A man in the United Kingdom who has developed an obsession for body modification has gradually begun to turn himself into the devil. Diablo Delenfer, real name Gavin Paslow, has spent £10,000 in a bid to look like the traditional image of the devil. Diablo went through a risky procedure to tattoo his eyes in order to achieve his ultimate aim.
Huffington Post reports:
Diablo featured on Channel 5′s programme 200 Nips & Tucks And I Want More!, revealing his difficult journey that began in 2007.
He began with horns – teflon implants that were formed on his forehead, followed by fangs and forking his tongue.
It all also sounds incredibly painful. “One person stands behind you with two clamps,” he said, “and literally pulls your tongue out and apart and the other person starts cutting. It’s a really bizarre feeling actually.”
He then decided to have his entire face tattooed, as well as forming his ears into a more pointy shape. The riskiest part of his transformation however, has been having his eyes tattooed – a procedure that carries a risk of blindness if the cornea is punctured.
“You can’t be scared of pain if you’re Devil Man,” says Diablo, and the real kicker is that all these body modifications – due to UK law – have had to be done without anaesthetic.
Despite his appearance, he says that this is about his ideas of body image – it hasn’t got anything to do with his religious leanings.
“I am a human curiosity but body modification is my life’s journey,”. “It’s a little bit weird, a little bit eccentric but that’s what I am. I chose to become the Devil Man because everything else has been done, whether here or in America. I’m not Satanic at all – it’s just a piece of fun.”
Diablo has said that there have been repercussions that he hadn’t thought of before doing this (a no sh*t Sherlock moment if ever we heard one), but that he hasn’t given up on love, despite acknowledging it will be hard to meet someone.
