Disney Tattoo Guy - Was He In The World Last Week?

[belle&sebastiansmom]

At Epcot last Tuesday I swore I saw George Reiger, the Disney tattoo guy. It was at a distance, in the pouring rain, but this man had the same build as pictures I've seen of Reiger, was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt, and was obviously covered in tats from head to toe. He had a small group around him, walking quickly under an umbrella, and we were unable to catch up.

Can anyone confirm or deny if the Disney Tattoo Guy was in the parks last week? I read online once that he makes a monthly pilgrimage to Orlando from his home in Pennsylvania.

IDK but I met him before!! He is the nicest guy.

Yes, it was him. We were walking back to the International Gateway around 11:30AM on Tuesday and we passed him. He was wearing a red sleeveless shirt if I remember correctly. I usually see him a few times a year, mostly in the Magic Kingdom.

You may have seen him last week but about 2 weeks ago we saw a woman with Disney tattoos all over her!!!!! I even took a picture of her from the back-she was wearing a strap-less type top -they were down her arms-all over her back & I have to say whoever did it can draw just like the characters-princesses-castle-all of it-pretty amazing for a woman!!

I had not heard of him before this thread but we certainly saw someone matching that description last week in EPCOT!

I saw him too. We stayed at the YC from Aug 28 - Sept 1. We passed him walking past the Captains Grill. I think it was Sun or Mon.

He was also at HS on the 29th, he and his wife were chatting with one of the Disney Artists in one of the shops-no his wife is not covered in tattoos

We had the pleasure of sitting with him at the Adventurers Club one night a few years ago. He is a really sweet down to earth guy, he loved showing us his tattoos. He even had ones of Adventurers Club members!

I remember I was hunting down TJ at TOT and ran into Tatoo Guy who was also looking for him, so I got to meet them both.

We saw her too. The work was amazing.

I saw him at the Beach Club last week.....I really wanted to look at his body art but didn't want to disturb him.....he was dining at Cape May. (Which by the way was delicious.)

Is there another Disney Tatoo guy? I seem to remember reading an article about another tatooed indivdual?

 

[swillis]

My kids and I met him a few years ago at the Hoop De Doo dinner. He was very friendly and took lots of time to show his tattoos to my kids...even pointing out that he has all 101 Dalmations.

I hope that George take a trip at the end of Nov, beginning of December. I would love to run into him. He has been going to Disney for years. He has so many trips under his belt. It would be a pleasure to meet him.
