Meet Rick.
He's turning himself into a zombie. So far, more than 24 hours of
tattoos --costing over $4,075 Canadian dollars-- have got him halfway
there and made him a minor celebrity on the internet, where people can’t
decide if he’s a body modification visionary or mentally ill sicko.
Dennis Avner: Catman
Dennis Avner,
also known by "Catman" or his native american name of "Stalking Cat",
undergone incredible extensive surgery in order to look like his totem
animal, the tiger. Modifications include extensive tattooing,
transdermal implants to allow whiskers to be worn, subdermal implants to
change the shape of the face and the filing and shaping of the teeth to
make them look more like a tiger's.
Julia Gnuse: The Illustrated Lady
Julia Gnuse, also
known as the illustrated lady, was born with a condition called
porphyria which causes her skin to blister regularly and ultimately
scar.
In order to cover this up she started getting tattoos applied over the
affected areas. After 10 years she was covered in the bastards and holds
the Guinness Record for being the most tattooed woman in the world.
Tom Leppard: The Leopard Man
Formerly considered by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the world's most tattooed man, Tom Leppard,
now 73 years old, fled society years ago after spending £5,500 to have
his body covered in leopard-like spots.
He lived in a small cabin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Once every
week, the ex-soldier travelled by canoe to buy supplies and pick up his
pension.
However, in 2008 he moved into a small house on Skye after a friend
offered to move him by boat. "I'm getting too old for that kind of
life," he said.
Eric Sprague: The Lizardman
Born Eric Sprague in 1972, the Lizardman
was one of the first people to have a split tongue and in some circles
is seen to be wholly responsible for the recent popularity of this
particular modification. This 37 year old man has transformed himself
into a reptile via 700 hours of tattooing, five Teflon horns implanted
beneath the skin of his eyebrows, filing down of his teeth into sharp
fangs, bifurcation of his tongue, and stretching of his septum and
earlobes.
Horace Ridler: The Zebra Man
A professional freak and sideshow performer, Horace Ridler
exhibited himself as The Great Omi or The Zebra Man.
Horace was an English aristocrat who returned from the First World War
to Twenties' London where he began his transformation into one of the
world's greatest oddities.
Tattooed from head to foot in black and white stripes, he became Omni -
the Zebra Man.
As the years wore on the Omi’s appearance became more and more
outrageous as did his personality. He took to wearing lipstick and nail
polish and signed his pitch cards, ‘the Barbaric Beauty’. Despite his
appearance, “underneath it all, I’m just an ordinary man,” he insisted
shortly before his death in 1969.
Lucky Diamond Rich: World's Most Tattooed Person
The ultimate in multi-layered tattooing is represented by the chainsaw juggling, unicycling, sword-swallowing Lucky Diamond Rich
from Australia, who has spent over 1,000 hours having his body modified
by hundreds of tattoo artists.
He began by having a full collection of colourful designs from around
the world tattooed over his entire body. But not content with stopping
there, Lucky next opted for a 100% covering of black ink, including
eyelids, the delicate skin between the toes, down into the ears, and
even his gums. He is now being tattooed with white designs on top of the
black, and coloured designs on top of the white!
He is now, officially, the world's most tattooed person, having a full
body coverage.
Elaine Davidson: World's Most Pierced Woman
Elaine Davidson
is the World's Most Pierced Woman, according to the Guinness World
Records. When examined by a Guinness official in May 2000, Davidson had
462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone. Performing at the Edinburgh
Festival in 2005, the Guardian reported that she now had 3,950 body
piercings. She has more piercings in her genitalia than in any other
part of the body - 500 in all, externally and internally. The total
weight of her jewelry is estimated to be about 3 kilograms. As of May
2008, Davidson's piercings total 5,920. As of Feb. 2009 her piercings
total 6,005.
Paul Lawrence: The Enigma
You've probably heard about The Enigma. Paul Lawrence
is the guy with blue puzzle pieces tattooed all over his body who has
made a name for himself performing stunts such as sword swallowing,
pushing a moving power drill up his nose and swallowing various liquids,
pumping them out of his stomach and swallowing them again. The Enigma
is also an accomplished musician.
Tiger Lady: Enigma's ex-wife
The Tiger Lady is the
stage name of the heavily modified female performance artist and tattoo
artist Katzen, whose full body tattoo theme is that of a tiger.
She received extensive tattooing on all parts of her body and wears
tiger whiskers attached via piercings on her face. She was once married
to "The Enigma". They got divorced and now she works at a tattoo shop in
Austin, Texas.
Etienne Dumont: Living art
Etienne Dumont
is an art & culture critic for a newspaper in Geneva who just
happens to be covered head to toe in some of the most vibrant tattoos
ever mande.
He also has silicon implants under the skin which give the horned
appearance, 2.7 inch rings in each earlobe and plexiglass piercings
through the nose and under his bottom lip.
And he claims to wear his tattoos like art.
The Tentacle Man
This unknown brazilian man shows some heavy tentacle suction-cup implants, done by Dark Freak at Luck All in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
