People have had tattoos and piercings for a long time. Many people get tattoos to remember a loved one, friend, or pet who has died.
Others see them as works of art and enjoy having them on their bodies. Itās only Anthony Loffredo, though, who can change the way your body looks with tattoos and piercings.
The French man, 34 years old, has changed many parts of his body, such as cutting off his ears, splitting his tongue, putting subdermal implants on his forehead, and making his face black.
Anthony Loffredoās name changes toĀ āBlack Alien,āĀ and itās out of this world.
The body is very interesting. Just the idea that the body can fix itself is like something out of a magic book. When you think about it, our bodies are like machines.
Black Alien ā Anthony Loffredo
Take a look at these facts fromĀ National Geographic.
When weāre asleep, our brains are busier than when weāre awake.
Our bodies give off a very small amount of light that our eyes canāt see. Information speeds along nerves at about 248 miles per hour, and scientists think the nose can detect about a trillion different smells.
A lot of things about the human body are too cool or hard to understand, and the same is true for how we look.
Just the fact that evolution has given us tools like five fingers and five toes on each foot and hand is amazing and makes perfect sense in the field of biology.
Some people want to go even further with evolution, even though our bodies seem to have done a great job of adaptation.
A lot of people have chosen to change their bodies in a lot of different ways. But now thereās a new person online who is getting a lot of attention
Anthony Loffredo is his name, but he is better known asĀ āBlack Alien.ā
He has changed his body so much over the past ten years that he now looks more like a non-human than a person. So what made him start?
He made the strangest change to himself a few weeks ago. Hereās everything you need to know about him.
Right now, he looks like a creature from another planet.
Anthony Loffredoās body changes have been making people look twice for more than ten years. He was very interested in the human body and the different ways it could beĀ āshapedāĀ when he was a child.
Who is Black Alien?
He told the French news siteĀ Midilibre,Ā āSince I was little, I have been passionate about the mutations and transformations of the human body,ā
Andy, Anthonyās younger brother, remembers whenĀ āBlack AlienāĀ became truly interested in him. He mostly did bodybuilding exercises when he was a youngster. The first thing Anthony did to change his shape was bodybuilding.
Seeing people get bigger and stronger in bodybuilding was a way for him to change the body.
āFrom the age of 10, he used the internet to watch bodybuildersā bodiesĀ ātransform,āĀ Anthony recalled.
Anthony Loffredo was a security guard when he was in his 20s. But something wasnāt quite right. Anthony chose to change careers because he didnāt think he was living the life he wanted to live.
āI stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia. It has become normal, even unconscious, to constantly think about my plans [for the body modification] for the next few months,āĀ he said, adding that he loves to get into the shoes of aĀ āscary character.ā
āI often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets. I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself.ā
Black Alien ā body modifications
When Loffredo got back to France from a trip to Australia, he chose toĀ āsculptureāĀ his body.
He went through his big transition and body change over four years. He does say that he could have done much more, though.
Loffredo says how he changed his car into aĀ āBlack AlienāĀ is the project of a lifetime. And now, what heās done is making people look twice.
In only four years, heās done a lot.
Black Alien has black lines inked all over his body, a tattoo that made his face black, a tattoo that made his tongue split like a lizardās, and a tattoo that made his eyes black.
Itās not just tattoos, though. Loffredo has also had special surgeries, like having skin implants put in his head to make it look like a reptile.
Besides that, he has had surgery to remove his ears, tattoos on his nose, brow, and chin, and parts of his cheeks cut out to make them look like pink lightning bolts.
Loffredo had to go to Spain to get the nose taken off because it was against the law in his home country of France.
āThank you to you, @oscarmarquezbodymod you will have marked my life. Now I can walk with my head high, thanks to you. I am proud of what we did together,āĀ he wrote on Instagram after his drastic nose job.
This year, he also had his upper lip cut off. Now, Black Alien has revealed that he has finished the next part of his transformation.
Flaunts his brand-newĀ āalien claw.ā
He says that heās only changed 34% of what he wanted to change so far.
Loffredo is writing about his trip on Instagram. He is calling it theĀ āBlack Alien Project.āĀ More than 850,000 people are following him right now. How far heās willing to go astounds his fans.
Loffredo hopes to have his skin cut off and replaced with metal in the future. He also wants to change the look of his arms, legs, fingers, and head. He has now taken the first step.
Back a few weeks ago, Black Alien posted pictures of his most recent change, which showed anĀ āalien clawāĀ missing two fingers.
Along with those who praise him for being brave, there are those who question his intentions.
There are people who would be scared to run into Loffredo in public. He says that he has no trouble at all attracting people of the opposite sex, even though he has a very attractive appearance.
Loffredoās family is behind him, even though this is a very extreme change to his body. Around Motherās Day in the UK, Black Alien shared a picture of himself and his mom, which got a lot of likes.
He wrote in the description,Ā āMum tells them itās not true ā she doesnāt have nightmares when she looks at me,ā āOne of my biggest wins is making you smile. āA mother would never judge her son.ā
Future plans
Black Alien wanted to leave Montpellier, France, and travel to other European countries. What is the goal?
To see how people from different countries see him and feel about the way he looks like an alien. For fun, he also wants to record their reactions on film and work on tattooing eyeballs.
He doesnāt feel bad about any of the changes heās made.
āMy only regret would be that I didnāt do it,āĀ he said.
As was already said, Loffredo canāt have all of the treatments in France because itās against the law. He chose to move to Barcelona, Spain, because he really loves that place.
āThere are people of all ancestry here, and I like it,āĀ he said, adding that he always gets curious looks from people passing by.
Loffredo said in September that he is about a third of the way done with theĀ āBlack Alien Project.āĀ We donāt know what he will do next. Without a doubt, Anthony Loffredoās good looks will continue to amaze everyone. It will be interesting to see what he looks like when heās done.
His current situation is tough because he is trying to find steady work and many companies donāt want to hire him because of his many tattoos and other body modifications.
Loffredo has said more than once that heās frustrated with his job search and that heās having a hard time finding work.
He also talked about the big problems that come up because of the way he looks, pointing out the huge amount of bad things that people think about it
