Here are a few sick full body tattoos::
These two cats turned themselves into… well… cats
This is a guy who has spent the last who knows how many years trying
to turn himself into a cat… Everything from facial implants, nails
and tattoos, this fool has done. I gotta say, he may have met that goal. I see kitty cat when I look at the pics of him.
He even has the cats eye contacts. At least I hope those are contacts. The puffy cheeks,
maybe he could have done without those, but the rest sure does look sick.
His name is Dennis and originally he was a
San Diego computer programmer. Dennis has spent an estimated 100k+ on
tattoos and plastic surgery to turn himself into a “tiger” or
cat creature.
Dennis Smith is tattooed from head to toe
with orange and black stripes and his teeth have been filed to needle
point. He has also had latex whiskers implanted and surgery to his lips
so he has a permanent snarl. He now wants a surgeon to graft tiger fur
on to his skin, like a perma-wig.
His fingernails have been sh aped to resemble claws or sharp talons and his hands have
tattooed markings like a tiger’s paws. He says he feels like a tiger and most of us will agree that he looks like one as well.
and I do have to agree that the claw like teeth are also a great touch::
Speaking of sick cat tatts, here is another.
Katzen::
Katzen the tiger lady, is the name of a heavily modified female performing artist, whose full body tattoo theme is that of a tiger.
Katzen is a regular at many tattoo conventions and has done many
pictures and interviews with another performer known as Enigma.
Together they are quite a couple, both tattooed head to toe in themes.
Katzen is the only woman in history with a full body theme tattoo,
well that is what Wikipedia says at least. Katzen is the German plural
for cats, and the cat or tiger theme is easily the first thing anyone
would think of when looking at her..
Katzen received extensive tattooing on all parts of her body and
wears tiger whiskers attached via piercings on her face. She was at one
time married to a male performer named ” The Enigma”, with whom she
collaborated in a musical show team called “The Human Marvels”, and with whom she bore one daughter.
Here is part of an interview with the Tiger Lady… Katzen from a
tattoo convention in Huoston almost 10 years ago. She has obviously
made tattooo her lifes work from many years back and long before
tattoos were as much accepted and as trendy as they are today.
Katzen, artistic and a performer at heart, started out as a street
performer in Florida. Katzen even did of some of the really wild
performing arts such as fire eating… The tattoos may be an extension of
her performing spirit.
KATZEN:
It started really young - before I was five years old.
I can’t exactly place it. I just saw myself with markings. I didn’t
know about tattooing then. It is something whimsical when I see myself
in the dreams. In the dreams I felt strong, independent and happy. I
wanted to recapture that feeling, and later on in life I thought the
best way to do that would be with tattooing.
When I started out I was actually a street performer
for two years in Key West, Florida, before I even got into tattooing. I
was a contortionist and fire eater and juggler. I really love doing
contortionism, like putting myself in a box, the human pretzel, or
putting my body through the head of a tennis racket. Rhythm and dance
influenced my show as well. I was only fourteen when I began the street
shows.
I own a tattoo shop in Austin, Texas. It’s called
“Incredible Ink.” I have two partners there. It’s a custom shop where
we draw whatever the customer requests. We have a lot of appointments.
I’ve encountered a few people who want to get facial tattoos and
some people have approached me about doing the work. I have done some
facial tattooing in my shop. Once,
I worked on a guy named Larry. We call him “Leopard Larry.” He has
colorless leopard spots. I worked on his face after another artist
tattooed his neck up to the ears.I told him there was no turning back
once his entire neck was covered.I could see that he was totally
committed to the tattooing.So I designed and inked his entire face.
There is the first man who is covered with leopard
spots. He’s the Leopard Man on the Isle of Skye. He’s tattooed from
head to toe with leopard spots. The work is rather colorful. I failed
to meet him - we keep missing him. We heard stories like: he lives in a
cave, and trains big cats. I don’t know how social he is. There a re
very few pictures of him.
When I was first getting tattooed, I never thought I
would own a shop. I was looking forward to getting tattooed and being a
performer. I have a lot of creative energy and the
ambition to make it happen. I think the real turning point was meeting
The Enigma, because then I found someone else who was in the same
mental frame I was. Art is one percent inspiration and 99 percent
perspicuition. I try to step up to the plate, put passion and integrity
into my life, to perform without bounds.
In The Enigma I found a person who had the same goals
in life and the same ambition behind those goals to make something
amazing happen. It was the right timing - becoming the tattooed couple.
Many doors have opened up as a result of tattooing. We have met so many
grand tattoo artists, musicians, and those who are not like other folk.
I look forward to seeing more interesting characters as our work takes
us around the world. I rarely meet someone with such a bad attitude
that it makes me wish I wasn’t doing this. I want to concentrate more
on our show , putting more practice and musical energy into it.
My
tattoos have taught me patience.Great things bloom sometimes late, for
those with patience to wait. A new pitch: A tumult of creative juices
are erupting in the inner sanctum of The Enigma & Katzen’s heads.
Monsters,comics,and TV fed kids are growing up,they’re turning pro!
Performing in a town or TV near you soon! Pop culture seems to be
bending and swaying in the gentle breezes of modern media. Now, the
dark waters of taboo tattoo arts have become a teeming, bulging stream
that is nourishing Pop culture.Where will it take us?
Katzen’s daughter now lives with Katzen’s mother. Katzen now works at at a tattoo shop in Austin, Texas.
Although she is the only single-themed tattooed female in world history, she has never been listed by Guinness World Records.
