They look like they may be taking a break from the latest low-budget horror movie featuring either aliens or the un-dead.
But for these people, who are exhibiting at the Venezuela Tattoo International Expo in Caracas, all of the modifications and colourings are real.
These people have had implants, extreme dental work and even dye injected into their eyeballs to make them look as menacing as possible.
The four-day event has seen people travel from across the globe to show their extreme modifications, with implants even to alter the shape of their skulls.

Horrifying to me but maybe attractive to someone else? Do you think they have partners? Ever have sex? Like old time traveling freak shows or circus acts. Those are some nasty looking freaks. Yep, I'd say a whole lot of mental goin on there.

This is exhibitionism to the extreme. These people have an unnatural desire to be noticed and to shock people. I can't imagine they do this just to sit at home alone, in hiding.

This shit is all fun and games when you are a stupid 20-something with a drug problem.

But talk about regretting youthful indiscretions when you are older . . .

There are a raft of Starbucks employees here with the ear lobe extenders. I know I sound like an ancient elder gay, but just how stretched do they want to get? Dinner plate size?

Oddly, I'm ok with tats but just not on the face and neck. A co-worker got a tongue stud and it became madly infected. He was literally crying with pain.

Tattoos can be quite sexy IMO in great moderation. In my opinion, if you have tats that can be seen when you're wearing short pants and a short sleeve shirt, you've got too many.

Where can these people get jobs and are they eligible for disability?

I just wondered what type of business allows employees to have tongue studs.

Since I live in a tourist town, when I'm in Waikiki, most everyone wears bathing suits, shorts, Tees.

When a see a beautiful young girl, with creamy, smooth, clear skin, all tatted up, full sleeves and legs, I cringe.

As an old fart, I would kill for that smooth, un wrinkled, no liver spots skin. And the trend, as far as I can see, has not abated with the youngins.

Some tats are really beautiful works of art, some are just random crap. Either way, they will be a messy, blotchy sludge in 10 years. That's the problem for me.

I have a great joke about tats and Jamaica but it may offend. :eek

I can't fathom any state allowing someone to get disability because they were stupid enough to do this to themselves. Well, maybe California, but nowhere else. :lol
