Victor Hugo Peralta Rodriguez got his first tattoo when he was just 13, and it was a bold choice. He got the word 'f***' inked on his knuckles, and he's been adding to his artwork ever since. The 50-year-old now refers to himself as the "beautiful monster" as 95% of his body, including his eyeballs and the top of his penis, is completely covered in tats.

He also has countless piercings and other body modifications, including tongue splits, scarifications, ear incisions and a lobe expansion. Victor, who was born in Uruguay and now lives in Argentina where he has been working as a tattoo artist for 26 years, says his favourite inkings are the ones on his face. The most painful experience of his body art was the pigmentation of his tongue, which caused difficulty in breathing for hours.
