I first met Penguin Boy when I worked at Art With A Pulse in Glen Burnie, MD. The shop owner bet me he could do a full sleeve from scratch in less than an hour on a client of his….I fell for it, he won the bet.
Since then Penguin Boy (Jason Brott) has made quite a name for himself in the sideshow world travelling with the Hellzapoppin Sideshow.
Here he is doing a 2 point suspension as photographed by our very own Allen Falkner.
One more after the break.
If you want to know more about the World Famous Penguin Boy, leave some comments here and I will see if he is interested in doing an interview for BME.

Erik, can i send you some questions on IAM, or would something different be better for you?
Anyways, This is so interesting. I had never heard of him before, which is odd considering this community. I love how differently human bodies can end up. I wish our culture accepted it as our community does.

What qualifies him for an interview is neither his modifications, nor his condition alone. It is how he is utilizing both of them to pursue a career in the sideshow business. The modern sideshow contains mostly “self made freaks”, but historically sideshows were filled with “born freaks”. Laws were passed in some areas and the public decided that is was in poor taste to “exploit” the born freaks, and the sideshow mostly died off until Jim Rose brought it back with a crew of made freaks.
Penguin Boy is pulling together the made freak and born freak sides of things and THAT is what qualifies him as a worthy interview for BMEzine.

Sean (@31) – no argument on Jason’s qualifications but your (alleged) sideshow history there needs a lot of tuning up

@Lizardman I am just going off what I have read over the years, and I am definitely in no position to argue sideshow with someone who has dedicated there life to it. Feel free to point out the flaws in my statement.
