Marcelo Bboy, 38, has almost 1,500 tattoos on his body, including his eyeballs and gums, spanning 98 percent of his body.
The model and tattoo artist received his first tattoo at the age of 15, but it took him a few years to start decorating his body in bizarre and colorful designs.
“I realized I wanted more tattoos when I was 22, and I’ve been covering myself in them ever since,” he told Media Drum.
“I still have a few locations left without tattoos, such as personal parts and a little area on my calf, but I aim to get them done as soon as possible.”
Bboy has spent approximately $40,000 on tattoos and body alterations since his initial “HIP HOP” tattoo.
Among his many alarming alterations and adornments, the grandfather has had his eyes and gums tattooed black, his tongue split to mimic a snake, his teeth replaced entirely with nickel, and his ears adjusted.
Bboy recently underwent implants in his left arm for cosmetic reasons.
Bboy got his first tattoo when he was 15 but didn’t get bit by the tattoo until he was 22
He has since covered nearly all of his body in eccentric tattoos and wild body modifications.
He stated that splitting his tongue was the most painful treatment, but that his black eyes had caused the most controversy “because many people are intrigued about how to get their eyes tattooed and have questions about the risk of going blind.”
“I wasn’t concerned about going blind since I know how the process works – the pigmentation is only done in the white area of the eye,” he explained.
Bboy, who lives in Bocaiuva, Brazil, with his two sons and one granddaughter, has turned his passion for tattoos into a vocation. He works as an artistic model and actor, as well as attending tattoo events as a public person, thanks to all of his treatments and perplexing appearance.
Bboy has made a career out of his shocking appearance working as an artistic model and actor, as well as attending tattoo events as a public figure.
He claims that he receives few unfavorable comments about his unusual features. “People are curious and interested in what I have to say. “My tattoos and alterations enchant the ladies,” he said.
He presently has all of the bodily alterations he desires, but more tattoos are on the way. Bboy enjoys every tattoo and modification he’s had done to transform his body into a canvas and can’t pick a favorite.
“I would advise folks who want a lot of tattoos to know exactly what they want and work in the tattoo industry,” Bboy said.
