Fans of tattoos and extreme body modification descended on the capital of Ecuador this weekend for the annual Quito Tattoo Convention.
Maria Jose Christerna in Picture 1 from Mexico, also known as The Vampire Woman, was once of the 'big names' in attendance who took centre stage at the fair.
Christerna, who is in her late 30s, is covered head-to-toe in colourful artwork, but not satisfied with decorating her skin, she has also had dental work to create fangs, a forked tongue, dozens of piercings and sub-dermal implants on her head to make appear as if she has horns.
Tattoo artist Emilio Gonzalez Picture 2, also from Mexico, shows off his work at the Quito Tattoo Convention in Quito, Ecuador.
Body modification and tattoo artist Andrea Aguilar Picture 3, 26, also known as leopard woman, applies eye shadow at the convention.
Match made in heaven? Ms Aguilar poses with her husband, Richard Velez Picture 4, 21, who is also a body modification and tattoo artist
Mr Velez Picture 4 shows off the sutures after having his tongue split in order to create a 'forked' tongue.
Other visitors included American Matt Gone Picture 5, who has had over 95 per cent of his body covered in ink, including his tongue and genitals.
Mr Gone, originally from Portland, Oregon, also known as 'The Chequered Man', claims to have begun tattooing his body 25 years ago to disguise physical deformities.
