Man who spent £50,000 on body modification now planning giant full-body inking

A man who spent more than £50,000 covering himself with tattoos and piercings has now started a full-length body inking.

Karan Sidhu, 29, known as Tattoographer Karan from New Delhi, India, said almost every part of his body is tattooed apart from his genitals – although he says he intends to "take care of that later".

Karan, who got his first tattoo when he was 13, has also undergone painstaking procedures to get his eyeballs inked completely black, metal teeth implants and a split tongue.

He even has stretched ear lobes and three nose piercings.

Karan described the sensation of getting his eyeballs tattooed as having a "red hot needle" repeatedly enter the eye but said his teeth implants were more painful and took two-and-a-half-months to complete with him surviving on a liquid diet throughout this time.

Now, he is planning on having a full body suit tattoo from head to toe, front to back to become the first Indian to get his full body inked.

"I'm a self-taught professional tattoo artist with experience of over thirteen years and expertise of doing thousands of tattoos in India and abroad," said Karan.

"I was thirteen-years-old when I got my first tattoo and I was sixteen-years-old when I started making tattoos.

"I've had uncountable tattoos and now I'm working on my full body suit tattoo so eventually I will just have one tattoo which will be head to toe, front to back all connected."

He said he has already gone a three-day procedure recently that left him with a "black sleeve".

Speaking about getting his eyeballs inked back in 2017, he said he "could absorb the pain" and if he had a choice to do it again today, he would.

"I was amazed and spell bound since I really wanted it. It was my dream becoming reality which I could see and experience," he said.

Despite his passion for tattoos, Karan's body art does not come without its risks.

"Last time I inked my arm I was a bit careless so the skin got stuck on the shirt and was later ripped off with it.

"I was on bed rest for two weeks due to restricted movement of my arm and leg and some body weakness."
