Man Who Spent £12,500 On Extreme Body Modification Wants To 'Look As Inhuman As Possible'
The extreme body modification artist has splashed out £12,500 on his look so far
A man who wants to make himself look 'as inhuman as possible' has splashed out a whopping £12,500 ($17,000) so far on his unique look.
The extreme body modification artist from the Ore Mountains, Germany - known on Instagram as Black Depression - has spent years turning himself into a 'human puzzle'.
And it's not just the body tattoos.
He's also inked his eyeballs and face, along with covering both rows of his teeth in titanium.
The 28-year-old has also opted to surgically remove chunks of his ear cartilage, while having his nostrils pierced and his earlobes pierced and stretched.
The whites of his eyes have been inked with a jet black shade.
The German artist said: "Body modification has fascinated me for many years. I can do my individual thing, not the same as what others do.
"I can create and change my body as I would like it to be. I don’t follow a trend like many other people.
"Over the years I developed my own trend, which nobody else wears. I go to different body mod artists around the world, and I also perform some procedures on myself."
Black Depression first began his journey when he was 20 years old, opting for a tongue splitting procedure.
He said: “I started body modification at the age of 20.
"My first procedure was to split my tongue.
"Then half of my auricle [visible portion of external ear] was amputated on both sides."
However, Black Depression isn't fully satisfied with his modified look and is plans on doing even more extreme body modifications in the future.
"So hot and cool!" one user wrote on a recent Instagram post.
A second added: "You’re beautiful."
A third commented: "Nice."
Others simply used emojis such as the fire or heart with eyes emojis to express their feelings.
