Brandon Pippin stands out in a crowd, and never simply because he’s a successful rapper.
He’s also covered head-to-toe in tattoos.
Nevertheless, despite his skilled success, Pippin — whose stage name is Crewsont — said he struggles within the romance department.
“Quite a lot of people can’t handle their partner always having people gawk at him and throw themselves at him,” he told “Truly” in a video interview, adding that he hasn’t been on a date “in years.”
The 29-year-old rapper began getting tattoos six years ago, spending hundreds on his ink, which covers his face, neck and scalp — even having a scar tattooed over his eyes — and getting fitted for everlasting gold teeth.
“I wear clothes to point out off tattoos on a regular basis because I like them — they appear cool,” he explained. “I typically don’t need to do much.”
Pippin, whose genre of music is “scream rap,” said persons are surprised when he says he has trouble dating.
When asked what sort of woman he tends to draw, Pippin admitted he’s yet to search out someone who’s an appropriate match.
“I feel I typically attract the not-so-good women,” he admitted, saying many of the gals he meets recognize him from social media or at a show.
“I feel like I attract the chaotic, attention-seeking sort of girls,” he added.
Pippin’s decision to cover himself in head-to-toe tattoos was inspired by other rappers he’d seen, noting all of them had interesting tattoos, but said he does get interesting responses from the general public.
“I can have people completely ignore [me] and I actually have some those that will look me [and scoff] and a few people hold their purses,” he said.
Pippin isn’t the just one who says persons are skittish around their ink. French man Anthony Loffredo — who calls himself the “black alien” — said he’s been blacklisted from restaurants because of his appearance.
Loffredo removed his ears, nostrils and even a number of fingers; sharpened his teeth and dyed them purple; and covered his body in extreme tattoos, saying he’s been “captivated with mutations and transformations” from “a really young age.”
