Paul Lawrence Extreme Transformation Into Enigma

Paul Lawrence, widely known as "The Enigma", has taken his body art to the extreme covering his body with blue puzzle pieces.


Lawrence is a sideshow performer, actor and successful musician who has undergone extensive body modification, including horn implants, ear reshaping, numerous body piercings and a full-body jigsaw-puzzle tattoo. 

His tattooing process started on December 20, 1992, under the needle of "Katzen the Tiger Lady," heavily tattooed herself, whom he later married and has since divorced. To date, the Enigma has had more than two hundred tattoo artists work on him, with as many as twenty-three underway at one time.

The Enigma was raised in Seattle and began studying music when he was six years old. In 1991, he was a founding member of the Jim Rose Circus, with which he toured until 1998. The Enigma then toured with Katzen, playing music and doing sideshow performances under the moniker "Human Marvels".

He performed at Universal Studios Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights event in fall 2007 with Serana Rose, performing several tricks with fire, electricity, power tools, blades, sword swallowing, pushing a moving power drill up his nose and swallowing various liquids, pumping them out of his stomach and swallowing them again. He has also performed at Detroit's Theatre Bizarre.
