An influencer has who has spent nearly $70,000 on body modifications has revealed that haters now say she looks like a demon... but she has no regrets.
Orylan, from Las Vegas, Nevada, got her first tattoo at age 14.
Now 26, she has covered almost all of her body with ink designs - including her eyeballs - and even had surgery to split her tongue.
While Orylan is obsessed with her extreme look, she admitted that not everyone has been accepting.
In fact, the social media star said that often gets 'stares' from strangers on the street, and internet trolls have resorted to calling her names.
'Most people will say I should have never changed myself but beauty is subjective and I believe the way I look now is the beauty I've always wanted to achieve,' Orylan told NeedToKnow recently.
'I think I can be beautiful in both ways but I am much more myself in the skin I am in today.
'When some people see my eyes they stare and point and say nothing, others give me ugly looks, and some will straight up get in my face and say they hate it.
'The craziest reactions are from people online hiding behind a screen.
'They love to say, "You look like a demon," or, "You were so much prettier before,' or "You must not have had a good childhood."'
As well as her tattoos and split tongue, Orylan had veneers fitted to form fangs and had a heart-shaped implant put in her hand.
According to Orylan, she doesn't usually plan out her modifications in advance, so she's unsure of what she will get next.
'I don't have a goal of looking like anything in particular. I go day by day, seeing if I want to change or modify something on my body,' she explained.
'For example, I'd possibly get more face tattoos and I'd possibly tattoo my tongue. I don't model myself on anything I just go by me and how I feel I want to look.'
Orylan has even claimed that she is able to taste two different foods at the same time - all thanks to her split tongue.
'[Splitting my tongue] cost only $700 and the process is numbing it with lidocaine and slicing it open, then sewing it back up on each side.'
Her advice to others who want to follow in her footsteps? Go for it and don't let haters tell you otherwise.
'The only advice I can really give to anyone wanting to modify or tattoo themselves is: do it out of love, do it out of the fact that it will make you happy,' she added.
'We should only do things that bring us joy, for me that's what modifying myself does, so I want that for others if that's what they chose, nothing but love and happiness.'
