22-year-old man gets his own nose cut off, ears hacked and eyes tattooed to look like a 'living skull'
A man from Colombia has cut off his ears and nose and tattooed his eyes to look like a living skull. Kalaca Skull, a tattoo artist whose real name is Erick Yeiner Hincapié Ramírez, has been going through extreme surgical procedures to make his face look like a skull for about two years now.
The 22-year-old man said he has been fascinated with skulls ever since he was little but only started to transform his face after the death of his mother because she did not approve of his obsession with extreme body modification. Kalaca had the lower half of his nose and most of his earlobes cut off during the excruciating procedures. He had also split his tongue in half and tattooed it a blue-grey color apart from tattooing large black eye-sockets around his eyes.
