“I am not a bad person,” a tattoo enthusiast who has spent more than £38,400 on his “demonic” body art says.

Soren Lorenson, alias Neon Demon, has more than 200 tattoos, with the most conspicuous modification perhaps being the black ink that fills in the whites of his eyes.

"The general sentiment that I keep running into is that some people see me and instantly view me as less of a person or even a bad person.

"The worst feedback I get is on the internet where people's true feelings are more apparent. Psychologically I get villainized sometimes because inwardly they think 'wow what would make him do that to himself? He must be crazy. He makes bad decisions. He looks scary.'"
