Brazillian Tattoo Enthusiast Transforms into an Orc

Rico Ledezma, a tattoo enthusiast from Brazil, embarked on an extraordinary quest to resemble an orc from the "Lord of the Rings" saga. Ledezma, now 41, initially ventured into tattoos and subdermal piercings seven years ago. However, his transformation into an orc commenced approximately a year prior.

Bodily Modifications and Artistic Endeavors

Currently, an astounding 85 percent of Ledezma's body is adorned with tattoos, including his eyeballs. Adorning his head are eight subdermal horns, his tongue is bifurcated, and his ears and nose have been surgically altered. Among his most agonizing modifications was the branding of his calf with a hot iron, which resulted in a four-month healing process. Ledezma also underwent the intricate installation of six artificial fangs, despite the ensuing difficulties with chewing. Notably, the expense of the fangs amounted to around three thousand Brazilian reals (42 thousand rubles), the only professional medical intervention he has sought.

Ledezma's wife, Krishna Insomnia, a 25-year-old tattoo artist, executed all other tattoos, piercings, and modifications. The couple shares a daughter and are anticipating the arrival of their second child.

Family Support and Artistic Inspiration

Ledezma expresses his family's contentment with his appearance, extending that acceptance to any potential bodily modifications his daughter may desire. His unusual exterior has captured the attention of film producers, leading to his upcoming debut in a cinematic production.
