Gregory Paul McLaren (born 1971)[source?], who uses the name Lucky Diamond Rich, is a New Zealand performance artist, street performer and international arts festival performer. He does sword swallowing and juggles on a unicycle.
The Guinness World Records has said he is "the world's most tattooed person" since 2006. Tom Leppard, from England, was the most tattooed person before him.[1][2]
Inspiration and first tattoo
He read about and became interested in the most tattooed men and women when he was a young boy. His first tattoo is of a small juggling club, on his hip.[3][3]
All of him is tattooed, including the insides of his eyelids, mouth, ears and foreskin. Some of his black tattoos has tattooed with white or colour.[4] His tattoos have been drawn on him for more than a thousand hours combined by hundreds of tattoo artists.[1]
