but clearly back into that. So hand over the keys, and it kind of went from there. So yeah, but I just have done dynamics. Do you have any complications from it? As long as you do the upkeep and things like that, is the uh yeah. If you're not careful with your hygiene, uh for example, if I'm if I'm cleaning and I get hard, uh of course it goes up, and um if I try and put the cage back on too soon, I can end up with my forescreen being a bit swollen or things like that. So you do need to be careful, but no, generally no complications. Um I have a really good communication with my key holder, so if the skin's a bit irritated or whatever, I can unlock outside of the city. Yeah. If there's an emergency, which thankfully I've not had, I can I can have access if when I need it, which isn't it. Of course, exactly. For safety and for comfort, and as well, you know, I I fly with it on, uh, I do everything with it on. Other people prepared not to do that, or for various reasons can't do that. So, yeah. When you say it's live, do you have to then explain when you're going through um it's shown up once, I think, on a full-body scanner, uh which proceeded to a very funny interactive. Can you please remove your belt? If you don't have a belt button, or something showing up on the scanner, can you definitely don't have a belt on it? So the waistbanders are absolutely not have a belt on it. And then they just gave me a very annoying look and carry on. So they obviously knew what it was. So they knew there's yeah, something's right as desktop. Yeah, you don't want to have to embrace, but generally it is plastic, and the PA lock that I use is the same material as piercings, yeah. Or it's um and generally with the scanners as I understand it, it's about the density of metal, yeah, which is why I built up set off, for example, or a phone, whereas like a wedding ring or a piercing.
SPEAKER_02So it's not enough metal in the rock to actually this journey gonna be? How long have you got an end date, or is this just are you trying to get to a specific point?
SPEAKER_01No end date. Um there's a goal of crossing here, yeah. Uh which I think won't be April. Uh big achievement for myself, but no, there's no end date. I'll celebrate that year next year. Probably doing another year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It really intrigues me. And that obviously intrigues a lot of people. I mean, a lot of interactions on questions for you and how it interacts in your everyday life. And like obviously you're just saying, you just go about your everyday life. It doesn't it doesn't bother me. I mean, occasionally in a yoga class, something like a place, uh, which is awkward, but it's nothing nothing I've had to excuse myself from a class for whatever it's doesn't obviously affect your work, it doesn't affect anything in your everyday life. It doesn't affect anything. Um initially getting used to it, obviously I was very horny, and that's not very distracting. Uh, but I've been in it so long now, it's just it's so fun. Uh it's not a problem. Yeah, it's just become every day. It's become everyday uh the routine offer uh with home life, and even if I'm just going to the gym or swimming, like it's just it's just a part of it, and I and I don't necessarily hide it either. I don't hide it at the gym as I know in the locker room or anything. But uh no, never. Um I don't particularly show off, but neither do I either. Yeah. Um I kind of rationale that if anybody in the gym is seeing it and looking, they're probably gay themselves and they're carrying something. And all the straight boys are either looking and are a bit curious. The last thing they want to do is say anything, or they're not looking. Most people in fact don't even notice it, uh, don't even acknowledge. And I think because it's all normal for me, I don't walk around trying to hide anything, and I think doing that draws attention to what you know. Yeah, yeah. By just being open with it, it actually raises even less suspicion and not be really concerned. And you've done some amazing collabs with some lots and lots of people. Is there anybody in particular that stands out as a as a favourite? I know you can't name a specific favourite, but is there anybody that you've worked with that you think, wow, I'd really like to work with MC? Uh I mean to be honest, I'm very lucky. Most people I've been with, I would kind of finish and say it went right too.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, I think uh most recently uh as uh honestly that box Inklad. I put you on the side. I'm trying to remember his handle now. Uh that was a brilliant connection with the leather and the tattoos, and yeah, that was just a really really nice. And on the same subject, have you got anybody that you really really want to do at that point? Um again to get so many people. Um probably again, meaning in the tattoos, um Ink Berlin. Um very lovely uh guy based in Berlin. Uh we've been chatting for a long time and just never found a good moment. Uh mostly because I'm in Berlin getting tattooed. Yeah. So it's never the most practical uh lab. But uh uh that would that would be really fun. He's a lovely guy, so we need to get data. So he lets me in this is what you put. And obviously, anybody that comes forward, I bet you get inundated all the time with people wanting to go back as well. Yeah, what's what's lovely is there's a whole community in it. Yeah, who who film my partner films as well. Yeah, so it's really that's talking with a lot of friends who a lot of people who are friends that have become really good friends. Actually, it's just kind of you know one thing.
