    An Uber driver who is plastered head to toe in horror tattoos revealed how unrecognisable he was before his transformation.<\/p>\n

    Caleb Hendrickson \u201ccan\u2019t stand\u201d seeing his teenage self \u2013 but he bravely shared before and after pictures during an interview with Daily Star. He started his body art journey when he was 16 and now has up to 95% of his skin inked. <\/p>\n

    But a sensational throwback from when he was younger shows just how much has changed since Caleb splashed out over \u00a320,000 on tatts. And speaking to us, he said: \u201cI do have old photos I will show you but I can\u2019t stand looking at my old self.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI wasn\u2019t in control of my own fate and now I am in a sense. It\u2019s hard to depict really. I\u2019m very happy with the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Caleb, 30, was first inspired by body art after admiring his dad\u2019s sleeves when he was a kid. But his loved ones are not pleased with how extreme he has taken his obsession. <\/p>\n

    \u201cOh my family hates how far I\u2019ve gone with my tattoos,\u201d he said. Caleb lives in Arlington, Texas, and his striking appearance has held him back in the past.<\/p>\n

    He explained: \u201cI have been discriminated against when I\u2019ve been trying to get certain jobs. They simply just ended the interview [when they saw him].\u201d<\/p>\n

    But Caleb has now worked for Uber for two years and he said his customers appreciate his unique aesthetic. He said: \u201cBeing an Uber driver, most people just think I look cool.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "They usually say \u2018cool tattoos\u2019 or \u2018I want more tattoos and to look like you\u2019. In public they stare at the mall and I hear them say \u2018oh that guy is covered\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

    His love of horror came from the author H.P Lovecraft and Caleb\u2019s body is scattered with skulls, eyeball tentacle monsters, creepy crawlers, eyeballs and teeth. And his favourite tattoo is a Geisha on his left leg in traditional black ink.<\/p>\n

    Caleb is also a body modification enthusiast and he has altered his nose while also having dermal piercings, gauged ears, a conch and a philtrum. <\/p>\n

    But it\u2019s his face tattoos that inspire the most reaction. He used to have the word \u201csinner\u201d inked to his head but later got it covered up.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cI don\u2019t have a clue of how many I have but I got face tattoos when I was a piercer apprentice and I wanted to be enthralled in the lifestyle. But I later had a seizure and decided to get my face worked over because most of my face tattoos were merely a rebellious phase.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut the best thing (about his look now) is I feel more like me. And my message to people that tell other people not to get tattoos is to stay in your lane.\u201d<\/p>\n
