Meet the married couple with 91 piercings and tattoos between them

A couple obsessed with body modification have retained the Guinness World Record for their unusual looks for the best part of a decade.   

Victor Hugo Peralta, 52, has a Devil’s ‘666’ carved into his scalp, alongside £400 metal horns implanted into his skull.

His wife Gabriela, also 52, is also covered in inkings with a Mohican hair style.

The couple, who live in Argentina and married 15 years ago, have 91 tattoos and modifications between them, and while they love their look, they have previously been branded ‘cherubs from hell’ by people who aren’t so keen.

In 2014, they earned an official Guinness World Record for ‘most body modifications’ in the married couple category.

And they have just renewed the title for the ninth time.

Victor said: ‘When we received the title, I felt immense emotion and pride at being awarded for my choice of life.

Gabriela, from Argentina, said: ‘I’ve always been faithful to what I like and the image I want to have, respecting my inner being, which has been closely linked to art.

‘Growing up in my grandparent’s house, I breathed art 24 hours a day.

‘My grandfather was a musician and a photographer, with my grandmother a painter.

‘I grew up with art all around me.’   

Aged 13, Victor recalls getting his first inking with the word f*** across the fingers on his left hand.

He has since inked more than 95 per cent of his body and says he hopes to emulate a ‘demon’.

Victor added: ‘My father loved drawing and thanks to him, I adopted that passion for drawing and later grew up tattooing people.

‘Then, the modifications arrived and one day Guinness found us and awarded us for this passion.

‘I’m so happy and proud to be awarded with my wife for our life itself.’

Victor, who is originally from Uruguay, has been tattooing others for over 28 years in his own studio, Querubin Tattoo Studio, based in Buenos Aires.

After meeting his wife, they continued their passion together. 

Between them, they have spent thousands of pounds on their modifications, which include scarifications – or etchings in the skin – plus pointed ears and forked tongues.

Previously, they revealed how people online had branded them ‘Cherubs from hell’.

But they now say they have learned to deal with the trolls and hope to educate people on their mission. 

Victor added: ‘People react in different ways: surprise, curiosity and fear.

‘We’re often congratulated for our courage and for being daring, both with the pain threshold and tolerance for it.

‘But also because we’re confronting society by choosing a lifestyle that’s so different to other people without having any type of concerns.

‘We live it naturally and without prejudice – we simply are and we live as we want.

‘We’re very happy and if someone questions us or our way of living, we are always willing to talk or exchange opinions, as long as everything is respectful.’
