World of the Bizarre

Man modifies himself to become a real-life orc

The 41-year-old, who goes by the name 'Orc', has turned himself into a character out of a video game.
It could be argued that there are some people who take body modifications and tattooing a little too far, as evidenced by 'Orc' - an enthusiast from the Brazilian town of Iguatemi who has had so much work done to his body that he doesn't even look human any more.

He had his first tattoo done when he was just 15 years old and has since undergone a variety of procedures to make himself look like his namesake - a fictional orc-like creature.

In addition to covering 80% of his body in ink, Orc has had both of his eyeballs tattooed black, his tongue split into a fork and has even had two large tusks fitted over his bottom teeth.

He has also reshaped his ears and has multiple subdermal implants.

"I am trying to be myself, these are just my ideas, my inspirations coming from the heart, I am not inspired by anyone," he says.
Even his wife has got in on the act with several tattoos and body modifications of her own.

According to reports however, his mother isn't exactly a fan of his new look.
