A
Venezuelan man has taken body modification to the extreme in a bid to
make himself look like comic book super villain Red Skull.
Henry
Damon, 37, had already had several subdermal implants on his forehead
before having part of his nose removed in order to achieve the right
Marvel madman look.
Despite the drastic surgery, Mr Damon, from Caracas, Venezuela, is getting ready to take it even further to fulfill his dream.
The married
father, who now calls himself Red Skull, also tattooed his eyeballs
black before adding red and back face tattoos to look like the comic
book villain.
Red
Skull first appeared in 1947 as the Nazi agent arch-enemy of Marvel
hero Captain America and most recently appeared in the 2011 film Captain
America: The First Avenger, played by Hugo Weaving.
After
meeting up with med-school dropout Emilio Gonzalez, who specialises in
tattooing and extreme body surgery, Mr Damon 'knew that this was his
opportunity,' a friend said.
'He
has loved comic books since he was a kid and always dreamed of being
Red Skull, but never got round to doing it,' friend Pablo Hernandez
said.
Before the surgery, Mr Damon underwent several physical and psychological tests, according to his 'surgeon' Mr Gonzalez
Henry aka Red Skull is a physically and intellectually healthy person,' Mr Gonzalez said.
'He's an excellent son, husband and father, who has an extreme taste for body modification.
'Most
of my customers know that body modification is the last step of body
art, everyone knows very well what they want and as well as Henry, many
of them are waiting for me for many years to make their dreams a
reality.'
Mr Gonzalez added that Mr Damon is not done with his transformation, and is about to take it even further.
Mr Gonzalez said: 'Next will be silicone implants on the cheekbones, chin and cheeks.
'Then we will tattoo his entire face red and then he will be Red Skull.'
In recovery: After he had his nose removed, Mr Damon had further subdermal implants done
Final
steps: After his nose healed and his forehead bulked up, Mr Damon
started adding red and black tattoos to his face to get the right Red
Skull look
Result: Mr Damon poses during the annual Venezuela Tattoo International Expo in Caracas last week
