Every BODY has a Story: Twiztid Tats

"I’m really into the Insane Clown Posse, and all that crazy over the top mayhem. They’re dark, but they’re funny at the same time. The scary carnival thing is almost an icon of freakiness at this point and I’m into that. Horror movies, clown suits, you name it, they make everything weirder.

I think about the ICP lyrics from “What is a Juggalo?” and it brings to mind what I’m trying to do with this tattoo. Juggalos are crazy, they’re ballsy, they’re edgy, and they don’t give a sh-t about freaking people out.

These two tattoos on my forearms are of two guys on the same record label as Insane Clown Posse, Monoxide Child and Jamie Madrox. They’re in a band called Twiztid. They’re as nuts as ICP if not more so.

Jamie’s bio says that he’s a “manic compulsive-depressant who suffers from a fixation of reality mind states where in fact he breaks down reality with levels of multiple personalities to control his own personal reality.” Monoxide’s is the same or worse. And that’s on the record label fan site!

The symmetry makes the craziness even more funny- the fact that these two guys balance me makes me feel like a shadow show at the dark carnival"
