Many of Stalking Cat's body modifications were performed by Arizona-based artist Steve Haworth. The first artist to begin the extensive tattoo work on Stalking Cat's face was Larry Hanks in San Diego, California, who started the work in 1985.He had over 14 modifications, including:
Extensive tattooing, including facial tattooing
Facial subdermal implants to change the shape of his brow, forehead, and the bridge of his nose
Flattening his nose, via septum relocation
Silicone injection in his lips, cheeks, chin, and other parts of his face Bifurcating (splitting) his upper lip
Filing and capping his teeth Surgically shaping his ears, making his ears pointed and his earlobes elongated
Surgical hairline modification
Piercing his upper lip and transdermal implants on his forehead, to facilitate wearing whiskers
Wearing green contact lenses with slit irises
Wearing a robotic tail
Future modification plans included a plan for implants on top of his head, for mounting tiger-like ears.

Re: It freaks me out
I wonder if these people actually work for a living . I know I sound biased but I'm not sure I would employ someone who's face was tattooed. We have a local who's neck and face is all colours . Words such as hate across his forehead . I dont believe he has worked for a living so he must live freely on benefits as hes not homeless .It looks awful

Re: It freaks me out
I don't think all these people have a mental disorder, some maybe. But I would employ someone who looked like that if he/she had the right attitude and qualifications for the job. However I would not have them serving the public for obvious reasons, but behind the scenes, or a factory I see no reason why not.13-10-2020, 11:36 AM

Would you make them strip at the interview to find if they had any tattoos?I don't like them, so have never had one, but I know people who do have tattoos & they are very nice people!

Which makes me wonder where the money comes from to pay for all these awful facial alterations. They can't be cheap.

Re: It freaks me out
Personally i really dont like piercings and tattoos and thats not me being judgemental its just my right to have an opinion.I have a young friend who has face piercings and loads of tattoos and they look awful to me but I accept who she is and she's a lovely young woman.
Some people are doing it for the shock factor. I remember my son wanting his eyebrow pierced and I said no, he was 15, but he went and had it done anyway, he was a defiant teenager. So, instead of me going mad with him I pretended it looked good and I thought itvwas OK, I was using reverse psychology and it worked well, he took it out after less than a week.
I'm happy to say he didnt get tattoos or anymore piercings.
If i had a child who wanted to do the extreme with piercings and tattoos while I couldnt stop them id rather they didn't, tattoos are permanent body markings that can't just be rubbed out if they no longer like them. At least piercings can be removed.
Someone mentioned those massive ear lobe piercings, i find them repulsive and not understanding why people want to mutilate their perfect bodies.
