Looks like a fine upstanding citizen. He is probably a white collar professional.

Needs to fill in those white squares on his face with little penises to signify the massive amount of faggotry it took to get that many tattoos.

Amazing coincidence that so many of you know him personally and can attest to his character.

98%, huh?

Who measured the un-inked area to work out the math on that one?

I PAID FOR MY TATTOOING!
I worked my ass off for 17 straight fucking years to do this! I suffered every obstacle imaginable to do this, while keeping a regular job and paying full price for my tattoos.
The other full body pattern tattoos did not pay for their tattoos.
.....

I paid $65 thousand dollars, and 17 years of my life! It was worth it.
The pain from healing is worse than the tattooing. I spent 11 years of spending 10 months healing from tattooing on 3-5 different spots on my body at the same time.

Tattoo healing is like healing from a burn, or being a burn victim in my case. Skin area healing after skin area, only to be lacerated again later on. Most of my skin has been tattooed 3-7 layers deep. Parts of my back and right arm may have over 7 layers of tattooing. The skin is full of mutated tissue that resembles a healed burn in texture. Most of my skin now has a texture to it.

"The most painful part was paying for the tattooing! I worked my ass off! Never took a day off. Never took a vacation in the entire time. 11 years alone, in New Orleans. Not a single day off.

Spending $5-7,000.00 a year on tattoos for almost 2 decades was how I paid for this project. I lived in poverty, focused on this project above anything else. This meant keeping a shitty job, and living in the filth that is New Orleans for 11 years. It meant 5 years in Arizona.

I lived in places, and worked jobs I hated, all to give %40 of my income all on the tattooing. No Disneyland. No vacations in Hawaii. no car! No nice life. No expensive social life. I had to live cheap.
Paying my rent, and my tattoo artists month, after month, without fail was all my life was about.

Every extra penny I got went to the project. Tax refunds. Inheritances. Bonus money from work. All my overtime. Never bought new clothes except shoes. Tiny 1 room apartments. Used furniture.

I was 35 when finally got my first 1 bedroom apartment. I had lived in tiny studio apartments since age 16. Usually alone. Sex is cheap. Relationships are expensive!$!$!$!#$!@%&*"

Evidently he couldn't come up with any real accomplishments in life so he just decided to scribble all over himself.

Saw this guy on Fox news the other day. He had ink injected into his fucking eyes. To each his own, but this seems just a tad excessive.

I met him. He was a part of the Tattoo show at the Art Museum. We put on a pretty cool show with contortionists, fire dancers, trapeze artists and some girls that do a dance hanging from the ceiling on silk sheets. I'll never forget the show. They gave me three days to design, build and install four freestanding stripper poles. Two of which spun. At least it gives me something interesting to talk about when people ask me what I do.

Can you imagine that guy working as a loan officer at an upscale bank? I just got a mental picture of him in a suit and tie sitting behind a hardwood desk with a little, green banker's lamp on it.

Gone said birth defects that left some of his muscles underdeveloped
inspired him to start tattooing his body nearly 20 years ago as a means
to disguise his deformities

Who am I to judge the guy?

He went through all that trouble and couldn't think of anything more creative for his head than a checkerboard pattern? Lame.

Probably, but I bet spends a lot of time talking about his tattoos. He sure pigeon-holed himself with regards to career choices. There aren't that many employers that'll hire someone who looks like they were set on fire and put out with a copy machine.
