Don’t
judge a book by its cover is an old saying, but it never hurts to be reminded
of it.
If a parent does not fit the usual mold
of a parent, judging them simply on their appearance might be very unjust.
The tattoos on his face led others to
accuse him of being a horrible father. His wife then revealed some unexpected
information, which shocked everyone. Read on to find out more…
One
of the pillars of individuality is self-expression. Since they allow people to
express themselves visually, tattoos are a fantastic way of self-expression.
Richard
Huff, 51, has over 240 tattoos on his body and utilizes them as a means of
self-expression.
The
ink junkie is raising five kids with his wife. To the dismay of the internet at
large, his wife routinely posts on social media with him and his kids in it.
The
51-year-old Huff wants people to know that his family is “no different” from
any other. But he has admitted that complete strangers regularly ridicule him
online because of his appearance.
He
described his beginnings. “It became an addiction, I started with my legs
and worked my way up,” Huff said.
He
said that 85 percent of his body was now covered in tattoos. Among his tattoos
are the lips of his daughter and their names.
“I
want to be 100% covered in tattoos probably within the next four
years,” shared Richard. “I don’t know if it’s the pain or the artwork
that you put on you, but it just becomes fascinating when you’re able to do
this.”
He
claimed that having so many tattoos had its own difficulties. He admitted that
the kids at his kids’ school thought he was scary.
In
her own words, his daughter has said, “They say, ’ah it’s a bit scary’ and I
say ’no, my dad is not scary, he is good with tattoos.’”
Marita,
Richard’s wife, admitted that she, too, was terrified of him. She
admitted, “I did judge Richard based on his looks at first but as I got to
know him a little bit, he is actually a big-hearted person.”
She
frequently writes in her blog posts about how much her husband adores her. She
continuously praises his qualities, calling him a devoted husband and loving
father.
Marita
has revealed to others that Richard is much more than a true father to his
three children from previous marriages.
Richard
said when questioned about his neighbourhood participation, “I participate
in the PTA, I go to all my kids’ functions.”
Despite
the fact that his kindness is well known, many still criticise him. One user
commented on his facial tattoos and said, “I’m not against tattoos, but I
mean honestly, does he really need tattoos on his face like that?”
However,
Richard is not the only one who has supporters. “Everyone keeps talking
about his face tattoo. He likes it. He got it. He’s a good father. Let him be.”
Richard
responded to the critique by saying, “If somebody can make negative
comments like that, there’s something wrong with them themselves that they
would have to judge somebody else.” Adding, “This is what we did and
we’re happy. We’ve been together six years our kids are happy and to us, that’s
all that matters.”
Richard
goes on to remark that no matter how much his family despises him or how much
he despises them, he still loves them.. “Having tattoos does not scare my
children, it does not make me a bad father, it makes my kids get a different
perspective on life,” he said.
Some
people find it hard to believe this is the same person after seeing him without
all the tattoos!
Richard
Huff appears to be a nice husband and father who is greatly loved by his
family.
You
can’t judge a book by its cover, and he’s living proof of that!
