An extreme body modification fan has been accused of setting a "bad example" after showing off his latest enhancement - snake implants in both arms. According to Victor Hugo Peralta, dubbed a "real life demon" by some, the procedure cost him more than £5,000, and didn't hurt at all.
Victor, 53, has since shared footage of the grisly procedure to Instagram, which involved six silicone implants being placed beneath the skin to create a writhing, snake-like effect.
The clip, which has clocked up more than 21,000 views and hundreds of likes, begins with a person making an incision into Victor's arm, which has been placed on a surgical table.
Once the excess blood is wiped away, a pair of surgical scissors are used to position the implant, with a flat stick pushed with some force under the skin, giving the appearance of a snake.

His snake implants have sparked a mixed response online (Jam Press/@victor_h_peralta)Showman Victor didn't appear all that put out by the process, which proved quite shocking to some people, and could even be seen dancing away quite happily to the background music.
Victor, who lives in Argentina, explained: "I wanted to modify my original appearance, as I see myself markedly different from other beings.
"We are all unique pieces in the game of life and [this] makes me much more original and closer to how I want to look.
"I wasn't inspired by other people. as unique pieces in each person are totally different with each modification."
Victor's extreme body modification obsession has previously made headlines (Jam Press/@victor_h_peralta)This isn't the first time Victor's unique appearance has made headlines. He's previously had the Devillish number '666' carved into his scalp and has also had £400 metal horn implants fitted to his skull.
His first brush with body modification came at the age of just 13 when he had the word "f***" inked across the fingers of his left hand.
Nowadays, Victor claims approximately 95 per cent of his body is covered with tattoos, and he and his wife Gabriela, 52, have even held the Guinness World Record title for "most body modifications" (married couple) for 10 years.

"I enjoyed it from start to finish – it's not comparable to the loss of a loved one."

He's since received mixed reactions only, with some critics claiming he's setting a "bad example" for others.
One person commented: "Setting a bad example for the children."
Another remarked: "Is everything okay at home?"
Taking a different view, a third person approved: "When I grow up I want to be like Victor."
Victor doesn't care what critics think about his appearance (Jam Press/@victor_h_peralta)Victor, who spent 6,000 (EUR) (£5,160) on the op, says it doesn't bother him when people take issue with his unusual appearance.
He continued: "People react in different ways: surprise, curiosity, and fear. I don't have time for [negativity], so I only receive beauty from people who accept me as I am. My body is my decision and my life is not theirs."
