You can’t say he doesn’t go the extra mile.
When I was 12, I tried to get the same tan that my Malibu Barbie had. That’s about the closest I ever came to mutilating my body to match a fictional character. This guy wins.
37-year-old Henry from Caracas, Venezuela has undergone many permanent procedures, including chopping off part of his nose and tattooing his face to match the Captain America comic book villain Red Skull.
Wow. I’ve often thought to myself how kids these days don’t have enough dedication. This guy really sheds light on our apathy in following our dreams, doesn’t he? It makes me want to go after that law degree. Ha, just kidding. We all know the reality on that. So, no law school. Maybe Jude Law school. I’ll keep you posted on that.
So far, Henry has tattooed his face, inserted several subdermal implants in the skin of his forehead, cut off part of his nose, and literally tattooed his eyeballs. His . . . eye . . . balls . . . *shiver* I’m not a needle fan, but can you imagine a needle puncturing your eyeball a few hundred times?
He plans on getting several silicone implants in his cheekbones and chin to complete the look.
The man’s surgeon, who I’m sure is happy to lap up the business, said that Henry is intellectually healthy. Sure. Got it. By the way, they do surgery in Venezuela? I thought they were stuck at first aid kit level. Is that racist? Probably.
It turns out this guy is a father. Can you imagine his son’s show and tell day at school? He’s a shoo-in, for sure.
This guy permanently mutilated his face and did every possible thing to look like the Red Skull. Except shave. That’s what I call an oversight.

Holy hell! My husband and I went to the Ripley’s Believe it or Not in Myrtle Beach and saw various photos of self-mutilators and extreme tattooers. I just don’t get it.

The lengths people will go to in order to get noticed. He probably will get a call from the studio for the next “Captain America” film. That help to cover the cost of some of the surgery.

I really don’t know how I feel about body-modding, on the one hand, there is the anarchist in me saying “Yeah that’s cool as f**k”, then there’s the realist in me saying “Dude, you’ll never find a job”!

Maybe Red Skull is hiding in Venezuela since WWII, neighbor of (oh!) Henry.

Oh my god. This is commitment to fandom on a really awful level. His poor kid. Also, interesting fact- Venezuela is crazy for the plastic surgery. There was even a breast implant shortage there.

I loved this humorous take on the topic. Holy crap! He is someone’s father, sort of like a real life Darth Vader, how would the child grow up normal?

The forehead implants and blacked out eyes aren’t accurate in my opinion (and I’m not basing my opinion on the movie) I also find it funny that with all that he’s done he hasn’t shaved or tattooed more of his face. I mean, I don’t look at him and go “Hey, he looks like Red Skull!” but I would offer him ointment for what looks like a severely burned forehead.
I know, terribly judgmental of me, but yikes, this is just ridiculous. Couldn’t he have just painted his face red? I mean the main effect he’s going for could have been done with cheap Halloween makeup.
