Anthony Loffredo thinks he is three-quarters of the way through his metamorphosis.
A man who has gone to extremes with body modification has detailed the daily problems he suffers because of his physical appearance.
Anthony Loffredo severed some of his fingers and both ears in an attempt to fulfill his fantasy of becoming a ‘alien’.
The Frenchman’s quest began a decade ago when he got his tongue severed like a snake.
He is now 36 years old and has had practically all of his body tattooed black, including his eyes, as well as facial implants and a portion of his lips and nose severed.
Some of his alterations were so extreme that he had to travel to various areas of the world to complete them. However, Anthony discovered that sticking out from the throng had its own set of issues.
In the 2023 documentary I Transformed Myself Into An Alien, Anthony discusses the discrimination he suffers on a daily basis.
He recalls being prohibited from restaurants, being turned down for job interviews, and having Uber drivers simply drive by him.
The individual can’t even create an OnlyFans account because the app couldn’t recognize him to validate his profile.
Anthony elaborated on the Club 113 podcast in 2022, saying, “It’s an everyday struggle, because every day you meet new people who don’t understand and want to judge.”
“That’s life; not everyone understands everything, just like I don’t understand many things about many people.”
It must have taken a toll, as Anthony, who now resides in Mexico, stated last year that the project will be placed on hold.
His next step was to amputate his leg and replace it with a biomechanical prosthesis. It is understood that this did not take place.
Last December, he abruptly ended the Black Alien expedition. He revealed in an Instagram post that ‘the project had lost all value’ to him.
However, his break was brief, and throughout the summer, the tattoo aficionado returned to invite people to join him in his makeover through the Black Alien ink programme.
The workshop teaches fans about safety, health, cleanliness, and, of course, tattooing, allowing them to perform body makeovers themselves.
The course appears to be extremely successful, as stated on its website: “Our method is not exceptional, it is not a secret, it is not magic… it simply works.
“Yes, there are different ways to study, some cheaper, some more expensive…But there are no better options.”
Anthony made bold claims there.
Anthony continues to update his Instagram followers, who number 1.3 million. Last Monday, he hinted that he was 75 percent of the way through his makeover.
He captioned a video of himself getting more of his face tattooed black, writing, “I come back strong to the game, with my great evolution, I love this face a little uglier.”
