*Unemployed^

Let’s go through the list, shall we?

• Stalking Cat was a computer programmer before he passed away earlier this year. He was Native American and trying to become closer to his totem animal. Through this, he helped pioneer all types of body modification and holds several Guinness Book Records.
• Erik Sprague, aka Lizard Man, was a former PhD candidate. He has a bachelor’s in philosophy and is a performance artist: both through international side shows and as a music festival host.
• Maria Jose Cristerna aka “La Mujer Vampiro”  (Vampire Woman) is the mother of four children and a fuckin’ lawyer. She started her transformation after getting out of an abusive marriage, and has talked out against domestic violence.
• Rick Genest aka Rico The Zombie is a fucking international model, has more sponsorships than any of us could ever hope, and was featured in Lady Gaga’s Born This Way video. Not bad for a 27-year old former homeless punk, I’d say.

reblogging for the well researched and accurate shut down, good work mate

Forever reblog

This post just reminds me how sad I am that Dennis (aka Stalking Cat) is gone. 

Ok but this doesn’t mean that everyone who covers themselves in tattoos and body mods will get famous and be adored by thousands. Because there are tons of people covered with tats and have extreme body mods and don’t get attention for it and do end up outcasted.
