Have you ever met someone who looked a certain way and made you jump to conclusions about their character? Unfortunately, that appears to be the case for Richard Huff, a 51-year-old father who has over 240 tattoos on his body. Despite being a kind and doting husband and father, he is often heavily criticized for his “scary” appearance. Many people have taken one look at his tattoos and assumed the worst. He and his family remind everyone of the old saying: Don’t judge a book by its cover.
The Amazing Dad With More Than 240 Tattoos
Richard’s tattoos are a form of self-expression, and he has been collecting them for years. He says that his face and 85% of his body are now covered in them. He has plans, he says, to eventually be 100% covered. Though he admits that tattoos became an addiction for him, he has no regrets – and neither does his family. His wife and children all support and defend his decision to get tattoos, stating that they love him just the way he is. (1)
However, this hasn’t stopped others from labeling Richard a ‘horrible’ father simply because of his tattoos. These critics believe that his tattoos make him an unsuitable role model for his children and that he is setting a bad example by having so many tattoos. Many assume that, because of his appearance, he couldn’t also be a good father and husband at the same time. (2)
