It looks like the Guinness Book of World Records has a new entry. It seems that an Eminem fan in Scotland has recently set a new world record for “The Most Tattooed Portraits of the Same Musician on His or Her Body”.
According to the October 05, 2020 article by Michael Bartiromo on www.FoxNew.com titled “Eminem Fan in Scotland Sets Guinness Record for Most Tattooed Portraits of Same Musician”, a certain young lady named Nikki Patterson is clearly not afraid of needles!
The 35-year-old Aberdeen, Scotland resident recently secured the Guinness World Record for having the most tattoos of the same musician spread across various parts of here body. She set this new record when she got her 15th different tattooed portrait of Eminem! And she’s not done yet. Since her record was confirmed, she’s now gotten a 16th tat, with plans for five more in the near future!
When asked how far she planned to carry this, she replied, “After that… it will depend on how much skin I have left.”
Patterson went on to say that she first fell in love with Eminem’s music when she was 14. Shem got her first Slim Shady-inspired tattoo at 19. But it was only when she was around 22 that she really began collecting the tattooed portraits.
According to Patterson: “I saw an Eminem tattoo by [Scotland-based tattoo artist] David Corden had done and I just knew I needed one,” she said. “And that tattoo changed my life overnight, because I started wanting to be seen rather than being ashamed in my own skin.”
More than just sport his image, Patterson says she has now gone to seen Eminem live a total of seven times. She also has 12 other Eminem-themed tattooed based on his various song lyrics.
She continued, telling Fox News of her hobby that: “I got a second one, and a third and it just went from there. I’m a changed person — I’m confident now and love looking in the mirror. I’ve got thicker skin and worry less about what people think about me.”
What is her next move? As she told Fox News, “I’m gonna keep breaking my own for now, lol.” She must mean this, for she has an upcoming appointment for yet another Eminem portrait on Oct. 23, and four more — all portraits — after that.
As I read this article, I could not help but ask myself one basic question: “Just who do people see when they look at me?” And I can only hope that the answer to that question is none other than Jesus Christ.
Years ago, B.B. McKinney must have been thinking along these same lines. He had to have been, for he was moved to write the now classic words:
While passing thro' this world of sin,
and others your life shall view.
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.
Your life's a book before their eyes,
They're reading it thro' and thro'
Say, does it point them to the skis,
Do others see Jesus in you?
Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
and lead the lost to life and Christ.
Let others see Jesus in you.
While passing thro' this world of sin,
and others your life shall view.
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true;
Let others see Jesus in you.
More than a just penning a hymn for those of us who claim to follow Jesus Christ to sing, McKinney has given us a challenge for how to live our lives. May we be faithful to do so! And remember, the world may or may not record our efforts to do so, but eternity surely does!
Let’s let others see Jesus in us!
