Richard Huff, a 51-year-old father with over 240 tattoos covering 85% of his body, has faced criticism for his appearance, particularly his face tattoos. Despite being labeled a “bad father” by strangers online, Huff emphasizes that his family is no different from others. He began his tattoo journey as an addiction, starting with his legs and expanding to cover most of his body. His tattoos include the names of his children and his daughter’s lips, and he plans to be fully covered within the next few years.

While his tattoos have led some to judge him harshly, including children at his kids’ school who find him intimidating, Huff’s wife, Marita, initially judged his appearance but later came to see him as a kind-hearted person. She often shares how much Richard loves her and their children, noting his active involvement in family life, including participating in PTA meetings and attending his children’s events.

Despite the negativity, Huff remains firm in his belief that tattoos do not make him a bad father. He argues that those who criticize him may have issues of their own and that the love and happiness of his family are what truly matter. His story serves as a reminder not to judge people solely by their appearance and to recognize that families come in all forms.

But there are others who also defend Richard. One said, “Everyone keeps talking about his face tattoo. He likes it. He got it. He’s a good father. Let him be.”
