Despite being beaten up, a firefighter who had 90 percent of his body tattooed claimed he couldn’t improve his life and that he looked like a criminal.
André Stuffinger, 44, of Zurich, Switzerland, has ten piercings, eyeball tattoos, tongue split, and more than 100 tattoos on his body.
Over the years, the industry cook and volunteer firefighter estimated that he had spent almost £26,000 on his knuckle.
Although he had always enjoyed getting body modifications and tattoos, he began as soon as he could, a few months after his 18th birthday.
He chose to have a butterfly tattoo on his right upper arm. He claimed that he loved this tattoo as much and that he would “do it every time.”
Moreover, she said, “My lip tattoo has a little dragon, and my lip mod has a split tongue; it’s still healing.”
“My transformation began 26 years ago, but it hasn’t been completed by any means yet.” I believe it will never be caught, but I assure you I will always be making some modifications.
I now have 10 tattoos, six more planned right now, and an undetermined amount of piercings. It’s not a full body suit. There are more than 100 single tattoos on my skin, I would say.
“If I had to put a figure on it, I would say I’ve spent £26,000, but that’s just a figure; the actual amount is unknown.”

Even though things haven’t always been easy, André’s body has drawn criticism; some have even compared him to a criminal.
Many people tell me that they are first skeptical of me due to my appearance, but that usually changes as they get to know me better. And that’s okay all right. “I’m a very calm person; it’s very difficult to get me in to rage,” he said.
Children often stare at me with wide eyes and ask, “Who is that?” They genuinely wonder why children are more accepting of others.
“Older people seem to be like me and are very open to changes to their bodies.””My transformation began 26 years ago, but it hasn’t been completed by any means. I believe it will never be caught, but I assure you I will always be making some modifications.

The 44-year-old stated: “They are unique because when they first see me, they don’t always get it straight; some people don’t even bother to look at my ingrained eye.”
However, upon his first glance, people do not seem to notice that he has tattoos on his body.
“When I’m on duty and in my fisher uniform.” The vĖctĖms or civiliаns do not notice my presence at first; typically, this happens much later, andreaĕ ĕaid.
I believe that the reason I am not receiving different treatment during a rescue is due to my uniform and helmet.
In a typical situation, I believe it would be easy for them to ignore anything I have shown them. From my experience, veterinarians are only happy to help.
With ninety percent of his body covered in tattoos, he also says that he like to read aloud his life stories, saying things like, “I’m a person who doesn’t think about what could happen if I do something, I tend to just do it, what’s the worst that could happen?”

The pastry chef is shown here before to his initial transformation, which he claims happened over time.
“I have always felt like a normal guy. It’s normal for me, both now and in the past. My tattoos, piercings, and mods are now part of me; I can’t imagine my life without them.”
Andree has had numerous physical modifications, and the process hasn’t always been painless.
Even to those closest to him, some of his modifications may seem a little startling.
He said, “It’s funny how easy the procedure was for me to get an eye tattoo.” That wasn’t painful at all; rather, it became more unbearable for a few days.
The tongue split was quite painful due to the swelling. After about three days, it is impossible to eat or drink anything; it is difficult to even speak.

“Oddly enough, the eyeball tattoos were very easy for me during the process,” he said. The only thing that hurt was being so𝖗e for a few days afterward.
“I think in a scary situation it’s very easy for them to overlook any of my I think they can see,” he said about how civilians react to his tattoo when he’s on duty. See the picture: Andrea on a work out for fire
“You see me now and all of my nips, piercings, and mod-fi takes at the same time.” But for my parents, it came together piece by piece.
They were never happy about it, but they understood why I chose to do it.
“But my face tattoo was hard for both of them to understand.” We never really talked about the fact that my mom died of cance𝖗. Even now, that makes me feel bad.
“My dad accepted me, and he knows I love my life, have a job, and are a part of the community.”
