A heavily tattooed and pierced man who goes by the name The Creature says his appearance is so bizarre that even his five-year-old daughter is scared of him.
Marcus Boykin is a tattoo artist and body piercer who has turned his body into a canvas featuring his own unique designs and piercings.
He performs at the Venice Beach Freakshow which has been turned into a reality series coming soon to AMC.
The 29-year-old adds a new tattoo to his body every day and describes it as a calling.
'Without feeling the needle feels like I'm losing my purpose in life,' he said in the promo video for the the reality series Freakshow.
'My body will never be done. This is my story. I'm still living so my story cannot be done.'
But with such talent also comes drawbacks as he reveals the negatives to looking the way he does.
'Knowing that I have a daughter who is five-years-old -- her name is Mia -- it's a hard thing to deal with. A hard road.'
He said Mia's mother, his ex-wife, has never really supported his decision.
'She's known me from the beginning, but since I've made the transformation, it's still something that was hard for her to deal with,' he said.
The few times he has seen his daughter he said she was scared of him. Luckily his two-year-old son - by another woman - does not share the same feeling.
'He's not scared of me, he loves me.'
Other 'freaks' who appear on the reality series with him include, Amazing Ali, the miniature woman; Goth-fashioned Morgue, whose bag of tricks includes plunging a drill bit up his nose and George, who, at 7-feet-8-inches, is the resident Tall Man.
