Lucky Diamond Rich, the most tattooed man in the world was mistaken for the Devil while shopping with his girlfriend.
Lucky Diamond Rich, with more than “200%” of his body covered in tattoos, holds the Guinness World Record.
He has the most tattoos on the planet. He did this because he aspired to be included in the famous book.
A man who is officially the most tattooed person in the world with ‘200 per cent’ of his body covered in ink said that sometimes people are scared of him – and he is misinterpreted as the Devil.
Lucky Diamond Rich entered the Guinness World Records book after getting every single inch of his body tattooed, but not everyone is a fan of his look.
Lucky, from New Zealand, said that people think he is scary because of his extensive work but insists he is anything but, as the Daily Star reports.
He recently spoke out about his lifestyle and said that he often has difficult confrontations when he is in public, but he still loves his lifestyle all the same.
He stated that occasionally people are afraid of him and think he’s the devil.
After getting every square inch of his body tattooed, Lucky Diamond Rich joined the Guinness World Records book, but not everyone likes the way he looks.
According to the Daily Star in New Zealander, Lucky claims that despite the perception that he is frightening due to his vast livelihood, he is anything but.

In a recent interview, he admitted that, despite the uncomfortable interactions he frequently has with people in public, he still adores his lifestyle.
Speaking on the I’ve Got News For You podcast, he said: “I was in New York shopping in Times Square, and this Christian fella – no offence to Christians – this guy thought I was the devil, and he lost it.
“I was in there buying shoes with my girlfriend at the time, and he just absolutely lost it.
“The security came and they got rid of him. Whatever people think of me is none of my business, and I don’t need praise either or adulation.

“Ironically, I had to tattoo my entire body in order to feel comfortable in my own skin while holding the world record. That has been and is my journey.”
Rich revealed on the show that he has always wished to hold a prestigious place in the Guinness World Records book.
Rich made the decision to try it after discovering that the record at the time stood at 99.9% and having 80 percent of his body inked.
He continued: “I knew about Tom Leopard, the previous record holder. I knew that he was 99.9 per cent and I just went, well to me that’s a golden opportunity to cover everything that I’ve got, and then I was actually tattooing over the black as well.
“So for me it was like there was a way of covering everything that I had, getting the record, and then retaining the record by going over the top of the 100 per cent layer, which was the second layer.
“So really it’s about 230 per cent… I don’t really say that, I just say that I’m still trying to finish my first tattoo and it’s all one tattoo.”
