A MOTHER said her son “ruined” his appearance after using extreme body modifications to look like a demon.
Flecha, 35, from Argentina, is obsessed with all things gothic and vampire-like.
For most, this would manifest in small changes to their aesthetic, but Flecha has taken his passion to the extreme, determinedly making changes to his body for his ultimate goal - to look like a deadly creature.
He told Truly: “My interest to adopt a more demon look is based on my personal taste, my passion for terror, for tattoos, the gothic world.” Flecha got his first tattoo aged 15, he has now lost count of the overall number of inks he’s had, instead, he calls it “one enormous tattoo.” He eventually wants to cover himself with a full-body suit, to achieve an otherworldly look.
His other body modifications include a split tongue, tattooed black eyes and pointed ears.
Flecha has an extensive collection of “freaky” objects, which he keeps at home and his tattoo studio, everything from scary masks to animal skulls.
He even keeps some of his own body parts which he has removed, such as his belly button and nipples.
At first, his family found his transformation difficult to accept.
Flecha explained: “My mother when she saw that I was proceeding with the tattoos, every time more and more, she told me: ‘Please, tattoo whatever you want apart from the face!’” His sister also had concerns about the potential safety risks of the procedures: “I remember that when I had my eyes tattooed, she came running to my house, crying, asking me why I did such a thing, that it was dangerous, that I could have lost my sight.” Despite their worries, his family have now come round to accept his choices: "Even if we sometimes end up having differences in our personal tastes, they will always be there for me.”
