You know how people say things like, “New year, new me!” and then immediately buy a gym membership they’ll forget about by February? Or maybe they dye their hair pink for two weeks and act like they’ve transcended the space-time continuum? Yeah, Toxii is definitely not one of those people.
This woman didn’t just reinvent herself. She obliterated her old self and built something completely new in her place. We’re talking full-body transformation with a side of casual nose removal. Because why blend in when you were born to be a walking piece of modern mythology?
From Blonde Bombshell to Bodymod Badass
Back in 2019, if you stumbled upon a photo of Toxii (real name Daniëlle), you probably would’ve thought she was a regular Insta baddie. She had blonde hair, wore typical makeup and generally sent out soft feminine vibes. You wouldn’t have blinked twice scrolling past her selfie on your feed.
Fast forward a few years, and she is completely unrecognizable. Today, Toxii is covered head to toe in jet-black tattoos that give her skin a grayish, otherworldly sheen. Her eyes are tattooed black. Her forehead is decorated with implanted horns. Her tongue – split. And her nose? Gone. Surgically removed.
It’s not a Halloween costume, it’s not a phase, it’s her life – and she’s living it louder and bolder than most of us can imagine.
So… Why Remove Your Nose?
This is the part where even the most tattoo-positive among us pause and go, Okay, but… why? And luckily, Toxii has a pretty solid answer: she likes being imperfect. In an interview with The Mirror, she explained her philosophy with beautiful simplicity: “I like to be imperfect, and I think that imperfections make you unique.”
She doesn’t view her transformation as a way to shock or rebel. It’s not a performance. It’s a philosophy – one that challenges everything we’ve been told about beauty, symmetry, and the rules of how a “normal” person should look. While influencers shell out cash for the perfect nose job, she paid to remove hers entirely. If that’s not punk rock, what is?
Meet the Most Hardcore Collector You Know
This is the part that’s going to make you gasp: when asked what she did with her nose after the surgery, Toxii casually told artist Devon Rodriguez in an interview that she kept it in a jar, like a souvenir.
In fact, she apparently keeps all the parts she’s removed from her body (like ears, cartilage, skin bits) in little jars at home. It’s giving somewhere between Addams Family energy and DIY bio-art exhibit, right?
A Walking Work of Art (Whether You Like It or Not)
Toxii is well aware that people stare. In fact, she counts on it. She’s said herself that people’s reactions range from admiration to disgust, and everything in between. Some folks call her beautiful. Others say she looks like a demon or something straight out of Hellraiser.
But Toxii doesn’t care what you think, and that’s the whole point. She isn’t trying to be relatable. She’s not aiming for a beauty standard. She’s obliterating the idea of standards altogether. That’s why she resonates with so many fans, especially the ones who’ve felt like misfits, freaks, or weirdos for simply being themselves. In her unapologetic transformation, they see a kind of freedom that most people are too scared to even dream about.
From Side-Eye to Spotlight
You don’t go from girl-next-door to sci-fi icon without making a few headlines. And Toxii has made plenty. Her story has been picked up by British tabloids (The Sun, Mirror), European magazines, and gone mega-viral across Instagram and TikTok. She has hundreds of thousands of followers who obsessively document every new tattoo, every new implant, every new reveal.
She’s not just an influencer – she’s become a conversation starter, and low-key, a bodymod legend. Whether you think she’s brave, bizarre, brilliant, or bananas, one thing is for sure: you’re thinking about her. And that, friends, is power.
The Dark Side of the Ink
Of course, becoming a walking work of living sculpture isn’t without its downside. Toxii has talked about the pain of her procedures (apparently, the nose removal was excruciating, who would’ve thought). And though she seems to have thick skin, there’s no doubt she deals with judgment on the daily.
Strangers gawk, people whisper, sometimes they film her without consent. And while some praise her as a fearless artist, others accuse her of attention-seeking or mental instability. But she just shrugs. She didn’t do this for them. She did this for herself.
In a world obsessed with filters, facelifts, and fitting in, Toxii chose the road less traveled – and then bulldozed it into a new path entirely. Her story isn’t just about tattoos or body mods. It’s about autonomy. About choosing who you want to be, even if it makes other people uncomfortable. Especially if it makes other people uncomfortable.
So the next time you hear someone say, “New year, new me,” think of Toxii – and know that there’s at least one person out there who meant it with every fiber of their being.
