Very cool. I can’t get over how vivid the colors are in the second link. I wonder if he has to get them touched up a lot to prevent fading?

Wow! I think he looks amazing, and good for him on doing that later in life, as a fulfillment and not just cause it’s rebellious and “cool”. He really wears it well, though I don’t see how he could stand the pain of it on tender facial skin.

Hey, I know that guy!

Well, I’ve interacted with him before, anyway. It’s a good thing that he doesn’t mind people staring, because it’s really, really hard not to.
