This man has obviously some mental health problems and instead of addressing them, they surface like this. Shame on all the tattoo artists and doctors who are not turning him away and making a quick buck of this situation.

Yeah, his actions do not match his words. A person that chooses to look like this does not want to be normal. Normal is basically the most common of society and our common society (of the human race) does not look like this. To him, maybe he is finding his real self but it is not normal until more then half of his society looks similar.

He's French, but he had his nose removed in Spain and his fingers removed in Mexico, so he's obviously earning enough to travel widely and pay for surgery. He had his upper lip removed and split, and his tongue has been split in two, and he has difficulty speaking clearly now. Like that couldn't have been predicted...

He seems so desperate for attention and validation. It's exceptionally sad. I imagine it would be exhausting to be around him.

His job is this. This is his job. He makes money from his appearance.

Doesn't he have any family or friends that could have encouraged him to get help before he did all this? The fact he crosses the street not to scare people makes me sad. He must be pretty lonely. And the people that have done body modifications this extreme should be fined! I also don't think getting his penis split in half is gonna help with him finding a girlfriend!

Also, I've had tattoos, piercings and colored hair since I was a teen (I'm 42 now.) I've had to make sure my modifications worked with my jobs. At times, I've had to cover my tatts with clothing, cover my piercings with band-aids, and dye my hair a more normal (but still bright red) color. You can't expect people to hire you. He seems nice, and I hope he can find a job that is ok with it. But it's going to be a challenge.

body dysmorphia, literally

This is so terribly sad.

Shame on those surgeons who did not recognize his clear surgical addiction!

We have to live with the choices we’ve made.

Many people desperately wish for a healthy and normally functioning body and still don't have it. This man intentionally wrecked his for cheap thrill. So not worth it.

This guy needs help right now!

Sorry with 1.3Million followers he has a job. Unfortunately they made employing circus freak illegal years ago. But if you do it for yourself it's OK. The only issue is that other people will see this as an easy way to make money. Does he have any marketable skills?

The man is an attention whore. "I just like to be looked at like a normal person." NO YOU F*CKING DON'T!! You didn't get a few tattoos that were meaningful to you. You turned yourself into a Halloween decoration & now you're whining b/c everyone's judging you. Of course we are!! What you've done to yourself goes beyond what any reasonable person who ever hopes to have any sort of normal life would ever do. What kind of job did you think would hire you looking like that? School districts? Wall Street? Normally I'm the first one to sympathize w/ someone suffering from mental illness, but I don't see mental illness here. All I see is someone who figured they could capitalize on looking like a freak while also playing the victim, and he's got both roles down Pat.

I’m legit curious how he lifts weights with three fingers,

This is a rather extreme version of how people can go when they are allowed to identify as something they are not...and im glad that people on here are recognising that it's clearly a mental health issue. The surgeons should be utterly ashamed and be banned from performing further procedures on anyone

In the article it says that he's doing tattoos but that it's not enough (money-wise, I guess). But how do you tattoo someone with these disfigured hands..?!?

I'm sorry but that's scary. Imagine going out shopping or getting a service from him it would scare people. It's his right but it's so intimidating and unnerving it's no wonder nobody will hire him.

he looks like he's covered in black sharpie

When still on earth, you need to look like an earthling. People may not like to employ an alien! Sound rude but its true!!

This guy has some serious mental issues that need to be addressed. I am for being unique and individual, but this is literally thumbing your nose at all of humanity and distancing yourself. Colour yourself in as much as you like, but actively making yourself disabled is not a good sign. There's a medical term for this. Maybe he needs to do some training and get an office job somewhere. Once the rest of the employees got used to him, he'd be able to carry on. But I doubt front facing would work, other than in speciality work places, where the unusual is normal.

You look like an absolute f*cking freak and you can't get a job? WOW. Who would have seen THAT coming. Seek therapy. For real dude, you're messed up.

Do I get bonus points if I act like I care about this guy, cause he is messed up, I wouldn't hire him if he had a gun to my head

This is disgusting. An extreme waste of money and life. I have no sympathy for him and no desire to stand next to him. I don't actually care about what people do to themselves, I think everybody deserves to own their own life and choices, but no way to work up any sympathy that he can't get a job. He was handsome and pleasant looking and now looks like a monster. Nobody wants to work having to see a monster in their everyday life. Blech.

Most companies have the weird notion that their employees are direct representatives of the business. Within that paradigm. … it should be understood thst they want the faces selling the product to not bring attention to anything not related to the goods and services being offered. I’m sure there are businesses out there who would love the attention the BAP would bring to them, although other than a body modification front … nothing else springs to my mind

That m**********r back there is not Real!
