The 23-year-old from Germany has undergone some extensive body modifications. Most noticeable are the holes in the alternative models cheeks which are so cavernous that he can flick his tongue through them.

In addition, he has 27 different piercings, six tattoos and branded buttocks

"There is not one person or one thing that inspired me, I just enjoy playing with my body and blood," Miggler told the Caters New Agency.
