A MAN with blank ink covering over 90 percent of his body has had his genitals removed to complete his goal of a full-body tattoo.
Adam Curlykale, 32, from Kaliningrad in Russia, believed his penis "interfered with the aesthetic enjoyment" of his smoky physique and paid to undergo extreme surgery in Mexico.
The ink addict was born with albinism and had been self conscious about his pale skin for a number of years.
He decided to cover his body in jet black designs several years ago after being diagnosed with cancer.
"I always knew that I was different from the rest of society," Adam explained.
"My favourite colour for example has always have been grey, in different tones, and that's why my current skin colour is graphite.
"I design my tattoos because it's my body. I have a specific vision for myself and I do it step by step".
Adam took to Facebook last week to share selfies with his fans after having his penis, testicles and nipples removed.
The 32-year-old is now cancer-free, but remains haunted by memories of the disease leaving his skin looking sickly and pale.
"Life is so short that I stopped wondering what will happen tomorrow," he added.
"Life is here and now."
