'Vampire' woman gets ‘horns’ implanted

[KittyWampus]

Maria Hose Cristerna, a mum of four from Mexico, showed off her unusual looks at a tattoo exhibition in Monterrey in California recently. She had her body transformed as a reaction to enduring years of abuse at home.

The striking look is completed by specially shaped vampire 'fang' teeth, fake eye colours and massive earrings – but she's not finished yet! The 35-year-old claims that she wants even more horns implanted.

'Tattoos were a form of liberation for me – my way of being immortal - and the horns I have are a symbol of strength and were implanted without anaesthetic,' she told The Sun.

'I had the fangs done because I loved vampires as a little girl and I changed the colour of my eyes so they were how I really wanted them to be.'

1. There is a time and a place for this type of thing...

It's called an insane asylum and the time is right now.

2. Criminy, and I thought I drew stares in Mexico.

Once, two old ladies called me the devil because of my tattoos.

[ZombieHorde]

3. I love to see people enjoying their flesh. nt

[Texasgal]

4. Oh lord..

:popcorn:

Fluffing pillows here on the couch if any of ya wanna join me. :)

[a la izquierda]

8. I'll join you.

I had it out with someone on here about tattoos a few months back.

[gratuitous]

18. It's a multiple choice quiz

You can look like the woman in the photo or have money.

[blondeatlast]

44. I'm way late to the party, dammit, but I brought soda,

popcorn, and my pjs.

[Texasgal]

52. Cute PJ'S!!!

:P

[Skidmore]

5. Some people withdraw to protect themselves and others

put armor on. She certainly has donned hers.

[MineralMan]

33. You know, she might feel the same about you, actually.

Why do you care?

[Skidmore]

40. I simply made an observation. The article refers to her

experience of abuse. Her own statements point to choices made in order to survive. As a survivor of abuse myself, I chose to withdraw for a period of time. I know other survivors who donned bristly armor, perhaps not physically as she did but bristly armor nonetheless.

Not certain why you reacted to my observation in this way though.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Pardon my typical male reaction, but....

... can you imagine waking up next to her some morning?

[MineralMan]

34. She might feel the same about you.

Ever think about that one?

[lumberjack_jeff]

49. I hope she'd be as motivated to avoid me as I her. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

51. Yep, and I wouldn't blame her a bit

[Raine]

7. Wonder how she'll feel when she's 80 years old. nt

[a la izquierda]

9. Probably happy to be alive.

My mom used to ask me the same thing (I do NOT look anywhere near as unique is this woman)...I told her every time that if I lived to be 80, I'd be happy no matter what I looked like.

[Raine]

27. True still life is hard enough at that age

who knows how much worse it will be in the future. The way things are going now I often wonder if people who are too different will be hunted down and locked away. Yeah I know I'm a pessimist some days more than others. :-( I like to be different too, that's why I worry about these things.

[a la izquierda]

30. Well, in a professional sense, you'd never know I had ink...

and I like to keep it that way, so I only tattoo places I can easily hide.
But yeah, I get what you're saying. I hope we don't end up with a V for Vendetta-like society (sorry, first movie that popped in my head) in which anyone "alternative" gets locked up. Hell, it's happened in the past in Latin America. Gay? We'll target you as a pedophile and lock you away. Leftist? Eliminated.
Eep.

[notadmblnd]

10. Obviously she's given no thought to what that gonna look like in another 20 years.

[Withywindle]

11. Reminds me of this guy (longtime internet celebrity)

So VERY much not my scene, but I don't have any kind of ~moral problem with it. I have tattoos and piercings myself, so it's really just a matter of degree.

[KittyWampus]

13. I am astounded at people's creativity. It really goes so far outside the box. You'd really have to

trust your ink-artist.

[Withywindle]

17. Yeah, it does.

I can totally relate to having a fantasy about being a tiger or a vampire. That's just another Friday night (or Thursday morning) at my house! To altering one's face permanently? No, I can't go there. But other people do, and I'll fight for them having that choice. Who does it hurt?

She's certainly not doing this to be conventionally attractive by patriarchal standards!

[Matariki]

37. Ha! I saw him at my local Lowes a while back.

More power to him.

[Lucinda]

12. I couldn't do it....but more power to her

Her body her choice.

[Contrary1]

14. I can see Russia through her earrings. n/t

[WillyT]

15. So... I Guess That Bank Teller Thing Didn't Work Out...

As we used to say back in the day... freaky deaky!

:wow:

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. "Any distinguishing features you'd care to list, m'am?"

:rofl:

[valerief]

19. Bwahahaha! I'd like to see her in a lineup.

:rofl:

I guess "ordinary ugly" just wasn't enough for her.

[slackmaster]

20. We had a few people get outraged in the thread about men being crucified in the Philippines...

...for Good Friday.

[cali]

21. that's just sad

[joneschick]

22. on the plus side

I'll bet she doesn't get pressured by the other moms to serve on too many PTA committees. :hi:

[blondeatlast]

47. Definitely a plus! nt

[City of Mills]

23. Whatever makes her happy

If I looked like that I'd be auditioning for movies, she could probably make some money off her looks.

[MrsBrady]

24. i'd like to watch her try to get past the TSA pre flight n/t

[Cognitive_Resonance]

25. Look at me, look at me. nt

[tabasco]

26. I would freak the fuck out if I saw her in a dark alley.

I suppose that's the reaction she's going for.

[Terra Alta]

28. It's her body and she can do whatever she wants to with it

but shouldn't she be thinking of her kids.. I'm sure this is an embarrassment to them, when other children tell them what a freak their mom is..

And she might regret this later in life.. has that ever crossed her mind?

[Stevenmarc]

29. I admire her commitment to a look but in 40 years when her horns sag she'll put an eye out.

[formernaderite]

31. to each his own.... but I do feel for her kids

my own kids used to ask me to cover the tats when coming to school lol but that was a long time ago, when tats weren't that cool I guess. My wife has zero body art...but I'm an old hippie :)

[MineralMan]

32. Oh, well. Not my thing, but she should do whatever she wants.

I can't see how it affects me in any way, so it's none of my business.

[OwnedByFerrets]

35. Its her body...go for it

[Matariki]

36. Good for her. n/t

[OhioChick]

38. Oh my n/t

[Dappleganger]

39. Probably cheaper than therapy, but good for her.

I wonder if she gets horn headaches? Nothing else there looks too drastic from anything else I've seen already.

[Ignis]

41. Good for her. In the words of St. Jimi:

I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die
So let me live my life
The way I want to.

-- from "If 6 Was 9"

[etherealtruth]

42. Yuck ...I hate it

So ... I would never choose any of this for myself. I have no doubt she'd look at me and say the same thing.

We get to make out own choices about our own bodies

[Cali_Democrat]

43. Cool. n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

45. ugh. ugh

[Warren DeMontague]

46. "Morgan Stanley thanks you for your interest, yet we regret to inform you

that we don't have any positions available for someone with your qualifications."

[blondeatlast]

48. Tough thing for her kids I bet, but more power to her, I suppose. nt

[AsahinaKimi]

50. Reminds me of the lead singer from (oraru vanpaia)

AURAL VAMPIRE..though she is much prettier..
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/4171404/Aural+Vampire+1.jpg

She goes by the stage name Exo-Chika. Her fangs are permanent.

Here's a sample!
