They call him “Demon Dad” because of his crazy tattoos and horn implants on his forehead. 86% of his body is inked.

Raiden Kraneo Dos Caras was 12-years-old when first pricked by an ink needle. Today, the tattoo artist, 25, is covered head-to-toe, with an estimated 86% of his body’s surface dedicated to tattoos — including a skull-like face, reconstructed nose and horn implants on his forehead.

“People say I’m a demon,” Caras said. “But I consider myself a human being like any other.”

The Colombian father-of-one was attracted to the arts from a young age, and drawn those who chose skin as their medium. By 17, he’d added body modifications to his modes of artistic expression.

That’s when Caras, who shares three-year-old daughter Alice with wife Angie Katherine, 25, finally found his element, he told South West News Service.

The tattoo artist says he often receives messages from people online who criticize his appearance, and “release poison from behind a screen.” However, no one yet is bold enough to tell him to his face, he noted.
