Tattoos and piercings have been popular for many years. Some decide they want to honor their late family member, friend, or pet with a tattoo, while others see it as art and a nice piece to have on the body. However, no one comes close to Anthony Loffredo when altering the body with some tattoos and piercings.
The 34-year-old French man has altered his body in many ways, including cropped ears, a split tongue, subdermal implants on his forehead, and a blackened face.
Anthony Loffredo is called “Black Alien,” whose transformation is out of this world.
The human body is fascinating. Just the fact that the body itself can heal a wound is like something taken straight out of a magic book – and when looking into it, we live with a machine inside of us.
Black Alien – Anthony Loffredo
Just look at these facts, as reported by National Geographic.
Our brain is more active when we’re asleep than awake; our body gives off a tiny amount of light that’s too weak for the eye to see, information zooms along nerves at about 248 mph, and scientists estimate that the nose can recognize about a trillion different scents.
There are many things with the human body that is too cool or complex to understand, and that also goes with our appearance. Just the fact that evolution has given us tools of, for example, five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot is amazing, perfectly calculated in the science of biology.¨
However, even though our bodies seem to have adopted incredibly well regarding evolution, some people want to take it a step further.
Many people have decided that they want to modify their bodies in numerous different ways. But now, a new person is getting a lot of attention online. His name is Anthony Loffredo, or more famously known as “Black Alien.”
Today after more than a decade of body modifications, he looks more like a non-human than a human. So what got him started? Here’s all you need to know about him – and his most bizarre modification he went through just weeks ago.
Now, he looks like an extraterrestrial creature.
Who is Black Alien?
“Since I was little, I have been passionate about the mutations and transformations of the human body,” he told the French media outlet Midilibre.
Anthony’s younger brother, Andy, recalls when “Black Alien” found his passion. As a teenager, he was mostly into bodybuilding, practicing the basics. Bodybuilding was the way Anthony got into body modification from the start.
From the age of 10, he used the internet to watch bodybuilders’ bodies “transform,” Anthony recalled.
In his 20s, Anthony Loffredo was working as a security guard. However, something wasn’t quite right. Anthony felt like he wasn’t living the life he wanted to live, and instead, he decided to change career paths.
“I 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,” he said, adding that he loves to get into the shoes of a “scary character.”
