Marcelo Bboy (38 years old) spent more than 40,000 USD on tattoos with tricks to cut the tongue, fix the ears and blacken the whites of the eyes.
Marcelo Bboy got his first tattoo at the age of 15. However, a few years later, he began to cover his body with weird and colorful designs, according to the New York Post.
“When I was 22, I realized I wanted more ink stains. Currently, my body is covered up to 98% of tattoos, only a few places are not available such as the private area or legs. I’ll do it soon,” the model and tattoo artist told Media Drum.
Since his first “HIP HOP” tattoo, Bboy has spent nearly $40,000 on ink marks and body modifications.
Among the many shocking makeovers, he has tattooed his pupils and gums to black, cleft the tongue like a snake, replaced his teeth completely with nickel, and modified his ears. Most recently, he performed a transplant in his left arm for decorative purposes.
Bboy admits the most painful procedure is cutting his tongue, but people are more curious about his dark eyes.
“They wondered about the way I tattooed my eyes and the risk of going blind. However, I don’t worry about that risk because I know the process. The change in pigmentation is only in the white part of the eye,” he recounts.
Bboy has 2 sons and a grandson. He now lives in Bocaiuva (Brazil), where he turned his passion for tattooing into a career.
Thanks to plastic surgeries and changes in appearance, he became a famous model and artist, participating in tattoo events as a public figure.
This man said he rarely receives negative comments about his unusual appearance.
“People look at me with more curiosity and interest. And women love my tattoos,” he said.
Despite having done the body modifications he wants, Bboy still has a few tattoos planned to do in the near future. He will turn his body into a big picture. He also said that he could not choose his favorite “work” among 1,500 tattoos on his body.
“My advice to anyone who wants to get a lot of tattoos is to know exactly what you want and work in the tattoo industry,” he shared.
