i personally could not imagine living my whole life like that. but as art, all of his tattoos are gorgeous.
Today boys and girls, the Peter Pan preschool would like to introduce your new teacher … Skullboy!
Nice. I love how the rest of his head was tattooed.
Can we please interview skullboy and get some more pics?
COOL COOL COOL IT LOOKS BRILYANT THE NECK AND BRAIN TATTOO ALL SO IF PEOPLE GET FREAKED OUT THATS THERE PROBLEM THIS GUY DID THIS FOR HIM SELF TO MAKE HIM HAPPY THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ ONE MOR OF MY COMEMNTS BME MOD BLOG KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FROM BOB FOX
he’s so cute. look’s like a x-ray, thought
HOT.
Wow…and I thought his tattooing was intense before.
This guy is seriously my hero.
And for anyone that’s all “I can’t imagine walking around like that”, it’s b/c you haven’t yet figured out that it’s not what you have tattooed on you [or where], it’s how you wear them. That’s a bit of advice I got from Enigma. You wouldn’t believe the way people reacted to him in the grocery store…’cos, y’know, the blue puzzle-piece guy with horns doesn’t eat spaghetti and meatballs like everyone else, he eats babies.
wow simply amazing! i loved this first time i saw it but i agree its looks far better now with the rest done and being slightly faded… if my face turns out half as good when i get to that stage with my ink i would be well chuffed! top work 🙂
I think that this boy doesn’t have great balls but only a small brain or a lot of problems to live in this reality..I want to know what he fuck do in a pair of years or what kind of fucking girls he can find..But the world is so beautiful with poor freak like him! Sparatevi un po meno trip e un pò piu di fica ragà che forse è meglio…sennò resta sempre la mescalina!!!
OI fuck ya your tat’s fuckign rock ..
well rock on and cheers
Wow. What an amazingly pretty, erm, zombie!
When I first saw the original (freshly inked) photos of this fella I thought it was a pile o poo; I felt sorry for the poor guy in a ‘what the hell have you done to yourself, you silly fucker?!’ kind of a way. But now that he’s put it into context with the neck & scalp & now that it’s faded down a bit he just looks incredible.
Wonder if he had an ‘Ohmegawd, what have I done?’ moment at any point while it was still fresh? Wonder if the tattooist had any moments of doubt? Maybe he keeps the facial piercings to eccentuate the whole skull/flesh thing going on? When & how did the idea come to him? How long did he think about it before he commited himself to being unable to ever blend into a crowd again? There are so many questions that come to mind just from looking at this man; he must make people ask themselves questions every day of his life.
Questions are good. Zombie rocks!
How does this poor fellow get a job in normal society??
who the fuck wants a normal job in a normal society, society is not normal.
I love this.
Fuck society.
Society is sick, not him.
Loving the bone hand as well =]
This man is awesome; he’s more comfortable with himself than 100% of all the penpushers out there.
this guy has life figured out.
Well, i think everyone should learn the valuable lesson that is evident here…
When he first posted the picture of just his skull face, people were saying he is going to kill himself and he was a loser and so forth.
Now we see him actually taking this idea further and getting the full body work, and suddenly everyone’s opinion has changed drastically, saying it looks amazing etc etc
In life people are going to try and sway your ideas and beliefs, but if you are a real man, you will keep doing what you believe in, and through that persistence eventually people will have to come around and take their hats off to you, and not the other way round…
this is fuckin amazing. i would never tattoo my face but thats unbelievble. this is tattooing. i think an old lady will faint before asking him something. id love to read an interview w/ this guy.
haha im friends with him his name is rick .
i used to see him at pops and le roc all the time.
Awesome! Wish I had noticed this before!
OMG^^ these tatooes are great! 😀
I SEE THIS GUY IN THE METRO OF MONTREAL SHHHIITT HE IS SIIIICCKK
wow, it looks better now. The other pictures I have seen were always front and center and it looked kinda flat, but from these angles it looks really good
ha found you on the net,the weed was great and arch enemy was awesome. The tat’s look sweet, later
wow, that tattoo artist must have been amazin,,,
thats so impressive
personally wudnt get it down…must have hurt so much wen he had it done around the eyes 🙁
omg cant believe how detailed it is…looks good
He has some serious issues. I’m betting that he’s going to regret this for the rest of his life. I doubt even lasers can remove them. The only job he can get now is as a circus freak.
I have been obssessed with this guy ever since I saw the first picture. I can’t stop thinking about how my life would change if I did something like that. And I have a small tattoo on the side of my neck along with plenty others elsewhere so I know some of it, but cannot begin to imagine the extent of what it would be like to live with a tattooed mask every day. Now that I see these photos, I really really like all of his work… The neck, the brain, the sleave… I would go out on a limb and say that I would get about all of that done. But I don’t know if I would ever have the balls to do the face part. It’s strange how that changes the game for him, and for everyone he encounters. Because as anyone with a tattoo can tell you, after it heals, you don’t feel all that different. After a while you might forget a tattoo is there aside from the obvious visible reminder. So I can’t stop wondering what it would be like to have healed, and feel normal again, but have most the world look at you like youre nuts. I wish I could live a day in his shoes and look in the mirror. I want to meet this guy and I wish I could wrap my head around it and it’s making me want to get some kind of crazy leatherface face tattoo or something just to know what it’s like. If only you could do such a thing and go back. I will stick to tattooing everything that’s not my face. Right on to this guy.
i am so in love with this.
i keep seeing more and more pictures of it and liking it more each time.

Is it me or does the guy wearing the G.B.H tshirt look a tad like Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters?
im covered in tattoos from chest and both arms right down to my foot. but personally i think this is a bit much, clearly its gonna look stupid as he gets older, surely im not alone in thinking this
Fuck this dudes awesome – I’m covered with tats and getting my face covered this summer
the work on this dudes neck is awesome to
I like the artistic merit. Wait until he gets old and wrinkly, much hilarity will ensue. Ever seen a melting zombie? You will.
so fucking well done
and so fucking attractive
right on zombie! your inkworks anything but fugly; dude its fuckin awesome! I’m 32 & I got my face heavily covered with some awesome inkwork 10 years ago; I planned it out realising it will be a complete change in how I live my life, and it has been just that. I made the right decision for myself and the experience has given me satisfaction that I never would have had if I never had it done because I was worried about getting a job or what people will think; fuck ‘em all!
its rily pretty.. does it rily matter about all d extra stuff, just see d art for what it is, ART.. i do like in in colored pictures, but d black and white pics r nice too..
