THIS 33-YEAR-OLD Italian tattoo artist has 85% of his body covered in tattoos - and he has no plans to stop. Buio, from Veneto, Italy, started tattooing on himself at just 13 years old when his mother bought him a basic tattooing kit. His first ever tattoo was actually on his face, and today most of his face is covered in full black ink. Having gone through a difficult childhood, Buio found his lost happiness in tattooing. Most of Buio's tattoos are inspired by Maori and Buddhist culture - and he has even added a Buddhist swastika to his neck. The tattoo artist even used to be part of the Italian aviation, where he was made to cover his tattoos each day. Buio used to play bass guitar and the drums when he was younger, and started to rap in 2009 - nowadays he is trying to make it as a trap rapper. His close friend Christian, who is also a tattoo artist, came to visit Buio for a one-off surprise tattoo session - the friends will give each other a tattoo at the same time... Chrisitan told Truly: "It's something we've never done, and I've never seen anyone do but we've done a lot of stupid things together, so let's see how this one turns out." Looking to the future, Buio wants to get his eyeballs tattooed and his tongue split. "There's never an ending to tattooing myself, it's a beautiful thing so it's right to be continued," said Buio.
