Tattoo artist from Brazil made an orc out of himself! this is not the end
Over the years of modifications, Fernando Franco de Oliveira has become unrecognizable.
The tattoo artist and owner of the salon over the past ten years has covered almost his entire body with tattoos, made several piercings, installed horns on his forehead, forked his tongue and even decided to remove his nose.
A resident of the Brazilian city of Tatuy said that the Lord of the Rings series of books and films inspired him to create an orc out of himself.
In a way, I’m like the main attraction of my own studio. About 70% of people who see me on the street want to take a picture with me, finding my appearance interesting, ”said Fernando.
Many are interested in the question — how native tattoo artists reacted to his external changes. Fernando Franco de Oliveira noted that at first his friends and relatives were in complete shock,
but after a while they were able to get used to his unusual appearance. Most of my friends are already used to my appearance. When I first started tattooing myself and doing all these modifications, it was a big shock for them, ”said the tattoo artist.
In 2006, de Oliveira began to actively cover the body with tattoos, applying them to absolutely all parts of the body. Among other things, the Brazilian painted over the whites of his eyes with black paint.
It is not surprising that already in 2014 Fernando was recognized as the most tattooed person in the country and included in the Latin American version of the Guinness Book of Records.
Gradually, with new tattoos, the appearance of the master changed. First, he stretched out the holes in his ears, lengthening them, making them look like elven ones. Even Fernando’s teeth were measured by a doctor and made them vampire.
But the tattoo artist considers the deprivation of his nose to be his most important transformation. It turned out that this procedure was so painful that Fernando is still experiencing severe inconvenience.
