Ep55. Lucky Rich, the most tattooed man, with his tattoos as representation of his commitment to recovery

Lucky Diamond Rich is well known as the most tattooed person on earth. This street artist, performer and Guinness World Records holder is one of the most recognisable person you ever come across. Lucky, an Indigenous Australian man, grew up around domestic violence. When a community circus group went to his school in West End, Brisbane to teach basic circus skills, he took to it like a duck to water. Lucky’s escapism was through arts and circus performing.  Lucky never discovered substances until the legal age of 18, when he found alcohol to be ‘the best thing ever’. His self esteem came from being accepted by people, when he performed, when people told him what he wanted to hear. He was a people pleaser. Lucky traveled around the world performing and partying hard for a long time, which gradually led him down to the path of destruction. In this episode, Lucky narrates his life story from his childhood, to the discovery of his passion in circus, drugs and tattoos, and finally the gift of recovery. Lucky is 6 years clean and sober. Instagram @theofficialluckyrichwww.thetruthaboutaddiction.com.au@thetruthabout_addictionDisclaimer: Photo of Lucky was taken from Guinness World Records webpage
