Harry Hoofcloppen reached out to body modification expert Steve Haworth and asked if he could add extra nipples to his torso – before commissioning a tattoo artist to complete his look
A man has told how he has six nipples after having his chest surgically modified to add four more silicone ones to match his natural pair.
Harry Hoofcloppen reached out to body modification expert Steve Haworth and asked if he could add extra nipples to his torso. Steve agreed and added the four subdermal silicone implants designed to replicate male nipples. Harry then waited four months for them to heal before visiting a tattoo artist. The artist then coloured them in to make them look as lifelike as possible.
A video of the transformation has gone viral with more than 25,900 views. In the clip, Harry is topless as he walks up to the camera and gives a close-up of all six nipples. He then touches them with his fingers before flexing his abs. In another clip, shared on May 2, tattoo artist Angell explained the process and admits that he knows the procedure is “super controversial” and that “people have a lot to say” about it.
He calls it a “really awesome project” and mentions why the modification is not placed where nipples naturally occur – saying Steve was “not allowed” to place them there. Harry also reportedly consulted with a plastic surgeon on the placement of the nipples, before going ahead with the procedure. In his post, Harry adds: “Trans friends! Do you want this new 3D reconstruction nipple technology available for your top surgery or for someone you love? Please help spread the word to make this technique widely available to all those in need.”
In response, one person said: “Sooooo cool. Besides how important this would be for trans folks and breast cancer survivors… The six nipple look is so cool and sick!” [sic] Meanwhile a second person commented: “Wow this is AMAZING!!! I am definitely looking into this for myself, it looks like exactly the sort of thing I want, this project looks amazing!”
It comes after a couple who have 91 piercings and tattoos between them say people tell them they look like they are “from hell”. The body modification obsessed couple also said they are “happy and proud” to have been awarded Guinness World Record for “most body modifications” (married couple) – a title they have held for 10 years. Victor Hugo Peralta regularly appears in the media thanks to his outlandish appearance – which includes £400 metal horns implanted in his skull and the Devil “666” number carved into his scalp.
Victor says over 95% of his body is inked – an obsession which began at age 13 when he got his first tattoo, the word f**k written across the fingers of his left hand. He has never looked back and now sports dozens of inkings. The 52-year-old tattoo artist says he wants to emulate a “demon” with his modifications and while not everyone agrees with his choices, there’s one lady who has supported him every step of the way.
His wife, Gabriela, 52, is also obsessed with body modifications. She married the showman 15 years ago and in total, the pair now have a combined 91 inkings and modifications between them – a world record. The couple have recently renewed their record for “most body modifications” (married couple) 10 years after they earned an official Guinness World Record in 2014, back when they had a total of 84.
