5 Collector's Weird collection!

Collector is a term for collectors of goods or objects that are worthy of being collected by enthusiasts which are often equated with hobbies or interests. We often encounter normal collectors such as stamp collectors, ancient money collections, cars, antique motorcycle collectors and so on. But it turns out that there are some people who are collectors of antiques and even quite strange, you know, like some of the following collectors!

1. Dr. Katsunari Fukushi Corpse Tattoo Collector

Dr. Katsunari Fukushi is one of the founders of the Japan Tattoo Institute which is engaged in the preservation of the traditional art of Japanese tattoo or its popular name 'Tebori'. The collection is more than 100 traditional tattoos, all of which are tattoos with dead human skin canvas media. This is of course done by obtaining a previous legal permit, everything he does is for the sake of preserving culture and science.

2. Ray Bandar Bone Collector

Ray Bandar is a skull collector. It has been more than 50 years since he collected his collections from all over the world. He placed more than 7000 skulls in his house which he named "The Bone Palace" and most of his collection was in his bedroom.

3. Laurence Hutton Death Mask Collector

Laurence Hutton (1843-1904) was a person who had a great interest in the true appearance of the world's great figures. So he started looking for and collecting death masks from historical figures. Some of his collections include Napoleon, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Goethe, Newton and Charles XII. Until now the collection can be seen at Princeton University.

4. General Horatio Gordon Robley Chief Collector

General Horatio Gordon Robley (1840-1930) spent more than a year researching the life of the Maori people in New Zealand. He also collected as many severed heads as possible from the tribe and preserved them. Robley considers it a work of art considering the faces of the chiefs of the tribe are covered in primitive Maori tattoos. Now the collection is stored in the American Museum of Natural History, New York-United States.

5. John Reznikoff Hair Collector

John Reznikoff is a collector who dedicates his life to collecting hair from all over the world. Hair from Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, to Beethoven are part of his valuable collection. It is even said that when Britney Spears shaved her head, Reznikoff became the first person to book her hair.

Those are some of the odd collections of collectors. It's really unthinkable for ordinary people to collect these objects, yes. If you are, what is your hobby of collecting?
