Here are ten people far weirder than any I've seen ... maybe they're available for sideshow work.

Okay, one of them is Lizardman, but you haven't seen the res, I bet.

I am enriched! Thanks.

Lucky Rich also does sideshow, and about 90% of the rest have less talent than the pilfering mice in my house that take bait without setting off a trap. Take some time and read the comments on the page. I have been a body piercer for 14 years, and there is a line between self expression and what these people have done to themselves. Trust me, they love the attention and hate it at the same time. There is a lot of psychoanalysis to be done with that group. Ignore the "demonic" comments from the Reverend.

It make me very sad and very scared to read so many ignorant comments from those people. They sit in their little worlds with their little lives and judge people they have never met from inside a bubble. They say how messed up those people must be but I would like to ask them all one question. Have you ever seen anyone that looks like them on the news as being found out to be a serial killer, rapist, child molester on MSNBC's To Catch A Preditor, robbing people of their lives by defrauding the company they run ie:ENRON...etc? I just find it very unusual that these people live their lives and don't care if you are tattooed or not, but people without them just love to throw stones. "The mind is like a parachute, for it only functions when open"

CAVEAT LECTOR: I gotta say, I agree with nippulini (just above), but I also read your statement and wanna stand up and cheer.

There has been so much finger-pointing and demonizing throughout our society lately, a big old wave of hatred directed at "those weird evil [fill in the blank]s" that I have to give these people a big pat on the back (at the risk of getting my hand caught on some piercing) and say "at least they're living their own lives and NOT TRYING TO PASS LAWS TO KEEP ANYONE ELSE FROM LIVING THEIRS!"

I feel you brother. I also do agree with Nipp. I myself am heavily tattooed and pierced, but I can cover mine and take the jewelery out when I need to. I perform in the corporate market as well as the freaky market. Last night I performed to 15,000 people at The Opie & Anthony Traveling Virus tour. I was able and encouraged to look as freaky as I wanted to. In fact I got cheers and thunderous applause for talking about a ladies neather region. But, even I know when to turn it on and to tone it down. I am in business, some of which I need to look extreme, but sometimes I need to look "normalish" I personally don't care what someone does or doesn't do to themselves. Unless it is effecting my finacial bottom line they can have a metal mohawk or a suit and tie I could really care less.
