To Make Myself Look Like A “Human Zombie Cat,” I Got Tattoos On My Eyeballs And Even Cut Off My Nose – Here’s What I Looked Like Before

Published on March 16, 2025

A young woman has transformed herself into a “human zombie cat” after dozens of body alteration procedures.

Since she was eleven years old, Aydin Mod has been obsessed with changing her appearance.

In an attempt to get the extreme look, she has undergone numerous surgeries since first piercing her own face with a needle in the restroom.

The 23-year-old even had her nose and naval removed, had implants placed in her forehead, had several tattoos and “scarification” done, and had tattoos on her eyeballs.

She proceeded to further alter her appearance at the age of 15 by slicing her own tongue in two.

She is now approaching her ideal—and quite distinctive—dream look.

“To me, body modifications are natural, and amputations are also a need,” Aydin, a model and circus performer from Italy, told What’s The Jam.

“There’s nothing I’d consider too much or have trouble healing, my body accomplishes everything I want to do.”

“I’m the owner of [my body] so if my mind decides a thing, my body just finds a way too.”

Aydin recently had a significant alteration, having her nose removed and having “scarification” on her face, however she claims that tattooing her eyeballs was her most “extreme” alteration.

The inkings, which cover her face, neck, and chest, have a tiger-like striped appearance to emphasize the cat-like aspect.

Her remaining nose is flat and has upturned nostrils, making it nearly as little as a moggy’s.

Older changes include hefty piercings above her lips that allow her to prod her split tongue and pierced vaginal lips.

Over the previous 12 years, she has also had numerous tattoos and body piercings.

Aydin calls herself a “body horror queen” and “against natural beauty.”

“I decided looking like a zombie stray cat suits me more as I do feel a bit dead inside,” she joked.

“In my opinion, cutting your hair and doing your nails, dying your hair or shaving – that’s all still body modification.”

“Not permanent, but you alter the natural state of the body in a certain way.”

Aydin has had so much work done that she can’t even begin to figure out how much it has cost or how many changes her body has had.

On social media, where she has received millions of views, her appearance has proven to be both popular and controversial.

In her most popular video, which had 67 million views, Aydin demonstrated two surgical changes at once by sticking her split tongue through holes she had cut above her lips.

However, she is unaffected by any criticism, whether it be kind or unfavorable.

Aydin told Jam Press, “Honestly, I rarely pay attention to comments, both positive and negative ones, I think they’re just irrelevant opinions dictated by ignorance and personal tastes.”

“The only person I have to please is myself.”

“For example, people call me ‘ugly’ but I don’t even consider it an insult, to be honest.”

“I am a normal person, I’m living my best life and if someone is not cool with it they can just stay away from me.”

“Luckily, I have to say that I have a lot of support and I’m surrounded by lovely people, I don’t have any struggle with dealing with people in public just because of my appearance.”

“Usually I get along more with people who have different lifestyles than mine, which is surprising.”

Aydin’s mindset is that “nothing is permanent as we are all going to die” – perhaps helping her to make the more extreme decisions when it comes to changing her body.

“My only hope is that I get to evolve as I please until my last day on Earth,” she added.
