A trans non-binary tattoo enthusiast is struggling to find a place to rent due to their unique look featuring more than 60 tattoos.
Nahlu Blos de Mores - who has their eyeballs tattooed - has said that people assume they are a bad parent and unemployed because of their unconventional appearance.
The 28-year-old content creator now has more than 60 tattoos across their body, including floral tattoos covering their whole neck.
They also have undergone a tongue splitting procedure in which the tongue is cut in two to look like a snake's.
The Brazilian single parent, who got their piece of ink at 15, said: "I got my first tattoo when I was just fifteen years old. I got my eyebrows done and I have to admit that I hate them. Aged seventeen, I got my first tattoo in a tattoo shop, and my dad went with me to sign the papers.
"I now have sixty-two tattoos and I'm currently planning a full body suit of tattoos.
"Most of my tattoos have been done by my friends or colleagues from other tattoo studios, so I always do exchanges for these."
Nahlu said when they are out in public "people constantly stare".
One year ago, Nahlu came out as trans non-binary and has since been taking testosterone as part of their transition. They hope that the mastectomy surgery they are currently crowdfunding for, will give them the confidence to return to nude modelling.
Nahlu, parent to Ezaiah, seven and Kaylan who is three said that not everyone is supportive of their unique look and is often judged before people get to know them - they often rely on personal contacts and friends to find a place for their family to live.
Nahlu says that their children love their tattoos and even get temporary sticker tattoos themselves. They said: "I also find that people judge me for the way I look and it has been difficult for me to rent houses for example, as people always judge me before knowing me."
"I thought people would not support my modelling work anymore, because maybe people supported me because they saw me as a woman".
"The fact is that I have never been a woman. I have socialized as a woman, but I wasn't and I'm not a man. "My children absolutely love my tattoos and love getting temporary sticker tattoos themselves.
"I came out as trans nonbinary one year ago and it was a very difficult decision but I felt so much freedom after. "I was afraid that I would not be accepted by my family and friends and at my work.
"In the beginning everything was difficult but they are now respectful and this is important."The changes to my body have had a big impact on my career as a nude model.
"I'm not comfortable modelling for naked shoots until I have a mastectomy, so I have set up a Crowdfunder to help pay for this surgery."
Nahlu hopes that one day, those identifying as non-binary will not only be accepted, but also respected in society too.
"I want people understand that we non-binary people exists and have always existed,".
"Just like any other person, we need respect and that our voices be heard.
"It's not enough just to be accepted. We need to be respected too."
