A man from Birmingham, England, who legally changed his name to King Of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-ite, has shared photos showing what he looked like before committing to extensive body modifications. Previously known as Mathew Whelan, the 45-year-old began his transformation in 2008 and has since spent more than £40,000 on tattoos and procedures, investing over 1,600 hours into the process. His striking appearance has made him one of the UK’s most instantly recognizable tattoo enthusiasts.
