Who is Henry Rodriguez (Redskull), a tattoo artist from Venezuelan who turned himself into Marvel villain after removing nose, inking face and adding horns, bio & wiki

Meet Henry Rodriguez, a tattoo artist who has gone too extreme to resemble Marvel villain Red Skull, including having his nose cut off and horns put into his skull.

According to the Venezuelan father, he has spent £30,000 on bodily changes alone.
Henry said he tattooed his face to resemble the Captain America comics’ fictitious Nazi antagonist.

“I’ve always enjoyed what’s distinctive, outgoing, and I’m a comic lover who loves the Marvel Universe,” Henry explained.

“As a result, I chose to be who I am now, and I am content with myself.” That is the most crucial point.

“I wanted to transform myself into this incredible comic figure that I’ve liked since I was a kid.”

Red Skull originally appears in 1947 as Captain America’s arch-enemy, the Nazi agent Red Skull.

Hugo Weaving portrayed the character in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, and Ross Marquand voiced him in Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Henry has documented his experience with a series of images on Instagram, including photos of himself before all of the treatments.

The 42-year-old had implants implanted into his head, cheekbones, and brows, as well as having his eyes tattooed black.

He’s also had part of his nose removed and his ear lobes severed, which was a traumatic procedure.

He’s even had his nose cut off and horns implanted in his head.

“I believe there are personality and attitude similarities between this guy and myself,” he remarked.

“It’s important to note that the only thing I disagree with him on is his Nazi ideology.

“In terms of his physical appearance, I’ve always been drawn to his distinctive form, outgoing demeanor, and individuality.”

In 2012, the father took the choice to radically transform his look.

He’s added a few additional bodily modifications throughout the years to set himself apart from the original Red Skull.

Henry had many physical and psychological evaluations, according to his surgeon, before undergoing the bodily alterations.

It took him almost 130 hours to accomplish all of his efforts.

“My first makeover was an eye tattoo utilizing an inkeyeball method,” he explained.

“I received two implants beneath my skin after that.” It took around two years because it was a multi-step procedure that took longer than anticipated.

Henry’s first implant had been placed in the centre of his forehead.

“The first implant, which is in the centre of my forehead, was the first. Following that, I received implants in my brows and, ultimately, in my cheeks.

“After that, we continued with the nose amputation and altered the contour of my ears.”

He’s also had his tongue reshaped into a forked tongue, and he intends to have further surgeries done in the future.
