Keith Gordon spent $22,922 on his incredible tattoo collection, which covers his entire body. Sadly, others do not appreciate his enthusiasm for his body art and in fact, judge him over it too.
Man Claims People Don't Like Him And Call Him Monster Due To His Extreme Tattoos
Dad who has extreme tattoos is used to facing criticism.
Because of his $22,922 collection of body art, Keith Gordon, a.k.a. "Britain's most tattooed dad," is stared at by onlookers in public.
On the way to the school, the 66-year-old from Hornchurch, Essex, encountered stares.
At the Roman Catholic school where his children were enrolled, the parents used to react negatively to his demonic tattoos, which included the word Satan on his eyelid.
Keith told The Sun: “There are three different reactions – the first is being told, ‘Wow, that’s f***ing brilliant’, the second is being totally ignored and the third is really negative.”
“It can range from people staring to being pointed at or laugh at, and then sometimes strangers say things to me too.”
“One woman yelled ‘Satan! Satan!’ while holding her fingers up in the shape of a cross and another said, ‘You look like the devil.’"
Lisa, Keith's own 50-year-old wife of 20 years, refuses to join him when he is exposed to the public.
He admitted: “Lisa doesn’t like my tattoos. She hates them but she accepts they are a part of who I am, even though I’ve been called a monster.”
“But whenever I walk around topless in public Lisa doesn’t want to know me, she walks ahead or behind me, and my family disappears. They hate it but I enjoy it.”
Even during a recent trip to Brighton, Keith—who describes himself as the "coolest guy in Essex"—was asked to leave a store.
Back in August, he said: "I couldn't believe he had the audacity to come up to me and comment on how I looked in front of my kids.”
"It's my body, my choice, and his behavior was discriminatory in all senses of the word.”
"A lot of people look at me aggressively. They look almost saddened and angry but I don't understand why – it's me who's looking like this, not them.”
"This member of staff obviously hates tattoos and has a problem with people who have them and he couldn't control himself – it's disgusting.”
"I was so angry I went home and complained to the supermarket and thankfully they took the responsibility."
Keith has no regrets despite the different reactions he encounters as a result of his tattoos.
Previously, he said: "Part of being different is dealing with negative comments and ignorant people - but overall I love the attention."
