A Brazilian Tattoo Artist Has Transformed Himself Into An Orc Through Extreme Body Modifications

Fernando Franco de Oliveira has covered around 99 per cent of his body with tattoos, including his eyeballs which are now entirely black, and even has horn implants fitted to his head.

The tattoo artist, who owns a studio in the southern city of Tatui near Sao Paulo, admitted he is 'addicted' to the pain of needles.

De Oliveira has acquired a forked tongue and vampire teeth, but he said the most painful and life-changing surgery was the removal of his nose.
