Man Has 2 Fingers Removed As Part Of His Transformation Into A ‘Black Alien’

A French man who loves extreme body modification has had two perfectly healthy fingers removed as part of his transformation into a self-described “black alien.” Anthony Loffredo, who goes by Black Alien Project on social media, has gone far beyond full-body tattoos and piercings into much more intense procedures, and his recent trip to have the fingers removed from his left hand is the latest (and most likely not the last).

  1. Loffredo shared a video of the new look on Instagram. He captioned the photo, which showed his hand with the ring and pinky finger removed, in both French and Spanish: “I develop my inner peace.” He also mentioned “Black Alien evolution 34%,” which seems to imply he believes he’s not even halfway there.
  2. This isn’t even the most extreme body modification he’s performed. Not only has he had his nose and lips removed, but he’s also had his eyeballs tattooed black, his tongue split in half, and dermal implants put into his face.
  3. He seems to be planning to have the other hand done too. In a separate Instagram post, Loffredo thanked his more than 700,000 fans for their support and “energy” throughout this time and mentioned that he was undergoing “preparation for the other hand.” He also thanked the team of people who performed the surgery, writing: “On the other side of the world to continue my project, the procedure is going well, one more dream that it has just come true, thank you for doing your top job, thank you Mexico in my heart.”
  4. He’s always dreamed of doing something different with his body. In an interview with Midi Libre in 2017, Loffredo explained: “From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body.I had a click when I was a security guard. I realized that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia. It has become normal, even unconscious, to constantly think about my plans for the next few months. I love getting into the shoes of a scary character.” Whatever makes you happy!
