Some
of the people you are about to see will leave you wondering if they
still have any trace of humanity left in them. Animals, if they had any
sense of reason would prefer to be human yet, some humans don’t think
they look good in human form and so prefer to modify their bodies to
look like Animals of their choice. Others, prefer to pierce every patch
of skin while others adorn theirs with tattoos. In short, the people
below range from the bizarre to the ridiculous to unimaginable.
1. Rick The Zombie Boy: The
27 year old Canadian artist and fashion model Rick Genest is also known
as Zombie Boy for being tattooed like a corpse across the majority of
his body. 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.
2. Dennis Avner The Catman: 54
year old Dennis Avner, also known by “Catman” or his native american
name of “Stalking Cat”, has undergone incredible extensive surgery in
order to look like his totem animal, the tiger. Modifications include
extensive tattooing, trans-dermal implants to allow whiskers to be worn,
sub-dermal implants to change the shape of the face and the filing and
shaping of the teeth to make them look more like tiger’s. He currently
holds the world record for the most body modifications.
3. Julia Gnuse The Illustrated Lady: 53
year old Julia Gnuse, also known as the illustrated lady, developed a
condition called porphyria in her mid 30′s causing her skin to blister
regularly and ultimately scar. In order to cover this up, she started
getting tattoos applied over the affected areas. After about 13 years,
she has covered over 95% of her body, and holds the Guinness Record for
being the most tattooed woman in the world. NB: the tattoos are purely
aesthetic and have not in any way helped with the blistering.
4. Tom Leppard The Leopard Man: Formerly
the worlds most tattooed man, Tom Leppard now 76 years old is known
worldwide as the Leopardman. He fled society years ago after spending
£5,500 to have his body covered in leopard-like spots. Until 2008, He
lived in a small cabin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. He now spends the
rest of his life solitarily in a terraced house on Broadford, scotland.
5. Erik Sprague The Lizard Man: 40
year old Erik Sprague is the Lizardman. He 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.
He 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, stretching of his
septum and earlobes, and recently, green-inked lips. There have been
rumors of him hoping to get a tail transplant, however those have been
debunked because according to Erik himself, it would be impossible.
6. 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.
7. 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. The 41 year old 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.
8. Elaine Davidson World’s Most Pierced Woman: Elaine
Davidson is the World’s Most Pierced Woman, according to the Guinness
World Records. Today, she has over 7000 piercings and the total weight
of her jewelry is estimated to be about 3 kilograms.
9. Tiger Lady, Enigma’s ex-wife: The
Tiger Lady is the stage name of the heavily modified female German
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 Houston, Texas.
10. Kala Kawai The Horned Man: Kala
