A TATTOO artist has spent over $5,500 modifying his body - including having beads implanted into his penis so that he can pleasure his partner.
Mauricio Daniel Garcia, from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico first became fascinated with tattoos age five, while watching his dad, Jorge, getting inked.
At 18, he did his first tattoo design by himself and now he has amassed over 160 tattoos.
He says around 75 per cent of his body is covered and include the birthdays of his parents as well as the initials of his daughter, Allison.
He has spent an estimated $5,500 on his body modifications which include having his tongue split in half, cropping his ears, tattooing his eyeballs and gums black.
The latest in his body modification adventure is a painful genital implant - which inserts beads into the male genitalia - for the pleasure of his partner.
