The internationally-displayed artist is getting a Prince Albert piercing, with the inserted ring being made from a modified memorial presidential golden coin bearing President Trump's face.

Marking the controversial politician's birthday, the concept arose from an allegation that Russia holds a video of President Trump in a compromising situation.

The picture's defacing will be held in the gallery and is open to the public, but Emilio Rojas has asked that attendees wear gold "since he (Trump) likes to surround himself with gold."

Visitors can arrive for the alternative birthday party from 8pm, where they can enjoy cake with gold on it, drinks and music from Miss Dolly Poppers.
