A man has spent thousands to make himself look like a dragon.

Joshua Burns has splashed out £11,000 on surgical procedures to make him resemble a fire-breathing creature including covering himself in tattoos, cropping his earlobes and inserting silicone 'horns' into his forehead.

The Vancouver-based entertainer is hoping to break the world record for the most body modifications and is determined to totally resemble a dragon. He adds that his girlfriend is fully supportive of his wishes.

Burns told LADbible: "I want to be 100 per cent covered as a dragon, and beat all the world records out there for the most modifications and tattoos. But I also want to look aesthetically pleasing.

"I'm liking where I'm at currently but every time I get another tattoo or another modification, I feel more confident and happier - and it helps with my career."
