These incredibly gruesome and disturbing photographs are the work of German experimental photographer Herr Buchta.
These images are from his 2008 'pain' collection. His other gallery categories include death, S&M, religion, fun, classic, portraits and self.
The self category is particularly interesting as it allows you to see the artist himself immersed in the bizarre artistic world of his own creation.
If these photos aren't freaky enough for you, then you will enjoy the considerably more graphic photographs featured on Buchta's website.
