Dad With 240 Tattoos Faces Backlash
Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
The saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” captures the message behind Richard Huff’s story.
At 51, and with 85 percent of his body covered in tattoos, he is often judged by appearance rather than character.
Facing Misjudgment
Richard’s tattoos began as self-expression but later brought online ridicule and false assumptions.
Strangers often see only his ink, not who he is.
Family at the Center
Richard and his wife, Marita, are raising five children in a loving home.
Marita admits she once judged him by his looks, but quickly saw his compassion.
Their children describe him as a great dad who “just has tattoos.”
A Lasting Lesson
Despite criticism, Richard stays active in school and family life.
He teaches his kids that kindness and integrity matter more than appearances,
proving true character lies beneath the surface.
