Re: It freaks me out
Remember this man - changed his name to Stalking Cat - he wanted to be/look like a Tiger. Now I love Tigers but would never go this far! He died in 2012, aged 54 (I think), rumoured to be suicide.
Description of modifications
Many of Stalking Cat's body modifications were performed by Arizona-based artist Steve Haworth. The first artist to begin the extensive tattoo work on Stalking Cat's face was Larry Hanks in San Diego, California, who started the work in 1985.He had over 14 modifications, including:
Extensive tattooing, including facial tattooing
Facial subdermal implants to change the shape of his brow, forehead, and the bridge of his nose
Flattening his nose, via septum relocation
Silicone injection in his lips, cheeks, chin, and other parts of his face Bifurcating (splitting) his upper lip
Filing and capping his teeth Surgically shaping his ears, making his ears pointed and his earlobes elongated
Surgical hairline modification
Piercing his upper lip and transdermal implants on his forehead, to facilitate wearing whiskers
Wearing green contact lenses with slit irises
Wearing a robotic tail
Future modification plans included a plan for implants on top of his head, for mounting tiger-like ears.
