Richard, now 51 years old, wants it to be known that his family is just like any other. However, he has revealed that he faces constant ridicule from strangers online due to his physical appearance.
Reflecting on his journey, Richard shared, “It became an addiction. I started with my legs and worked my way up.”
He disclosed that 85 percent of his body is now covered in tattoos, including his daughter’s lips and their names.
“I aim to be 100% covered in tattoos within the next four years,” Richard shared. “There’s something fascinating about the pain and the artistry of it all.”
However, Richard acknowledged the challenges of having so many tattoos. He revealed that younger children at his children’s school find him intimidating.
His daughter defended him, saying, “They might find it scary, but my dad isn’t scary. He’s just passionate about tattoos.”
Marita, Richard’s wife, confessed that she was initially scared of him. “I judged Richard based on his appearance, but as I got to know him, I realized he’s incredibly kind-hearted,” she admitted.
She frequently expresses how deeply Richard loves her.
Marita, who has three children from previous marriages, often tells people that Richard is more than just a stepfather to her children. She praises him as a devoted spouse and loving parent.
