Jonathan Davis born in Bakersfield, California on January 18th, 1971. His nickname is HIV,
as a sort of agreement with the "faggot" term he was dubbed in high school. He does not, in
fact, have AIDS or the HIV virus, although he does have the letters "H I V" tattooed on his
upper left arm. He says "That tattoo has probably saved my life. You know in situations
when passion and lust take over your brain.... I take a look at that tattoo and I remember
that the virus is out there and you never know who's got it." On his upper right arm is a
tattoo of a crazed bishop ripping up his skin: "The bishop is a symbol of the atrocities that
religion is making. He's ripping up my skin to reveal Christ. It's more of a symbol of how
corrupt religion is. I don't believe in any of it because of shit like televangilism. Do you really
think that all that money really goes to charity?"

Jonathan recently married his girlfriend, Rene, on November 14, 1998. They have one son,
Nathaniel Houseman (Houseman being Jonathan's middle name, as well), born on October
18, 1995. He had been expecting (astrologically) a baby girl, but at delivery Jonathan was
only slightly surprised to see, as he put it, "pink balls," and he had to come away from the
girls name Salaam Dementia.
