PERFORMER BODY MODIFICATION

[LUCKY DIAMOND RICH]

Robin G,
Debbie is absolutely right 100%.The Ink that is used comes as Black,but you have to realise is that there is no such thing!Black is a dark dark dark dark blue or green!Black is a myth.
So really my man,I am totally blue!100%
The pigment that the tattoo ink comes from is from a bark of a tree.
It is not toxic like all other colours that have a metal conponent in it.In lage doses it can lead to toxic poisoning and sometime death.
There have been some cases,and it is not good.
Alot of the tattoo ink suppliers get it approved by a government body and it has to be to a standard,but some companies in the US,not mentioning any names do not fit the approval,but tattooist use it as it is really really bright colours.
Some tattooist would much rather tattoo a really brightly coloured tattoo on there client,rather than think of the health consiquences.
Ask any artist on the planet,ART is a dangerous job and pass time and comes with some huge health issue's!
The Ink that covers my whole boby is non toxic,and I am really heathy anyway,and I have had no illness so far,or side affects.

I hope I have explained a little to answer your question's!It is a huge can of worms that is still waiting to open in the tattoo industry.

7 days till the record is broken!

Well it is done!
I had the the last bit of black done in front of a huge crowd in Milan at the Tattoo Convention,and as far as the tattoo world are concerned I am the The Most Tattooed Man In The World.

I also had a huge white tattoo put on my chest at the convention, and it looks great!
I am putting in my application to Guinness World Records tomorrow and then it is up to the to put me on the record books.
But as alot of performers in the past know,nothing is for certain with Guinness as they have the last say,even if you have broken the record.
So it is up to the Tattoo Gods now to influence the people at Guinness.
Let see what unfolds.
Love to all and will keep you all posted

Lucky,
Congratulations! I hope that Guiness do recognise your achievement- when you think that "Most baked beans eaten off a cocktail stick in one minute" warrants a place, your spot should be guaranteed! Also, if you are entered into the book, does it mean that you can never lose the record? I mean, you're tattooed all over, so it's not as if anyone can have more tats done?
I'll make an effort to get down to Covent and see you one day!

[LUCKY DIAMOND RICH]

AJ,
thanks man,and to answer your Question!I have not met Tom Leppard in person,but we have written to each other!
He does not like to be around people,that much!
I will plan to see him in a weeks time when I go to the Isle Of Sky to see him in person.
I want to meet the man himself ,as he is a true champion!
