LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - George Reiger is troubled by the turmoil at the Walt Disney Co. these days but that's not stopping him from pursuing his dream -- one Mickey Mouse tattoo at a time.

Reiger, who calls himself Walt Disney's No. 1 fan and, more familiarly the Disney tattoo guy, has devoted his life and most of his body to the Magic Kingdom -- from the 102 Dalmatians on his right leg to Pinocchio's whale on his belly.

Just last week Reiger had an image of comedian and "Finding Nemo" voice actor Ellen DeGeneres inked on his right knee -- the 1,579th Disney-related tattoo he has had done.

Like many Disneyphiles, Reiger is saddened by Comcast Corp.'s 's unsolicited bid for Disney and the possible disappearance of an American entertainment icon that he admits has become a costly obsession.

1. I, uh,...

...ok. A little overboard, but ok...whatever...

2. This guy is a nut cake. Several years ago he was banned from

Disney Land for harassing "cast members". He sued to regain access. Disney settled after he agreed to a variety of restrictions.

3. For this guy's sake,

I hope he never finds himself in jail.
