Tattoos have long served as a powerful form of self-expression, often carrying deep personal, cultural, or spiritual meaning. For some, they are an art form; for others, a way to honor a memory or a loved one. But despite their growing popularity, tattoos—and body modifications more broadly—still face stigma in certain cultures.
Toxii Daniëlle is one of the most heavily tattooed women in the world, but her transformation goes far beyond ink. Her body is a canvas for extreme modification, including a procedure in which she had her nose removed—a body part she now keeps preserved in a jar.
Completely covered in tattoos from head to toe, the upper half of her body is almost entirely blacked out with ink. Her striking appearance has earned her a devoted following online, with more than 155,000 Instagram subscribers. She regularly shares images and updates about her modifications, which include a split tongue and subdermal silicone implants that create horn-like shapes beneath her skin.
In an interview posted to Instagram by street artist Devon Rodriguez, Toxii spoke openly about her motivations. “I like to be imperfect,” she said. “I think imperfections make you unique.”
When asked about the pain involved in her body transformations—specifically the horn-like implants on her forehead—she admitted that nothing compared to the pain of having her nose removed. Rodriguez then asked, “Did you keep the nose?” to which she replied casually, “I have all my body parts, in like little jars, yeah.”
Recently, Toxii stunned her followers by posting a photo of herself before the tattoos and modifications. The transformation was so dramatic, many couldn’t believe the difference just four years had made.
While her look may be polarizing, Toxii continues to challenge conventional beauty standards and redefine the boundaries of self-expression—one bold change at a time.
