We pass people on the street with tattoos and piercings every day, and nobody even blinks. But what happens when body modification goes beyond the commonplace and becomes extreme? Well, I suppose you end up looking these people.
Check out these videos for some of the freakiest and weirdest body modifications I’ve ever seen.
The Lizardman
Eric Sprague became somewhat of a body modification pioneer when he became the first chap to have his tongue split. But that’s just the start of the freaky changes he’s made in efforts to appear more like a lizard. With all those green scale tatts and Teflon implants, I think he’s definitely succeeded!
Piercing World Record Holder Elaine Davidson
With more than 2500 piercings, Elaine Davidson holds the world record. In fact, her obsession adds 3 kg to her body weight! As this video shows though, she doesn’t just look bizarre. She’s also got some amazingly freakish skills!
Lucky Diamond Rich And His Tattoos
Lucky Diamond Rich has more tattoos than anyone else in the world! Not content to cover just the typical places, he’s also inked his eyelids, inside his ears, and his gums. Despite his scary appearance, he seems like a really nice guy!
The Leopard Man
Tom Leppard used to be a British soldier. But then he packed it all in to live like his namesake, a leopard. Tom’s got some impressive spotty tattoos and imposing sharp fangs there, but he’s not so different from you and me. He still enjoys venturing into town for a pint at the pub!
Body Modification Montage
The folks above might be the famous ones, but they’re not the only guys and gals striving to create a unique look. This video brings you some of the most shocking body modification photos around. Be warned – if you’re squeamish you might want to skip this!
