Meet 55-year-old Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa – or Tiamat for short – who claims she’s the first and only person to have her ears and nose cosmetically removed to give her a more dragon-like appearance. In addition to being transgender, Eva has undergone a number of painful surgeries as part of her transformation into a ‘mythical beast,’ including: nose modification, tooth extraction and eye coloring… horns implanted onto her forehead, scarification on her face and chest that resemble reptilian scales…. swell as a forked tongue and a full-face tattoo .

“I don’t care what people say about me or my views, and if I have to I will defy and stand alone against the world, but never will I make any compromise to my integrity.” wrote Eva on a recent photo of herself. (via the Daily Mail)

Love it. Although…. I would be remiss if I didn’t remind everyone of the cosplay super fan who ALSO had his nose removed last year so that he could look like Captain America‘s nemisis Red Skull. Pics below. Remember… two’s a trend! I predict this time next year, we’ll ALL be noseless!
