Victor Hugo Peralta Rodriguez has covered 95% of his body in tattoos so far, and he has no plans to stop any time soon

Victor Hugo Peralta Rodriguez got his first tattoo when he was just 13, and it was a bold choice.

He got the word 'f***' inked on his knuckles, and he's been adding to his artwork every since.

The 50-year-old now refers to himself as the "beautiful monster" as 95% of his body, including his eyeballs and the top of his penis, is completely covered in tats.

He also has countless piercings and other body modifications, including tongue splits, scarifications, ear incisions and a lobe expansion.

Victor, who was born in Uruguay and now lives in Argentina where he has been working as a tattoo artist for 26 years, says his favourite inkings are the ones on his face.

The most painful experience of his body art was the pigmentation of his tongue, which caused difficulty in breathing for hours.

He said: "My favourite tattoos are the ones on my face, but I have been changing them to feel more comfortable with my aesthetics.

"I tattooed the whole of my face. Today I do not have so many piercings, I had around 40 on the face a long time ago, but my favourite is the septum.
