It took him ten years to completely change his body — and now they call him a “living mutant.”
“Many people praise me for my appearance,” he says. “But for me, it’s not about looks — it’s about being free.”

At just 27, Niccolò Saverino from Aprilia, Italy, doesn’t look like anyone else — and that’s exactly how he wants it. Over the course of a decade, he’s turned his body into a living canvas. Nearly 70% of his skin is covered in tattoos, his tongue is split in two, and small subdermal implants rise beneath his skin like horns. His ears and face are decorated with piercings and gauges, each one part of the art he carries with him every day.

Niccolò says this transformation isn’t rebellion — it’s self-expression. “I don’t want to look like anyone else. I don’t follow examples — I create my own. I see art even in what others find strange.”

But being so visibly different isn’t always easy. He’s faced judgment, insults, and rejection, both in person and online. Still, Niccolò refuses to let hate define him.
“People often vent their venom because they’re bored. But that’s their problem, not mine. I’ll never let negativity disturb my peace.”

Behind his bold appearance is a deeply human story — one of resilience, courage, and unconditional love. The people who raised him, his grandparents, stand proudly by his side. They’ve supported him from the beginning and remind him that love doesn’t depend on appearances.

 Despite everything, strangers still stop him on the street — not to judge, but to thank him for his courage to be himself. Niccolò’s journey reminds us that beauty has no single definition.
He turned pain into art, judgment into strength, and difference into freedom.

Whether you see him as shocking or inspiring, Niccolò’s story proves one thing — the most beautiful thing you can be… is yourself.