SPEAKER_02I think one thing that we've all of all the interviews I've done, one thing that is fine in the king card is that everybody becomes really good friends, it's a really good community, and obviously that's not the case all the time, but in general, people have made lifelong friends out of the kinks they've got, or even in kinks that they didn't have, or that they're not necessarily into they're still really good friends with other people.
SPEAKER_01I think that's really important. Absolutely, and I think you you're laying yourself so fair and vulnerable in a way, yeah. With consent and with safety measures, of course, that's the big thing, but nonetheless, you're in some quite compromising, vulnerable positions, and I think that almost breaks down every other social barrier, so then you end up with these really, really close, kind of lifelong friends. Um definitely I think most of them are most of my friends now, my close friends are all the king's boots, um, for sure for that reason because we just we share so much in that in that sense. And that's what people I feel my people who don't sell them at all. That's it's kind of universal. Yeah. And have you is there anything that you haven't tried that you really want to try?
SPEAKER_00Is there a king out there that you think I I want to I don't know, but I won't really want to try it? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01That that's maybe the hardest question. Sorry, I'm good with these high. I don't know if there's anything that I haven't tried. I mean, certainly I want to do more of certain things. Um I want to do more kind of body modification that I have not chosen. I've done a bit of that, obviously, but I love. And what is that is then that so I get tattoos that I've not chosen myself, somebody else chooses a form. Um that's really really good fun. It could be anything. Uh there's certain limits, yeah. Nothing offensive. Yeah. Uh nothing offensive, generally no kind of symbols. Uh obviously symbols could be uh used by lots of different people out of lots of different backgrounds. So I do build some limitations in, you know, I'm not gonna fit something back on forehead for that ball. But no, yeah, it it's good fun. I I've done it with people I really trust who understand uh my life in the kink world and outside of it, so I trust them to fit something suitable. I mean it's still it's still fetish-based. I mean, obey on my stomach was chosen for me in a way. Um the blackout, the crosses of my back, a lot of that was chosen for me. My my gagged boy on my leg. Uh I gave a very open brief. That's what the tattoo artist uh came up with, and I just said yes, there were no things. So not a lot, a lot of the work I have is in somewhere in a fire, chosen by someone else. And are you planning on going to any events this year? Um I'll be at Falton. Yeah. Um Falton Berlin this year. Um September time? September, yeah, early September. Not doing darklands. Not doing darkland this year, no. I uh I did it last year, and it's nice, I find, to give these things a break. Yeah. And then you kind of really appreciate it. It's nice to then go back. Equally on the event side, do you find living in the city you go out a lot more to the fetish events, or the fetish events here still I know they're break here, but like do you still try and give yourself a break as well? So it doesn't involve like um, yeah, I get a bit of a mix. I tend to go out more socially, um so I don't feel I need the same break from from the scene here. Yeah. Um certainly like weekends like Darklings are very intense. Yeah. Um but no, I I most often go to Hunter Electric. Uh really important. Uh really social and that's mainly why I go. It's very social for kinks, dark rooms, of course. The fun is still there for sure. Um but no, I do try and go out as much as possible with the kink scene in London. Struggling but also driving in many ways. Uh, I think we're suffering a lot because of venues, so for me it's important to go out and buy and you know, they're they're not going to keep going if we can sit at home and talk to about that. So there are a couple parties that I do try and always go to. Uh we stop it. And they want to support us as well at the end of the day, as King says they want to support us and they need our support to survive, and I think that's important, isn't it? Absolutely, yeah. And and just getting that atmosphere as well. Yeah. Be surrounded by your your people as well, isn't it? Um, so I've been given some questions from some of my followers that are probably your followers as well. Um so one of them, Put Barkin, wants to know how your amazing uh facity artwork informs people of your kings. Um my tattoo artwork? I assume, yeah, I assume he means your chassity artwork. I assume he means your tattoos. Um I mean my kings are quite blatantly laid out on me. Uh as I think I've got like a boy who has literally taste over his eyebrow with a ball. I've got a padlock on my finger, um, I've got small dick big feelings tattooed above my cage, or they tattooed on me. Yeah, I mean quite blatantly. Which which is nice. Uh I mean I've all of my tattoos are for me for sure. Um I love all of them, as I've just said, I love the process of kind of getting away from control. Um but it's quite nice at events that kind of speeds up the process.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Uh and then we've got Kingston Light, who has asked, what's the motivation behind the permanent lock?
