He fell in love with tattoos when he was just eight years old, and he wanted just one tattoo, but he now plans to get his entire body covered in ink.

Inked Juluisz (24) is a German content creator who goes by the name Inkedjuliusz2.3 on social media. He has been sharing pictures of how he went from a plain-faced teenager to his new look with a metal mohawk and inked eyeballs.

In 2022, he decided to get the transdermal implant procedure, which involved having metal plates inserted into his head. The metal plates created a mohawk look, which he switches up by having different screws, from sharp, spiked ones to horn-shaped ones.

The mohawk cost him €3 500 (R69 796), and he has a total of 14 implants. The procedure took 2,5 hours, and he did the metal in one sitting.

“At 15, I first contacted a body modification artist in Munich to learn more about the metal mohawk. However, back then, I had different priorities.”

“My favourite thing I’ve done so far is the mohawk; even though it causes minor inflammation, I just love the look.”

Juliusz is far from done — he plans to get up to 12 more implants, including custom-made ones for his left forearm.

Juliusz also has several tattoos, including black eyeballs and a black tongue.

“I thought about getting one tattoo, but as time passed, my fascination with body modifications and tattoos grew stronger,” he said.

He got into the world of tattoos in 2019, which for him was an experience that “ignited a fire within.”

Since then he has been covering his body with various tattoos that reflect his innermost thoughts, feelings and passions.

“Each tattoo tells a story, and I proudly wear them as a canvas of my life's journey.”

In 2022, he decided to get eyeball tattoos. “This unique form of self-expression embodies my fearlessness and willingness to push boundaries.”

Although he has tattoos, not all of them have a specific meaning.

“I get them because I like the design, and I believe I'll still like them in 10 years' time. The exception is my tattoo on the right side of my head, which relates to my music genre that I’ve been listening to since I was 12 years old.”

He claims that he receives positive reactions about his body modifications, but online is different. “Negative comments or remarks offline are rare, and if there are any, I often don’t notice them. Negative comments online range from insults to sermons and religious messages. Positive comments are also frequent, and my loyal community supports me strongly.”

Now Juliusz is trying to build his online presence. However, he has shared that finding a partner is proving to be a challenge.

“I’m currently looking for a partner, but it's quite challenging due to my body modifications. Okay, for me, the problem is that I prefer men significantly more to women.”

“It's generally very difficult to find the right guy based on my looks alone, but also because I'm very picky and prefer a type of man that will be very difficult to reach.”
