10 most tattooed people on the planet

In the modern world, having one or even several tattoos on the body has long ceased to be something out of the ordinary, but some people want to stand out so much that they “clog” completely.

It is noteworthy that the application of dozens of tattoos in 90% of cases is accompanied by other modifications: an abundance of piercings, a bifurcation of the tongue, subcutaneous implants, etc.

Today, in another selection of amazing people, we will tell (and of course show) the most tattooed women and men the world has ever seen.

10 Maria Jose Cristerna (Vampire Woman)

Mexican Maria Jose Cristerna is now over 40 years old, and most of her life she walks in the form of a vampire. P

having tried and not appreciating married life at the age of 17, the girl decided to start expressing herself: to apply a tattoo, a bunch of piercings, skull implants, extended fangs and huge tunnels in her ears.

Having spent a lot of time and money, the woman achieved her goal: now she is so alone in the whole wide world, so there is a lot of attention to her.

Despite all her extravagance, she is a happy mother of 4 children, and also has a law degree. True, she did not succeed in working in her specialty because of her extraordinary appearance.

9. Tom Leppard – Leopard Man

Tom Leppard for some time was officially considered the most tattooed person on the planet, and later – the most tattooed pensioner.

Despite the desire to be like a leopard, Tom himself always claimed that he had no spiritual or other connection with this animal, and he chose this style of tattoo solely because he wanted to make it easier for tattoo artists.

Leopard Man passed away in 2016 at the age of 80 after spending the last years of his life in a nursing home.

8. Tommy Wells is the most tattooed man in the UK

This man “hammered” for 52 years, visiting the tattoo parlor at different intervals.

According to him, he always wanted to completely cover himself with tattoos, but his wife kept him from this. “She was my voice of reason,” says Tommy Wills. After his wife passed away, nothing could hold him back and he hit hard, bringing the number of tattoos on his body to an incredible number of 1.

The drawings on the body do not have any single plot: it is a hodgepodge of skulls, names of relatives, knives, flowers and other things.

7. Etienne Dumont – “monster with glasses”

Dumont was born on June 27, 1948 and from childhood gravitated toward art, so he decided to become an art critic, and then a critic. He made his first tattoo in 1979, and after that he could not stop.

In total, 95% of his body is covered: only the eyelids, palms, feet and genitals remained intact. Etienne’s “chip”, in addition to modifications, is round glasses, sometimes without glasses and “acid” color.

6. Gregory Paul McLaren aka Lucky Diamond Rich

Lucky Diamond Rich is the same person who took Tom Leppard’s record for the number of tattoos. Everything is “clogged” with him, including the genitals, ears, eyelids and even the oral cavity.

When there was no more room on the body for new drawings, Gregory Paul McLaren began to apply them with a second layer, covering dark tattoos with light ones, and also adding color to black and white pictures.

5. Rick Genest – “Zombie Fight”

Zombie-boy made his first tattoo at the age of 15, after which he began to apply dozens of them. On his body there were more than 130 bone drawings, and more than 170 insects, and for each of the points he was included in the Guinness Book of Records.

Popularity came to him after his fan page was created on Facebook and they began to actively subscribe to it, which allowed Rick to attract attention.

He was noticed by the fashion director of Lady Gaga, who pushed him to several fashion shows and in the singer’s video. On August 1, 2018, Rick Genest passed away; according to the official version, he committed suicide at the age of 32.

4.

Michelle cannot be called the most tattooed woman on the planet: there is quite a lot of free space on her body, and the modifications on her body are not as radical as those of others, but this did not prevent her from becoming famous all over the world.

The main reason is not even in tattoos and nude photo shoots, but in an affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James. The already popular tattoo model, on the wave of hype, she soared to an unprecedented height, and is not going to go down yet.

3. Julia Gnuse – girl with porphyria

And this lady, unlike the “Bomb” McGee, is really the most tattooed woman on the planet: her body was “clogged” by 95%. After 30 years, she fell ill with porphyria (a disease in which blisters form on the skin from the sun), she tried to hide the scars with drawings, and when it didn’t work out, she decided to get so many tattoos that people simply didn’t pay attention to the scars when they saw them.

The Illustrated Lady, as she was called in the press, passed away in 2016.

2. Denis Avner – Catman

A programmer by trade, Denis Avner has done his best to resemble the cat, which was the totem animal of his Lakota and Huron ancestors.

He himself did not even know how much money he spent on it, but some independent estimates called amounts in excess of half a million dollars.

He passed away in 2012, and although the cause of death was not officially disclosed, most sources support the version of suicide.

1. Erik Sprague – Lizard Man

Eric, despite his youth (he was born in 1972, much later than many of the heroes of the rating), is considered the founder of body modding ideas.

For example, he is the first who dared to sharpen his teeth, making them look like the sharp teeth of a lizard. Later, he also cut his tongue, added silicone implants to his eyebrows, and covered his entire body with a pattern of scales (although there are other tattoos).

He earns a living by performing, but he does not just demonstrate himself, but puts on a whole show with swallowing swords, fire, and other dangerous tricks.

He also has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, so there is always something to talk about with him and during his speeches he jokes quite well.
