Puts me in mind of an old ditty our Ozzie mates may recall...

"Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde,
And that's it, hangin' on the shed..." :lol:

I always wanted to have a taxidermist make me into a chair, but only if sitters were limited to women, and they had to be over 18 and not related to me..... :o :D

I find tattoos rather repulsive. This doesn't change that.

How could this be legal? If you told the Morticion that you wanted to keep, let's say, a hand, would that be allowed?

Perfect example of our "anything for a buck" society. If there are people weird enough to want something done, somebody will capitalize on it for whatever they can make off it.

I honestly don't see much difference between this and the shrunken heads at Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe in Seattle, circa 1965. The very worst sort of Nazi might appreciate it. Calls to mind the horrors of "The Silence of the Lambs."

Someone mentioned Ed Gein.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein
My mother chased him off about 1951 when she seen him peeking through her bedroom window! Moms cousin`s husband "Specks" Leon Murty had been sheriff of Waushara county and the new sheriff Lenard Shly called Specks for help. Specks solved it, went to Geins farmhouse and found the body and all the ghoulish body parts. Specks and wife Helen were close friends to my folks. About 1979 I went home on vacation and dad and I spent a afternoon talking to Specks about the case. I wish I had a tape recorder as we spent a hour or two discussing it. He told of taking Gein to Madison for a lie detector test. He got there too late and the guy to give the test wanted to give it the next day. Rather than do a turn around trip Specks slept that night with Gein in the same cell. They got talking about Geins crimes and Ed told Specks he couldn't "control" himself on nights of the full moon!
They got Gein on two murders of women but Specks said the actual count was something like six. Once Specks and my dad in the 1940`s tracked two missing deer hunters to Ed`s farm. They NEVER were found! Specks said Gein gave them about 48 graves he could remember robbing. I think they dug up two at random and found them empty and didn't go farther with that. Specks went in detail of the ghoulish body parts etc they found in Geins house that I wont go into as there still has to be many relatives of the case that could read it. Later the county was going to auction off Geins farm, house and a lot of stuff. The night before the auction the place was torched. Specks knew who did it but it but it shall remain "unsolved".

According to Wikipedia the movie "Psycho" was loosely based on the Ed Gein case. Gein spent his life in the state insane asylum for the criminally insane.
My mother ran a roadside vegetable stand on the highway in front of our small farm. One day she came in and told about a strange nut that hung around her stand that day. That night she was making their bed as dad was due home from swing shift. She looked up and Gein had his face pressed to the window! Dad kept a revolver in the bed room dresser that she should have grabbed but didn't. Instead she screeched, "Why you devil!" My bedroom was upstairs but I recall hearing her. I was about ten. She ran outside and sigged dad`s dog "Pete" on him. He took off running down the road. This was about 00:30 as dad shortly came home from work. Dad said he seen the guy running up towards a parked truck up the road. He went back but the truck was gone. A couple years later when the story broke of Gein`s capture she recognized Geins picture from that day.
I have a female cousin, a retired deputy. Last time I seen Suzie we talked about the case. She always was a joker. She said you know what Geins job was in the nut house? No, what was it? She said "butcher".
Specks told me some background. As a teenager Gein and a brother went hunting and Ed came back by himself. Claimed he lost the brother. That night there was a marsh fire. After the fire Ed led a search party and conveniently found the charred remains of his brother. Later Geins father died in a fire that burned down the family farmhouse. Still later a teen age baby sitter disappeared while baby sitting. Never was found. Specks found a old faded levi jacket at the scene with criss crossed faded different marks of straps from someone who farmed with a team. Gein was the only one that still farmed with horses but he couldn't get Gein to crack on that one. Then there was the two deer hunters that never were found that Specks and dad tracked to near his farm. When the lady storekeeper Bernice Worden was missing Shly, (Who made sheriff and had no training) called Specks out for help, as Specks now was constable of Wild Rose, a small town or large village near Wautoma where the county sheriffs office is located, Specks drove out to Plainfield the Coast to Coast Hardware store where the lady ran that disappeared. He looked over the scene and told Shly if we solve this one we also will have solved that case in Adams county where the lady tavern owner Mary Hogan disappeared. Specks found where she started to write up "kerosene". He said Gein is the only one around that still doesn't have electricity. (The official story says antifreeze but Specks said kerosene) He and his old deputy, Dan Chase drove out there and found the carnage. Wikipedia`s version differed quite a bit from what Specks told dad and I. Specks said Geins father died in a house fire, Wikipedia`s version says heart attack. Specks and Shly butted heads too. Specks was real low key and always stayed out of the spotlight. He told me Shly told him lets sit on this story, and right after went and sold the rights to Life magazine!

No tattoos, and no plans to get any. My choice.

Murderers are another anomaly to me. I was in the Army and could have killed in that situation. I am just fine with the fact that I never saw combat. I could and would have gone to war without question. Killing without just cause would not be possible for me. Protecting a life is just cause. Murderers I just cannot understand.

It is heartbreaking to look into the eyes of this boy and know what he would become. I have to trust God's justice is as perfect as His mercy in a case like this.

The difference I see is those shrunken heads were done long ago, and sort of represent the history of cannibals back then. Still weird, but in a historical way.
But this is a "service" someone is offering today. Skinning a corpse and making some memorabilia out of it for profit is something bordering on criminal in my eyes. What next?
