A man is known as ‘Burns the Dragon’ has spent £11,000 on cosmetic procedures trying to look like the mythical creature. Joshua Burns, 30, a fire-breathing performer, has had procedures to carve scales into his arms and tattoo his eyeballs, among other things. Determined to become the world’s most modified person, Burns started his transformation when he was 19 - getting his tongue split in two. Since then, the performance artist and reptile seller from Vancouver, Canada, has had his earlobes cropped and ears shaped to appear pointed dyed his tongue purple and inserted silicone ‘horns’ into his forehead. He also has thousands of pounds worth of tattoos – the most intricate of which took 51 hours to complete.
