Canadian Rick is turning himself into a zombie. So far, more than 24 hours of tattoos have got him halfway there and made him a minor celebrity on the internet, where people can't decide if he's a body modification visionary or mentally ill sicko.
Self-mutilator. He's one of the psychiatrically challenged people whose obsessions and self-harming compulsions get channeled into tats and scars. The admiration of the body-modification "community" feed his need to mutilate himself, but also give him the semblance of a peer group's admiration.
Yea, I somehow doubt he'll be initiating a career in accounting at age 30 or ever.
I, too, have often wondered what folks like this do for a living, besides work in tatoo parlors.
He's got a very cool work of art on his body, but too bad it's permanent. He'll look pretty gross when he's 70+ and is all saggy and wrinkly. That is, if he makes it to 70+
i love tattoos. i think his tattoos are really cool and well done. its art
i think some of you should chill out on him. you've probably done things that not everyone agrees with. but are ur decisions on the web for everyone to criticize? hmmmmm so shut up
I have friends with numerous tattoos who make a very good living (there are more career options in this world besides being a corporate whore). In Portland he would probably be able to find a job somewhere. I commend that he has made his own body an artistic statement. I say kudos to Zombieboy!
this guy is turning himself into art. i love it, some people wont. If he want to go into accounting im sure he'll find a manager somewhere who appreciates his tattoos.
Regarless of your opinion of his decision, could you try to appreciate the quality of the art itself? the idea and the details are really amazing...
and carpe deim people, this guy is living. hes not hurting anyone and a few of us can even see the beauty in it.
This is pretty mental, i mean, the pain that he must have gone thru alone has earned him some serious respect from me and alot of people around the world.
What is it with the ACCOUNTANT thing? seriously? I really doubt someone who wants to show themselves off like that wants a desk job with a massive calculator. This guy could be really skilled at something, he could be an awesome musician for all you know, in which case his tattoos would probs make him more representable to record labels as he is more iconic.
He may well have designed those tattoos himself too, so he could be an awesome artist.
My final point is this, TWENTY FOUR HOURS OF TATTOOS! HOW MUCH DID THAT COST???????
I think he's amazing. He is just as amazing in my eyes as the Enigma, Lizard Man and Leopard Man. Seriously, people who go to this extent are completely and totally heroes in my book. I say, keep going, and I can't wait to see the finished product :)

I think when he's 30 and attempting to initiate his career in accounting he may regret the facial tattoos...
=)
Sicko who will never get a job, sit on the tax payers purse and ends up dead from OD with 29. Plain and simple.

Sad.
He'd likely not be employable anyway.

Mick....
"He's one of the psychiatrically challenged people..." so you're saying only "psychiatrically challenged" people get tattoed?
Perhaps you shouldn't label people based on their looks.
feh
I have a tattoo. Tattoos can be lovely. He's mutilated himself.
Perhaps you shouldn't put your foot in your mouth; that can hurt you.

I think he's pretty cool and avant-garde.
I don't think he will be jobless. There are plenty of people in the world who love zombies.
he could work in the entertainment/video game/art world
I have a crush on this guy!
