Extreme Bodies. Unusual People Customizing Themselves.
Hi,
.
.
Happy Tuesday to you all, fortunately the weekend is creeping yet nearer as you read this.
.
As you all probably know by now, I have a real fascination with people who use themselves as a canvas to re-create themselves to suit their tastes.
.
.
First of all we have a Mexican mother of four, who became a tattoo artist.
.
She totally changed herself to look like a Vampire.
.
This has involved the insertion of titanium horns into her head and covering her whole body with tattoos.
.
She has even changed the look of her eyes so that they now properly complement her Vampire look.
.
Apparently, her transformation is still an on-going process!
.
.
Maris Jose Cristerna.
Hopefully the Spanish language used will not spoil the visual aspects for you.
.
.
.
And what about my old favourite Cathie Jung.
This lady is quite unbelievable.
She has totally changed her body’s natural dimensions until she now has a 15″ waist.
Officially the world’s smallest.
.
In order to reach this tiny size she has worn ever diminishing sized corsets, 24 hours per day, for the last 22 years.
.
Here She Is.
.
.
.
.
Now, wasn’t that a nice change for a boring Tuesday.
After that, are you now deciding to visit a tattoo parlour yourself at the weekend!
J,

call me a boring traditionalist, but i don’t understand vampire lady. unless you possess draculean features, own some land and a castle in romania and can actually enjoy the taste of blood, it all looks a little overdone and boring
the second lady is just odd. that’s too freaky. i understand dita von teese did the same to get her slender waist, but she stopped at a good range, and went about shaping the other bits properly. she actually looks good!
but there is this guy here > the human zombie / cadaver guy. he is beautiful – i think. he has a whole moshpit of things tattoed and mostly bones and tissue at the exact location they’re in. i find his body work neat, just because it’s like a human xray walking around. and now he gets to model http://blog.modelmanagement.com/2011/03/04/model-rick-genest-zombie-boy-becomes-fashion-sensation/
!
hope you’ve been well jackie
Hey Nelly,
.
All is cool here, ta for asking!
.
I suppose that everyone just wants to be special, and I just love to be fascinated.
I find them all very interesting as works of art.
.
i totally agree about Zombie Boy….that is a really stunning work that he has had done.
And he is now being very successful, being the himself that he wanted to be.
And yes, he is beautiful too.
.
Wouldn’t life be more boring though, without these unusual people who dare to do their own thing no matter what.
.
I personally love the traditional tribal Polynesian tattoos that reach from the waist to the mid-thigh or knee
They are the ones that are reserved for marking the milestones in the life of a man, as rites of passage..
I think any guy would be improved by that additional touch.
.
Nor would I object to having a traditional Japanese ‘Yakusa style’ tattoo myself….some of the ones done by the old masters are real works of art.
To each his own eh!
.
Hope you are enjoying life on the sunny side of the street.
Take care,
Jaksie x.
