In his extreme pursuit of becoming a “black alien,” the world’s most modified man has taken one of his most shocking steps yet—surgically removing two fingers to create a claw-like hand. Anthony Loffredo, a 33-year-old from France, has spent more than a decade radically altering his body in an effort to completely redefine his appearance. His modifications include a split tongue, removed nose and ears, extensive tattoos, piercings, dermal implants, and the removal of his upper lip. Despite these drastic changes, Loffredo claims he is only 34 percent complete.
Some of his procedures have carried serious risks. Eyeball tattooing once temporarily impaired his vision, and many surgeries were performed abroad due to strict laws in France. Last year, he traveled to Spain to have his nose surgically removed.
