Colombian tattoo artist Larry Botello G, better known by his professional name, Raiden Craneo Dos Caras, has become well-known not just for his skill with ink, but for embodying a ‘demon’ persona through extensive tattoos and body modifications. Larry’s journey into the world of tattoo art began at the tender age of 12.
By the time he was 27, he had tattoos covering 86% of his body, including his face, which sports skull-like designs. His adventures into body modification started at 17, including dramatic changes such as removing the tip of his nose and adding horn-shaped implants to his forehead.
Despite his extraordinary appearance, Larry views himself as an ordinary individual, emphasizing that appearances do not define a person’s character. He often shares his perspective on this matter, highlighting that people who might appear ‘normal’ can sometimes exhibit less desirable traits. “I consider myself a person like everyone else. Sometimes people who look normal turn out to be the worst creatures,” he explains.
In his private life, Larry is happily married to Angie Catherine. Together, they are raising a daughter and share hobbies such as riding motorbikes, engaging in extreme sports, enjoying music, reading, and taking leisurely strolls in the park. He describes his family life as content and harmonious, counter to what some might expect given his daunting exterior.
This blend of artistic expression and personal contentment defines Larry Botello G’s life, challenging societal norms about beauty and acceptance, and illustrating the diverse ways in which individuals can find happiness and acceptance.
