Everybody has different colour preferences but to have one after a surgery like a penis transplant is quite rare. However, a South African man recently had the most bizarre request to his doctors when he got his penis transplant because the new one was white while he was black.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the 40-year-old man who got the world’s third successful penis transplant wants to colour-correct his penis through extensive medical tattooing because he now has a white penis. The procedure will take place later this year after the surgery heals but the man will be able to have sex before that.

The man whose identity has been protected for ethical reasons had lost his penis after a botched circumcision because of which he was depressed but now seems to be really happy. Due to the lack of donors, the doctors had to use a white man’s penis in the surgery which turned out to be successful.
