A tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting ink, dyes, and/or pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to form a design. The art of making tattoos is tattooing (Wikipeadia).

Below are some World’s most tattooed people.

1.Rick Genest

Better known as  Skullboy, or Zombie Boy, Rick Genest is a famous actor, musician and fashion model from Montreal, Canada. He used to be an ordinary man years ago, before he was diagnosed with brain cancer. His tattoos are not random, they are intended to look like a real skeleton. Although this may look scary for someone, his unusual body print has actually help him build a stunning career: he is always a desired guest at different fashion shows, music videos and even movies.

2. Julia Gnuse

Julia Gnuse, known worldwide as The Illustrated Lady, is the most tattooed woman in the world: 95 percent of her body is covered with the colorful  portraits of her famous actors, musicians and even cartoon characters. Originally it was not really Julia’s choice to cover all her body, including the face, with numerous tattoos, she was forced to do so by the circumstances. When she was 35 she was diagnosed with an unusual and very cruel illness, porphyria: her skin painfully suffered from the sunlight, was all covered in blisters which then turned into huge scars.

3. Lucky Diamond Rich

Gregory Paul Mclaren, who was born in New Zealand, famous under the nickname Lucky Diamond Rich, is doubtlessly the world’s most tattooed man. His entire body, including the insides of his ears,  is covered with tattoos. His eyelids are not an exception. His addiction for painting own body started when he was young. At first he used to have colorful images of different designs covering his skin, but for some reason he was not satisfied with the first attempts and later had his entire body covered with black ink.

4. Tom Leppard

Known as the Leopard Man ( and one can clearly see why), Tom Leppard has quite an unusual biography. First of all it is not so easy to believe that this weird and still funny looking man with the leopard pattern all over his body is now 78 and that he was a soldier of the British army. Another unusual fact that makes him different from who we consider normal people is that he had lived on a remote island somewhere in Scotland for over 20 years.

5. Erik Sprague

Believe it or not,Erik Spraque, The Lizardman, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy. He alsoused to apply for PhD years back, before he became what he is now. It is hard to say how he came to the conclusion that he wanted to modify his body like this, it is also not clear why it is exactly a lizard he has been trying to imitate ever since.
