A tattoo fanatic dad who had his ears stretched to look like "Swiss cheese" says trolls tell him he's not fit to be a dad.
Remy, a dad-of-one from Canada, has inked his entire body black and has stretched out his lip - with his body modifications coting £87,000 in total
While Remy has no regrets about his look, he has revealed some people tell him he's unfit to be a dad to his 13-year-old son, Ivan.
"I’ve had a few people say things like my son should be taken from me because of how I look but this is only ever online," he said.
“My argument to that would be that if you think that way, you should never have children yourself.

“People stare a bit [in public] but they only say nice things and ask how long it took, how I handle the pain and generally compliment my work.”
Remy's first tattoo was a loving tribute to his son, having 'Ivan' inked onto his skin. Since then he's covered his entire body - and has revealed that the most painful ink he's ever had is on the inside of his bum.
He said: "I wasn’t concerned at all about my son [reacting] as tattoos and piercings don’t change anything.
"He’s never really 'noticed' them as I was already pretty different looking [when he was born in 2009] - it’s completely normal for him.
"As he’s gotten older, he’s become very nonchalant and it’s actually made him more tolerant of people being different looking I believe.
"His favourite tattoo [of mine] is the eye on my stomach and chest."
One of the biggest fans of Remy's look is his wife Sarah, who he met in 2016 - and Remy added he has plenty of admiration among his son's friends who are always desperate to meet him.
Remy, who is a chef and also owns a tattoo shop, is something of a local celebrity where he lives - and he thinks his son might follow in his footsteps.
Remy added: “My son will likely get some tattoos [in the future] but not as many as me."
