Pretty wicked full body tattoo - these people went on a life's quest to turn themselves into something else, some look like cats and others have different themes, but they all achieved a a very unique look and well... fame from the tattoo work covering the entire bodies...

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 shaped 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.
