A schoolteacher whose body, face and tongue are covered in tattoos and who has had the whites of his eyes surgically turned black said he was prevented from teaching at a French kindergarten after a parent complained he scared their child.
But the teacher, Sylvain Helaine, 35, still teaches children from the age of 6 up and said that after an initial shock when they see him for the first time, his pupils see past his appearance.
“All of my students and their parents were always cool with me because basically they knew me,” said Helaine, who estimated he has spent around 460 hours under the tattooists’ needle.

He can't seriously be surprised that schools don't want punk gollum teaching children? Well, he should do well when he goes up Bunker Hill (yeah, I know, Breed's Hill). "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes, Boys!"
He is what I would expect to see in a drunk delirium nightmare, not teaching kindergarten!

Dang, that is the actual guy?!?
No way. LOL

His only use in school would be to bring him in to a class studying Moby Dick so as to compare his tattoos with those of Queequeg; so not for kindergarteners.

Wonder if he has a clear patch on his back where you can see your own future.
