A man has spent more than £6,000 on body modifications including having his ears removed.
Sandro, known as Mr. Skull Face, says that even though people call him sick, it’s made him more confident.
The 39-year-old from Finsterwalde, Germany, has undergone a series of extreme body modifications including forehead implants, forearm implants, back of the hand implants, and tongue splitting, and more.
Last year, Sandro removed both of his ears which he keeps in a jar.
He says his decision to change his body in such drastic ways comes from the heart as opposed to any desire to look cool.
The extreme look doesn’t sit well with everyone, however, with Sandro admitting that he does receive plenty of unwarranted comments when he is out and about, with some people calling him ‘sick’, ‘disturbed’ and ‘crazy’.
But that hasn’t stopped him from planning his next extreme body mod – having the tip of his nose removed and his eyeballs tattooed.
Sandro’s interest in extreme body modifications was ignited in 2007 after he saw someone on TV who had spikes implanted in their head.
Over the course of 13 years, he has had 17 extreme body modifications as well as the more regular face tattoos and nose piercings with his favourite being ear removal.
Currently unemployed and single, Sandro understands that making such extreme changes to his appearance has changed social life.
But he doesn’t let it bother him and says that people should accept him for who he is and not just the way he looks.
‘My transformation has influenced my life, but I don’t care. I should be accepted as a person, and above all because of my inner values,’ said Sandro.
‘My appearance has had a huge impact on my chances of getting a job because a lot of companies are still very conservative.
‘I think that I have often been rejected from jobs because of my appearance.
‘I think that it has of course had an effect on me finding a relationship, as it scares most people off, but of course, many people also find it very interesting.
‘Friends have tried to talk me out of the modifications, especially when it came to cutting off my ears, but I’m just a person who likes to go his own way.’
Sandro does warn those who are thinking about starting on their own extreme body modification journey to exercise caution and make sure they’re doing it for the right reasons.
‘If you’re a beginner, do long and thorough research, think carefully about everything and take your time,’ he said.
‘Above all, never do something just because you want to be more blatant or cool with it; it has to come from the heart and be for yourself.’
