We have heard of people obsessing over body art and piercings. But this 22-year-old from Columbia has a weird obsession. He wants to look like a skull even if it means making heavy body transformations and surgeries. Kalaca Skull as he calls himself is so fascinated by skulls from his childhood that he wants to look like one. He has started turning his face two years ago and has already cut half of his nose and mutilated his ears. Covered in 90% Tattoos, Man Removed His Penis, Testicles & Nipples as They 'Interfered' with His Body Art.
He is undergoing some extreme procedures to achieve his dream look! His mother was against his obsession and since she died two years ago, he has started his mission. As skulls do not have ears, he has cut off his earlobes. He has also tattooed the rest of his face, including his eye sockets to have a skull-like appearance. He has coloured his eye sockets blue-grey and split his tongue in half.
Take a look at one of Kalaca Skull's interview about his obsession:
He is the first person in Columbia who has mutilated his ears and nose voluntarily. His decision was criticised by the general public but he Kalaca likes to call it a look 'we all share underneath our skin and in death.' Talking about his admiration for skulls, he was quoted to Daily Mail, "Body modifications are a personal decision and should not be judged. It is like judging a woman for getting breast or buttock implants. For me, a skull is like my sister, a part of my family really, I feel very attached to them."
His look is still not complete and he has to undergo even more surgeries to complete his 'dream.' His unusual appearance is a definite discomfort to those around him but he says he is a normal person who looks a lot different than others.
