The following is taken from a Singapore newspaper article about CM Punk ... 

Almost every inch of his muscular body is covered in myriad tattoos.

With his long shaggy hair and outwardly mean demeanour, CM Punk isn't someone an average girl would bring home to meet mommy and daddy.

But who cares?

Certainly not Punk, a star pro wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), who proclaims that he just wants to be himself.

But Punk, whose real name is Phillip Brooks, said: 'Don't judge a book by its cover.'

That's because although he may look like a wild child, Punk does not drink, do drugs or even smoke. The 28-year-old, who will be in Singapore as part of the WWE Smackdown/ECW Summerslam Tour next month, told The New Paper in a phone interview from Connecticut last Friday:

"In wrestling, everybody's got such a strong personality. It may be ironic, but it helps to become a good role model (for others)."

So committed is he to this clean lifestyle that he tattooed the word "straightedge" on his abdomen. The word refers to the straight-living lifestyle he adopts.

Punk also has a Pepsi tattoo on his left shoulder "because I like drinking it (and not beer). It may be boring to some people, but that's just me."
