Body modification fan left feeling shunned by other mums after marrying 'orc'

A mum-of-two says she is being shunned by other mothers after marrying an 'orc'.

Krishna Ledesma, 27, fell for and later married Delfio Ledesma, 43, who also goes by the name Orc Dusinfernu due to the vast amount of body-modification surgery he has undergone.

Krishna, who's no stranger to tattoos and piercings herself, has said people would comment on their inability to be good parents just because of the body-mods they've had.

She has said her husband Orc has even had death threats.

The couple live with their children - daughter Maria, 7, and son Henzo, 1, in Brazil.

Krishna got her first tattoo at 14 and first modified her body at the age of 23 when she got her eyeball pigmented.

Orc also got his first at the age of 14 and his first body modification at the age of 34.

Krishna confessed that she was never happy with her appearance before her body modification journey and she fell in love with it when she got her first tattoo.

"When I got to know this universe of body modification, it was love at first. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew exactly that I wanted to be a modified person," said Krishna.

"Being like everyone else was never an option for me and today wherever I go I stand out in the crowd.

"Before the changes to my body, I was just another person like everyone else and I went unnoticed.

"Now everything has changed; wherever I go I draw a lot of attention and everyone wants to know about me."

Orc too felt bad about himself before his tattoos and modifications but everything changed when he got his first tattoo at 14 on his leg with a homemade machine.

"Before I was just like everyone else. I was ugly and fragile and I went unnoticed in the crowd but now I feel strong and unique," he said.

"I feel like I am the owner of extraordinary power and I feel different, magical and mysterious.

"I do and say what I think and I have no country and no boss.

"I never liked to be like others and I am tired of weak-minded and aimless people.

"Most people follow rigid standards of beauty, style and behaviour and they will live unhappily forever.

"They are afraid of comments and of their families and of not being accepted."

Krishna and her husband's lifestyle has led to people commenting about their parenting style. People call them out for having children and it pains them.

"I feel very bad when I'm with my children and my husband and they call me a devil," said Krishna

"They judge my ability to be a mother by my appearance and say that I am not worthy of being a mother- all because of my appearance.

"I have been mistreated many times in places like restaurants and hotels.

"My tattoos are no way of measuring whether I am a worthy mother or not."

Orc also has to put with discrimination and even death threats from haters who do not approval of his way of life but what hurts him the most is when people talk about his children.

"People say my children live with a monster," said Orc.

"They say my children will have a bleak future. This makes me go out of control and leaves me shaken.

"Most of the time, I'm seen as a freak and people feel attacked by my presence and they can't stand being in the same space as me."

But deeply in love Krishna and her husband persist. They are happy in their familial bliss and do get love and appreciation from some people.

"There are people with a noble heart who see us with love," said Krishna.

"I also get a lot of compliments both for my appearance and for the way I take care of my family and it makes me very happy when I meet people like that with a good heart."

"Children and the elderly are attracted to me and they look at me with admiration and many people are inspired by my changes," said Orc.

"I have become an idol to a generation of young people who feel repudiated by the system and its shackles and I am proud that there are many people who want to be like me and that for me is my biggest trophy."
