\nThe old adage goes, \u201cDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover,\u201d but it never hurts to be reminded. Judging a parent solely on the basis of their appearance can be extremely unfair if they do not fit the stereotypical profile of a parent.\n
People told him he was a bad dad because of the tattoos on his face. Then his wife let slip some news that caught everyone off guard.\n
Self-expression is a cornerstone of individuality. Tattoos are a great form of self-expression since they allow individuals to visually represent who they are.\n
\n
Richard Huff, 51, also uses tattoos as a form of self-expression; he counts more than 240 tattoos on his body.\n
The ink addict and his wife are raising five children. His wife frequently shares content on social media featuring him and his children, much to the chagrin of the internet at large.\n
Huff, now 51 years old, wants it to be known that his family is \u201cno different\u201d from any other. However, he has revealed that total strangers constantly make fun of him online due to his physical characteristics.\n
He explained how he got his start. \u201cIt became an addiction, I started with my legs and worked my way up,\u201d Huff explained.\n
\n
He said that at this point, tattoos covered 85 percent of his body. His daughter\u2019s lips and their names are among the tattoos he has.\n
\u201cI want to be 100% covered in tattoos probably within the next four years,\u201d shared Richard. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the pain or the artwork that you put on you, but it just becomes fascinating when you\u2019re able to do this.\u201d\n
Having so many tattoos, he said, has its own challenges. He revealed that the youngsters at his children\u2019s school considered him terrifying.\n
In her own words, his daughter has said, \u201cThey say, \u2019ah it\u2019s a bit scary\u2019 and I say \u2019no, my dad is not scary, he is good with tattoos.\u2019\u201d\n
Marita, Richard\u2019s wife, admitted that she, too, was terrified of him. She admitted, \u201cI 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.\u201d\n
She writes frequently about how her hubby loves her as no one else ever has.\n
She constantly extols his virtues, praising him as a doting spouse and caring parent.\n
\n
Marita has three children from prior marriages, and she has told people that Richard is much more than a true father to his children.\n
When asked about his involvement in the community, Richard said, \u201cI participate in the PTA, I go to all my kids\u2019 functions.\u201d\n
People continue to criticize him, though, despite widespread knowledge of his kind nature.\n
In response to his facial tattoos, one user wrote, \u201cI\u2019m not against tattoos, but I mean honestly, does he really need tattoos on his face like that?\u201d\n
However, Richard is not the only one who has supporters. \u201cEveryone keeps talking about his face tattoo. He likes it. He got it. He\u2019s a good father. Let him be.\u201d\n
\n
Richard has addressed the criticism, saying, \u201cIf somebody can make negative comments like that, there\u2019s something wrong with them themselves that they would have to judge somebody else.\u201d Adding, \u201cThis is what we did and we\u2019re happy. We\u2019ve been together six years our kids are happy and to us, that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d\n
Richard continues by saying that he loves his family no matter how much they hate him or how much he hates them. \u201cHaving tattoos does not scare my children, it does not make me a bad father, it makes my kids get a different perspective on life,\u201d he said.\n
Here\u2019s how he looked like before all the tattoos, and some people can\u2019t believe it\u2019s the same person!\n
Richard Huff appears to be a nice husband and father who is greatly loved by his family.\n
You can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, and he\u2019s living proof of that!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
