Appearance
Shaddix has many tattoos. One of the first tattoos he got was when he was 21 years old, his wife's name across his left arm. "Born To Rock" is bared across the top of his chest. On his left knuckles he has "Love" and on his right knuckles he has "Hate". On the left side of his chest, he has a Queen surrounded by water, and on the right is a king surrounded by flames. Jacoby says this represents the good and evil in him. On his right arm he has a scroll which reads, "Here Lies Jacoby Dakota Shaddix" and underneath reads, "Born With Nothing, Die With Everything", which is also the name of one of the band's songs from LoveHateTragedy. His sons' names are tattooed on his wrist. On his left arm he has a house in flames, which references the band's song "Broken Home", and a coffin which references their song "Harder Than A Coffin Nail". On the back of his neck, Jacoby and his wife Kelly have the Chinese symbol for love, which he spoke about in an episode of MTV Cribs.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“What! Would you make no distinction between hypocrisy and devotion? Would you give them the same names, and respect the mask as you do the face? Would you equate artifice and sincerity? Confound appearance with truth? Regard the phantom as the very person? Value counterfeit as cash?”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
