Frackstar,
No,no one has conacted me yet,but the date that i will become THE MOST TATTOOED MAN IN THE WORLD is November the 1st!
This is when the final peice of black will be filled in to make me 100% Black!
I then put the relevent info together for Guinness World Records and then it is up to them if they want to give me the Guinness Tital!
But I do not know whether you know this but,Johnny Fox (King of Sword Swallowing)matched the world record that Count Desmend had for swallowing the most amount of swords and they did not put him in the record books,so it can be a bit political!
I think it was 16 swords that he swallowed on national U.S TV and it was qutie heavily publicied,but no record!
Just for the record,let it be said that I do not need Guinness to be THE MOST TATTOOED MAN IN THE WORLD,as I will be and all that will know me and see me will know that that is a tital that I will have regadless of GWR!
If they give it to me,then Bonus!
But then there is another tecnacality aswell,Frack!
In the contracts that they ask you to sign,there is a clause that states that you are not allowed to use the name Guinness World Records at all unless you have permission from them and and of course wait for it the catch (payment of a fee)
They even charge you for ask a GWR representative to come to witness the record!So it is quite a money making thing for them (GWR)!
It is almsot like they think they are doing you a favour and for this there is a fee or payment!
You can not even mention there name on stage or in publicity or anywere,with out them (GWR)lineing there pockets!
Sounds like the very reason I have never had an agent or a manager,as they famous for lineing there pockets of the talent of artists!
So what do you think,Frack and anyone else out there that has an oppion on this?

Lucky,
You've brought up an important point about awards and recognition and deciding who is the most, or the best, or the biggest, or the fastest etc, etc, etc.
What really matters in any of our endevours is to be the best that we can be and to know within ourselves that we have achieved as much as we can in life.
I spoke about this subject with another performer at a festival with a competition once. I saw this performer doing what was probably the best show of the festival. The performer knew it, the audience knew it, and I knew it. However the judges of the competition didn't seem to realize what they had missed. ( maybe they didn't even watch that show. ) It doesn't matter what the judges said. Everyone who watched that show knew who was the best at the festival and I told her so. The performer was Syrah from Rotterdam at the Oranjeboom Straatfest in 1996.
So go for it Lucky. I know and you know and a lot of other people will know who the MOST TATTOOED MAN IN THE WORLD is.

To all and Rexy-baby,
this whole thing has got me thinking alot,about my motivation!
The thing that I got out of this,is the realisation that,I enjoy being tattooed and wearing my tattoo's with pride and with the respect that they command and have done since my first tattoo 15 years ago!
I was asked alot before I thought about Guinness World Records,if I was the Most tattooed Man In The World,and my response always was,no!
It is not important and never has been my motavation at all,up until 6 months ago!
To be completely honest to all,and to myself it is EGO that even makes me think about it!
I do not like this as,my tattoo's have never been about that for me!
I am going to change my hole approach to this,now as a result of how I feel on the inside about this hole Guinness World Record tital and the GWR Oraganisation!
The organisation GWR give me the vibe in the contracts that they send out to you if you want to break a record,is that of they are doing you a big favour and there is a price to pay for this!
If it was not for the people that are who they are, GWR would not even exsist at all!
They remind me of most agent's and how they play this God role with the fact that if it was not for them,you the Artist would not be were they are today!
Well I will put there contract up on the P-Net ,if people are interested in seeing what it is that has got me thinking alot about all of this,with GWR!
I think it is just standard practise in the entertainment game for most people (agents/promoters/managers)to get as much as they can out of an artist,and exploit there talent,s and them as a person as a whole !
What do you all think.....................
I think I have been working solo ,and manage myself,promote myself and touring myself for too long,i forget what the industry is really like,when others are involved in your journey,that are not atrist's them selves!

True, but we wouldn't get to know who the artists are either! Who's gonna know you exist? You can be the worlds fastest
one-legged egg and spoon sprinter out in Borneo, but I ain't ever gonna know that unless I read about it in the GWR!
One opinion:
The GWR offer a way of getting your skills/record recognised and undisputed very quickly throughout the world. Who else can do that? You could try it yourself of-course, but my god
you've got to go some to reach every corner of the world, and when you get there, convince them you're telling the truth.
You are paying the GWR because they offer an undisputed system, a result. I imagine they pay judges, solicitors (think of the lagalities involved!) publishers, a whole army of people to keep this operation at the TOP of the pile.
If I'd have come up with the idea of forming the GWR - with all the organisation, information collating/verifying, distributing it world wide, AND if it took off and was as well respected, I'd want paying bloody well for it too ! Wouldn't you?
OK, I'd try and avoid the 'god-almighty' attitude, but then you are dealing with pen pushing big business arrogant money making nerds, not artists.
Decide if its worth it. I suspect it probably is, as long as they don't own your ass.Comment

Going into the tattoo chair tomorrow,getting the first White on Black piece,on my chest!
My chest is black and I am getting the head of Jesus,with the rays of light going up my throat and chest and neck in White Ink!
I can not wait!!!!!
For all those that are going to ask if I am a religous man,the answer is no,I am trying my hardest to live a spiritual journey a day at atime!
I just like what Jesus represents,a man that was prepared to die for what he believed....and alot more.
