A dad with fangs and tattooed eyeballs has shocked people online after posting a clip of himself doing his bizarre hobby - hanging suspended from metal hooks his knees.
Marcelo ‘B-boy’ De Souza Ribeiro, from Brazil, has previously been called the “most modified man in the world” thanks to his unique altered appearance - and he has shocked his followers with his latest exploits. The dad from Rio de Janeiro posted a clip of himself undergoing body suspension, a very niche hobby which sees a person hanging their body from metal hooks placed through temporary holes in the skin.
The video shows Marcelo swinging around in mid-air, strung up with hooks on his knees. While the toe-curling video looks painful, he appears to be enjoying himself as he pulls his hands behind his back and performs spins.
Stunned onlookers watched as at one point, a plastic chair was balanced on top of his knees and Marcelo continued to swing about, seemingly enjoying the moment. After sharing the clip on Instagram with his 15,000 followers, people flooded the comments section with shocked face emojis.

Must be a pain for Karvalho.” “What… but it doesn't hurt? Answer our questions,” commented another user. Someone else said: “Help that that doesn't hurt?” “OMG I hurt watching this, much respect dude,” added another person.
