I spent £12k changing my face – I’ve cut my nose off, split my tongue & added HORNS… the obsession started aged 12

A DAD has spent £12,000 modifying is appearance – including cutting off his nose, splitting his tongue and adding HORNS. 

Raiden Dos Caras, 24, also cut off his ear, covered himself entirely in tattoos and underwent scarification branding.

It involves burning the skin with heated metal to form a simple but permanent design. 

Raiden, who has been nicknamed the “skull of two faces”, only has photos of himself without tattoos from when he was 17.

He had his first tattoo done when he was just 12, and has since undergone 25 body modifications, the reports.

Raiden said wife Angie Khaterine, 24, does not mind but his daughter Alice, three, worries.

Raiden, of Colombia, added: “My daughter is young, so she still doesn’t express herself much – but she does worry whenever I have surgery,” he said previously.

“She hopes that I will be fine, but I usually bounce back into my normal, healthy self as if nothing happened quickly.”

And his 11,000 Instagram followers have mixed opinions of his look, with many preferring his older appearance.

One person wrote: “From beauty to beast.

Another said: “You were so handsome. But now…”

A third person added: “You were beautiful.”

Referring to an old picture of Raiden, a fourth said: “Much better than now.”

Earlier this week we told how a model went blind and cried blue tears after tattooing her eyeballs.

Amber Luke spent more than £71,000 on body modifications since the age of 14, and has 600 tattoos covering 98 per cent of her body.

And a man was mocked for getting a tattoo of a lion that looked cross-eyed.
