The Scary Guy got his first tattoo at the age of 30[4] and now has tattoos that cover an estimated 85% of his body. Over the years, his collection has grown as a reflection of his life experiences. They are what he calls, 'modern tribalism', reflecting on various emotional events. One of these is a tattoo of a man called "Yuppiecide", a representation of his former self. Scary Guy's other tattoos represent his love of art and others are chosen simply because The Scary Guy was a computer salesman at one point in his life and they looked "cool".[5]
