9. Maori Design on his Whole Body

Tattoo:  Maori Design

Meaning:  Ray had started this tattoo mission when he turned 59. After getting into bodybuilding, Houghton was too embarrassed to show off his muscles with those prior eight tattoos, so he covered them with the Maori design art. From here he began his journey to cover up his skin and to reduce the signs of aging. He visited a tattoo artist, Toby Dean to get his sleeves done and to cover up the older tattoos but ended up with the full body inking with the Maori artwork. He endured 14 months of eight to nine-hour session every two weeks, starting from his arms and legs. And over just 14 months he covered his whole body in a Black Bodysuit leaving just his feet, hands and face.

To complete the ‘Full Body Suit,’ he has even inked his genitals on Christmas Eve, 2018. Houghton said that “I did lose a lot of confidence and I began to feel like an old man. What people think of me is important to me. Those old tattoos were done when I was 17. They were disgusting. Now I’m proud to show my body off again, and I can’t wait to show people my body in full. I love it and feel younger and complete.”
