Richard got his first tattoo at\u00a0the age of\u00a017. \u201cIt\u00a0became an\u00a0addiction, I\u00a0started with my\u00a0legs and worked my\u00a0way\u00a0up,\u201d he\u00a0said<\/a>. Now, around\u00a085% of\u00a0his body is\u00a0covered in\u00a0ink, including the names of\u00a0his kids<\/a> and his daughter\u2019s lips.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0want to\u00a0be\u00a0100% covered in\u00a0tattoos probably within the next four years,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0<\/a>Richard. \u201cI\u00a0don\u2019t know if\u00a0it\u2019s the\u00a0pain<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0the artwork that you put on\u00a0you, but it\u00a0just becomes fascinating when you\u2019re able to\u00a0do\u00a0this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His tattoos have resulted in\u00a0his children\u2019s friends calling him \u201cscary\u201d.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
