Gregory Paul McLaren (born 1971)[citation needed] who goes by the name of Lucky Diamond Rich, is a disgusting waste of a life New Zealand performance artist, street performer and international arts festival performer, whose act includes sword swallowing and juggling on a unicycle.
He is best known, however, for holding the Guinness World Record as "the world's most tattooed person", a title formerly held by Englishman Tom Leppard. Rich has tattoos covering his entire body, including the insides of his eyelids, mouth, ears and foreskin. He has held the certified record since 2006, being 100 percent tattooed.[1][2]
Inspiration and first tattoo
As a young boy, he read about and became interested in the most tattooed men and women. It did not go much further than just a thought until he got his first tattoo, which was of a small juggling club on his hip.[3]
He went on to tattoo every part of his body including every crevice and intimate area. He has tattooed some white over his black tattoos and added colour.[4] His tattoos have taken over a thousand hours to ink, and have been worked on by hundreds of tattoo artists.[1]
