Adam Curlykale, from Kaliningrad in Russia has covered 90 per cent of his body with tattoo had his genitals removed as they spoiled the view of his body art.
Adam, is a cancer survivor, and he has spent 12 years covering his body, including his eyeballs, with black ink after he was diagnosed with cancer.
After sometime, he felt that some of his body part weren't covered with the tattoo, so he decided to remove his penis, testicles and nipples removed.
He travelled to Jardines Hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico, to have the operation to remove his nipples and private parts, local media reported.

After the operation, he shared pictures of himself in hospital with his social media followers.
He became famous last year after taking part in a television show called 'Second Face' in Poland where he revealed he had gotten his tattoos to cover the blemishes that were left behind by the cancer.
Although, he defeated the cancer, but his immune sysstem was weak. He was depressed because his skin looked sickly and pale.

When doctors diagnosed him with albinism, he had already started on his tattoos.
'I always knew that I was different from the rest of society,' he said.
'My favourite colour, for example, has always been grey, in different tones, and that's why my current skin colour is graphite.'

He said he is still planning what tattoos to get on the small section of his skin that remains ink-free.
'I design my tattoos because it's my body. I have a specific vision for myself and I do it step by step,' he said.
'Life is so short that I stopped wondering what will happen tomorrow. Life is here and now.'