SPEAKER_01And how do you manage the comfort and audience? We've kind of touched on that a little bit anyway, but so what's your motivation behind the permanent lock? I the pool, the it's kind of personal call I've set myself. Uh I really enjoy it. I really love the focus it gives me. Um I can kind of zone into being submissive much more readily. Uh feeling warm up and be in a particular mood, but it it makes me feel naturally more submissive than I already am. Um so yeah, no, I the motivation was just like in a personal goal in a way. Um and yeah, I'm loving it the closer get to working. Do you know people that are in your circles or outer circles that have been locked as long or longer? Uh quite a few friends have been locked longer. Huge inspiration. Does that make a paper competition as well? No, I think if you look at that the other competition, yeah, it doesn't really help. Uh although it's a bit of a kind of contradiction in terms, although I'm clocking here, I don't count the days. Yeah. So my key holder knows exactly what date in April. I just know if right now in April. Um and for me, not counting, not going on on day jumping, whatever, that doesn't help me.
SPEAKER_00The physical clocking off it it brings it to the front of my mind and I can go back if I want to do something I forget.
SPEAKER_01Um so what I've agreed with my key holder is that he will take me out for a drink of water past the year mark, and it will almost be a surprise of I know it's coming at some point, but I honestly I can't remember the date. And I I think that really helps me. And I think trying to compare yourself makes it harder. The other part of that question in terms of the hornings, it can be very horny. It can be very horny to do the put a tweet out and go like this, you know, one light equals however many hours retweet means this much. And and I get that for some people, Castro's all about working, not about doing more about doing three months because somebody else told it.
SPEAKER_00For me, uh it doesn't engage me in the same way.
SPEAKER_01Uh so I try not to do it. Is it difficult talking about holding it to then stop yourself getting around? Or is it just become like kind of norm? Kind of just all recording. Um yeah, I mean there's certainly an element of it. Um if I'm if I'm having fun, if I'm doing filming, or just or just have a having a session with no cameras, you know, I do need to stop myself sometimes. I can feel better when I get closer and closer to that thing, uh, which I don't feel like that. But you could still do that in the chassis. I could cut in the chastity, yeah, but I choose not to. Yeah, so I think since April I've come twice. Um so I that's something I do try and really stop.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Uh whether I'm filming myself.
SPEAKER_01Um so yeah, I don't try and stop being horny, but I mean, certainly with like first traps on all the socials, they're not they engage much faster than they might otherwise. I think you're following. I mean, you've set the some of the posts you put out there with your body being an artwork and having the chance to see it's like you've kind of got a very strong image, which is amazing, and that like you see it shared a lot, and I understand why brands want to work with you, and I understand why you look so good in sportswear or leatherwear or rubber or nothing. It's like it it works really well. So it's a credit to you, really yes. Thank you. No, I mean nothing's definitely my my favorite. That's the the typhoons have become like you're anyway, they've they've become better. And that's you you don't need to work out if you're wearing the right fit, and I think that's a strong statement to make. And like you said, when you meet somebody, that statement's kind of being made before they've really met you, which is a very strong bold move to make. I think what you're doing feels good, sir. Yeah, but it's been an absolute pleasure to meet you, and hopefully, we'll have at some point at Hunter or somewhere. I've not experienced London nightlife, so I need to do that at some point.
SPEAKER_02I will come down and get out of my boring countryside life, but I will come down, but it's been an absolute pleasure, and obviously, people watching, we will uh be catching up again at some point with lots more questions. Excellent. Thank you very much. Cheers. In this next episode, I'm sitting down with the lovely Mika Inc. Now, if you've seen him on any social campaigns or across any social media platforms.
