Rrrarrr! Scary!

I'm just full of posty-goodness tonight, aren't I? More posts than usual today.

So, there's this guy walking around on the street. (A street somewhere, luckily not around me. I think. I hope.)

Here's one picture of him.
And another.

His face and arms are tattooed into fur/scales. (None of that on his face is make-up, it's all tattoos.) See his lip? That's an implant to make him look more cat-like. See all those piercings in his, um, upper-lip area? They're so he can attach whiskers to himself. And don't ask me how this makes him more cat-like, but he has breast/chest implants as well.

So my question is, what in the world does this person do for a living? The only thing I can think of is maybe he works in a circus or a "freak show" (do they even have those anymore?). It'd take quite an open-minded boss to hire him for a regular job...

Wow. I mean, wow.

Actually, and don't ask me how I know...it's one of those random trivia things, I don't believe this particular individual has implants. If I recall correctly, he long ago had an accident...ah, down there...and as such has a hormonal imbalance. Count on me to have knowledge like this...

Not only will I not ask you how you know, I'm ordering you not to tell me. ;)

Doooood! Way intense, way hard core.

As for employment, I'm guessing that this guy could well own his own business (i.e. auto repair shop, record/cd store, tattoo parlor, etc.)...Something where people wouldn't necessarily be put-off/surprised/whatever by his, er, unusual appearance. ::g::

Yeah. I think he'd -have- to own a tattoo parlour. In most places, it's illegal to tattoo on people's faces.

That's true. Funny, I didn't think of him working in a tattoo place... That'd work.

Actually...

I saw this guy on Ripley's Believe It Or Not a few years back.

He goes to some "physical alteration" clinic for the hardware and such. It's all clean and sterile; the guy in charge knows what he's doing.

As for the reasoning, it has something to do with his Native American heritage. Details aren't coming to me, but it brings him closer to... something. I think. Point is, it's his religion.

Third, at least as of the taping of the show, he works... um... I'm not exactly sure, but I do remember seeing him surrounded by circuit-testing equipment, with a breadboard in his hands. Some electrical work or something that refuses to refresh itself. (Error 404: Memory not found...)

The point is, he leads a normal life, at least by economic standards.
